Oh the Places Words Go
Location
Brazil, Honduras, Mozambique
Languages are so unique
By learning and trying for such a long time
I have gained the knowledge needed to speak
Across oceans I have gone; at first I was meek
When I arrived in new places I wasn't so sure
I didn't know how to speak in a new language and I slur
My words came out timid, so scared to try
To speak with new people; I thought I might die
But fret not, I had the skills
By learning to place nouns, verbs, and doing the drills
I had learned to use words in a positive way
To tell others about Christ; what a glorious day
I have to tell more; my passion is growing
For now they know the One; the all-knowing
Such a great love he is for us all
He reaches out his arms and says "come one, come all"
He gives us a tool, the written word to read
That tells us great stories that show us how to be
Christ loves you and he loves me
Give him your life and you will be full of glee
Say "Abba, Father.. it is you that I love"
He will provide plenty and give you the peace of the dove.
So come, dear friend and accept the present
Of life everlasting, in heaven, incandescent
