The Commission (song)

Last updated

There is a God in heaven and He sent His only son to die for you, just for you. We get to spend all eternity with Him. This short life on earth, it isn't everything. Our whole purpose is to see Jesus as our King but also as our Friend and Someone who said I'm entrusting all the Gospel, all the good news to you. And I'm counting on you to pass it along to somebody that you care about.
