Shachah Lyrics

“and it’s an ongoing day to day thing not like it let’s up on the day you get saved”
Chorus:
Things change some things stay the same but I know we belong together one in the same and we could press on my brother stand strong my brother learn to find a better way
Verse1:
See every man has a breaking point a unique struggle a personal downfall for some it’s more subtle for others it’s apparently obvious facing what is common to man when temptation grips all of us and it’s an ongoing day to day thing not like it lets up on the day you get saved it’s the flesh or the spirit who you wanna entertain I was buried with the Christ that old man is in the grave now I’m alive to the spiritual side new eyes open wide with the spirit to guide transformed and revived now a branch in the vine to survive I only have to abide and I’m far from perfect a work in progress in fact I am certain a worthless object I stumble and I still fall often I am not alone it’s a daily process but I guess...
Verse 2:
The mediator between God and man was among us lived as we live a man with a mother He felt the same things we feel like emotion and hunger yet still was the God of wonders He knew what it was like to be tempted constantly tested yet was without sin perfection and thus He can sympathize with our weakness God can relate from a place of completeness now that’s divine love one of a kind love it’s that agape once in a lifetime love that He’s extended unto man to partake in love that will never see the righteous forsaken love that will never fade dull or diminish all praise unto The Most High God who’s infinite things change and these days are getting harder to live in but the Father hasn’t forgotten His children now just listen...
Bridge:
So when it’s hard times I’m facing I’m looking to You only to You to reign over me with Your patience and wash me over with truth the world keeps moving and changing but You are the Ancient of Days and so amazing more than I’m able to say oh when things change you remain the same
The song "Things Change" by Shachah is about the struggles and temptations that people face every day. The lyrics acknowledge that everyone has a breaking point and personal struggles that they must face. The chorus expresses the idea that even though things may change, some things stay the same, and we must press on and find a better way. The song acknowledges that we are all a work in progress and imperfect, but we belong together and can stand strong together with the guidance of the spiritual side.
The first verse emphasizes the ongoing nature of the struggle between the flesh and the spirit, and the importance of choosing which one to entertain. The lyrics mention that the old self is in the grave and we are alive to the spiritual side, with new eyes open wide. The singer acknowledges that they are far from perfect and stumble often, but they are transformed and revived with the spirit to guide them. The second verse talks about the mediator between God and man, who lived as a human yet was without sin. The lyrics express the idea that God can sympathize with our weakness from a place of completeness, and the love He extends to us is one of a kind.
The bridge is a reminder that when facing difficult times, we should look to God to reign over us with His patience and wash us over with truth. Although things in the world may change constantly, God remains the same and is always amazing. The song encourages listeners to persevere through struggles and temptations with the guidance of the spiritual side and the support of others who belong together.
