I Love You Coffee
  • Travelling on My Knees

    Last night I took a journey, far across the seas;
    I did not go by boat or plane; I traveled on my knees.
    I saw the precious people there, with scars and wounds within,
    But God told me I should go; there was oil to pour for Him.
    I said, “Lord, I cannot go and work with such as those.”
    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 the fate 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 them helped, the badly wounded healed.
    I 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 travelling on my knees.
