Last night, I walked out on a stage To a thousand people screamin' They roared the more they heard His name And I wondered had it lost its meanin' Some make music for the ears of God Some just do it for the money Some say His words so nonchalant And I couldn't help but think We left His truth behind That the power of it all Has somehow made us blind To the other side of the world Where people are dying While we're trying to stay alive one more day On the other side of the world Where they are broken While we're choking on the goodness of our faith I heard a preacher on my TV set He said that success was mine for the donation He sold me gimmicks to cover his debt But he could not sell me salvation, no All this talk about prosperity With little talk about sacrifice I know that Jesus could truly bless me
But you see, my God is not no credit card And He wants me to serve Him By taking up His cross To the other side of the world Where people are dying While we're trying to stay alive one more day Oh-oh, on the other side of the world Where they are broken While we're choking on the goodness of our faith Oh-oh, oh, yeah On the other side of the world People are dying While we're trying to stay alive one more day On the other side of the world Where they are broken While we're choking on the goodness of... On the other side of the world On the other side of the world On the other side of the world, oh... On the other side of the world On the other side of the world Did you hear them cryin' Did you see them dyin' Just the other side of the world
