Stranger to this World

This song tries to capture the way a Christian feels living in a world that is at once home, yet also not so much. The new life infused by Jesus has given us a new citizenship in His kingdom. Thus we are now strangers, in a sense, awaiting our divine destiny. Full lyrics: (verse 1) Breakin' a sweat runnin' for the prize Feeling the call to care for someone else's life On my knees everyday Earnestly I pray Oh, don't you know These are the ways of a stranger Finding my joy, in spite of vicious trials Reaching out to those who curse my name Counting the cost of living right And being salt and light Oh, don’t you know These are the ways of a stranger (Chorus) I'm a stranger to this world Oh, this I must confess Yeah, a stranger to this world And I'm separate from the rest And I hope you see a spark of hope Burning in these eyes Oh, it's good to be A Stranger to this world (verse 2) Runnin' even though I’m weak and weary Walkin' on where once before I'd faint With the wings of eagles I can fly away Oh don't you know These are the ways of a stranger Bustin' through the barriers that hold us back Seeking common ground to soothe the soul Praying for His hope to start In lost and broken hearts Oh, don't you know These are the ways of a stranger (Chorus) I'm a stranger to this world Oh, this I must confess Yeah, a stranger to this world And I'm separate from the rest And I hope you see a spark of hope Burning in these eyes Oh, it's good to be A Stranger to this world (Bridge) Though I know I was born here on Earth My God has made a brand new me And now my heart longs for my new home Where there will be stupendous things to see (Chorus) I'm a stranger to this world Oh, this I must confess Yeah, a stranger to this world And I'm separate from the rest And I hope you see a spark of hope Burning in these eyes Oh, it's good to be A Stranger to this world (tag) Yeah, I’m a stranger to this world Won’t you journey with us there Be a stranger to this world With a whole new home in Heaven
