TRAVELLING ON MY KNEES
  Last night I took a journey
to a land across the seas;
I did not go by boat or plane
I travelled on my knees.

I saw so many people there
in the deepest depths of sin,
but Jesus told me I should go,
that there were souls to win.

I said, "Jesus, I cannot go
and work with such as these."
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 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 travelling on my knees.

As I prayed on, I saw souls saved,
twisted bodies healed.
And saw God’s workers’ strength renewed
while labouring 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!"

(Lidia Grundlingh)
