Looks like the boy's in trouble again Living much too close to the edge of sin Now he finds himself where he should not have been Oh God, why is Your peace so hard to find And the answer to the questions that haunt my mind Oh Lord, Your ways are not like mine And it pounds like thunder within in my breast All the anger of my humanness And though I call You "Lord" I must confess I'm a stranger to Your holiness, A stranger to Your holiness Can we really be what we were meant to be Jesus' people, living by the Spirit and living free My heart longs to serve, but wanders so aimlessly Oh Lord You deserve every part of me Pounds like thunder within in my breast All the anger of my humanness And though I call You "Lord" I must confess I'm a stranger to Your holiness, A stranger to Your holiness Hear my cry of desperation As I see the wickedness of my ways You alone are my salvation, And Lord I've learned this one thing to be true Is that the closer I get to You, I see I'm a stranger (To Your holiness) Don't wanna be no stranger, And it burns like a fire... And it pounds like thunder within in my breast All the anger of my humanness And though I call You "Lord" I must confess I'm a stranger to Your holiness, A stranger to Your holiness Don't wanna be no stranger No, no Don't wanna be no stranger Don't wanna be no stranger Looks like the boy's in trouble again Oh, Lord Don't stop loving us
