Not of This World

 

Alienated – set apart

I’m not of this world

Crucified – a brand new start

I’m not of this world

Called to live a different life

Redeemed with blood – God’s sacrifice

Can’t you see that I’m not of this world?

 

Standing out, in a crowd

I’m not of this world

Standing tall, knees not bowed

I’m not of this world

Earthly pleasures call my name

“Come! Get glory! Come! Get fame!”

Can’t they see that I’m not of this world?

 

Marching proud, with flag raised high

I’m not of this world

Loose me, Lord, and let me fly

I’m not of this world

Bear me up – on Your wings soar

Shake the earth with a mighty roar!

Let them see that I’m not of this world.

 

Call me on to greater heights

I’m not of this world

I can see those celestial lights

I’m not of this world

Borne away, I’m finally free

The world no longer surrounds me

It’s too late now, but at the last they know

That I’m not of this world.
