Pearls of Praise ‎#119

119. Homeless, Friendless, Helpless

1 Homeless I wander from place unto place,
Nowhere to rest and nowhere to sleep;
No place of shelter to hide from the storm,
So, too, in the tempest must stand here and weep.
Will no one hear me or can no one see?
Is there no home anywhere for me?
Will no one hear me or can no one see?
Is there no home anywhere for me?

Refrain:
Yes, there’s a home, a beautiful home above,
A building of God, a home not made with hands;
Where all the weary find the sweetest rest,
When with the Savior they shall stand.

2 Friendless and lonely I pass all my days,
No one the cheer and no one to care;
No one to pity when evils annoy,
So lonely to perish, to yield in despair.
Will no one hear me or can no one see?
Is there no friend anywhere for me?
Will no one hear me or can no one see?
Is there no friend anywhere for me? [Refrain]

3 Helpless and weary I strive with the foe,
No one to strengthen, no one to shield;
No one to rescue from those who destroy,
So helpless, I’m falt’ring, I can not but yield.
Will no one hear me or can no one see?
Is there no help anywhere for me?
Will no one hear me or can no one see?
Is there no help anywhere for me? [Refrain]
