A Stranger Welcomed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thank You for the gathering,

Though it was very small.

It filled me with the peaceful joy

I needed most of all.

 

I answered when You bade me go,

Though I was still unsure,

But I found myself welcomed in

A love gentle and pure.

 

For though I was an outsider,

They offered me such grace

That I had no doubt I saw You

When I looked in each face.  

The love of God’s alive and well,

And it blooms vibrantly.

For I was a stranger to them,

But they still welcomed me.

 

Matthew 25:35

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me
