Pilgrim Heart
Hebrews 11:8 says
By faith, Abraham when called, obeyed
To go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance
And he set out not knowing where he was going
By faith, he lived as a foreigner in the promised land
As in a strange land
Living in tents with Isaac and Jacob
Fellow heirs of the same promise
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations
Whose architect and builder is God
The Lord is raising up a generation
Of men and women, pilgrims
Who hold all things lightly
To let go at any moment
Not attached to houses, cars, horses
They only want to obey the Lord
And seek the heavenly homeland
The Lord is looking in this time
For men and women willing to leave everything
To fulfill the mission, without looking back
One of the signs of the end times
Are men and women who do not believe in sound doctrine
Because they seek for themselves teachers who will say
What they want to hear
Mercy! May the Lord find in us
People who love sound doctrine
Because Christ came in the flesh
In everything we are afflicted, but not crushed
Perplexed, but not in despair
Persecuted, but not abandoned
Struck down, but not destroyed
Always carrying in our body the death of Jesus
So that his life may also be revealed in our body
For we who are alive are always being given over to death
For Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body
May we be pilgrims, afflicted, persecuted
May this be a reason for joy for us
To do the will of Christ and not of men
Jesus, here we are! We want to do your will
To pitch and strike our tents
Wherever you send us, Jesus
We are willing to abandon everything, Jesus
We don't want loves, we don't want possessions
We don't want anything that takes our eyes off you
This is the generation that loves you, Jesus
We want to fulfill the great commission
Go out there, to the nations, preach the gospel
And make disciples, baptize in the name of the Father
Of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
We love you Jesus
(Oh, ooh, ooh)
Not thousands of years
We are following the lamb
Following the lamb
Following the lamb
The man who conquered death
The son obedient to the father
We are following
The man who conquered death
The son obedient to the father
We are following
(Oh, ooh, ooh)
