An Animal En Route

Scripture

Hebrews 11:13 (KJV)

These all died in faith,

not having received the promises,

but having seen them afar off,

and were persuaded of them,

and embraced them,

and confessed that they were strangers

and pilgrims on the earth.

Refrain

I am an animal en route to another native land.

Quote

Gregory of Nazianzus, from an Easter Sermon

"The great Architect of the universe

conceived and produced a being

endowed with both natures,

visible and invisible.

He created a being at once earthly and heavenly,

insecure and immortal,

visible and invisible,

halfway between greatness and nothingness,

flesh and spirit at the same time —

an animal en route to another native land,

and most mysterious of all,

made to resemble God

by simple submission to the divine will."
