Lyrics
I am a poor pilgrim of sorrow
I identify as a destitute traveler burdened by sorrow
Cast out in this wide world to roam
Exiled in this vast world, wandering aimlessly
My brothers and sisters won't own me
My siblings refuse to acknowledge me
They say that I'm weak and I'm poor
They assert that I lack strength and material wealth
But Jesus father the almighty
However, Jesus, the omnipotent father, has invited me to enter
Has bade me to enter the door
The door symbolizes a spiritual or divine passage
Sometimes I'm almost driven
At times, I feel compelled to the point of not knowing where to go
'Til I know not where to roam
Uncertain and lost in my journey
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've heard of a heavenly place referred to as Heaven
I've started to make it my home
I've decided to make it my spiritual dwelling
When friends and relations forsake me
When friends and family abandon me
And troubles grow 'round me so high
And challenges surround me extensively
I think of the kind words of Jesus
I reflect on the compassionate words of Jesus
Poor pilgrim I always am nigh
As a poor pilgrim, I am always close to Jesus
Sometimes I'm almost driven
Similar situations push me to the brink of despair
'Til I know not where to roam
Not knowing where to turn or what path to take
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've heard of a celestial place named Heaven
I've started to make it my home
I've initiated the process of considering it my abode
Oh soon I shall reach the bright glory
Soon, I anticipate reaching the radiant glory
Where mortals no more do complain
Where mortal beings no longer express grievances
The ship that will take me is coming
A symbolic ship is approaching to transport me
The captain is calling my name
The captain is calling my name, signaling my departure
Sometimes I'm almost driven
Again, I find myself on the verge of being overwhelmed
'Til I know not where to roam
Lost and uncertain about my path
I've heard of a city called Heaven
I've heard of a heavenly city, Heaven
I've started to make it my home
I've begun the process of considering it my home
I've heard of a city called heaven
I've heard of a celestial city, Heaven
I've started to make it my home
I've initiated the process of considering it my home
