I Am a Stranger Here
(or The King's Business)
}
I am a stranger here, within a foreign land;
My home is far away, upon a golden strand;
Ambassador to be of realms beyond the sea,
I'm here on business for my King.
This is the King's command: that all men, ev'ryw
here,
Repent and turn away from sin's seductive snare;
That all who will obey, with Him shall reign for
aye,
And that's my business for my King.
My home is brighter far than Sharon's rosy plain
,
Eternal life and joy throughout its vast domain;
My Sov'reign bids me tell how mortals there may d
well,
And that's my business for my King.
Chorus This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing:
"O be ye reconciled,
"Thus saith my Lord and King,
"O be ye reconciled to God."
