Different

Back when I was 17
Like every other girl, I used to have big dreams
But then, I got introduced to some other things
And suddenly, the church girl I was originally
(Became different)

See the wrong things can call your name
I chose to answer when the Spirit said, "Walk away!"
And now I live with circumstances that I can't erase
I just wish I could go back now to yesterday
('Cause it was different)

But there's not a hole too deep, no
That God won't reach down and save me, me
See, He cleaned me up and made me new
Said, "Welcome back," and now I'm standing here in front of you, hey

I'm different, y'all, I'm not the same
Ever since I met the savior, see my life has changed
I must admit back in the day I did some crazy things
But that's my past
See, my past has now passed away (now I'm different)

See, I'm different, y'all, I'm not the same
Ever since I met King Jesus, now my life has changed
I must admit back in the day I did some crazy things
But that's my past, see my past has now passed away
'Cause I'm different

I'm human, I'm gon' make mistakes
If and when I do, please show me some grace
'Cause though it may be me who messed up today
It may be your turn tomorrow, then I bet you'll say
(Something different)

'Cause what goes around, comes back around
Those you hurt on your way up, will be there when you're down, down
I used to be the same way
But one Sunday morning something in my heart changed, oh

I'm different, y'all, I'm not the same
Ever since I met the Savior, see my life has changed
I must admit back in the day I did some crazy things
But that's my past, see my past has now passed away
(Now I'm different)

See, I'm different, y'all, I'm not the same
Ever since I met King Jesus, now my life has changed
I must admit back in the day I did some crazy things
But that's my past, see my past has now passed away
'Cause I'm different

But there's not a hole too deep, no
That God won't reach down and save me
See, He cleaned me up and made me new
Said, "Welcome back," and now I'm standing here in front of you, ooh

You can see it (I'm different)
In my walk (different)
Others see it (different)
In how I talk (how I'm different)
I can see it (different)
In how I pray (different)
I start to shed some tears (different)
Each word I say (see, I'm different)

They tell me (I'm different)
Like day and night (different)
I used to go off quick (different)
I'd cuss and fight (but now I'm different)
I'd blame everyone else (different)
For my mistakes (I was different)
If someone got too close (different)
I'd push away (but now I'm different)

But then Jesus (different)
Came in my life (diff')
Saw my potential (diff')
And made it right (see, I'm different)
Not just religion (different)
But something real (different)
It's what I know now (different)
Not what I feel (different)

You can't tell it (diff')
Like I can (diff')
Look at me (diff')
I'm born again (diff')
It wasn't easy (diff')
What I've been through (diff')
I'm stronger now (diff')
Now I can help you (diff')
You'll be different (diff'), oh no, I (diff')

I'm different (diff')
Different (diff')
Look at me (diff'), ooh-ooh (diff')
Different (diff')
Oh-oh (diff'), whoa-oh
