The Pilgrim

I was a prisoner in a foreign land

In the wilderness of sin

Before I knew my Savior who

Would set me free through Him

I was captured by the devil's lie

That told me I was free

From the curse of sin that dwells within

My iniquity

I was a prisoner and I did not know

The danger I was in

Until my conscience kept convicting me

Of my grievous sin

I became a fool for Satan

Who deceived me with his lies

Until Jesus came to rescue me

When He heard my fervent cry

I am drowning in my sorrow LORD

Forgive me now I pray

Deliver me from bondage LORD

And set me free today

I remember when He answered me

In my dark despair

He sent His Holy Spirit down

To wipe away my tears

The pain I felt inside that day

Because of guilt and shame

Was placed upon my Savior

When I called upon His name

I am a pilgrim in this foreign land

Who cannot walk away

From all that Jesus did for me

On Calvary that day

How can I deny my God

And what He did for me

When He wrote my sins upon His heart

And nailed them to that tree

Precious Savior lead me homeward LORD

To where I long to be

In the presence of Your glory

For all eternity

I am a pilgrim on a journey

To the kingdom of my God

Who saved me from the curse of sin

And washed me in His blood

The price He paid on Calvary

For sinners such as me

Reminds me of my Father's love

For all humanity

Weary pilgrims in this foreign land

In the wilderness of sin

Only Jesus and His Father can

Restore your lives again

So call upon the name of God

While He may be found

And cast your cares upon the LORD

And lay your burdens down

Cast your cares upon the LORD

And lay your burdens down
