Lyrics

There’s a westerly wind washing over my skin
It’s working its way to my toes
And I can’t begin to know where it has been
Or where it’s planning to go

I feel it pull sweet at my hands and my feet
Pushing me outside my home
There’s a road at my door heading East, and I’m sure
It’s calling my spirit to roam

Beyond my borders, out to the corners
I have my orders, and I’m ready to go
To every nation, tell all of Creation
That there is salvation in Jesus alone

There’s a ghost of a whisper that rings in my ears
Like rain on a roof made of tin
It comforts my soul as I cower in fear
Then gently it calls me again

So I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving this town
And everything that I know
With Your Spirit inside and Your will as my guide
My God, I’m ready to go

Beyond my borders, out to the corners
I have my orders, and I’m ready to go
To every nation, tell all of Creation
That there is salvation in Jesus alone

So break down my walls – I hear Your call
And I’m ready to go

Out past the breakers, out past the waves, to tell there is freedom for sinners and slaves
And there is a God – a God who can save – growing His grace in the heart of a grave
So quicken my feet, loosen my tongue, bury Your gospel inside of my lungs
Till every breath is laced with Your Word – till every civilization has heard
Oh, Spirit lead me on

Beyond my borders, out to the corners
I have my orders, and I’m ready to go
To every nation, tell all of Creation
That there is salvation in Jesus alone

So break down my walls – Lord, I hear Your call
And I’m ready to go
