Strangers And Exiles

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are a bird upon the wind,

A mist across the sea.

We’re here for only a small time

And then we cease to be.

 

We’re called to live within Your plan,

To walk within Your light.

We’re called to give love, in Your name,

And stand by what is right.

 

Yet, in this life we must recall

That we’re just passing though.

Our home is not here on this earth,

But in heaven with You.

 

Much like the prophets of long past,

Who trusted without proof,

We know that You came here for us

And we trust in that truth!

 

Hebrews 11:13-14

These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
