Being mindful of the scripture
You work all things out for good
Please accomplish, Lord, contentment
Through the sorrows if you would
May the knowledge that the road you walked
Would not have been your choice
But you gave up all and suffered much
To heed a higher voice
Be the force by which I’m carried
And the strength by which I stand
Ever mindful I’m an alien
And this is foreign land
You work all things out for good
Please accomplish, Lord, contentment
Through the sorrows if you would
May the knowledge that the road you walked
Would not have been your choice
But you gave up all and suffered much
To heed a higher voice
Be the force by which I’m carried
And the strength by which I stand
Ever mindful I’m an alien
And this is foreign land
