As a boy I asked God for a bike one day,
But
I knew God didn’t work that way
So
I decided to steal a bike and then
There is a famous quote about God
Not giving you more than you can handle
Well there are times that I just wish
Let God within your heart
Fill the void of darkness
Fill it with love and joy
Let his love envelope your being
Let him bring light
Where darkness once dwelt
Let him bring love
Where hate once ruled
Let him bring happiness
Where sadness held dominion

All her life Englishwoman Gladys Aylward
(Ingrid Bergman) knew that China was the place where she belonged, and that God
wanted her to be there.
Gladys was a domestic servant and was bluntly
told that she was not qualified to be sent there as a missionary, so she worked
hard to earn the money to send herself to a poor, remote village where elderly
Missionary Jeannie Lawson (Athene Seyler) was turning the Mission into an Inn.
Gladys slowly adapts to life at the Mission
but when Lawson dies after a fall, Gladys finds herself in charge with only the
Missions’ servant, Yang (Peter Chong), to support her.
Over time she makes a success of the Inn and
even gains the confidence of the Mandarin of Yang Cheng (Robert Donat), the
common people and even a representative of the Government, Capt. Lin Nan (Curt
Jurgens), but when the Japanese invade China, she and local man Li (Burt
Kwouk) set off to escort 100 orphaned children to safety.
Richard Wattis, Ronald Squire and Moultrie
Kelsall also feature in this thoroughly enjoyable film which everyone can

tell anyone

To have a family
A caring network

To have with me
A circle of friends,
Who are like family
I am so blessed
To have in every way
God in my life
Each and every day
