Lyrics

Radical Welcome
Matt. 10:40-42

Come on in!
Nobody here will ask you where you been
And being different here is not a sin
We all fit in!
We come as strangers and leave as friends
Like next of kin
I confess
A little fear, a little awkwardness
The first time I showed up at this address
Who would have guessed
It’d come to be the place I love the best
Where I’m loved and known and not alone?

Only those who’ve been left out
Can understand what mercy’s about
Enough to offer
Love’s radical welcome
!
And love demands
That we remember our old circumstance
Offer forgiveness every time we can
A second chance
A gracious invitation to the dance
To be loved, known and not alone

Chorus

There’s a stranger at the door
He’s unlike anyone we’ve seen before
Been uninvited since the day he was born
No room, they said, no room for the Lord!
