“Your statutes have been like songs to me
Whenever I have lived as a stranger.” Psalm 119:14
I have been a stranger
in the land
A foreigner in this place
I am obtuse
To the language
and culture
Yet one constant –
The song of your presence
I am no stranger
to you
No foreigner
in this land
Where heaven meets earth
the song is born
Where you call me your own
you lead me by the hand
“Show me the road that I must walk
For I lift my soul to you.” Psalm 143:8
The road divides before me
Shall I turn left or right?
I lift up my eyes,
My soul,
My prayer,
I put my trust in your
Unfailing love
I make my choice
And follow you.
