This Is Home

I've got my memories
They're always
Inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I've seen too much
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known

Chorus:
This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home

Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone

(Chorus)

And now after all
My searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I'm gonna call it home

(Chorus)

Now I know
Yeah, this is home

I've come too far
Now I won't go back
This is home

Enya - Pilgrim Lyrics

Pilgrim, how you journey
On the road you chose
To find out where the winds die
And where the stories go.
All days come from one day
That must you must know,
You cannot change what's over
But only where you go.

One way leads to diamonds,
One way leads to gold,
Another leads you only
To everything you're told.
In your heart you wonder
Which of these is true;
The road that leads to nowhere,
the road that leads to you.

Will you find the answer
in all you say and do?
Will you find the answer
In you?

Each heart is a pilgrim,
Each one wants to know
The reason why the winds die
And where the stories go.
Pilgrim, in your journey
You may travel far,
For pilgrim it's a long way
To find out who you are...

Pilgrim, it's a long way
To find out who you are...

Pilgrim, it's a long way
To find out who you are...

Or, for you LOTR Fans, here's this version:

	"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." --C.S. Lewis, "Mere Christianity"         bluegrass, i am a pilgrim 2 comments   I Am A Pilgrim
	I am a pilgrim and a stranger    Traveling through this wearisome land    And I've got a home in that yonder city, good Lord    And it's not (good Lordy it's not) not made by hand...   As I go down to that river Jordan Just to bathe my weary soul If I could touch but just the hem of His garment, good Lord I believe (good Lordy I believe) that it would make me whole Now when I'm dead, laying in my coffin All of my friends all gather round They can say that he's just laying there sleeping, good Lord Sweet peace (Lordy sweet peace) his soul is found

This old bluegrass song came to mind this morning as I was thinking about Pilgrimage as a Way of Life as I wait for my copy of our friend Jim Forest's book, Road to Emmaus: Pilgrimage as a Way of Life to arrive in the mail. Can't wait to see and read it!

Grasping Paradise

O, my life!

My acute pilgrim life –

A desperate grasp at paradise,

One bold splash of color flung as hope,

Crying against loud distractions

Come upon churning gray

Skies.

Or, if one prefers to hear Johnny Cash, June Carter & Pete Seeger pick and sing rather than the Bluegrass folks above, here goes:

"Religion points to that area of human experience where

in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage".

~ Frederick Buechner
