Travel on Your Knees

Last night I took a journey
To a land far “cross the seas;
I didn’t go by boat or plane,
I trusted on my knees.

I saw so many people there
In deepest depths of sin,
And Jesus told me I should go
That there were souls to win.

But I said, “Jesus, I can’t go
And work with such as these.’
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;
Be concerned about lost souls,
Of those both far and near.’

And so I tried it, knelt in prayer,
Gave up some hours of ease;
I felt the Lord right by my side
While traveling on my knees.

As I prayed on and saw souls saved
And twisted bodies healed,
And saw God’s workers? strength renewed
While laboring on the filed.

I said, “Yes, Lord, I have a job
My desire Thy will to please;
I can go and heed Thy call
By traveling on my knees.’
