I spent too much time today

on things that don't mean much

The world around me groans under it's tyranny of touch

Every wasted thought

and every battle left unfought

All are testimony to my need of you



CHORUS



I'm a stranger in this land

Won't you take me by the hand

I can hear that distant band

But I'm still a stranger in this land



Somedays at the strangest times

I feel a sense of loss

A bite or two of stolen fruit

and we all suffer from the cost

But every longing for my home

Even when I'm not alone

Stands as testimony of the coming day



BRIDGE



All I've got to do

is to believe on You

Then every struggle seems worthwhile

I can see the promise of Your smile
