[Verse 1:]
Been a hard one, Been a bad one
Been a tough one, Been a sad one
It's been one of those days that keeps chipping away at my heart
Nothing new here, It's what I do here
It's a stereotypical day, in the life
I'm surrounded by all of the pain and the strife
But I know it's alright, woah oh
[Chorus:]
Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
Cause it's only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me
Do do do do do do do do do, yeah it's only the world
[Verse 2:]
Anybody can you hear me?
Do you feel me? I mean, do you feel me?
I know I'm not the only one wearing the weight in this world
We got problems (said it's alright)
Just remember (yeah, it's alright)
Take a good look around we're just stuck on the ground for a little while
Don't it make you smile
[Chorus:]
Cause it's only the world I'm living in (Yeah)
It's only today I've been given(Yeah)
There ain't no way I'm giving in
Cause it's only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me
Do do do do do do do do do, yeah it's only the world
Do do do do do do do do do, yeah it's only the world
[Bridge:]
Heaven is a place where the tears on every face will be wiped away
And I can't wait to go, but for now it's enoughto know
This is only temporary this is only, Yeah, Alright!
[Chorus:]
Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only the day I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
Cause it's only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me
Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only tod I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
Cause it's only the world (only the world)
I know the best is still yet to come
Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me
(So much more than only the world, yeah)
Do do do do do do do do do, yeah it's only the world
Do do do do do do do do do, yeah it's only the world
"Only The World" is a powerful and uplifting song by Mandisa that reminds us that the challenges we face in this world are temporary and that there is so much more waiting for us in eternity. The song encourages us to not give in or lose hope, but to hold on to the promise that the best is yet to come.
The lyrics of the song speak to the struggles and difficulties that we all face in our everyday lives. Mandisa sings about the hard and bad days, the pain and strife that surround us. It's a relatable experience for many of us, as we navigate through a world filled with trials and tribulations.
But amidst all the hardships, Mandisa reminds us that it's only the world we're living in. This line is a powerful reminder that our current circumstances do not define us and that there is a greater reality beyond this world. It's a perspective that helps us to keep going and not give up.
The inspiration for this song comes from the hope and assurance found in Scripture. One verse that relates to the theme of the song is Romans 8:18, which says, "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." This verse echoes the message of "Only The World," reminding us that the challenges we face now are nothing compared to the joy and glory that awaits us in heaven.
Another verse that aligns with the song's message is 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, which says, "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." These verses encourage us to look beyond our current circumstances and focus on the eternal promises of God.
The song also highlights the importance of persevering and not giving in to despair. It's a reminder that even when our days in this world are done, there's so much more waiting for us. This echoes the words of Jesus in John 16:33, where He says, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." This verse reminds us that Jesus has already overcome the world, and as His followers, we are called to trust in Him and find hope in His victory.
In conclusion, "Only The World" by Mandisa is a powerful song that encourages us to hold on to hope and not give in to the challenges we face. It reminds us that our current struggles are temporary and that there is so much more waiting for us beyond this world. Through its lyrics and the inspiration of Scripture, the song reminds us to fix our eyes on the eternal promises of God and to trust in His faithfulness.
