A Journey Long

I am a pilgrim, I am a stranger

Travelling to an unseen home above

In this strange land I have known danger

But then again, and again I have known love

I am an alien on a long quest

To be set apart is my pursuit

Though I get weary I am so blessed

partaking of that righteous root

I am on a journey long

As I walk it’s with a song

If I go right. I’ll not go wrong

Travelling on this journey long

I’m a sojourner on a pilgrim way

Traveling through this desperate land

The path gets narrower by the day

But I’m upheld by God’s right hand.

I will grow weary if I wander

Off of God’s appointed course

If I set might sights over yonder

It leads me on to heaven’s source

I am on a journey long

As I walk it’s with a song

If I go right. I’ll not go wrong

Travelling on this journey long

So I will tread his path of peace

For I know I am never alone

This wayfaring will not cease

Till I stand before heaven’s throne
