Verse 1
At Your birth, You rested in a manger
Hewn for cattle from Judean stone
Then You had to flee at night to Egypt
Herod feared that You would claim his throne
You were…
Chorus
Homeless
With no roof or walls
For Your head a pillow made of stone
Homeless
Homeless with a cause
For You came to seek and save the lost
So that You could bring the homeless home
Verse 2
You proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom
In the hinterlands of Galilee
When the crowds had left, the fields were empty
Could You rest on boulders by the sea?
You were…
Repeat chorus
Verse 3
Soldiers took You to the hall of Pilate/judgment
Nailed You to a cross and raised it high
When You died, the light gave way to darkness
As You hung between the earth and sky
You were…
Repeat chorus
Verse 4
You arose from death to life to Heaven
Still You are the Shepherd of the lost
Now You seek and save Your homeless children
Carry us rejoicing to Your Cross
No longer…
Repeat chorus
