about

Dave Canfield has been a great help to many bands at the Jesus People USA community, and he blessed us with the beginnings of this song. As mentioned in the notes for “Mitt Hjerte,” people often go to the holy lands in hopes of revitalizing their spiritual lives. For many, this is a great opportunity, and the pilgrimage may bear good fruit. For those who may feel they are “missing” something by not going—look into your heart and soul; here you can meet the Lord, here His “tender mercies” are renewed every morning. And we are called—to the stable, to the dusty roads of Galilee, to the cross, to the path set before each of us by Him.

lyrics

I came here so ragged, I followed truth’s star; a chorus of angels has led me thus far.
I came as a beggar at the feet of a Babe; just one more debtor who never can pay

I am no ancient, no shepherd, no king. I have no gold, no gift do I bring.
I’m only a man here who’s remembering when this lowly stable held court to a King

I came seeking wisdom—nearly missing great grace! The hope of all ages lingers still in this place.
The wind carries whispers of cries from that night, when all those who sought Him found joy in His light.

We’ve travelled this path for two thousand years with dreams, hope, and longing,
with sorrow and tears. Now on this bright morning we’re called to carry on to the cross where we start our own journey home

He is the Ancient of Days, the true King. He came bearing gifts: God’s love did He bring.
He calls to us softly—this Babe, eternal Word; the Lion of Judah, our Savior and Lord.
