He was never really welcome there inside those temple walls Didn't waste much time preachin' to the crowd And the Pharisees, they couldn't see what the fuss was all about Why all those people followed him around But you could find him with the cast-outs, the murderers and thieves The widows and the beggars knew his name And the children came from miles around, just to climb up on his knee And he met ‘em with a smile, as if to say Wherever I go, I will love the least of these with all my heart Whatever I do, I will meet this broken world with open arms Rest assured, wherever I am, I'm yours Well, I learned that love goes farther than the four walls of a church Somehow it found a sinner, just like me And now my eyes are open to all the lost and lonely ones So I asked the Lord to give me hands that reach Wherever I go, I will love the least of these with all my heart Whatever I do, I will meet this broken world with open arms Rest assured, wherever I am, I'm yours Well they put him on a cross, when he was only thirty-three And they came from miles around to curse his name And I guess it's kind of fitting that he died between two thieves After all, they were the ones he came to save In the end, he gave it all to say Wherever I go, I will love the least of these with all my heart Whatever I do, I will meet this broken world with open arms So rest assured, wherever I am - oh, wherever I am, I'm yours Mmm, I'm yours
