Verse 1:
Man my life is different now
I can't take the credit, God take a bow
They said, “Redd, yo His hand is on ya
Time to live a diamond life, forget zirconia!
Why go for the fake, when you can have authentic
Time to call the Doctor, man, your soul is sin-sick!”
I've been there too, so I'm making a plea, I'm not better than
I used to make a waterbed up in quicksand
Partied hard, like my friend was the second hand
But God was calling, and so I surrendered to His plan
I'm different, Christ on my heart standing
God made me new, old ways I abandoned
I don't need the high off a spliff or a bong
Jesus my high now and why I write songs
Saved by His grace, and not by my works I
Used to club hop, now I rock in the church, I
Ain't ashamed, now I live for my King
Started with “God said,” not the “Big Bang”
Christ came in switched up the sin game
Now, I'ma live forever like “Fame”
Chorus:
Maaaan, I'm different now
Can't take the credit, God take a bow
If you can't understand understand I'ma tell you how
God came, did a change and I'm different now
Maaaan, I'm Different Now
Can't take the credit, God take a bow
If you can't understand understand I'ma tell you how
God came, did a change and I'm different now
I'm different now (heeey), I'm different now (heeey)
I'm different now (heeey), I'm different now (heeeey)
Verse Two:
Satan condemned, but Christ, He appealed it
God'll take a life of misery and He'll heal it
From the ground up, from the inside to the out
Forget popularity and trying to get clout
I never thought someone could love like this
Take a cynic, and sit him down and explain who He is
Life full of panic like attacks and alarms
Heart been stung by the enemy's swarms?
God'll let you vent, talk about about your life's harms
Then wash away your pain with a wrap from His arms
Yeah, that's the God I gave my life to
And when you meet Him, guaranteed you'll give your life too
Hard to imagine that God's got kids
And that His firstborn, He let bleed and die for my sins
Seems wild, in three days, He flew the coop
And coming back any day now? I'm feelin' you
It takes faith to believe it, that's how you can see
It's a matter of the heart, not theology
How many reasons to believe? A million and three
But here's one: just look at how He changed ME
Chorus:
Maaaan, I'm different now
Can't take the credit, God take a bow
If you can't understand understand I'ma tell you how
God came, did a change and I'm different now
Maaaan, I'm Different Now
Can't take the credit, God take a bow
If you can't understand understand I'ma tell you how
God came, did a change and I'm different now
I'm different now (heeey), I'm different now (heeey)
I'm different now (heeey), I'm different now (heeeey)
Verse Three:
So therefore, since I'm justified
Just as if I'd never sinned, I'm given a right
Standing with God, through faith and I'm clean
Christ Rules Everything Around Me--C.R.E.A.M.!
I pick up my Cross, and my Movement's swift
You need His presence; He gave us the gift
Christ did it, He smashed all of the curses
Shotput d**h and hurdle jumped hearses
Life needed change like piggy banks and purses
I had to stop reading 'em and become the verses
He got Power in His Hands, and won't renig ‘em
Christ got all the gold so girl, why don't you dig Him?
His mercy endures forever plus one day
Cause He heard that you were pondering a new way
New talk, new mind, new potnahs
New Friday night flow, new heart, just
Consider it, Christ made a better life mine
We the branches, and Jesus is the true vine
Drownin' in life? God'll throw you the lifeline
Forget the thrill, God'll love you for a lifetime
Chorus:
Maaaan, I'm different now
Can't take the credit, God take a bow
If you can't understand understand I'ma tell you how
God came, did a change and I'm different now
Maaaan, I'm Different Now
Can't take the credit, God take a bow
If you can't understand understand I'ma tell you how
God came, did a change and I'm different now
I'm different now (heeey), I'm different now (heeey)
I'm different now (heeey), I'm different now (heeeey)
