1. Oh, listen to the wanderer
  In whom there was a lack;
  Then hearken to the song he sings
  And follow in his track.
(Chorus:)
  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.
3. For self I labored day and night,
  My castles build in sand;
  But, praise the Lord, He wrecked them all��
  Much better things He planned.
(Chorus:)
  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.
5. I am a happy member now
  Within the local church.
  A wanderer has found his home
  And ended all his search.
(Chorus:)
  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 other in Himself
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.
(Chorus:)
  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!
