Lyrics
Not the same ever since the saviour found me
Not the same since He turned my life around
My sins have been covered by His blood
Praise His name, I'm not the same
Old things have passed away behold all things are new
I'm a new creation forgiven through and through
My past has been erased through Jesus I am free
And by His saving grace there's been a change in me
Not the same ever since the saviour found me
Not the same since He turned my life around
My sins have been covered by His blood
Praise His name, I'm not the same
I will not be conformed to this world and its ways
He renews my spirit with mercy everyday
He gives me peace of mind and life abundantly
I won't be turning back I've tasted victory
I've tasted victory
Not the same ever since the saviour found me
Not the same since He turned my life around
My sins have been covered by His blood
Praise His name, I'm not the same
Not the same (not the same) ever since the saviour found me
(I'm not the same) Not the same since He turned my life around
My sins (my sins) have been (have been) covered by His blood
Praise His name, I'm not the same
(I'm not the same)
Praise His name, I'm not the same
(I'm not the same)
Praise Him, I'm not the same
(I'm not the same)

Meaning & Inspiration
“Not the Same” celebrates the change associated with salvation in Christ. Its chorus places that change in forgiveness: sin is covered by Christ’s blood, and the former life no longer defines the believer. The verses develop that confession through biblical language about old things passing away, new creation, freedom, grace, and a renewed mind.
The song does not describe transformation as a merely private feeling. It contrasts a former way of life with an ongoing refusal to conform to the world. Mercy, peace, abundant life, and victory become signs of a new direction, while the repeated declaration gives the testimony a public, celebratory tone. Second Corinthians 5:17 is the clearest scriptural parallel because the lyrics closely echo its language of new creation. Romans 12:2 supports the call to resist conformity and receive renewal, and Ephesians 1:7 connects redemption and forgiveness with Christ’s blood. Together, these references frame the song’s central claim: saving grace gives both a changed standing and a changed course.
