Jesus said that the world would hate us
Pretty clear that it does
And all the more when any of us
Gets close to the way Jesus was
They hate the light cause their deeds are evil
Really don't want to come to it
All they have to do is believe
But believe it or not they won't do it
Looking round don't like what I see
Looking round not the place for me
Looking round it's hard to fit in
When everywhere I turn it's sin sin sin
My brothers and sisters in Christ agree
The world is not what it ought to be
The world would like to say go away
And I'd like to say okay
Jesus said make disciples of men
Of every nation and tongue
And if they won't hear shake the dust off your feet
And keep going when you get stung
I must admit my feelings are mixed
But Paul said not to get weary
Eyes on the prize and things will get fixed
In the end though now they look dreary
Looking round don't like what I see
Looking round not the place for me
Looking round it's hard to fit in
When everywhere I turn it's sin sin sin
My brothers and sisters in Christ agree
The world is not what it ought to be
The world would like to say go away
And I'd like to say okay
Jesus said he'd be back for his bride
When the place for her is prepared
I don't know about you but I can hardly wait
To meet my lord in the air
Those left behind won't like what comes next
We better take care to tell them
So they'll know what to do when push comes to shove
Hang on to their souls and not sell them
Looking round don't like what I see
Looking round not the place for me
Looking round it's hard to fit in
When everywhere I turn it's sin sin sin
My brothers and sisters in Christ agree
The world is not what it ought to be
The world would like to say go away
And I'd like to say okay
