I Do Not Belong

This song, "I Do Not Belong," reminded me that this world is not all there, because I believe in Jesus Christ. This world is not my home. This world of broken pieces is not all there is for anyone who receives Jesus as Lord and Savior of their life.

In Paul's testimony from Philippians 1:20-24 he says: "I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body."

What Paul was saying is that "to live," meant to develop eternal values and to tell others about Christ. Paul's whole purpose in life was to speak boldly for Christ and to become more like Him. Paul was able to say with confidence, that dying would be even better than living because death would remove him from worldly troubles and he would see Christ face to face.

Below are the lyrics of "I Do Not Belong," by Kutless plus the audio/video of it.


I Do Not Belong

I look around
and feel like
things change
and I don't know why

Every day that passes by
I feel so far away
I can see in the distance
You have the rest of me
I put my trust in You
as I look beyond today
It's all becoming clear

CHORUS
I do not belong
in a world of broken pieces
I was meant to be
in the arms of Your redemption
I am moving on
to the place of your perfection
cuz I do not belong

When the world
is behind me
on the day
that I breath my last
In the face of eternity
there is hope
because I believe

When I look to the heavens
In the future
that you hold
It makes it easier
to see beyond today
Now I'm looking to the sky

CHORUS

This world is not
my home
I'm a stranger in this land
but I'm not alone

CHORUS




Lord Jesus, I thank you for this eternal perspective today, that my life is not my own; that this world is not my home. In this valley, I must be honest, there have been days, when I've been torn between the desire of seeing You face to face or remaining here on earth. This I know, while I am here on this earth, my purpose is to glorify You and make You known to others. Give this ordinary woman courage and confidence in who You are in my life to make that so. I adore you Lord, Jesus.

John 15:19 - ...As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
