Verse 1 The world around us cries for war, For power, pride, and gain, Yet you have called us out in peace, To break the sword and chain. We will not learn the ways of strife, Nor take up arms of steel, For Christ our Lord has shown the path Of love that’s true and real. Chorus No part of this world, we stand apart, Yet love for all we show. We follow Christ with quiet strength Wherever we may go. No flag, no cause can claim our hearts, No hatred take control. Your Kingdom is our only hope, Your will our only goal. Verse 2 We keep ourselves from blood and sin, From greed and filthy lies. We turn from what would stain your name, From what your heart denies. We flee from idols, hidden snares, From all that drags us down, For we would honor you, O God, And wear no earthly crown. Chorus No part of this world, we stand apart, Yet love for all we show. We follow Christ with quiet strength Wherever we may go. No flag, no cause can claim our hearts, No hatred take control. Your Kingdom is our only hope, Your will our only goal. Verse 3 We show we are disciples true By love that does not fail, By helping those who cry for hope, When hearts are weak and frail. We choose forgiveness over wrath, And kindness over pride, For Christ our Shepherd gently leads And walks close by our side. Bridge In every land, in every tongue, One brotherhood we see. Though nations rage, we stand as one, In faith and purity. Final Chorus No part of this world, we stand apart, Yet love for all we show. Until your Kingdom fills the earth, This banner we will know. In every trial, through every test, Our loyalty we prove, To you, Jehovah, and your Son, Whose footsteps we will choose.
