"NOT FOR THIS WORLD"
Capo 6
G Em C D
1. I was a stranger in a barren land,
Not knowing the God of glory planned
To call me out from the world into this journey.
By faith He led me to the promised land
Where living water freshens me
D- D7
And satisfaction’s in the living tree…
Chorus 1:
G D Em C
In the church-here to stay!
Countless times I’ve failed but
You show me the way back.
I'm not of this world!
You’ve appeared to me Lord,
There's no turning back.
G Em
I've seen my destiny
Em C
Is an eternal city
Em D G
Whose Architect and Builder is my God
2. Though God has brought me to this chosen land,
At times I don't really understand
The sufferings I go through, “Lord is all this for me?”
I am a man under Your sovereign hand.
Your mercy shines and now I see,
Your tenderheartedness to deal with me…
Chorus 2:
In the church, have Your way.
Strip me off of the earthly joys that replace You.
I’m not for this world.
Though the old man decays,
I’m daily renewed
My life on earth must be
To seek a better country
Whose Architect and Builder is my God
3. As I sojourn this temporary land,
Lord strengthen me, so trials I’d withstand,
Not losing sight of the eternity before me.
My future is brighter than what's at hand.
These sorrows, they will fade and flee
As glory fills me for eternity.
Chorus 3:
We’re the church in this age,
Getting ready to meet our Bridegroom that day!
We are not for this world!
We’re preparing for the new heav’n and new earth.
To be His masterpiece,
His bride eternally-
Our destiny’s the New Jerusalem.
