Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #793 (1995) Meter: 7.8.7.7 with refrain Lyrics: 1 When we lift our pack and go,
when we seek another country,
moving far from all we know,
when we long to journey free -
Refrain:
God is in the other place,
God is in another's face,
in the faith we travel by,
God is in the other place.
2 Through the loneliness of night,
through the sky's uncharted spaces
not a sparrow falls in flight
but a loving God will care - [Refrain]
3 Sons and daughter must depart,
friends will go on other journeys,
only constant is the heart
that an trust its God to be - [Refrain]
4 In the hands outstretched to greet,
through the open doors of strangers
there is love we yet can meet
and believe the Christ is there - [Refrain] Topics: Journey; God--Presence of; Journey; Parting; Travelers; Trust and Confidence Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-19 Languages: English Tune Title: LEONARD
