Petra - Not Of This World

Chorus / Description : The song Not Of This World by Petra is a Christian song that emphasizes the idea of believers being aliens and strangers in this world. It is based on biblical concepts such as Christians being in the world but not of the world (John 17:14-16) and the promise of Jesus overcoming the world (John 16:33). The lyrics highlight the challenges and opposition faced by Christians while reminding them of their ultimate victory in Christ.

Not Of This World Lyrics

We are pilgrims in a strange land
We are so far from our homeland
With each passing day it seems so clear
This world will never want us here
We're not welcome in this world of wrong
We are foreigners who don't belong

We are strangers, we are aliens
We are not of this world

We are envoys, we must tarry
With this message we must carry
There's so much to do before we leave
With so many more who may believe
Our mission here can never fail
And the gates of hell will not prevail

Jesus told us men would hate us
But we must be of good cheer
He has overcome this world of darkness
Soon we will depart from here
