Lyrics
If ye then be risen risen, risen in Christ in Christ
(Focus)
Set your affections, affections -- on the things of the kingdom (repeats)
If ye be risen, risen --risen in Christ in Christ
Set your affections, affections, on the things of the kingdom
Whatsoever things are true?
Whatsoever things are honest?
Whatsoever things are just?
Whatsoever things are pure?
Whatsoever lovely?
What's good report?
Of the renewing of your mind
Your righteous mind
Don't you think it's time?
To reconnect with your righteous mind
Your righteous mind
See your righteous mind is a faith mind
Your righteous mind is a miracle mind
Jesus came and He did it
Your righteous mind
Time for you to get with it
Your righteous mind
Don't you think is time?
Let this mind that's in Christ Jesus
be in you
Guard your hearing
Be careful what you're listening
Guard your seeing
Be careful what you're looking at
Guard your speaking
Be careful what you're saying
Guard your heart
Your righteous mind
This is a higher level of thinking
Your righteous mind
Don't you think is time?
Your righteous mind
To elevate your mind
Your righteous mind
Jesus came and he did it
Your righteous mind
Time for you to get with it
Your righteous mind
Don't you think is time?
Let this mind .. Christ Jesus
Be in you
You're not a natural being having a spiritual experience,
But your spiritual being having a natural experience!
I think right here I just need a little help from you
Let go your natural thinking
Embrace your righteous mind
(repeats)
Your righteous mind

Meaning & Inspiration
“YRM (Your Righteous Mind)” calls for thought patterns shaped by Christ rather than by unguarded influences. The opening language draws directly from the New Testament command to set the mind on things above. Its list of what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and commendable then turns Philippians 4:8 into a practical examination of attention, speech, and desire.
The recurring phrase “Your righteous mind” presents renewal as a distinctly Christian way of thinking. References to guarding hearing, sight, speech, and heart broaden that theme beyond private ideas to daily habits. The line about letting the mind of Christ be present closely reflects Philippians 2:5, while the appeal to reconnect suggests an ongoing discipline rather than a single emotional moment. Faith, miracles, and spiritual identity are joined to careful discernment, making the song an exhortation to direct the whole inner life toward Christ and the priorities of his kingdom.
