Traveling On My Knees

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

As I prayed on, I saw souls saved
And twisted persons healed,
I saw God's workers strength renewed
While laboring in the field.

I said, "Yes Lord, I'll take the job.
Your heart I want to please.I'll heed Your call and swiftly go
By traveling on my knees."

Father, I stand to agree with Paul the Apostle as he prays for the church.

14.For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
15.Of Whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 
16.That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; 
17.That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 
18.May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 
19.And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. 
20.Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 
21.Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 3:14-21 (kjv)
