Something Different

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
