I'll only find His peace, and happiness;
Now I will fight, so that I may rejoice with Jesus my King,
I will endure, so in the end I'll win
542. I AM A STRANGER HERE

Heb 11.9-fO.MISSrONARlESTn :r:tn HOPE
I am a stranger here, within a foreign land,
My home is far away, upon a golden strand;
A messenger to be of realms beyond the sea,
I'm here on business for my King.
CHORUS
This is the message that I bring,
A message angels fain would sing;
"Oh, be ye reconciled," Thus said my Lord and King,
"Oh, be ye reconciled with God."
2
This is the King's command, that all men ev'rywhere,
Repent and turn away from sin's seductive snare;
That all who will obey, dwell with him for all days,
And that's my business for my King.
3
My home is brighter far than Sharon's rosy plain,
Eternal life and joy thro'out its vast domain;
My Sov'reign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell,
And that's my business for my King.

I am a pilgrim, I am a stranger,
//And my time is brief on Earth//;
//Time is fleeting// on this Earth,
I will not falter, I want to serve Him.
And face the tempest, braving the storm,
The peace that I seek, is not in this world;
