McReynolds, Jonathan - No Gray Lyrics






Yeah I wrote this song
And I pray that you listen to all the words
Cause I feel like at some point in everybody's life
We feel like this

Lord, I'm split in two
Part of me loves the world
And the other loves You
So, what do I do
I wanna be saved
But I got to stay cool, too
And no I'm not a fool
I know eventually I'm gonna have to choose
And, really I don't wanna lose
My ticket into heaven
And a chance to be used by You

[Chorus:]
And if it's God that I'm after
I just can't serve two masters
And before something happens
I got to turn it all around
Because I know
I can't just have my cake and eat it too
Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn't work like that
You gotta to be white or black

See I've realized
When it comes to sin
You just don't compromise
It's a matter of death and life
Be weak and do wrong
Or be strong and do right
And I don't wanna keep going to church
Singing all about how much You're worth
And then continue doing my dirt
Living as if I didn't care if You're hurt

[Chorus]

Lord I really need you to help me
Get it together
Saints, we really gotta
Get it together

[Chorus]

No it don't work like that
You gotta be white or black

No Gray
No shades of gray

Don't work like that
No gray

    I'm just asking because in a world where black people who are hated for who they are: in strength/skill/size/looks people from all different walks of life are going through things because they may be trying to fit in to what I believe are -the world's standard-. which I thought was WRONG 😕 What color is Jonathan choosing? where in the bible does it say you have to be a color lol? I'm so curious. At the end of the day I choose BLACK - I love me for who I am, no one is going to live the life that My little family needs, but I choose Jesus because He died for all of our sins right. Can anyone see that I'm asking because I feel a bit brainwash or MISLEADING is occurring and things will continue to as they are as long as these WORLD leaders are leading us to believe that we must WAR AND PILLAGE and leave people in the dust because they are choosing literal skin color and not any means of good nature and faith.

  4. M.... F....

    This is my life, and I want to be right but as a teenager it’s hard so please pray for my success people in the comments

    A.... N....

    It's not hard. It's a mind thing. Resist the devil(lies deception) and he Will flee. Expose your mind continually to the truth so you leave him no room with lies. You not of this world

    A.... N....

    Me and God are fighting with you brother

  20. E.... L....

    I was 1 when this song was made. 🤗

  21. F.... N....

    Beautiful song

  22. C.... E....

    White => stands for purification (light)
    Black => darkness
    Grey=> blended
    Darkness and purity doesn’t mix! If we are of the world, we are not of God. The Holy Spirit isn’t going to share the same space with satan. If you accepted Christ Jesus inside of your heart as your personal Lord and savior, but still living in sin; it’s because you are still conformed to the world instead of being transformed by the renewing of your mind by the word of God. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God

  23. W.... G....

    “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

  46. N.... I....

    Wao i need to go back to the God

  47. J.... M....

    I come from a religious family, but I'm not that religious. I had a great friend. She was amazing, but that was all she was, a friend. She was super religious, but she wasn't talking about god all day, we would talk about all sorts of things. She showed me this song one day, and I loved it. As she strayed away from me (I soon find out she has a boyfriend) I was left wondering what I did wrong. I soon realized it wasn't me, it was her. I want to forget her because I've been feeling bad about her lately. Losing a girlfriend or getting rejected is one thing, but losing a good friend hits different. As I said, I'm not that religious, but I listen to this song a lot because I just can't help myself from thinking about her and crying. Also because it's so beautiful.

  48. r.... k....

    I really wish I would've known of Jonathan back in 2012. Extremely anointed songwriter, his lyrics will have you up all night just thinking about how you need to improve your relationship with God. Definitely did that to me 😉

    Thanks Jonathan

  72. J.... G....

    Hey MR.E

  73. G.... N....

    NO GRAY, IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT....YAAAAASSSSSSSS

  74. L.... o....

    Literally me. It’s hard not to live in the flesh and to become spiritually closer to god. But of course we have to have our OWN connection with god. But it’s hard to not sin consistently because of the influence we have around us. But pray that god mend my heart, mind & soul, & make me more like him, and let me be HIS rare sheep that he wants me to be💛🙌🏾.

  75. L.... B....

    Sing the song man🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙
