Pilgrim House: One Stone at a Time | Christian Has Ideas

This is a song about building and becoming, inspired, among other things, by some lines from Richard Rohr.

I'm playing with a backwards capo, so the song is in E, but I get to play it in D, which allows for some different voicings and walk downs.

I release music under the name pilgrim house. You can find it here:

Song Title: One Stone at a Time

Lyrics:

Sometimes I get in the way / In my fantasies I'm self-made / No one likes to die to who they think they are / But letting go is how you start

In this economy of grace that turned our system on its face / Kindness wins the fight / It matters more than being right / And love is on the other side

Call it dying, call it change
Liberation from broken chains
Build a kingdom with what we find
When we leave control behind
One stone at a time

I'm not living for tradition, or rules we break over again / The truth is not an idea, it's a way to live your life / And love is on the other side

Call it dying, call it change
Liberation from broken chains
Build a kingdom from what we find
When we leave ourselves behind
One stone at a time

You've got to breath him in / Choose to fall again / Into a love much greater than anything you've been / The breath of God is flowing all around / Spread out / Breathe in / Fall back in love

It's not impossible to hope / You know we're all still on our way / Empire's come and go, but we've got seeds to sow / Just got to keep on letting go
