Jonathan McReynolds - New Normal Lyrics
Lyrics:
We gotta get out of here, you all mind if I do one more?
Let’s go!
Good morning
It’s not just something to say
I feel it
There’s a difference today
The blues are gone
I’m finally out the gray
Writings on the wall
Have been erased
Yeah the sun is shining
And you’re in alignment
And it’s all God’s timing
He knows what He’s doing
When they see you smiling
And your faith is rising
Don’t you get shy now
Tell them get comfortable
‘Cause
This your new normal
Favor ain’t fair
But it’s all on ya
Oh yeah
This your new normal
Blame it on God
He made a way for it
Oh yeah
And it’s all all all
On you
On you
It’s all all all
On you
Yeah
This your new normal
Favor ain’t fair
But it’s all on ya
All on you
Good evening
The only kind you should take
Bye bye now
To all that kept you awake
Go to sleep smiling
Even in the fire
Fresh grace
Comes with a brand new day
And it’s all all all
On you
On you
It’s all all all
On you
Yeah
This your new normal
Favor ain’t fair
But it’s all on ya
All on you
(Get up)
There’s a brand new mercy
Waiting for you
Whenever you
(Wake up)
And a bunch of grace for yesterday
So go and pick your
(Head up)
Everything’s about to elevate
Elevate
So go ahead and get comfortable ‘cause
This your new normal
This your new normal
Let the favor of God
Be upon your house
You should change your words
That come out your mouth
And it’s all all all
On you
On you
It’s all all all
On you
Yeah
This your new normal
Favor ain’t fair
But it’s all on ya
All on you

Context & Meaning
- Theme: The song centers on the concept of a spiritual "reset." It describes moving from a season of depression or stagnancy ("The blues are gone / I’m finally out the gray") into a season of God's favor.
- The "New Normal": McReynolds redefines the phrase—often used negatively to describe life after a crisis—to instead describe a permanent state of blessing, peace, and alignment with God ("Favor ain’t fair / But it’s all on ya").
- Live Performance: The official video captures a live performance, emphasizing the communal and energetic nature of the song. McReynolds is known for blending acoustic, soulful sounds with transparent, conversational lyrics, and this track follows that style with an upbeat, celebratory tempo.
Key Lyrics Analysis
- "Favor ain't fair": A common adage in the church, referring to the theological belief that God's grace is a gift that cannot be earned by merit alone.
- "Writings on the wall have been erased": Likely references the biblical story of Daniel (Daniel 5), but here inverted to mean that a sentence of doom or judgment has been cleared away.
- "Elevate": The bridge serves as a call to action for the listener to "pick your head up" and accept this new season of grace.
