As We Traverse the Landscapes

Like travellers, 
We cross this arid land
Aiming at the city of rest.

As we traverse the landscapes 
We may, of a truth, sully our feet
With besetting dust of sin

But we must from time to time
Remember Calvary, the place of cleansing 
Where mercy flows immeasurably 

We go through marketplaces 
Let’s be pleased with divine supplies 
Lest we are tangled with vanities of life 

We faint many a time 
But we are resuscitated; we move on
We despair not. 

We shall win!
We are soldiers in the warfare
Let’s fight, holding onto the cross
