From the recording Sparrow
We're living in tents. And groaning. It's tough to be a sojourner. Our choices matter, and that's why we do not lose heart. We're being renewed, day by day, moment by moment. Breathe in... breathe out. Choose wisely.
Lyrics
In this tent we groan
this is not our home
we're just a-passin' through
sojourners, me and you
in this tent we groan
waiting for our home
waiting
longing
for a house not made with hands
moment by moment we build on what was laid
the foundation whose name is Jesus Christ
now we see dimly but when it's face to face
how will we answer for our lives
for we walk by faith not by sight
This is not our home
our lives are but a breath
it will all pass away
so every single day
we can choose to build with gold
or choose to build with hay
hay will burn
but gold will remain
So we do not lose heart
though outwardly wasting away
so we do not lose heart
we're being renewed day by day
and this slight, momentary affliction
is preparing for us
an eternal weight of glory
beyond compare
2 Corinthians 4:16-5:9
