In my last post I mentioned a favorite anthem – The Journey Is Our Home – with words by Nancy Hollis Dillard and Allen Pote – music by Allen Pote*.  This text is one that I often use when someone asks about what I believe – another is a hymn text by Fred Kaan that will be the subject of my next post.

Awake, arise, the journey’s begun.  We travel on together as one.  We know not where the road will lead, but we move in faith making love our creed as we follow; The journey is our home.

Good travelers walk with company, sharing bread with those in need.  Giving help along the way to those who fall who wander astray as we follow; the journey is our home.

Join with us in jubilee.  Celebrate God’s family.  Sing together joyfully.  Alleluia!  Praise for evermore!

God moves with us as we go.  He hears our cry, our pain He knows.  Yet far beyond the setting sun, there shines a light of a victory won; The journey is our home.
