Alien
As I walk, I carry a powerful light.
The cross is my strength and might.
By the living water I am firmly planted.
I never thirst, through the lamb I am shepherded.
 
I carry a light as the darkness surrounds me;
The living word is my path helping me see.
My God and Father holds my hand,
As we walk together in this foreign land.
 
I turn my back towards my old ways.
I will run towards you the rest of my days.
Though the path I walk is narrow and lonely,
Your support and right hand guides me.
 
You lovingly adopted me into your family.
Your abounding grace gave me salvation freely.
I belong to you Father, only you I revere.
This earth is temporary for I don’t belong here.
 
I am an alien passing through this land.
I don’t take pride in India or England.
Father, I rejoice in your sanctuary.
I long for a better country: one that’s heavenly.
