Appears on: She Must and Shall Go Free
Lyrics:
Go in peace to love and to serve
Let your ears ring long with what you have heard
May the bread on your tongue
Leave a trail of crumbs
To lead the hungry back to the place that you are from
[Chorus]
And take to the world this love, this hope and faith
Take to the world this rare, relentless grace
And like the three in one
Know you must become what you want to save
‘Cause that’s still the way
He takes to the world
Go, and go far
Take light deep in the dark
Believe what’s true
He uses all, even you
May the bread on your tongue leave a trail of crumbs
To lead the hungry back to the place you are from
[Chorus x2]

Derek on the song:
Aaron Tate referred to this as his last song…When Caedmon’s decided not to put it on the record (Back Home), I asked Aaron if I could use it, and he was kind enough to let me do so.
Trivia: Dan Haseltine [of Jars of Clay] sang the second verse on the record version, but the radio version had to be re-cut with Derek singing the second verse.
