TRAVELER


Oh, come now, weary traveler,
and rest thy aching feet.
Beneath this spreading canopy
find respite from the heat.

Oh traveler, thy path is hard,
a heavy load ye bear.
Come! Shed thy burden from thy back,
beneath the Heaven's fair.

Oh, come now, weary traveler,
and ease thy worried mind.
Release thy tensions and thy stress,
yea, leave them far behind!

Unfettered, let thy thoughts fly free
to grand and lofty heights,
and dare to dream thy deepest dreams
throughout the shimm'ring nights.

Oh, come now, weary traveler,
encumbered by despair,
and ease thy battered soul within
the comfort and the care

that fills the very air around
and saturates the land!
Find healing in the awesome touch
of God's almighty hand!

Yea, traveler, thy road is long,
the end is nowhere near.
Yet when ye leave, remember well
the healing ye found here!
