Clay Aiken: In not of

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?
