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
