CHRISTMAS – Set Apart Not Above by Bro H
Verse 1 We don’t raise our voice in judgment We don’t point or turn away We’ve just learned to weigh the symbols And the cost of what they say Evergreens and borrowed feasts Candles lit where truth once ceased We searched the roots beneath the show And chose the path our conscience knows Chorus We’re set apart, not set above By conviction, not by scorn We walk in truth, we walk in love Not by custom newly worn No condemnation, no disguise Just a narrower road we’ve found We honor Him with open eyes Standing quietly on holy ground Verse 2 Trees once dressed for winter gods Feasts of excess, songs of old Light and revel, role and mask Stories bought, then bought and sold Saturn’s tables, laughter loud Later dressed in sacred shroud Names were changed, the forms remained And truth was mixed, and blurred, and named Chorus We’re set apart, not set above By conviction, not by scorn We walk in truth, we walk in love Not by custom newly worn We don’t curse what others keep We just guard the ground we stand Truth is something souls must reap Not something forced by human hand Bridge We still gather, still give thanks Still break bread and speak His Name But Christ is more than season’s talk More than symbols, songs, and flame He is blood, and law, and land Kinsman come for His own kin Not a myth, not winter’s charm But covenant fulfilled in Him Verse 3 When asked why we step aside We answer gently, answer plain Not every path that feels sincere Was forged by God or bears His name Holy means set apart, not mixed Not dressed in borrowed skin So we chose the quieter road To honor truth from root to end Final Chorus (soft, resolved) We’re set apart, not set above No applause, no holy show We follow Him with steady love Letting older shadows go Grace for all, no stones to throw Each must walk what they believe We’ve chosen truth, not as a rule But as the way we choose to live Outro Conviction… not condemnation. Set apart… not above
