God Loves Me Through Strangers

When the seas of life have tossed me to and fro 
or my heart has been filled with regret 
I've been rescued by people whom I did not know 
or by folks I'd just recently met. 
In the same way strangers have needed me 
and I felt it my duty to answer their call 
thus we became good friends immediately 
and shared the greatest kind of love of them all. 
I've always been one to show much gratitude 
for what others have done for me 
this would explain my optimistic attitude 
and why I love so wholeheartedly. 
Sure, I have relatives like normal folks do 
we share a bond which is quite strong 
but when I was lost not knowing what to do 
God would send one of these strangers along. 
I used to think family was all that I had 
therefore, I tried to keep my family nearby 
but many times in the past when my storms would get bad 
twas perfect strangers who answered my cry. 
These people came along and took me in 
we sat together waiting for my storms to cease 
we then formed a bond stronger than any of my kin 
and shared a friendship filled with true love and peace. 
I know that God's blessing me in times like these 
when I had no one at all to turn to 
I thought that I'd just drown in my stormy seas 
but He'd send a stranger to my rescue. 
I thank God up above for His mercy and love 
and for sending these strangers my way 
He lets me know that I'm His and always thought of 
and that I will be helpful to a stranger one day. 
As I sit alone in silence and contemplate 
the many times I've been saved from life's dangers 
I know that God's love saved me from a terrible fate 
and that He gave me most of His love through strangers
