Wandering Stranger

I saw a wandering stranger yesterday

He had a lot to say

I listened carefully

As he spoke passionately

His words struck me to the core

I wanted to hear more

He unleashed some words of wisdom

I felt them in my bosom

I saw a wandering stranger yesterday

I’m glad he came my way

He gave me strength

As we talked at length

I’ve never known such power

I felt it hour upon hour

He made it clear

He would always be near

I saw a wandering stranger yesterday

There’s nothing more to say

He talked about purpose

Coming to the surface

He told me what’s real

Now I live it with zeal

I have no regrets

Life is as good as it gets

So it’s safe to say

I remember the day

A wandering stranger came my way

Tested

flowers-garden-colorful-colourfulI’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve been dejected

I’ve been rejected

But always protected

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

But I know my name

Others counted me out

But God left no doubt

When I reached my wit’s end

He showed me where to begin

When I lost my strength

I talked with Him at length

He filled me to the core

I’m going back for more

I’m in a different zone

God won’t leave me alone

I have a long way to go

Challenges will help me grow

I’ll take a stand

As I hold God’s hand

For I have been tested
