Back when I was seventeen

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, naw

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 the 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

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, naw

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

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 (Different)

Saw my potential (Different)

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 (Different)

Like I can (Different)

Look at me (Different)

I'm born again (Different)

It wasn't easy (Different)

What I've been through (Different)

I'm stronger now (Different)

Now I can help you (Different)

You'll be different (Different)

Oh, yeah (Different)

I'm different (Different)

Different (Different)

Look at me (Different)

Oo-oo-oo-ooh (Different)

Different (Different)

Oh-oh-oh-ohh (Different)
