Lecrae is amazing when it comes to talking about missions. Two of my other favorites are:
Don’t Waste your life
Go Hard

Some others I love:
Desire–Jeremy Camp “This is my desire, to be used by You.”
Madly–Passion “Let what we do in here fill the streets out there!”

I always thought “Mission trip to Mexico” by Bunch of Believers (B.O.B.) was a perfect missions song.

I love “You Said” by Hillsong
I’m sure it’s done by others as well. It has such a great message.

You said, Ask and you will receive
Whatever you need
You said, Pray and I’ll hear from heaven
And I’ll heal your land

You said Your glory will fill the earth
Oh, Like water the seas
You said, Lift up your eyes
The harvest is here, the kingdom is near

You said, Ask and I’ll give the nations to you
O Lord, that’s the cry of my heart
Distant shores and the islands will see
Your light, as it rises on us

O Lord, we ask for the nations
O Lord, we ask for the nations
O Lord, we are asking for the nations

I really like the suggested list. I work for FollowOne International, a missions organization. We believe there is a great need for songs that move the church to glorify God in worship (vertical Jesus and me) as well as move out in mission (horizontal -extending Christ love with the Good News). Below is the Cruciform Song List we’ve started. We will select songs from this list for the worship sets at our annual Connection Conference(www.connection2010.info).

I like Treasure of Jesus by Steven Curtis Chapman.

What can I do
How can I live
To show my world
The treasure of Jesus

What will it take
What could I give
So they can know
The treasure He is

If I can sing
Let my songs be full of His Glory
If I can speak
Let my words be full of His Grace
If I should live or die
Let me be found pursuing this prize
The One that alone satisfies
The Treasure of Jesus

Waterdeep – Go

Incredible; addresses the reason for missions as well a common excuse for not going.

I am also fond of “Beautiful Feet” by Lecrae, especially if your mission in in an American or urban context (our is) so it works well.
