Move On

You who would travel the highway of faith
Do not look back, do not stay,
You who have grasped the great circle
Trust God, the world will own His day.

Do not try to recapture, but do not devalue
The vintage once you knew.
The Gospel ever explodes yesterday's vessel,
The wine comes fresh for you.

Two meet, three meet at a turn of the road
Travelling with the one Lord.
Each must move on within the same circle
True together to His Word.

You who would travel God's great highway
Unmapped, ahead, heaven's way,
With the One, with many never at rest,
Do not back nor stay.

- Mervyn Wilson, quoted in The Celtic Way, Ian Bradley
