Jeffrey Stephen Lewis - The World Hates Me

If you are preaching the gospel, If you are living the truth
If you have the faith of Christ and the light shining the way it should be
They despise you, they hate you

I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
If you friends with the world then God is your enemy
I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
Cant be friends with the world because the world is my enemy
I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
If you friends with the world than you're your own enemy
I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
If you friends with the world then God is your enemy

My life changed for the better once I let the world go
Trying to impress people that don't want to see me grow
Thinking nothing was wrong with dabbing in a little sin
When someone entices you to sin really aint a true friend
And if they hang with me and if we been friends
They lack the love of God so it turns out sour in the end
Now I don't get invited because im a threat to their fun
On a request to remain holy but I feel like im the only one
Aint you tired of being lonely? Don't you want to be part of a group?
If that group aint following Jesus then they don't walk in truth
Carnal minded people don't understand why you stop coming around
So they get offended and thats when they start talking down
It hurts when its your friends but even worse when its your family
The devil will use anybody to keep you out of good standing
What will a man give in exchange for his soul
Aint nothing more important than living by the words that Jesus spoke

And this world will turn against you
The Bible says you are the savior of death until death
To these people that don't know the Lord and you are
If you are what you should be as a Christian you are their enemy
And being their enemy they want to come and destroy you
The Bible says greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world

The devil will try to make you think that you are going to miss something
And God is old fashioned making you miss a little fun
But thats when satan brings the attitude of compromise
Just hang for a little while mane you aint gonna hurt nobody
But satan is a lie now instead of avoiding sin
You alone feeling guilt saying never be weak again
Wasting time out of Gods will now you got to repent
Being friends with the world is just like chasing the wind
The are going to hate you no matter what you do only love you for a minute
Dont waist time pleasing sinners please God never try to please man
People change like the weather just like changing clothes
And when you change for the better thats when they turn their nose
What fellowship has righteousness and unrighteousness
A believer and an unbeliever, light and darkness
Come out from among them don't touch what is unclean ya
Separate yourself says the Lord and He will receive ya

I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
If you friends with the world then God is your enemy
I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
Cant be friends with the world because the world is my enemy
I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
If you friends with the world than you're your own enemy
I feel the whole world hates me
I feel like everybody hates me
Why does everybody hate me?
If you friends with the world then God is your enemy

Because people now don't have a reason not to like you
They just look at you and don't like you because you match
I mean the Bible calls them despisers of those that are good
All the good you know that you are trying to do people just don't like you
This is a rough time to be alive
