Opposite Way by Leeland

Here's a song by a Christian band called Leeland. Lately God has been putting on my heart that it is okay to be different form the world and that it doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks, only Jesus! God calls us Christians to be sanctified in Him and run the opposite way of the world. I get discouraged when it is difficult to find a strong Christian friend who is striving God's own heart. But then I remember that God is my eternal friend "that sticks closer that a brother." Proverbs 18:24 Everyday, if I pray to Him and have a close relationship with Him and have faith in Him, He will lead me and guide me! He "will be with me, until the very end of the age." Matthew 20:19b Christ ran the opposite way of the world and died on the cross so that I could run the opposite way, too!

Here it is...

Livinging the same town
For all these years
Doing the same old things
Hanging with the same crowd
And it's starting to get crippling

You've never felt in place
And you tell yourself it's all okay
But something's different today
You want to run the opposite way

Chorus:
And it seems like you're locked in a cage
And you couldn't find a way of escape
When everyone is setting the pace
It's okay to run the opposit way

The Father sant His Son down The light of men
The cross He bore was crippling
Rejected in His oun town
They couldn't see the sun shining

He knelt in the garden and prayed
Father, let this cup pass from me
It's not You will for me to stay
You will for me is the opposite way

And it seemed like He was locked in a cage
And He couldn't find a way of escape
But through the grave He conquered the grave
My Jesus ran the opposite way

Oh, and through the cross He counquered the grave
Oh, He ran the opposite way
Yeah, through the cross He conquered the grave
So you could run the opposite way!!
