We are disgraced, we have been despised
And shame has covered our faces
For strangers have crept into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house
The day will come declares the Lord
When I will punish her idols
Throughout the land the wounded will groan
If Babylon reaches the sky
Strangers in the House of the Lord
Strangers in the House of the Lord
They went down to the temple and they saw
They saw strangers in the house
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House
Today we stand Christian women and men
We make compromising decisions
We only get one life, is it the world or Christ?
Tell me who are you living for?
They say the meek shall inherit the earth
And hearts will rejoice
Are we a world without love, unconsciously tough
Or have we become
Strangers in the House of the Lord
Strangers in the House of the Lord
They went down to the temple and they saw
They saw strangers in the house
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House
They went down to the temple and they saw
Strangers in the house
It's time to recapture a bold sense of meaning
That we had when we gave our lives to Jesus
And trampled the strangers within
We are disgraced, we have been despised
And shame has covered our faces
For strangers have crept into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house
Strangers in the House of the Lord
Strangers in the House of the Lord
They went down to the temple and they saw
They saw strangers in the house
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House
Strangers in the House
They went down to the temple and they saw
Strangers in the House of the Lord
