Walking With God

To walk away from a life I've known

The crafts and skills I call my own

Thoughts of missions make a spirit groan

Return for a harvest the seed was sown

This quest for God is it mine alone?

But in the Word they were sent in pairs

Going to the world to share its cares

And so to God if this witness bears

The need for one who this call shares

To walk among the poor if one so dares

If this obsession has become a desire

And so placed in a heart by holy fire

If to walk alone is whats to transpire

And a need for a companion not so dire

I pray that in this work I never tire

So granted this walk is to be my path

Sanctify me keeping me free from wrath

I've counted the cost and done the math

Ignoring ones who doubt those who laugh

and knowing in God's glory is my bath

So this is my prayer; this is my plea

And printed out boldly for all to see

Without concern for those who disagree

And its not about you and not about me

I serve the Master who hung on a tree
