The Missionaries

The missionaries

away from their homes
sacrifice so much
to teach something so precious
sacrifice so much
to face persecution
sacrifice so much
to serve the Lord
The missionaries

with the little black name tags
love so much
they give up thier time
love so much
they make new friends
love so much
the church they're in
The missionaries

with the bright dispositions
are happy
to serve others
are happy
to have people invite them in
are happy
to be doing something worthwhile
The missionaries

also face hard times
it's hard when
they get a door slammed in their face
it's hard when
they get a cold shoulder
it's hard when
they don't find people to teach
I love the missionaries
they teach me so much
It's good to sacrifice-
for worthwhile things
It's good to love-
everyone

It's good to be happy-

about every blessing
It's good to face hard times-
that's how we learn
I will always respect
the missionaries
