CLAY AIKEN - In Not Of lyrics

rate me

I hide me far away from trouble

The world outside me grows darker by the day

So I promise to stay here close beside You

Surely God would want His children safe

Then in 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 colide

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.
