Traveling On My Knees

Last night I took a journey

to a land across the seas.
I didn't go by ship or plane,

I traveled on my knees.
I saw so many people there in bondage to their sin,
And Jesus told me I should go,

that there were souls to win.
But I said "Jesus,

I can't go to lands across the seas."
He answered quickly,

"Yes, you can by traveling on your knees."
He said, "You pray,

I'll meet the need.

You call, and I will hear.
It's up to you to be concerned for lost souls far and near."
And so I did; knelt in prayer,

gave up some hours of ease,
And with the Savior by my side,
I traveled on my knees.

As I prayed on, I saw souls saved
And twisted persons healed,

I saw God's workers strength renewed
While laboring in the field.

I said, "Yes Lord, I'll take the job.
Your heart I want to please.

I'll heed Your call and swiftly go
By traveling on my knees."
