My heart lifts

My heart lifts

Breathing in the salt sea air

Relishing the safety of solid rock

As crashing waves

Break below

Yet the Sun is shining today

And there is a little threat

How must it have been 

for those Pilgrims long ago?

Travelling on foot

 traversing rocky paths

 Wind and rain lashing with force 

What Faith drove them on?

what devotion or love or even fear?

whatever the pull

you filled their minds

thoughts of God, of eternity

of heaven, perhaps of hell

 But you were the focus

and today we follow in their footsteps

Faith has called us here

A divine set up

And I sense your joy

 that you led us to this special place

right on the edge of the world
