Missionaries For God

MISSIONARIES FOR GOD Putting their own lives in danger, In foreign lands like a stranger, They come and live and serve the Lord, In God's eyes, what a great record! Missionaries filled with His zeal, Working for God, our hearts they steal, Leaving their motherland behind, To their own needs, they become blind, God leads them in that distant land, He guides them with His own right hand, Midst trials, troubles and sorrows, He's with their unsure tomorrows, Struggling, they're still victorious, Their sacrifice is glorious, Going to ends of all the earth, They spread God's Word, His loving worth. 8 syllables per line 09.17.19

Jo, a lovely tribute to the hands and feet of the Lord. Their zeal and sacrifice are admirable traits to aspire to. And God is faithful to provide their needs. Amen to this.

Wow I thought that was awesome Jo Daniel. It really strikes at the core with such truth and feeling. And to fit all that in the eight syllable line continuously as such is awesome. Everything set so perfect, and that beautiful ,completing, last line. Awesome!

Yes in most cases they can be a blessing. Sadly in some cases that hasn’t been the case.

I can surely say that all those missionaries who came to India have been a true blessing:)
