Lyrics
This is not my place,
I have another homeland,
And in this world I wait
For the country never ending.
I’m here to work and serve,
To take my cross, and share
The load that is too heavy
For a single soul to bear.

Lord, You came to us,
A pilgrim and a stranger,
We did not recognise
The face of our creator.
Yet, You gave me life,
And put Your heart in me,
But in the world that turns from You
A foreigner I’ll be.

This is not my world,
Its beauties and its glories
Are just a foretaste of
Another, brighter, country.
Lord, You served this earth,
You saved, and healed, and fed,
Until Your kingdom is revealed
I’ll follow where You led… until You come.
