Lyrics
[Verse 1]
To know You and to make You known
This is the anthem of our souls
Send us out, we will go
Anywhere You lead us, Lord
[Chorus]
Driven by love
Till all have heard
We'll carry Your name
To the ends of the earth
We’ll carry Your love
And shine with Your light
Till the whole world knows You
And lifts You high
[Verse 2]
Our eyes we set on Jesus
As we obey the great commission
As the Father sent His only Son
Jesus, You are sending us, come on
Oh-ohh Jesus, You are sending us
[Chorus]
Driven by love
Till all have heard
We'll carry Your name
To the ends of the earth
We'll carry Your love
And shine with Your light
Till the whole world knows You
And lifts You high
[Bridge]
To a broken world around us
Let us be Your heart, oh God
To the unreached and forgotten
Let us be Your healing arms
There's a task You've laid before us
Your voice we can't ignore
You said go into the nations
As Your final words
To a broken world around us
Let us be Your heart, oh God
To the unreached and forgotten
Let us be Your healing arms
There's a task You've laid before us
Your voice we can't ignore
You said go into the nations
As Your final words, oh-ohh

Meaning & Inspiration
Driven By Love centers Christian mission on knowing Jesus and making him known. The verses present obedience as movement: being sent, going wherever the Lord leads, and carrying his name beyond familiar places. Love is portrayed as the motive for that work, while light and healing describe its visible expression among people who are unreached, forgotten, or hurting. The lyric keeps proclamation and compassionate service together rather than treating them as separate callings.\n\nThe song draws directly on the language of the Great Commission and on the pattern of Jesus sending his followers as the Father sent him. Its repeated reference to the ends of the earth also recalls the witness described in Acts. These biblical echoes support the central appeal that the good news should cross boundaries until all have heard. The bridge adds urgency by calling attention to a task that cannot be ignored. As a whole, the song functions as a corporate declaration of availability, with devotion to Christ leading naturally toward evangelism, mercy, and faithful witness among the nations.
