Mission Bell
by Three Crosses

Album: Three Crosses

The southern wind was blowing
I heard the mission bell
Frozen in the moment
Time stood still
My soul was like the sunlight
Dancing in the sea
Unsure of where tomorrow leads

I wish that I had listened
All those years ago
I know I can't go back in time
But I'm fortunate to know
The miracles that Christ performed
I've seen His truth unfold
To the toll of the mission bell

The mission bells
Were ringing in my mind
I knew the Lord was calling me but I
I tried to keep my distance
But I could not deny
The toll of the mission bell

Shadows in the darkness
And bitter souls who cry
We're living in an age of sin
Where children are left to die
They try to see tomorrow
But these streets tell only lies
As the tears roll down my eyes
I can't help but wonder why

The mission bells
Were ringing in my mind
I knew the Lord was calling me but I
I tried to keep my distance
But I could not deny
The toll of the mission bell

Tell me can you hear
The mission bells tonight
Somewhere in the distance
God is calling you (calling you)
I pray that you'd learn from my mistake
My years of wasted time
Running from the mission bell

The mission bells
Were ringing in my mind
I knew the Lord was calling me but I
I tried to keep my distance
But I could not deny
The toll of the mission bell
The toll of the mission bell
