lyrics

I used to be a salesman in a big shoe store workin' on commission for my pay.
I'd go outta control selling all them souls making big bucks everyday.
Some things have changed, I don't work there in anymore but I'm still dealing with souls.
And I still work on commission for my pay but this commission don't come from a store.

I'm workin' on commission, the great commission.
Getting folks sold out to Jesus is my new mission.
Now I don't have to touch peoples feet all day
I just send them down the straight and narrow way
to make disciples of the world is the great commission

Jesus said to make disciples wherever you go so that's exactly what we've gotta do.
It's the believer's role to be out winning souls and I ain't talking about shoes.
Yeah it's everyone's job to be a salesman for God no matter what work you do.
Cause the pastor can't do it all by himself and the Lord don't want him to.

I'm workin' on commission, the great commission.
Getting folks sold out to Jesus is my new mission.
Now I don't have to touch peoples feet all day
I just send them down the straight and narrow way
to make disciples of the world is the great commission

Well I know I'd better polish up my act before Jesus comes back by.
Cause a show horn won't be the horn being blown when He parts that eastern sky

I'm workin' on commission, the great commission.
Getting folks sold out to Jesus is my new mission.
Now I don't have to touch peoples feet all day
I just send them down the straight and narrow way
to make disciples of the world is the great commission
