Everyday, he's standing on that corner on that street
Every time I see him for a moment, our eyes meet
And the sign he holds does not accuse me of my greed
It just clearly states his need
But it's not food or money he's asking for
The cardboard words he holds are asking so much more
They say, don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to me
Everyday you see me and you ask me how I am
And without a thought, I tell you I'm a happy man
But if you are listening with more than just your ears
You'll know there's more to hear
When I am hurting, I am tempted to disguise
Please, hear more than My words and listen to My eyes
They say, don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to Me
To Me
Jesus is calling to all our hearts
These are the words He's saying
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger
Don't be a stranger to Me
No
In the noise of struggle, I will hear your silent call
I will pick you up and hold you every time you fall
I will turn you 'round when you're up against the wall
I will be your shelter when the rain is pouring down
I will be there for you when there's no one else around
I will be your friend when a friend cannot be found
We were never made to try to make it on our own
(Don't be a stranger)
In your darkest moment, don't forget, you're not alone
(Don't be a stranger)
I will walk beside you as we make out way toward home
(Don't be a stranger to Me)
