Mandisa's song 'Get Used To Different' featuring Ronnie Freeman is a contemporary Christian anthem about trusting God's plan when life takes unexpected turns. The lyrics express the struggle of facing a year that looks nothing like anticipated, with fear and uncertainty threatening to overwhelm. Yet the song shifts to a declaration of faith, as the singer hears God's reassurance that He is doing something new and working for good. Drawing a parallel to Mary's encounter with the angel, the song encourages embracing God's unfamiliar ways, even when they seem strange. It's a message of hope and surrender, reminding listeners that God's higher ways are always for their benefit.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

This year doesn?t look at all the way I thought it would

This year I?ve been looking hard to find a little good

I see the world on fire

Find it hard to breathe

It?s like a cloak of fear

About to smother me


Oh God, my God

Are you still here with me

Please say something

I need to hear you speak


Don?t You see that I?m doing something new

You can trust that I?m working for your good

I?m not doing what you?ve seen before

My favor is on you for so much more

Do you perceive it

Get used to different


The angel told me not to fear this thing that God has planned 

But how can it be so cuz I have never known a man

I could be rejected

I could be disowned

Treated like an outcast

Likely even stoned


Oh Lord, my Lord

Are you still here with me

I am your servant

I?ll follow where you lead


Don?t You see that I?m doing something new

You can trust that I?m working for your good

I?m not doing what you?ve seen before

My favor is on you for so much more

Do you perceive it

Get used to different

Get used to different


My ways are higher

(Your ways are higher)

My ways are better

(So much better)

Though sometimes strange

What could be stranger than God in a manger?


Don?t You see that I?m doing something new

(I see it; I perceive it)


Yes I see that You?re doing something new

I can trust that You?re working for my good

You?re not doing what I?ve seen before

Your favor is on me for so much more


Do you perceive it

(I perceive it)

Do you perceive it

(I believe)

Get used to different

(I?ll get used to different)

Get used to different
