New song ‘The Pilgrim Way’ available across York schools

The Pilgrim Way, written by Nick and Becky Drake of Songs for School, invites children to reflect on life as a pilgrimage and explore their journey of faith.

The pair said: “We’re delighted to share our new song, The Pilgrim Way, with everyone.

“It’s all about life and the journey of faith, with its highs and lows.

“It’s about how our story fits within the broader story of God’s people who have gone before and those who go ahead of us.

“We hope The Pilgrim Way inspires children to see their place in this story, and journey on through life knowing God is with them.”

A free resource pack has been released alongside the song to support use in schools and churches.

It includes a lyric video, singalong video, backing track, printable lyric sheet, and sheet music.

Makaton and British Sign Language (BSL) video resources will also be made available soon.

The Pilgrim Way is part of a wider collection of materials from Faith in the North, which includes ‘Pilgrim Pathways’ collective worship resource and materials that explore the stories of the Northern Saints.
