stranger in this land lyrics

I spent too much time today
On things that don't mean much
The world around me groans
Under its tyranny of touch
And every wasted thought
And every battle left unfought
Stands as testimony to my need

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

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

And all I've got to do is to believe on You
Then every struggle seems worthwhile
I can see the promise of Your smile

I'm a stranger in this land
Won't You take me by the hand
I'm a stranger in this land
Won't You take me by the hand

I'm a stranger in this land
Jesus take me by the hand
I can hear that distant band
But I'm still a stranger in this land

All I've got to do is to believe on You
