Not The Same
Crystal Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to be mean
Couldn't care bout a thing
Livin' for me and all of my needs
I was self-serving
Yet desperate and hurting
In need to be

Not the same
No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jesus has changed me
Not the same

Its all for you
All that I am
All that I do
Ive given in to life-giving truth
Ive come to believe
I can be new
He took my sin
Gave peace within
Took all my doubt
Assured my of Him
Hes now why I live
My life is His

Not the same
No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jesus has changed me
Not the same

All that I was and
All that I wanted to be
All that has changed
For I am not the same anymore
All that I am and
All that I ever will be
Hes now why I live

Not the same
No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah




Jesus has changed me
Not the same
