Analysis of Robert Moffat Missions
He has come from the Glen
To a fearsome place
It is dry and raw
Giving ostrich space.
And he made his camp
With the family sweet.
For a tribe to meet.
They are warriors cruel
And they love to fight
Will his Gospel gold
Move them toward the right.
And will charity
Take a throne in hearts.
And will Jesus' rule
Get this chance to start.
