Behold I Send You Lyrics

Behold I Send You - Sir Jude Nnam

...

Behold, I send you / Sir Jude Nnam

Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command

Immortal tidings in your mortal hands

Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring

Make straight, make straight the highway of the King

Behold, I send you like sheep among the wolves

Carry no haversack, carry no money

Be in the world, but not of the world

I am with you always, says the Lord

Thro' desert ways, dark fens and deep morass

Thro' jungles, slugish seas and mountain pass

Build ye the road, and falter not nor stray

Prepare across the earth the King's highway

Behold, I send you like sheep among the wolves

Carry no haversack, carry no money

Be in the world, but not of the world

I am with you always, says the Lord

Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build

To see the promise of the day fulfilled

When war shall be no more and strife shall cease

Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace

Behold, I send you like sheep among the wolves

Carry no haversack, carry no money

Be in the world, but not of the world

I am with you always, says the Lord
