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 were souls to win.

But I said, 'Jesus, I cannot go and work 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 my knees.'
