Travelling on my knees
Author Unknown

Last night I took a journey,
To a land across the seas,
I didn't go by ship or plane
I travelled 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 travelling 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 Saviour by my side
I travelled on my knees.

As I prayed I "saw" souls saved
And many sick folk healed

I saw God's workers' strength renewed
While labouring in the field.

I said "Yes, Lord I'll keep this job,
Your heart I want to please
I'll heed your call, and swiftly go,
By travelling on my knees."

 

 THE WORLD IS MINE
Author Unknown

Today upon a bus I saw a lovely girl with golden hair.
I envied her; she seemed so gay - I wished I were as fair.
She had one leg, and wore a crutch - and as she passed- a smile.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two legs, the World is Mine.

And then I stopped to buy some sweets, the lad who sold them had such charm,
I talked to him - he seemed so glad - if I were late 'twould do no harm,
And as I left he said to me: "I thank you, you have been so kind,
It's nice to talk with folks like you, you see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two eyes, the World is Mine.

Later, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue,
He stood and watched the others play, it seemed he knew not what to do.
I stopped a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I have two ears, the World is Mine.

With legs to take me where I go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow,
With ears to hear what I should know...
Oh God, forgive me when I whine,
I'm blessed indeed. The World is Mine.
