[Intro]
Yeah…
One step forward, three steps back
Still You love me through all of that
Yeah…
Same God then
Same God today
[Verse 1]
Think I'm doing good, then the sin creeps in
Same old cycle, same battle again
Say I love God, then I feed my flesh
Take another bite, make another mess
Know what I should do, still I miss the mark
Tryna find the light while I'm stuck in the dark
[Chorus]
I was chasing the world while You carried my weight
I turned my back, but You still chose to stay
I don't deserve it, but You gave me Your grace
You never left me in my darkest days
You never changed, never walked away
Through every storm, through every mistake
Same God then, same God today
Same God then, same God today
[Verse 2]
Caught in a cycle, caught in the noise
Chasing empty promises, counterfeit joys
False idols everywhere, everybody mesmerized
Searching for peace underneath a thousand lies
Thinking something in this world could fill me up
More attention, more success, more stuff
But I learned the hard way what my heart already knew
Everything I chase keeps pointing back to You
The world says, “Take more, you'll finally feel whole”
But nothing temporary can satisfy a soul
What's missing can't be bought, can't be earned, can't be sold
There's a God-sized space only Jesus can hold
So I'm laying down the things I thought I needed
All the empty promises that had me defeated
[Chorus]
I was chasing the world while You carried my weight
I turned my back, but You still chose to stay
I don't deserve it, but You gave me Your grace
You never left me in my darkest days
You never changed, never walked away
Through every storm, through every mistake
Same God then, same God today
Same God then, same God today
[Verse 3]
They say, “Stay in line, don't question a thing
Follow the crowd, let the culture be king”
One jumps first, then the whole world leaps
Everybody moving but nobody sees
But who gon' turn around? Who gon' make a stand?
Who gon' trust God when they don't understand?
I refuse to believe we're accidents in space
I believe every breath is a gift from the King
So let the culture talk, let the world disagree
I don't have all the answers, but I know what I've seen
A God who stays faithful when I'm anything but clean
[Final Chorus]
Caught between the cross and the things that I crave
Sunday I mean it, by Monday I stray
But Your mercy is new every single day
I was chasing the world while You carried the weight
Still You waited for me when I walked away
You never changed, never walked away
Not yesterday, not tomorrow, not today
Same God then, same God today
Same God then, same God
