My Calling



December 2014

My Calling

Beyond the barbed-wire fence,
The pasture full of green
With placid, chewing cows
‘Neath clouds all white-serene,
There is another world
Most which I’ve never known,
A world so opposite
To that in which I’ve grown.
But now my mind has glimpsed
The shadows of the other,
And now my heart inclines
With love toward foreign brothers.
The needs I’ve caught by phrase,
By picture, or suggestion
Cause me to look at Christ and say, 
“I give all with no question.”
Thou, Sovereign, know’st my path
And what Thy Great Will is
And what Thou would with “my life” do—
I give Thee all of this.
