Theme Song “This is My Mission”
(Tune: Blessed Assurance)
Blessed with His goodness,
Blessed with His love
Blessed with showers that come from above
Blessed with His sunshine,
Blessed with His air,
I’ll go on helping everywhere.
Remembering others, whenever I pray,
Looking to Jesus, He is the Way.
Onward I travel, He’s by my side,
I’ll never falter, He is my guide,
Chorus:
This is my mission, this is my prayer,
helping the needy everywhere,
this is my Mission, this is my prayer,
helping the needy everywhere.
