For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.
1 Chronicles 29:15

Home

We are but sojourners here,
living amongst you
but passing through,
putting our hands to the wheel
yet waiting, always waiting,
learning to live, to feel,
to grow in grace and understanding,
to sweat and toil,
inhabit for a time,
aware for now of mortal coil,
but longing for the call sublime
and faces turned for home.

Sojourners in transit,
eyes fixed on elsewhere.
