An original hymn with text by Angie Killian below.  Watch on YouTube: I Was a Stranger

He taught us how to live

He showed us how to give

He opened up his arms and let the lepers in

With poor men he walked

With children he talked

He took upon our pain and saved us from our sin.

I was hungry, you gave me meat

I was thirsty, you gave me drink

I was a stranger, you took me in

I was a stranger, you took me in.

As we do unto men

We're doing unto him

So follow in the footsteps of the perfect one

Help others on their way

Spread light to bright their day

And open up your heart to live like God's own Son

I was hungry, you gave me meat

I was thirsty, you gave me drink

I was a stranger, you took me in

I was a stranger, you took me in

Give love and soon you'll see

Though different we may be

We're family, all children of a Heav'nly Father

We're all around the world

Some far and some near home

Reach out your hand and lift the burden of your brother

I was hungry, you gave me meat

I was thirsty, you gave me drink

I was a stranger, you took me in

I was a stranger, you took me in
