We’re Peculiar People Lyrics
Verse 1
Some of us are quiet
Some of us are loud
All of us are grateful
None of us is proud
We are not what we used to be
We are better off by far
And if you haven’t guessed by now,
We’ll tell you who we are.
Chorus
We are peculiar people
We rejoice when things go wrong
We shed tears when we are happy
We sing a glad new song
We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus
We are the children of the heavenly King
And If you care to join us
Just come along and sing
Verse 2
Everyday is exciting , it is a new surprise
Miracles just happen, right before our eyes
But We don’t question where it ends,
For we already know
That if our King should come today
To heaven we will go.
Chorus
We are peculiar people
We rejoice when things go wrong
We shed tears when we are happy
We sing a glad new song
We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus
We are the children of the heavenly King
And If you care to join us
Just come along and sing
Notes
The hymn We’re Peculiar People is a joyful declaration of the unique identity of Christians as God’s chosen people. For a believer, this song reinforces the biblical truth found in 1 Peter 2:9, which describes Christians as a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people.
The first verse highlights the humility and gratitude of believers, emphasizing that they are transformed and no longer what they used to be. This transformation is through Jesus Christ, who redeems and renews lives.
The chorus explains what makes Christians peculiar—they find joy even in hardships, cry out of happiness, and sing songs of faith because their hope is in Christ, not in worldly circumstances.
The second verse describes the excitement of a faith-filled life, where miracles occur and believers live with the anticipation of heaven.
Ultimately, this hymn encourages Christians to embrace their identity in Christ and rejoice in the hope of eternal life.
