Pilgrim's Progress

every now and then, you catch a song that moves you to tears...

I encountered one this weekend. Go to itunes and download this song right now.

It is called Pilgrims Progress performed by Kris Kristofferson (yes, THAT Kris Kristofferson). It is unbelivable and quite remarkably full of "Wesleyan Theology".

Even if it is not your genre of music - check it out and just listen to the words..

I young enough to believe in revolution
Am I strong enough to get down on my knees and pray
Am I high enough on the chain of evolution
To respect myself, and my brother and my sister
And perfect myself in my own peculiar way
I get lazy, and forget my obligations
I'd go crazy, if I paid attention all the time
And I want justice,
but I'll settle for some mercy
On this Holy Road through the Universal Mind
Repeat Chorus
I got lucky, I got everything I wanted
I got happy, there wasn't nothing else to do
And I'd be crazy not to wonder if I'm worthy
Of the part I play in this dream that's coming true
Repeat Chorus
