Fred Hammond's 'Go (A Young Minister's Affirmation)' is a gospel song about answering God's call to ministry despite fear and doubt. The narrator recalls feeling unqualified and hesitant, but God reassures him of His presence and purpose. The song emphasizes obedience, courage, and the urgency of sharing the gospel, as lives depend on believers going forth. It encourages listeners to trust God's commissioning and to step out in faith, knowing that He has chosen them and will be with them. The message is both personal and universal, calling all believers to embrace their mission.

I never thought I'd be the one
Everyone around me said
That I'd never make it
Evidently You saw something else
That I could not see
When You asked me to go
I said, Lord, please don't send me
'Cause doubt filled my mind continually
'Til I head You say, 'til I heard you say
Go and know I've sent you
Know that you've been chosen
Yes, I need your voice
Know that I am with you
There's someone who will live
And not die only if you go
You gave me Your armor
I knelt down and You increased my faith
Then came time for battle
I prepared to leave then I heard You say
There would be times I would feel alone
Like You never called me
Like I went on my own
"In that day just stand and look to the hills
And you will hear Me say"
Go and know I've sent you
(Sent you)
Know that you've been chosen
Yes, I need your voice
(Yeah)
Know that I am with you
There's someone who will live
And not die only if you go
Go and know I've sent you
(You got to go)
(You got to know)
Know that you've been chosen
(Know that you've been chosen)
Yes, I need your voice
Know that I am with you
(Know, there's someone)
There's someone who will live
And not die only if you go
(You have got to live)
How can we live if they don't know
They don't know
How can we live if you don't go
You've got to go, go
Go and know I've sent you
(You've got to go)
Know that you've been chosen
Yes, I need your voice
(Know that you've been chosen)
Know that I am with you
There's someone who will live
(There's someone who will live)
And not die only if you go
(And not die)
Tell them I died
Comple them to go
Tell them I love them
Each and every one
Go and know I've sent you
Know that you've been chosen
(Know that you've been chosen)
Yes, I need your voice
Know that I am with you
(There's some, there's some)
There's someone who will live
(There's someone who will live)
And not die only if you go
You will tell them
And please don't delay
Go and tell them
Tell them today
Go and know I've sent you
(Sent you)
Know that you've been chosen
Yes, I need your voice
(Know that you've been chosen)
Know that I am with you
(There's some, there's someone)
There's someone who will live
(Who will live and not die)
And not die only if you go
