Today I close one door...
To open another.
I don't know everything I'll find...
But I do know...
Who's walking ahead of me.
Today I packed my clothes
and all my dreams
I hugged my mother
just like when I was young
My father looked at me
without saying a word
Because he knows this journey
will change my heart forever
My friends will carry on
with the lives they always knew
Maybe when I come back
everything will be different
But there's a voice
that's calling me to serve
And no fear
is greater than moving forward
This is not goodbye...
It's only see you later...
Because when Christ is calling
I want to answer.
Today my calling begins
Two years to love
Two years to serve
Two years to teach
Maybe when I come home
Many things will have changed
But if one soul comes to know Christ
Every step will have been worth it.
I'll sleep in places
I've never seen before
I'll speak with people
whose names I don't yet know
Some will say no
Others will open the door
And someone will be waiting
For the answer they've been praying for
I'll miss my home
Birthdays too
But I know with every step
Christ will walk beside me, amen.
I'm not carrying riches
I'm not carrying power
I'm carrying a message
That can give new life
If one family smiles
Because they found the truth
Then I'll finally understand
What it truly means to love
Today my calling begins
I'm not looking back
Because serving Jesus Christ
Is the greatest gift He has given me
When I return home
I won't be the same
I'll come back with a heart
That has learned how to love
Today I leave as a missionary...
And I will return...
As a better disciple of Christ.
