Description

This 4-stanza hymn with refrain speaks a message of welcome to those who find themselves on the periphery of life and calls the church to be a place of refuge for all.

TEXT:

Fellow strugglers, lost and lonely –

All whose dreams are dashed to dust.

Cast aside as unimportant,

View the system as unjust.

Here find healing,

Peace and comfort.

Find in Christ your dwelling place.

 

Wand’ring, hopeless, crippled, homeless,

Hungry, thirsty, ostracized;

Sick and dying, often crying,

Running with no place to hide.

Here find healing,

Peace and comfort.

Find in Christ your dwelling place.

 

Drained of trust by greed and anger,

Suff’ring health and mental pain;

“Not like us” in shouts and whispers –

Never hear those words again.

Here find healing,

Peace and comfort.

Find in Christ your dwelling place.

 

We with Christ will be your fortress,

Be your home, your safety-site;

Lift you up when you’re discouraged,

Salt apply and render light.

Here find healing,

Peace and comfort.

Find in Christ your dwelling place.
