I'm Just a Pilgrim


I'm just a pilgrim,

Not wishing any harm,

Seeking peace to soon come.

Been in trouble with Satan

Since the day Jesus came.


To be ever cleansed

In God's brand-new world,

Someday my King will surely come,

My sins will be gone.


The King will rise,

And so will others

To Eternity's verdicts.

Many may be surprised.


I'm sure a turtle,

And ain't older than dirt,

But the Lake won't get me

For eternity.


I'm just God's servant,

Seeking always His plan

For me when I can.

Been in trouble with Satan

Since my heart did God claim.


What a menagerie of souls

There will be dancing in Heaven's Aisles

Belonging to those who heeded God's calls

And obeyed His laws that made them all eternally whole.


I'm just a pilgrim,

Not wishing any harm,

Seeking peace to soon come.

Been in trouble with Satan

Since the day my Lord came.
