John 14:3 |
|
We are pilgrims in a strange land |
|
We are so far from our homeland |
|
With each passing day it seems so clear |
|
This world will never want us here |
|
We're not welcome in this world of wrong |
|
We are foreigners who don't belong (Chorus) |
|
We are strangers, we are aliens |
|
We are not of this world |
|
We are envoys, we must tarry |
|
With this message we must carry |
|
There's so much to do before we leave |
|
With so many more who may believe |
|
Our mission here can never fail |
|
And the gates of hell will not prevail |
|
Jesus told us men would hate us |
|
But we must be of good cheer |
|
He has overcome this world of darkness |
|
Soon we will depart from here |
