The Change
Embracing Transformation: Steven Curtis Chapman's Call for Change
Lyrics
Well I got myself a t shirt that says what I believe
Expressing the possession of a T-shirt that reflects personal beliefs.
I got letters on my bracelet to serve as my id
Wearing a bracelet with letters serving as identification.
I got the necklace and the key chain
Possessing a necklace and keychain, emphasizing items associated with Christianity.
And almost everything a good christian needs yeah
List of items that a good Christian might have, suggesting adherence to religious symbols.
I got the little bible magnets on my refrigerator door
Decorating the refrigerator with Bible magnets.
And a welcome mat to bless you before you walk across my floor
Having a welcome mat as a gesture of blessing for visitors.
I got a jesus bumper sticker
Displaying a Jesus bumper sticker on the car.
And the outline of a fish stuck on my car
Having a fish outline, a common Christian symbol, on the car.
And even though this stuff's all well and good yeah
Acknowledging the value of these symbols but questioning their deeper significance.
I cannot help but ask myself
Raising self-reflective questions about the true impact of these symbols.
What about the change
Pondering the need for personal transformation.
What about the difference
Questioning the tangible difference in behavior and attitude.
What about the grace
Raising the issue of grace in one's life.
What about forgiveness
Asking about the concept of forgiveness in the context of personal growth.
What about a life that's showing
Seeking a life that manifests positive change.
I'm undergoing the change yeah
Expressing an acknowledgment of undergoing a transformative process.
I'm undergoing the change
Reiterating the ongoing nature of personal change.
Well I've got this way of thinking that comes so naturally
Describing a self-centered worldview that needs to be addressed.
Where I believe the whole world is revolving around me
Acknowledging a need for a shift in perspective.
And I got this way of living that I have to die to every single day
Recognizing the daily struggle to align with spiritual beliefs.
'cause if god's spirit lives inside of me yeah
Highlighting the transformative power of God's spirit within.
I'm gonna live life differently
Committing to living life differently under the influence of God's spirit.
I'm gonna have the change
Affirming the intention to undergo a positive change.
I'm gonna have the difference
Expressing a commitment to making a tangible difference.
I'm gonna have the grace
Desiring to embody grace in one's actions.
I'm gonna have forgiveness
Expressing a commitment to forgiveness as part of personal growth.
I'm gonna live a life that's showing
Committing to living a life that reflects positive change.
I'm undergoing the change
Affirming the ongoing process of personal transformation.
What about the change
Raising the question again about the need for change.
What about the difference
Reiterating the question about making a difference in one's life.
What about the grace
Emphasizing the importance of grace in the process of change.
What about forgiveness
Reiterating the question about the role of forgiveness in personal growth.
I want to live a life that's showing
Expressing the desire to live a life that visibly reflects positive change.
I'm undergoing the change
Reiterating the acknowledgment of undergoing a transformative process.
