"The Chance"

The Lord has always led me to go
Away from my family and country to serve
Him in a way that is still unclear to me.
Could it be simply as a member
Of a community, church and family --
As I have always served Him?

Is it worth the chance to go and see
If this connection is actually His plan?
The probability is very small, it seems.
However, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
Can I risk everything for one chance
To follow Him?  Is it worth the risk?

I think that this is the path
The Lord would like me to take.
Long ago, I promised I would give up
Everything for His sake.
The first step is always the hardest,
But I will take the chance for Him
And for a home, a family, and love as well.
