You were just a stranger to me
Some far-off place I termed “
Somewhere, across the sea.
Did I know that someday, I’d make you my home?
Did I know that you’d teach me of life?
Did I know that one day, in this book I would pen
What I’d learned from your sacrifice?
Something I’d never seen before
I embrace you in this moment of time
And each day, I long for more.
You have charmed me, bewitched, and bade me to stay
Amongst the children of your land
What is my future? I cannot know
…whatever God has planned.
But I’ve written a song for you tonight
An ode to your people and earth
And I pray you will prosper; that the tears you have shed
Will be turned to rejoicing and mirth.
