The Sojourner

Cross’s narrow road
Arms stretched out in love
To the sojourner
Beckons, calls, knocks
Friendship’s footprints
On the path’s inscription
Hand in hand
Love’s grasp tight
Storms splash in momentary might
Cross’s narrow road
The Rock
Justice, mercy, and grace
Beckons, calls, knocks
The sojourner
Heaven’s expanse stretched out before thee
The unknown yet to be
Cross’s narrow road
The sojourner
Mountains, valleys, deserts, wilderness
Hand in hand
With Eternity’s heartbeat
