Story Behind the Song
"Now I further saw, that betwixt them and the gate was a river; but there
was no bridge to go over, and the river was very deep. At the sight,
therefore, of this river the pilgrims were much stunned; but the men
that went with them said, You must go through, or you cannot come at the
gate.
The pilgrims then began to inquire if there was no other way to the
gate. To which they answered, Yes; but there hath not any, save two, to
wit, Enoch and Elijah, been permitted to tread that path since the
foundation of the world, nor shall until the last trumpet shall sound.
The pilgrims then, especially Christian, began to despond in their mind,
and looked this way and that, but no way could be found by them by which
they might escape the river. Then they asked the men if the waters were
all of a depth. They said, No; yet they could not help them in that
case; for, said they, you shall find it deeper or shallower as you
believe in the King of the place.
Then they addressed themselves to the water, and entering, Christian
began to sink, and crying out to his good friend Hopeful, he said, I
sink in deep waters; the billows go over my head; all his waves go over
me. Selah.
Then said the other, Be of good cheer, my brother: I feel the bottom,
and it is good. Then said Christian, Ah! my friend, the sorrows of
death have compassed me about, I shall not see the land that flows with
milk and honey. And with that a great darkness and horror fell upon
Christian, so that he could not see before him. Also here he in a great
measure lost his senses, so that he could neither remember nor orderly
talk of any of those sweet refreshments that he had met with in the way
of his pilgrimage. But all the words that he spoke still tended to
discover that he had horror of mind, and heart-fears that he should die
in that river, and never obtain entrance in at the gate. Here also, as
they that stood by perceived, he was much in the troublesome thoughts of
the sins that he had committed, both since and before he began to be a
pilgrim. It was also observed that he was troubled with apparitions of
hobgoblins and evil spirits; for ever and anon he would intimate so much
by words.
Hopeful therefore here had much ado to keep his brother's head above
water; yea, sometimes he would be quite gone down, and then, ere a
while, he would rise up again half dead. Hopeful did also endeavor to
comfort him, saying, Brother, I see the gate, and men standing by to
receive us; but Christian would answer, It is you, it is you they wait
for; for you have been hopeful ever since I knew you. And so have you,
said he to Christian. Ah, brother, (said he,) surely if I was right he
would now arise to help me; but for my sins he hath brought me into the
snare, and hath left me. Then said Hopeful, My brother, you have quite
forgot the text where it is said of the wicked, "There are no bands in
their death, but their strength is firm; they are not troubled as other
men, neither are they plagued like other men." [Psa. 73:4,5]. These
troubles and distresses that you go through in these waters, are no sign
that God hath forsaken you; but are sent to try you, whether you will
call to mind that which heretofore you have received of his goodness,
and live upon him in your distresses.
Then I saw in my dream, that Christian was in a muse a while. To whom
also Hopeful added these words, Be of good cheer, Jesus Christ maketh
thee whole. And with that Christian brake out with a loud voice, Oh, I
see him again; and he tells me, "When thou passest through the waters, I
will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow
thee." [Isa. 43:2]. Then they both took courage, and the enemy was
after that as still as a stone, until they were gone over. Christian,
therefore, presently found ground to stand upon, and so it followed that
the rest of the river was but shallow. Thus they got over.
Now, upon the bank of the river, on the other side, they saw the two
shining men again, who there waited for them. Wherefore, being come out
of the river, they saluted them, saying, We are ministering spirits,
sent forth to minister for those that shall be the heirs of salvation.
Thus they went along towards the gate."
The Pilgrim's Progress
By Paul Bunyan
Lyrics
First you were fine now you're under water! Christian where's your faith at? You've made it through life, now to visit your Father. Death cannot take what you have.
Where's your faith at? Where is it at?
You're shouting and pleading but we cannot save you. Christian lift your head up! That's right, it's not so deep, 'cause you know the real truth: the Lord is bearing your cup.
So Christian Swam across the stream--
As challenging as it did seem--
That separates this life from death
Though scared at first, he found his rest
In knowing God extends His hand,
In life or death to all of man.
He'll meet us on the other side
With brazed feet and flaming eyes
To greet us in our sweet depart
From life to death, our life at heart!
