Kutless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't know why
Everyday that passes by I feel so far away.
I can see in the distance,
You have the rest of me
I put my trust in you, as I look beyond today
It's all becoming clear.
[Chorus]
I do not belong in a world of broken pieces
I was meant to be in the arms of
Your redemption
I am moving on to the place of Your perfection
Cause I do not belong
no I do not belong
When the world is behind me on the day that
I breathe my last
In the face of eternity there's
Hope cause I believe
When I look to the heavens
And the future that you hold
It makes it easier to see beyond today
Now I'm looking to the sky
[Chorus]
This world is not my home
I'm a stranger in this land
But I am not alone
When I do not belong
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
I do not belong
The lyrics of Kutless's "I Do Not Belong" express a sense of alienation and dissatisfaction with the world, as well as a longing for something greater. The singer feels that things have changed and that they are far away from what they truly need. However, they can see in the distance that God has the rest of them and they put their trust in Him. This trust helps them to see beyond the present and look towards the future that God has in store for them.
The chorus reinforces this theme of not belonging to a broken world and instead yearning for the perfection and redemption that can only come from God. The singer believes in the hope of the future and looks towards the sky, where they will ultimately find their true home. The song concludes with a repetition of the title, "I Do Not Belong," which reinforces the idea that the singer's true home is not in this world but in God's loving arms.
Overall, "I Do Not Belong" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that speaks to the universal human experience of feeling disconnected from the world and longing for something greater. Its message of hope and redemption can speak directly to those who feel lost or alone, and it is a powerful reminder of the love and grace of God.

Wow! God is awesome! Just this morning I felt like things were getting too much for me... A lot of things going wrong at the moment. I got a card from a friend of mine yesterday, which I put in my Bible. I opened my Bible where the card was and read Job 1 and 2 and God showed me that everything would be okay! He would help me through the storms in my life... Now I find this song out of millions of songs on youtube? I praise You Lord!!! I'm still Yours!!!

God Bless You! when we can still sing and praise God when we are in pain or loss it is definetly a work of the Spirit bringing us into stability and endurance. Only God can do these kinds of works in our hearts and God bless you for yielding to him, you are learning the secret to true power in Christ.
