The Pilgrim's Progress
by BenjaminU Anabaraonye © 2009

His heart was once dim
Grossly dark and full of fright
"Caressed" by the devilish din
Helpless in his pain and plight

Then someone preached to him
Told him of the Lord of light
How when He's let in
Ends sin's might and blight

Hence in his heart glory beams
Receiving Christ's life and light
Bids farewell to the life of sin
And in His Lord finds new delight

Now a christian, now a pilgrim
With a hope that burns so bright
Of the city yet unseen
The home for the pure and upright

Trusting in the One supreme
He sets out to do what's right
But then his adventure begins
Travelling the path of the meek and contrite

Confronting foes so grim
He decides to stand and fight
With great determination deep within
To reach that land of pure delight

So walk on precious pilgrim
In the path of what is right
Against all odds, stay keen
Progressing until you alight
