Set My Face Toward Jerusalem
I've set my face toward Jerusalem
and I ain't turning back.
I set my face toward Jerusalem;
gonna stay right on track.
I heard the call of the Lord to go preach His word.
So I'm leaving all and following Him.

"Now, let the dead bury the dead!"
That's what my Jesus said.
"Go and preach my word instead
So the hungry can be fed.
Now, put your hand to the plow
and take that Gospel Vow.
Just leave it all and follow now."

Now, the harvest truly is great
and the laborers are few.
Pray the Lord of the Harvest
to send more workers through.
Yes, there's so little time, yet so much work to do.
Won't you leave it all and follow, too.

Just set your face toward Jerusalem,
and don't you look back.
Just set your face toward Jerusalem
and stay right on track.
Oh, hear the call of the Lord
to go preach His word.
Just leave it all and follow Him.

Chorus:

I'm settin' my face toward Jerusalem
and I ain't turning back.
I set my face toward Jerusalem;
gonna stay right on track.
I heard the call of the Lord to go preach His word.
So I'm leaving all and following Him.
I'm leaving all and following Him.
I'm leaving all and following Him.

VARIATION TO THE CHORUS:

Chorus 2:

Set my face toward Jerusalem
and I ain't turning back.
Set my face toward Jerusalem;
gonna stay right on track.
I heard the call of the Lord to go sing His word.
So I'm leaving all and following Him.

I set my face toward Jerusalem
and I ain't turning back.
Set my face toward Jerusalem;
gonna stay right on track.
I heard the call of the Lord to go sing His word.
So I'm leaving all and following Him.
I'm leaving all and following Him.
I'm leaving all and following Him.

I set my face toward Jerusalem
and I ain't turning back.
I set my face toward Jerusalem;
gonna stay right on track.
I heard the call of the Lord to go and sing His word.
So I'm leaving all and following Him.
I'm leaving all and following Him.
I'm leaving all and following Him.
