The world rushes on about us, 

Its cares and trials weigh heavily; 

Our vision blurred, our minds awhirl –

Meanwhile, God says,

“Come out, and be separate.”

We long to uphold good in this world,

Yet unbelief still persists.

To us who hold our faith in Him,

Gently, God reminds:

“Come out, and be separate.”

Society abounds in sin,

Even moral leaders stumble; 

We who claim righteousness know:

Our God still says,

“Come out, and be separate.”

Souls are shrouded in darkness,

Evil continues to blind; 

But we are children of light, 

To whom God assures,

“Come out, and be separate.”

This earth is Satan’s domain,

His sole desire is to deceive;

But we who belong to Christ hear

God’s voice once more:

“Come out, and be separate.”

Many try to worship idols,

Whether of heart, desire, or goods; 

Because we are God’s true temple,

He calls to us again:

“Come out, and be separate.”

We seek freedom and justice,

And our rights to be upheld; 

Yet if we should pledge loyalty,

“To Me,” God says.

“Come out, and be separate.”

“Come out from among them,” God pleads,

“From those who are not faithful;

I call and invite,

Will you be My separate people?”

“Your purpose lies in My mission, 

To make My voice, not yours, be heard;

Be holy as I am –

Come out, and be separate.”

~

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.’ Therefore ‘Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.’ ‘I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.’”
