In Not Of Lyrics - Clay Aiken

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.
