PILGRIM AM I

"I have been a stranger in a strange land." Bible, Exodus 2:22

Ushered by God to abide in His light
My steps keep walking along what is right
While I journey toward eternal place
As blessed stranger in a foreign land.
 	
Endowed with new creation’s holy might
My faith soars upward great reaching-out height
Propelled by the Lord to share love and grace
As blessed stranger in a foreign land.

Looking forward to living with delight
Glorious paradise of wonderful sight
I long for blissful everlasting ways
As blessed stranger in a foreign land.

Here on earth, my heart pleads for heaven’s rays
As blessed stranger in a foreign land.
