We are pilgrims in a strange land We are so far from our homeland With each passing day it seems so clear This world will never want us here We're not welcome in this world of wrong We are foreigners who don't belong
(Chorus) We are strangers, we are aliens We are not of this world
We are envoys, we must tarry With this message we must carry There's so much to do before we leave With so many more who may believe Our mission here can never fail And the gates of hell will not prevail
Jesus told us men would hate us But we must be of good cheer He has overcome this world of darkness And soon we will depart from here
