The Road to Zion

[Bradley D]

I believe to way to Christ is within us!

Song;

The Road to Zion

There is a way that leads to life
The few that find it never die
Past mountain peaks graced white with snow
The way grows brighter as it goes
There is a road inside of you
Inside of me there is one too
No stumbling pilgrim in the dark
The road to Zion's in your heart
The road to Zion's in your heart
The river runs beside the road
Its waters living as they flow
In liquid voice the water calls
On thirsty knees the pilgrim falls
Sometimes a shadow dark and cold
Lays like a mist across the road
But be encouraged by the sight
Where there's a shadow, there's a light
Sometimes it's good to look back down
We've come so far - we've gained such ground
But joy is not in where we've been
Joy is who's waiting at the end
Songwriter: Irving Berlin

The road to Zion's in your heart

On thirsty knees the pilgrim falls
Sometimes a shadow dark and cold
Lays like a mist across the road

Where there's a shadow, there's a light
Sometimes it's good to look back down
We've come so far - we've gained such ground
But joy is not in where we've been
Joy is who's waiting at the end

I couldn't find an original Irving Berlin version, but here is one from the old Christian Rock group- Petra.

na, Jesus Christ is the Way period, calling upon the name of the Lord is what men do:

Gen 4:26 And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.

the name we have now is Jesus Christ.

But back then, it was Adam.

wrong again, if it was Adam then there would be no need for Jesus to come into the world

 

[Mattathias]

The road to Zion is the road to Jerusalem, the city of God and the king.

 

[Mattathias]

“The Songs of Ascent are a special group of psalms comprising Psalms 120-134. They are also called Pilgrim Songs.”

What are the Songs of Ascent? Who are the authors of the Songs of Ascent in the Book of Psalms?

[Mattathias]

Attributed to David -> Psalm 122, 124, 131, 133.

Attributed to Solomon -> Psalm 127.

The other Songs of Ascent / Pilgrim Songs are unattributed.

No offense to Mr. Berlin - he was a fine composer - but the composers of the psalms resonate more with me.

My personal favorite among the Songs of Ascent / Pilgrim Songs is Psalm 121.
