Wayfaring Strangers

from Empathy Project by Caroline Ferrante

/

lyrics

Verse 1:
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
There's no sickness toil nor danger
In that bright world to which I go

Chorus 1:
I was lost and then they found me
Wandering on this golden shore
Prison bars are all around me
Shackled here on heaven’s door

Verse 2:
I know dark clouds will gather round me
I know the way is rough and steep
Beauteous fields rise before me
Where God’s redeemed
Are fast asleep

Chorus 2:
When I cried could they not hear me?
Could they never lend a hand?
Over Jordan is our hell now
Orphans in the Promised Land

Solo

Chorus 3:
When I cried could they not hear me?
Could they never take a stand?
Over Jordan is our hell now
Orphans in the Promised Land

Verse 3:
I was naked, did you clothe me?
Mighty city on a hill
In my hunger did you feed me?
Ease my pain when I was ill?
In this prison did you meet me?
Did you make for me a home?
Turn your back upon a stranger
And you too may one day roam
Outro:
In this prison did you meet me?
Did you make for me a home?
Turn your back upon a stranger
Then you too may one day roam
