BEHIND THE LYRICS
The Great Commission
There is a purpose to our creation. Don’t just seek to exist, find your calling. Make every day count! Be driven to do the best. God will do the rest! This lyric is inspired by passages from Corinthians 12:4 and 14:12 and Romans 12:6 in the Bible. The scripture reads… ‘We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith.’

Verse 1
On the last day of His life Christ was in Galilee
“Peace be with you” – He said.
