I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world of woe
So wrought with fear and toil and danger
Still waging war against my soul
I've spent long years in lawless turmoil
Hostile in mind, full of evil deeds
Yet God had chosen me for rescue
Ransomed in mercy, my soul He keeps
He has delivered me from darkness!
My faithless heart has been redeemed!
His Divine nature defeats corruption
Hidden in Christ, I am set free
His kindness draws me to repentance
His Spirit shows in Jesus Christ
The only God, ruler and father
Brought me from death to eternal life
And now a poor wayfaring stranger
Can overcome this world of woe
Bearing His name, heir of salvation
Approach with joy His glorious throne!

The whole album is a great idea with lots of good execution. The track "Arise, Shine, for Your Light has Come" is a stunning standout. Our church used it four services in a row! Kent Reeder
