(ANNA TUFTS)
COME AND SIT BESIDE ME, SON
I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO SAY
TIME IS RUNNING OUT, MY SON
AFTER ALL, WE'RE ONLY PROMISED TODAY
WHEN I SEE THE FAITH YOU’RE BLESSED WITH
WHEN I SEE YOUR SERVANT’S HEART
I KNOW THAT HEAVEN GAVE THESE GIFTS
NOW YOU MUST DO YOUR PART
AFTER ALL THAT GOD HAS GIVEN
MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED OF YOU
I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE GREAT THINGS YOU WILL DO
NO CHALLENGE TOO BIG
NO SACRIFICE TOO GREAT
NO OBSTACLE TOO VAST TO OVERTHROW
WHEN DUTY WHISPERS LOW, "THOU MUST!”
WHEREVER GOD MAY SEND YOU, YOU MUST GO
(YOUNG EDGAR)
I HEARD THE THINGS YOU SAID TO ME
I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I’M GOING TO DO
WHATEVER GOD DEMANDS OF ME
I WILL GO, AND I WILL CARRY IT THROUGH
MAY THIS KEEP ME EVER MINDFUL
OF THE PROMISE I HAVE MADE
THE FIRE YOU KINDLED
HELPS ME FACE THE FUTURE UNAFRAID
I WILL LABOR TO BE WORTHY
OF THE TRUST YOU’VE PLACED IN ME
TO BECOME THE MAN HE’S CALLING ME TO BE
NO CHALLENGE TO BIG
NO SACRIFICE TOO GREAT
NO OBSTACLE TOO VAST TO OVERTHROW
WHEN DUTY WHISPERS LOW, "THOU MUST!”
WHEREVER GOD MAY SEND ME
I WILL GO!
(COMPANY)
IN THESE HEARTS THAT YOU CREATED
SET AGLOW A SACRED FLAME
WE TAKE YOUR GIFTS AND GIVE OUR LIVES
TO GLORIFY YOUR NAME
THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER, LORD
ARE YOURS FOREVERMORE
YOU WILL GUIDE US ALL THE WAY TO HEAVEN'S SHORE
NO SACRIFICE TOO GREAT
NO OBSTACLE TOO VAST TO OVERTHROW
WHEN DUTY WHISPERS LOW, "THOU MUST!”
WHEREVER GOD MAY SEND US
WE WILL GO!
