As We Traverse the Landscapes by Olatubosun David

Like travellers, 

We cross this arid land

Aiming at the city of rest.

As we traverse the landscapes 

We may, of a truth, sully our feet

With besetting dust of sin

But we must from time to time

Remember Calvary, the place of cleansing 

Where mercy flows immeasurably 

We go through marketplaces 

Let's be pleased with divine supplies 

Lest we are tangled with vanities of life 

We faint many a time 

But we are resuscitated; we move on

We despair not

We shall win!

We are soldiers in the warfare

Let’s fight, holding onto the cross
