I'm Going On a Mission

I’m going on a mission, I’m going to serve the Lord

I’m going to freeze my tail off, I’m going to go knock doors

I’ll make it through the MTC I’ve heard I’ll like it there

I’m going on a mission

To teach and lose some hair

I’ve got my suits all packed and ready

I’ve read true to the faith

The field is white and set for harvest

It’s time to shave my face

My family I will leave behind

My friends and my cell phone

I’ll be away for two long years

But I won’t be out alone

As I pack my one last tie, my mom sheds one more tear

I puff out my chest and smile and say I don’t have any fear

Of course I know that is a lie

I’ll get homesick a lot

But I know I’m doing right by this,

God’s children should be taught

I’ll testify of God the Father and of his holy son

I’ll leave and serve with all my heart and say thy will be done.
