DJ Nicholas and Jermaine Edwards deliver a reggae-infused gospel track about unwavering commitment to Christ. The song opens with a reading from Hebrews 13 about believers being aliens on earth, longing for a heavenly country. The lyrics express a determination to keep following Jesus despite worldly pleasures, earthly struggles, and temptation. The artist declares he is not turning back, even if friends laugh, and affirms his identity as a Christian. The song emphasizes hiding God's word in the heart, breaking free from sin, and living to give God pleasure. It is a straightforward declaration of faith and perseverance.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
That they were aliens an' strangers on earth
People who say such things
Show that they are looking for a country of their own
If they had been thinking of the country they had left
They would have had, opportunity to return
Instead, they were longing for a better their, a heavenly one
Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God
For He has prepared a city for them
Set on my road to God's destiny
Worldly pleasures come before me
Keeping my mind on you daily
Cannot get lost on this journey?
Earthly struggles try to chain me
Don't wanna let me see Your Glory
But I'm fighting to be holy
So I hide an' be lowly
Jesus will you be my company?
am I pleasing you Lord, please tell me
I know I asked you before
But I'm feeling insecure
Can't get enough of you, so Lord
I have to set to you for more
Lord, you brought me from so far
An' I just can't turn back now
Living for Jesus, an' I'm not turning back
My friends may laugh, but I'm not turning back
Temptation may come, but I'll press to the top
'Cause I'm a Christian, (must) and that is a fact
Living for Jesus, an' I'm not turning back
My friends may laugh, but I'm not turning back
Temptation may come, but I'll press to the top
'Cause I'm a Christian, and that is a fact
Living for Jesus, an' I'm not turning back
My friends may laugh, but I'm not turning back
Temptation may come, but I'll press to the top
'Cause I'm a Christian, and that is a fact
Living for Jesus, an' I'm not turning back
My friends may laugh, but I'm not turning back
Temptation may come, but I'll press to the top
'Cause I'm a Christian, (Jermaine!) and that is a fact
I'm not ashamed to tell the world that I am what I am
I am a son of, the Most High, I am that I am
I choose, not to stand alone because I'm not an island
A representing, the King, the Conquering Lion
Hide the word in my heart, so I won't be confused
Satan had me bound for so long an' now I am loose
Bye bye fleshly desire, bye bye carnal behavior
Enjoy that last piece, 'cause now my body will give God pleasure
Living for Jesus, an' I'm not turning back
My friends may laugh, but I'm not turning back
Temptation may come, but I'll press to the top
'Cause I'm a Christian, and that is a fact
Living for Jesus, an' I'm not turning back
My friends may laugh, but I'm not turning back
Temptation may come, but I'll press to the top
'Cause I'm a Christian, and that is a fact
I wanna live for you
Wanna live for you, Jesus
Wanna live for you..
