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; I 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.”
