i am the missionary

sitting with a friend,

“when will the heartache end?”

tear-stained, worn and trembled;

strengthened while assembled.

broken in the darkness,

“please, somebody help us”

friend from ‘cross the street

wash the other’s feet.

kitchen pantry bare,

“i pray someone will share”.

neighbour, pockets spilled;

giving, cupboards filled.

no need for flights and ferries,

no need to travel ‘round -

i am the missionary; 

i am the mission ground.

wait - no need to hurry;

pray the harvest yield.

you are the missionary;

you are the mission field.

burdens to be carried,

Saviour to be found.

we are the missionary;

we are the mission ground.

join us on thursdays for a little bit o' somethin' somethin'...
