Pilgrim Song - my soul longs to get back to the temple (back to where The Lord is) - words chosen with intent - sparrows are lowest bird at time, like pigeons; they are welcome to be there (restlessness birds, ADHD birds) - Zion, city of David (place where The Lord is)...temple Mount where you go to meet with God - pointing towards the NEW heaven & earth: JESUS!!!! - Jesus is our KING, He is our shield!!! - attitude is full of joy; no matter the hardships he has to face - it points to the Messiah Who is coming!!! - we are given a picture of what it is to live on earth as Christians - Either you are walking toward eternity with Jesus or you are walking toward eternity without Him We get our strengths by: Colossians 2:9; Colossians 2:13-15
