The Missionary Song

* The Missionary Song (or The Traveler's Song)
The earth is my Father's
And where're I am,
I know that I dwell
In the palm of His hand.
No matter how far
This wide earth I roam,
I rest in His keeping
And know I am home.
Though demon or devil
Dare challenge me sore,
I flee to my Father,
Press in to Him more.
Though enemy mortal
Or spirit I face,
HIS wing covers me,
I'm safe by HIS grace.
No minion from hell
Need my heart e'er fear--
Whenever I call,
My FATHER is near.
In sweet land of Freedom
Or warfare and strife,
My heart is at rest,
For HE guards my life.
The earth is my FATHER'S
And where're I be,
I know I'm at home--
HE lives here with me.
* This was written in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1985
