TRAVELING ON MY KNEES

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 were souls to win.

But I said, "Jesus, I cannot go
And work with such as these."
He answered, "Yes, you can
By traveling on your knees."

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 the call
By traveling on my knees.

IF I COULD NEVER TALK TO GOD

I often wonder what I'd do if I could never pray,
If I could not depend on God to guide me every day,
And oh how dark the night would be if His light did not shine,
I could not sleep because such fear would fill this heart of mine,
My heart would never sing a song, I'd feel so alone,
If I could never talk to God and claim Him for my own.

But all these things I need not fear, my burdens H e doth share.
I only have to whisper low, He heareth every prayer.
Thus He always walks beside me He never lets me fall,
He gently takes me by the hand, My love the God of all.
And though the night around be dark, His light will ever shine.
I sleep in peace and need not fear since I know that He is mine.
