Lyrics
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
