Wherever I Am

He was never really welcome there inside those temple walls

Didn't waste much time preachin' to the crowd

And the Pharisees, they couldn't see what the fuss was all about

Why all those people followed him around

But you could find him with the cast-outs, the murderers and thieves

The widows and the beggars knew his name

And the children came from miles around, just to climb up on his knee

And he met ‘em with a smile, as if to say

Wherever I go, I will love the least of these with all my heart

Whatever I do, I will meet this broken world with open arms

Rest assured, wherever I am, I'm yours

Well, I learned that love goes farther than the four walls of a church

Somehow it found a sinner, just like me

And now my eyes are open to all the lost and lonely ones

So I asked the Lord to give me hands that reach

Wherever I go, I will love the least of these with all my heart

Whatever I do, I will meet this broken world with open arms

Rest assured, wherever I am, I'm yours

Well they put him on a cross, when he was only thirty-three

And they came from miles around to curse his name

And I guess it's kind of fitting that he died between two thieves

After all, they were the ones he came to save

In the end, he gave it all to say

Wherever I go, I will love the least of these with all my heart

Whatever I do, I will meet this broken world with open arms

So rest assured, wherever I am - oh, wherever I am, I'm yours

Mmm, I'm yours
