10 inspiring songs to listen to during coronavirus quarantine
'People' by Jonathan McReynolds
Award-winning gospel singer Jonathan McReynolds’ new single, “People,” could not have been released at a better time. The song describes McReynolds experience of being hurt by people and his prayer to God on how to move past his disappointment in humanity.
In a recent interview with The Christian Post, the singer, author and Columbia College faculty member said the song’s release comes at an interesting time, while everyone is in quarantine. However, the true meaning is about not esteeming people more than God.
Read through some of the lyrics below.
They are the best and the worst you've created
Loving and hating and opinionated
Loners in basements and those congregated
Deliver me
Far from the peace, from ashore I was sinking
Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking
Don't know what validation I was seeking
Deliver me from
People, people
When you said you could heal me from many things
Did you mean
People, people
Deliver me
'Cause I can't point 'em out
I won't say their names
I don't know the damage
Or which one to blame
It's just people, people
Deliver me
She was the reason I smiled in the morning
He took the last bit of joy I was storing
That's too much power for anything human
