Singing the Praises of the Lord!

A Blessed Feast Day of St. Francis to all!

In honor of the Troubadour of the Lord, St Francis, who continually sang the praises of his Lord in joyful charity, we give you this song on his Feast Day. Let us make our pilgrimage together on the Road to Zion as we journey towards the dwelling of our King!

Lyrics:

I am a pilgrim in a bitter valley

But as I travel, my spirit sings

‘Cause in my heart is the road to Zion

So this poor valley becomes a place of springs

Refrain:

Come, let us climb the mountain of the Lord

Lift up your voices and we’ll sing

Strength grows within us as we walk toward heaven’s door

Longing for the dwelling of the King

Even the sparrow has found a home there

Beside Your altar, she joys to be

Lord, You said I am worth more than sparrows

And so I hope you’ve saved a place for me

(Refrain)

So as I travel this road to Zion

I will not wander to either side

I’d rather live on the Lord’s front doorstep

Than in a mansion where He does not abide

(Refrain)
