John Elefante Not Just Any Other Day Lyrics

Not Just Any Other Day Lyrics

Just another early morning as the sun begins to rise

Like a million other
mornings just the same

The people of the town begin their ordinary
lives

Unsuspecting of a world about to change



This was not
just any other day...no

Not just any other day



Little did
they know that on the other side of town

The sin of all humanity would
bleed beneath a crown

Of a man whose only blame was being born a king



(Chorus)

And I wish that I could have felt the rain on me

I
wish that I could have felt that rain

I would have looked into Your dying
eyes and

stared at You in disbelief and thought,

"Is this what
you've been telling me 2000 years!"



It was business as usual,
nothing different at all

As dusk would cast a shadow and the night began
to fall

But no one stopped to notice that before this day would end

The sick and the afflicted needn't ever hurt again



Not just any
other day...

It was not just any other day



As a small crowd
gathered just beneath the dying Son

The fulfillment of a promise had been
done



And I wish that I could have felt that rain on me

I wish
that I could have felt that rain

I would have heard with my own ears

As you shouted out in fear and said,

"Father why have You forsaken Me!"
