Petra - Not of this World lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on 2 Peter 2:11, John 15:18-19, John 16:33, Matthew 16:18, John 14:3

We are pilgrims in a strange land

We are so far from our homeland

With each passing day it seems so clear

This world will never want us here

We're not welcome in this world of wrong

We are foreigners who don't belong

(Chorus)

We are strangers, we are aliens

We are not of this world

We are envoys, we must tarry

With this message we must carry

There's so much to do before we leave

With so many more who may believe

Our mission here can never fail

And the gates of hell will not prevail

Jesus told us men would hate us

But we must be of good cheer

He has overcome this world of darkness

And soon we will depart from here
