 The Difference
I got up early one morning
and rushed right into
the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
that I didn't have time to
pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why
doesn't God help me?" I wondered,
He answered," You didn't ask".
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on gray and
bleak;
I wondered why didn't God show me,
He said," But you didn't
seek".
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the
lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
" My child, you didn't
knock".
I woke up early one morning,
and paused before entering the
day;
I had so much to accomplish,
that I had to take time to
pray.

Traveling On Your 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; knelt in prayer,
Gave up some hours of ease,
And
with the 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."
