Pilgrim

I am a pilgrim here

I am simply passing through

I wonder why I don’t belong

I don’t fit, no matter what I do

And I realize

It is not a surprise

Cause I am a pilgrim here

I am just passing through

This world is not my home

I am yearning for You

I am longing

My heart is searching

For the reality of my home

Nothing can compare

To knowing I belong

I can’t wait to be there

Cause I feel the hurting

My heart is throbbing

I am not made for this earth

I am simply passing through

I am created for eternity

I am made to be with You

I need the grace

To seek your face

To look forward to my home

I know that through the bitterness

You will bring forth springs

And wash away my loneliness

So in all I do

I look to you

You will be my strength

And give me autumn rain

You will bring forth pools

And carry me through my pain
