Something Different

Lyrics

No one claiming that possessions are their own But sharing everything they have No one throwing stones of judgment While they're living in a house that's made of glass People loving those who hate them most And blessing those who curse People praying for their enemies And those who've done them hurt Is all of my theology Just things I like to say So I can fall asleep at night Believing that I'm saved Or is it something different, spirit stirring Swimming upstream against the current People living in humility Committed to be messengers of peace Standing in the face of evil With the courage just to turn the other cheek Everybody putting everybody else above themselves Redefining words like power Weakness, poverty and wealth I can't afford the luxury of living status quo 'Cause when I look at Jesus' life everything I know Says He was something different, spirit stirring Swimming upstream against the current Mountain mover, life transforming Not quite normal, nonconforming I can't ignore injustice And the tragic human cost At the same time I'm confessing Him who died upon the cross Same ole same ole just won't do If we're seeking after truth Living in complacency Isn't where we're meant to be Jesus never played it safe Action needs to follow faith If we're afraid to take a chance We can't make a difference I cannot be satisfied Looking for a fence to ride I know I need to die to me Shake this mediocrity Take a walk out on a limb If I'm gonna live for Him Love should make me radical Worldly incompatible Something different, spirit stirring Swimming upstream against the current Mountain mover, life transforming Not quite normal, nonconforming Something different Swimming upstream against the current Mountain mover, nonconforming Not quite normal, life transforming No one claiming that possessions are their own But sharing everything they have No one throwing stones of judgment While they're living in a house that's made of glass
