Remain In Your Place

If you're discontented and unhappy
And your place and purpose grow dim,
There is always a ship at Joppa
If you don't want to stay and win.

If you turn from the task of the present
To follow a beckoning star,
There is always a ship at Joppa
To take you from where you are.

But you'll miss the blessing He gives you
If you wander away from His place;
For there's a fare to be paid at Joppa
If you do not remain in your place.
