Rebecca St. James
Beautiful Stranger
[Verse 1]
“Do you see me?”
The question’s in her eyes
“Do you relate to the pain I can’t disguise?”
Oh, look beyond what you see
The outside is not all there is

[Chorus]
Tell me now when did I see
You in need of water?
Oh, and tell me now, when did I see you
Hungry on the street?
God, I hear you calling out to me
In the voices of the least of these
Calling me to reach beyond my world
To the beautiful stranger
Beautiful Stranger

[Verse 2]
He does not look like everyone else
Does not fit in anywhere I know
You ask me to be your hands
And show him now that he is loved

[Chorus]
Tell me now when did I see
You in need of water?
Oh, and tell me now, when did I see you
Hungry on the street?
God, I hear you calling out to me
In the voices of the least of these
Calling me to reach beyond my world
[Bridge]
There’s beauty that lies deep within
Waiting to be discovered
God help me see what You see
The diamond in the stone

[Chorus]
You in need of water
Tell me now, when did I see you
Hungry on the street?
God, I hear you calling out to me
In the voices of the least of these
Calling me to reach beyond my world
To the beautiful stranger
Tell me now when did I see
You in need of water?
Oh, and tell me now, when did I see you
Hungry on the street?
God, I hear you calling out to me
In the voices of the least of these
Calling me to reach beyond my world
To the beautiful stranger
Beautiful stranger

[Outro]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
