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)
