Pilgrim



No condemnation,
no fear, nor shame,
when Spirit arises,
love takes the reign.

I am a pilgrim,
wandered afar,
lands-- west and east-- arid and dry.
Mercy upholds me to rise up and stand,
in storms, takes me by the hand,
guards my feet from sinking sand,
comforts my soul when tired and tried,
my walk restores-- I am heaven- bound.
