Sign hangs over the exit door, reminds us what we came here for And where God calls us when we leave, it says "You're entering your mission field, reminds us that our God is real And that our world is full of needs. And we're all called to respond To Love our neighbor, hands and feet of Christ to all To be a blessing, to all people great and small Reach out and welcome, even people not like me Out the door I walk on by I'm reminded what it says on that church exit sign Just about 5 years ago, got a call from a guy I used to know Wanted to share some news with me, he said, The church we both grew up in was closing down and soon would end Was there a momento he could save for me And I thought about that sign all the Sunday school teachers who brought me up right So in a comment I intended as a joke you see, I said could you get that sign for me My friend called me back the next day The sign's sitting in my living room, hope you'll come and get it soon Even though your 2000 miles away I guess I was feeling a little bad, until the friend drove the sign over to my dad Now I guess the jokes on me Son do you have a plan for this sign, I'd like it out, I'll give you some time Son, I know that you live kind of far, if you come get the sign, I'll give you my old car So I drove across this great big land in my dad's neon green mini van Precious cargo, sign in tow I drove the van up to my house to see my daughter and unsuspecting spouse Pulled the van up to unload Where'd you get that big stupid sign, hang it where, not in mine Don't focus so much about the size of the sign, cmon honey it will be fine The words on the sign, help to remind us I guess its not plan to see why that old sign means so much to me I'll try to put it this way In the days that my faith was formed in me, I looked to the saints of the church to see How to live a faithful way But at some point back in time, the saints started walking past the sign The neighbors changed and over time Worried about only people on the inside The sign became for me, the church's lasting legacy A reminder that we're called to something more Hadn't decided where to hang the sign but marriage is all about compromise We hung the sign in the garage So whenever I take the garbage out or hop in my car to drive about I'm reminded of those words As I go out into the world I am entering the mission field And God calls, me and us to respond
