Stranger

Postby drllrd74 » Sun Nov 22, 2015 2:32 pm

I'm a stranger on this earth,
waiting for the dawn of day;
when war, hate and anger,
will no longer have a sway.

When the curses and the hurt,
will be tokens of the past;
when love will be fulfilled,
and peace and joy will last.

I'm a pilgrim on this soil,
a soul that longs for God;
that patiently awaits the one,
that rules with a divine rod.

Whose mercy far exceeds,
the rule of mortal men;
whose crown is always there,
whose power has no end.

I'm a stranger on this earth,
awaiting resurrection;
from flesh and carnal man,
to a member of God's section.

This makes me think of one of my favorite songs by Building 429 (I think). I don't know what the actual title is for sure, but some of the words are "All I know is I'm not home yet...This is not where I belong. Take this world, but give me Jesus..This is not where I belong." Love your poem.
