Song DescriptionThe Great Commission in song. This is a great way to teach kids and grownups the last command of the Lord Jesus Christ. Message is "fleshed out" in the second verse in the story of Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch.
Story Behind the SongI originally wrote this song just to teach kids the Great Commission. When I got ready to record it, Jamie and I felt it needed "something more" to make it more interesting. I came up with the idea of putting a story in there. It was really fun trying to fit the story of the Ethiopian Eunuch into the structure of the song and making it rhyme and fit. I was happy with the result.

Lyrics
Hear the words of the Lord Jesus Christ:
All authority has been given to me
In heaven and on the earth
Go therefore and make disciples
Of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
And the Son and the Holy Spirit
Teaching them to observe
All that I commanded you.
And lo, I am with you always
Even to the end of the age
Matthew 28:18-20
Gallopin' to Gaza
The Eunuch takes a ride
Chariot wheels are whirlin'
Reads Isaiah on the fly
The angel of the Lord is whisperin' to Philip
"Go down to the desert cuz I got a job for you."
"You'd better run a little faster!"
"You gotta jump up with that dude."
Phil was preachin' Jesus,
Hit him right between the eyes
Passin' by the water
Says, "I wanna be baptized!"
Philip did the dunkin'
Cuz the eunuch was sincere
When they popped out of the water
Preacher Philip..................disappeared!
All authority...
