In Not Of
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hide far away from trouble
The world outside me, grows darker by the day
So I promise
To stay here close beside Him
Surely God would want his children safe, oh
Then, reading, how my eyes were opened
I find that He is leading us
Out into the world
Into the middle
Of fallen saints and sinners
Where a little grace is needed most
Come take the Light to darker parts
Share His truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love it
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Until the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it, not of it
Wait a minute
If we say we love them
Why are we not in it?
Why we run and hide?
Entertain a stranger
Maybe entertain an angel
The danger is if our worlds don't collide
Come take the Light to darker parts
Share His truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love it
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Until the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it, not of it
We've cursed the darkness far too long
We need to hold the candle high
We have to go and right the wrongs
We need to touch the world
With love
(With His love)
Wait a minute
If we say we love them
Why are we not in it?
Why are we not in it?
Come take the Light to darker parts
Share His truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love it
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Until the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
Come take the Light to darker parts
Share His truth with hardened hearts
We are not like the world
But we can love it
Come bring the Hope to hopeless men
Until the lost are found in Him
He came to save the world
So let us be
In it, not of it
Wait a minute
If we say we love them
Why are we not in it?
