Last
night I took a journey
To a Land across the seas;
I did not go by boat or plane,
I traveled on my knees. I saw so many people there
In deepest depths of sin,
But Jesus told me I should go,
That there was souls to win.
But I said, "Jesus, I cannot go
And word 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 field.
I said, "Yes, Lord, I have a job,
My desire Thy will to please;
I can go and heed Thy call
By traveling on knees."
