The master said to the servant,
"Go into the streets and lanes of the city,
And bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.
Then go out to the highways and hedges,
and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled."Bring them in, bring them in, bring them all to Jesus.
Bring them in, bring them in, bring them all to the Lord.They brought a friend who was suffering
To ask for healing from the Lord,
But so many crowded in the dwelling,
They couldn't get the friend through the door.So they lifted him to the roof-top,
Then down to Jesus below.
The Lord said, "Son, your sins are forgiven
Take up your bed, take up your bed,
Your faith has made you whole, you are made whole."So let us bring them in, bring them in, bring them all to Jesus.
Bring them in, bring them in, bring them all to the Lord."Now come to me who are weary
And I will give you rest,
And all who come in humble faith
They will be surely blessed.My will is done when the people come.
My truth will set them free.
But how will they know if you do not go?
Now bring them in, now bring them in, now bring them all to me!"Yes, Lord, we'll go and
Bbring them in, bring them in, bring them all to Jesus.
Bring them in, bring them in, bring them all to the Lord.
