‘Traveling Light’ features a simple arrangement with cello, piano, and vocals. The beautiful and enchanting melody carries a timeless message, encouraging listeners to prioritize spiritual over material concerns, echoing themes from Matthew 6:19 and Matthew 8:20. Inspired by Max Lucado's book of the same title, the song underscores the practice of freeing our souls from the weight of earthly burdens and transitory things all the while keeping our hearts and minds anchored in Jesus.

Traveling Light
Listen on Apple MusicLyrics
The birds have nests, and the foxes they have holes
But nowhere here on earth could you call home
For the world could not contain such a love so big and bold
This love that rolled away the stone
And carried you back to your throne death behind
Rising above, traveling, traveling light
You teach us not to lay up treasures here on earth
For life is but a breath in ancient time
You invite us to lay our burdens down
For weighted wings cannot fly
All hope fulfilled, all pride left behind
Rising above, traveling, traveling light
Free my soul, oh free my soul of transitory things
In the small as well as great, to lose myself in you
Cast aside all weight and fix my gaze
On the morning star that shines so brightly in the night
And guides me on my darkest days, Heaven's sacred flame
A love that never fades, my resting place
How vain and useless to be anxious and despair
The love of God outlasts the things of man
When my countenance is clouded and my sight has grown dim
I will set my heart on him, No guilt, no shame
But the cross of Christ
Rising above, traveling, traveling light
Rising above, with my savior white as snow
And pure and clean and bright
Traveling, traveling light
But nowhere here on earth could you call home
For the world could not contain such a love so big and bold
This love that rolled away the stone
And carried you back to your throne death behind
Rising above, traveling, traveling light
You teach us not to lay up treasures here on earth
For life is but a breath in ancient time
You invite us to lay our burdens down
For weighted wings cannot fly
All hope fulfilled, all pride left behind
Rising above, traveling, traveling light
Free my soul, oh free my soul of transitory things
In the small as well as great, to lose myself in you
Cast aside all weight and fix my gaze
On the morning star that shines so brightly in the night
And guides me on my darkest days, Heaven's sacred flame
A love that never fades, my resting place
How vain and useless to be anxious and despair
The love of God outlasts the things of man
When my countenance is clouded and my sight has grown dim
I will set my heart on him, No guilt, no shame
But the cross of Christ
Rising above, traveling, traveling light
Rising above, with my savior white as snow
And pure and clean and bright
Traveling, traveling light
