Meaning & Inspiration
People Just Like Us is a mission-minded song about the whole world following Jesus. The opening verse says every nation, power and tongue will bow to His name, every eye will see and every ear hear it proclaimed, and the cry of the church is that Jesus is the only name by which man can be saved. The chorus declares that all over the world people just like the singers are calling His name, living in His love and following Jesus.
The bridge repeats worshipping, following and calling on Jesus, and the tag says the news makes a person want to dance, sing and shout that Jesus is king. The themes come from Philippians 2:10-11 on every knee and tongue, Acts 4:12 on the only name, Revelation 7:9 on people from every nation, and Matthew 28:19. The upbeat tone and shouted tag make it a lively song of global witness.
