THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS

Image result for pilgrim's progress
His heart was once dim
Grossly dark and full of fright
Caressed by the devilish din
Helpless in his pain and plight

Then someone preached to him

Told him of the Lord of light
How when He's let in
Ends sin's might and blight

Hence in his heart glory beams

Receiving Christ's life and light
Bids farewell to the life of sin
And in His Lord finds new delight

Now a christian, now a pilgrim
With a hope that burns so bright
Of the city yet unseen
The home for the pure and upright

Trusting in the One supreme

He sets out to do what's right
But then his adventure begins
Travelling the path of the meek and contrite

Confronting foes so grim

He decides to stand and fight
With great determination deep within
To reach that land of pure delight

So walk on precious pilgrim

In the path of what is right
Against all odds, stay keen
Progressing until you alight.

But now they desire a better,that is a heavenly country.Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God,for He has prepared a city for them.
Hebrews 11:16(NKJV)
