As pilgrims we are walking, walking to a promised day; we struggle with our baggage, with temptation's call to stay. We find the journey tiring and confusing in demand; we long for safer travel, charts and maps of promised land. As pilgrims we are talking, talking with our family here; we struggle with our language, and the changes that we fear. We find the journey frees us from the strictures of the past; we seek new understandings and community to last. As pilgrims we are feeding, feeding on the bread God gives; our journey is an answer to the good news that Christ lives. Our service to each other is the gift that makes us free; our struggling for God's promise determines what we'll be. As pilgrims we are singing, singing praises on the way; from worship comes direction and the shape of each new day. God's earth made new is promised, with justice flowing strong; there's courage for our walking and for overthrowing wrong. As pilgrims we are seeking, seeking grace from you our God; we need to know your presence, guide us with Christ's shepherd rod. Give us strength to serve you truly as we move from place to place; let us journey on as pilgrims while relying on your grace.
