Away to a foreign land
God called you to go,
to minister to precious souls
in darkness, sin and woe,
a vision to your heart
God sent a man of ebony,
God's Church is now in Ghana,
where souls can be set free.
The tears, the prayers, the labors,
you gave the Lord your all,
when days were dark you'd hear Him say
be faithful to your call.
You gave God's precious Word to them,
His love on them bestowed,
you've finished your course now,
you've paid the debt you owed.
The memory of your spirit lives,
we'll never forget your smile.
You consecrated your life,
you proved you are His child.
The Love you shared in Ghana and in your homeland too,
we thank God for your works of Love
and we'll always remember You.
