We are a pilgrim people, forever moving on

We are a pilgrim people, forever moving on,
each day a new creation, each dawn a brand new song.
And when our hearts are rooted into one place and time,
we lose God's moving Spirit, that singing, dancing rhyme.

The Hebrews came from Egypt, each turn along the way
another revelation, another dawning day;
and through this God would teach them to always travel light,
to trust grace for the future, to calm them or excite.


Verses 3-4 follows

Tune: THORNBURY
