Make a forward move for the Lord today—
Come over on the other side;
’Tis the King’s command: dare you disobey?
Come over on the other side.
Refrain
Show your colors, show your colors,
Join His army true and tried;
With the hosts of sin you will never win,
Come over on the other side!
Show your colors, show your colors,
For the King they crucified;
Jesus leads the way to eternal day;
Come over on the other side.
Take your stand for right in the battle’s van—
Come over on the other side;
It will try the steel of the bravest man—
Come over on the other side.
Refrain
Soon the light will come, soon the darkness fade,
Come over on the other side;
They will find no hope who have then delayed;
Come over on the other side.
Refrain
Make a forward move, Jesus loves you so;
Come over on the other side;
There is joy and peace that your soul should know,
Come over on the other side.
Refrain
