Not The Same Lyrics

I saw an old friend just the other day, he didn't have much to say
I could see that fire down inside, somehow died
He told me nothing's like it used to be, and I could clearly see
His faith was fading more and more, so help me Lord
I could see that longing in his eyes
For the love of Christ, so I said

I can see now, that things are changing, you're not the same
And I can't stand here and watch you fall
So take my hand and let's walk together, I'll be your brother
And show you just how much He cares for you

Do you have a friend that used to know Him, now living in sin
Do you think they'll find their way back home, on their own
We can't afford to ignore their cries, we're running out of time
We need to think about the way Christ loves us
You know that Jesus loves them too
It's up to me and you

Two, close, intertwined beings once joined together
Now separated by desires by one or the other
And with one so perfect, I dare not begin to deny
The fact that there is only one guilty and that is I
One might ask themselves the question of fact vs. fiction
The underlying question of how to use your soul to listen
And it's my mission to see my homies come back
The truth that got them this far might get them on the right track
