Mission literally means "to send." Here are a few songs to inspire a mission trip, or amuse you while you are on one.
You Send Me
Sam Cook
On one hand, a lover’s ode. On the other,
the song might make you ask, who is the
ultimate sender?
Return to Sender
Elvis Presley
Let’s hope your mission trip “sending”
goes better than this.
Send Me on My Way
Rusted Root
An ode to letting go — point the direction,
and serve.
Children Go Where I Send Thee
Johnny Cash
One-by-one or two-by-two, this old Spiritual
is a poetic, lyrical view of being sent. And the
Man in Black makes it sound like so much fun.
Send Me
Lecrae
Possibly the only rap song to quote the
Great Commission.
If God Will Send His Angels
U2
That old U2charist chestnut can be
quite motivating.
Send it to Me
The Rolling Stones
If Ray Charles can make "This Little Light of
Mine" into "This Little Girl of Mine," surely
the Church can find a theological take in this
recent Rolling Stones number.
Heaven Must Have Sent You
The Elgins
A classic that should be listened to regardless
of your mission status; Motown soul that’s
good for yours.
