"This song was written for someone I admire very much... Rev. Dr. Alison Barfoot, Assistant to the Archbishop of Uganda. When I knew her well, she was my priest. I took benedictions from the liturgy and her one of her favorite scriptures and wrote this song for her as a gift when she was getting ready to move." - K.S.
Verse 1:
Go forth into the world
Rejoicing in His Spirit
Preach the good news to the poor; and set the captives free.

Chorus:
And your people will be my people,
And your God will be
my God, and
Wherever you go my heart will go also
For I will pray for you.

Verse 2:
Go in peace
to love and serve,
Giving thanks to our God
And the Sovereign Lord
Will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations (CH)

Bridge:
May the peace of God
Which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God,
And His Son Jesus Christ.

Wherever you go, my heart will go also
For I will pray for you
For I will pray for you
For I will pray for you
