FISHER OF MEN
by Joshua Pauls
(based on Wilfred Grenfell's biography)
Wilfred Grenfell was once a little English boy;
He was always exploring and for some reason that gave him much joy.
When he grew up he loved to work on ships;
He even became a doctor and could now operate on people's hips.
He decided to become a missionary, and a very strange one to;
Because he would ride on ships and help people that should see a doctor with injuries overdue.
Wilfred would also be a missionary in Labrador doctoring Eskimos free of charge;
Handing out clothing to people who needed help from Wilfred and his barge.
Once or twice he got stranded with sled dogs on the ice;
He almost died out there for people who needed something to suffice.
He helped many needy people who might not have made it thorught the night;
He gave his life towards them and did it with all his might.
He died knowing that he had helped people who might not have come to know Jesus otherwise;
He reached out to any need he found, be it any size.
