Give me the heart of a stranger, a pilgrim in this land
And keep my hand from the danger
Where I plant my feet to take a stand
Against this world and its cold dark ways
Lord help me be a light
And give me a heart for the stranger, that is roaming in the night.
Break my heart for what breaks yours
I trade sacrifice for mercy, I open my heart doors
For You love Oh You love
To heal the broken-hearted man and set the captives free
Yes you love Oh you love
To liberate the bonded man and cause the blind to see
Give me the heart of a stranger
Give me the heart of a wanderer like father Abraham
To live by faith and hope and love,
As I journey through this foreign land
I join my hand with my fellow man, Lord help me sympathize
Give a heart for the stranger, help me see the world through Your eyes
And break my heart for what breaks yours
I trade sacrifice for mercy, I open my heart doors
For You love oh You love
To heal the broken-hearted man and set the captives free
Yes You love oh You love
To liberate the bonded man and cause the blind to see
Oh blessed are the poor in heart for theirs is the kingdom
Blessed are those who morn for they will be comforted
Blessed are the humble ones for they will inherit life
Blessed are the hungry souls for they will be filled
Blessed are the merciful for they'll obtain mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God
For You love
Yes You Love
For You love
Give me the heart of a stranger, give me the heart of a stranger
Give me the heart of a stranger.
