Travelling on my knees

Travelling On My Knees
author unknown

Last night I took a journey
to a land across the seas;
I did not go by boat or plane,
I travelled on my knees

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

But I said," Jesus, I cannot go
And work with such as these."
He answered quickly," Yes, you can
By travelling 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, knelt in prayer,
Gave up some hours of ease;
I felt the Lord right by my side
While travelling on my knees.

As I prayed on and saw souls saved
And twisted bodies healed,
And saw God's workers' strength renewed
While labouring on the field.

I said, Yes, Lord, I have a job,
My desire Thy Will to please;
I can go and heed Thy call
By travelling on my knees."
