\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Homesteaders we are not, for our home is yet to be seen<\/h6>\n
We live among these citizens until we see our King<\/h6>\n
Only guests in this foreign place\u2026<\/h6>\n
Living in a manner to honor Him, while making haste\u2026<\/h6>\n
To dream and build and occupy for we wish to make no waste\u2026<\/h6>\n
To sing and dance and write His words upon the comelings hearts<\/h6>\n
Knowing that we are sojourners<\/em> here, and here, is where we start\u2026<\/h6>\n
Sowing seeds and planting fields<\/h6>\n
Walking beside still waters\u2026<\/h6>\n
The beauty here cannot compare to what we\u2019ll have, when we get there\u2026<\/h6>\n
So plow and sweat and play and sleep beneath these wondrous stars\u2026<\/h6>\n
Teach your children how to pray and reach beyond the bars\u2026<\/h6>\n
For we are no longer prisoners of the Evil-War-Lord<\/em>, here on earth<\/h6>\n
Ours is of a nobler land; not built by human hands<\/h6>\n
Sojourners,<\/em> our homes not built on sinking sand\u2026<\/h6>\n
But built by He, who has prepared, our Promise Land<\/em>\u2026<\/h6>\n
We need not wonder\u2026it\u2019s by faith we take our stand\u2026<\/h6>\n
Knowing there are those who await our arrival,<\/h6>\n
But until then~<\/h6>\n
We are sojourners<\/em> in a foreign land.<\/h6>\n

Living Before the World<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
