Natalie Grant, “Human”

Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Natalie Grant is back with Human, the first single off Love Revolution (Curb Records), which drops on August 24, 2010. (That’s three months before Grant and her husband Bernie Herms welcome their third child to the world.) Co-written with American Idol Season Six winner Jordin Sparks, Human‘s lyrics deal with our God-given social responsibility to love and care for others.

My favorite Natalie Grant song to date is Perfect People, owing primarily to Grant’s impassioned delivery and the fact that that song was written by my favorite Contemporary Christian songwriter Matthew West (who, coincidentally, has released a new single titled My Own Little World). Thanks to Human‘s mid-tempo R&B-laced groove, which stands out amidst the pack of frantic guitar-driven anthems and strings-fueled worship ballads, I may very well have a new favorite. It’s certainly unique for Grant, and may very well be one of her biggest hits. What do you think?

HUMAN Lyrics
Natalie Grant

Every life has a choice
To rise above, to fill the void
Every heart has a mission
And we are called to be human

We gotta do better than this
‘Cuz we only got one chance to make a difference
We gotta do better than this
‘Cuz we only got one life that we’ve been given
A little love
A little kindness
A little light in this time of darkness
It’ll be what makes us different
It’ll be what makes us human
I’m human
You’re human
We are human

We are marked with His image
We are scarred with indifference
Maybe now we should listen
Hear the cry of God’s children

We gotta do better than this
‘Cuz we only got one chance to make a difference
We gotta do better than this
‘Cuz we only got one life that we’ve been given
A little love
A little kindness
A little light in this time of darkness
It’ll be what makes us different
It’ll be what makes us human
I’m human
You’re human
We are
We are human

I’m human
You’re human
We are
We are human

I gotta do better than this
‘Cuz I’ve only got one chance to make a difference
I gotta do better than this
‘Cuz I’ve only just one…

I’m human
You’re human
We are human
I’m human
You’re human
We are human

A little love
A little kindness
A little light in this time of darkness
It’ll be what makes us different (different)
It’ll be what makes us human

Oh oh oh
We are human
Oh oh oh (All we need is a little love
We are human

I’m human
You’re human
We are
We are human
