I Must Go East
by Lewis E. Thomas


God gave me the command to get up and go
To a people far away, folks I don't know.

"There is a need there!" God said to me
When you get there, this you will see.

My son, there may be violence on every side
But you are my messenger, no need to hide.

Though you face death my son, do not fear!
I will go with you, I'll always be near.

Speak the words that I put in your mouth
Speak them to the North, East, West, and South.

Be wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove
Reach out to everyone and give them my love.

You must get going, there's much work to do
The harvest is white, but the laborers are few.

It will be a dangerous, hard path to trod
As you train to be a soldier for God.

You are a chosen vessel of God up above
I send you to China filled with my love.




Lewis E. Thomas
As given by God on 6-15-1989

Written for a man who worked with my wife Penny
He was called to be a missionary to China.
