 1 

Oh, listen to the wanderer

In whom there was a lack;

Then hearken to the song he sings

And follow in his track.

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 2 

A wanderer within the world

For pleasure ever seeks;

Be it in body or in mind,

With vanity it reeks.

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 3 

For self I labored day and night,

My castles built in sand;

But, praise the Lord, He wrecked them all —

Much better things He planned.

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 4 

Once all for self — confused, alone,

How could I bear the shame?

But now within the local church

I'll never be the same.

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 5 

I am a happy member now

Within the local church.

A wanderer has found his home

And ended all his search.

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 6 

I was an individualist,

An island in myself;

But now the Lord is building me

With others in Himself

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 7 

I'm drawn together with His own

In fellowship so sweet.

I've learned from others to receive

Of Christ whene'er we meet.

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!

 

 8 

My wanderings have really ceased —

I've found the church, God's best!

The secret of my happiness —

Enjoying God's own rest!

 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

I'll never be the same!
