For the Lamb has conquered
I will follow Him
to the ends of the earth
I will follow Him
Chorus:
Jesus You're worthy
Of every tribe and tongue
All for Your glory
Till every soul is won
Bridge:
The harvest is ready
We have to go
We won't stop
Till the whole world knows
The power in Your blood
To save every soul
We're not ashamed of the gospel
I will preach the gospel
Die and be forgotten
As long as You get the glory

Meaning & Inspiration
Missionary Anthem centers on the worthiness of Jesus and the call to carry the gospel beyond familiar places. The opening declaration, “For the Lamb has conquered,” gives the song’s mission language a foundation in Christ’s victory rather than personal ambition. Its chorus widens the vision to every tribe and tongue, presenting worship and evangelism as joined responses to the glory of Christ.
The harvest imagery closely echoes Jesus’ teaching about plentiful fields and needed laborers. The bridge answers that urgency with readiness to go, confidence in the saving power of Christ’s blood, and freedom from shame about the gospel. Even the stark pledge to preach and be forgotten places recognition beneath the desire that Christ receive glory. The result is a focused missionary confession: Jesus is worthy, the gospel brings salvation, and faithful witness continues until people among the nations have heard.
