A Stranger's Child
A boy in a basket
floating on the Nile
launched by a small hope
through tearful smiles
When a king's goodly daughter
at the river heard a cry
found a baby on water
and found joy deep inside
Her love was for a stranger's child
for a stranger's child
who was not her own
but she kept loving all the while
love for a stranger's child
Like Moses I'm floating
adrift on a raft of borrowed time
i'm looking and longing
for a place to call home
when I hear your voice
and you beckon from shore
Oh it's sweet to see families
who are childless and alone
find tiny babies
and call them their own
but the greatest transaction
is the moment you and I
ask the heavenly Father
to adopt one more child
His love is for a stranger's child
always for a child
who will call Him Lord
and he kept loving all the while
love for a stranger's child
It's always for a child
who who will call Him Lord
and he kept loving all the while
love for a stranger's child
(child saying "thank you Jesus for adopting me")
floating on the Nile
launched by a small hope
through tearful smiles
When a king's goodly daughter
at the river heard a cry
found a baby on water
and found joy deep inside
Her love was for a stranger's child
for a stranger's child
who was not her own
but she kept loving all the while
love for a stranger's child
Like Moses I'm floating
adrift on a raft of borrowed time
i'm looking and longing
for a place to call home
when I hear your voice
and you beckon from shore
Oh it's sweet to see families
who are childless and alone
find tiny babies
and call them their own
but the greatest transaction
is the moment you and I
ask the heavenly Father
to adopt one more child
His love is for a stranger's child
always for a child
who will call Him Lord
and he kept loving all the while
love for a stranger's child
It's always for a child
who who will call Him Lord
and he kept loving all the while
love for a stranger's child
(child saying "thank you Jesus for adopting me")
