| One Generation Copyright © 2001 Rushing Waters Song History |
| Dreaming of a place Dismal and dark A place without love and peace Where the people have no hope or any destiny Trudging through their lives of monotony Blindly we walk Through our days on this earth Our eyes unable to see The lost sheep of God Stranded in the plains To whom we've been sent to set free *Chorus* One generation from a world without Christ One generation from a world without the Light Who will spread the Gospel and share the New Life For if "Christ's love compels us" We must abandon the nest and fly On a lonely mountain off in Galilee Jesus Christ delivered our mission To seek out the lost and live out our faith "Making disciples of all nations, Baptizing them in His name" Sharing in His grace Revealing the gift of salvation Delivering the message of our Savior on the Cross Praising His name in unison |
Song History 8. One Generation Back |
Lyrics Brandon Willey Music Jeff Davis On the high school Mexico trip with Amor Ministries (Spring break 2001), a pastor spoke to the group about the necessity of missions. Some of the last words of his speech rang in the ears of Brandon and Jeff: "We're one generation from a world without Christ." Brandon penned the lyrics to this song on the ride back to Mesa, AZ, and it was recorded for "Purify" with Gabe Durben finger-picking the lead rhythm. Lyric thoughts from Brandon My thoughts have not changed on the necessity of missions, and am constantly shocked at the truth within the pastor's statement. We are truly one generation away. We must spread the gospel through our nation, other nations, our kids, co-workers, and anyone else God places in our paths. |
