When I Bear His Name

Verse 1 Got a cross hangin’ from my rearview mirror Sunday faith, but Monday’s mine Talk about truth like I’ve got it down Still I blend in with the world around Got opinions louder than a prayer Scroll past God's call like it’s not there I say I’m saved, washed white as snow But I’m livin’ half-hearted, and it shows Chorus When did I grow cold, Lord, lose the fire? How’d my heart fill up with cheap desire? Money and comfort, politics and pride All this quiet indifference I try to hide You didn’t save my soul so I'd stay the same Grace ain’t a pass to dodge real change If I’ve been reborn and bear Your name I oughta look like Jesus — not just make the claim Verse 2 You said love your neighbor as yourself But I keep my mercy stored on a shelf You said care for all those in need Instead I chase what keeps me at ease It ain’t about rules carved in stone It’s a heart made new, no longer my own When You make a dead heart beat again He loves in ways I've never planned Chorus When did I grow cold, Lord, lose the fire? How’d my heart fill up with cheap desire? Money and comfort, politics and pride All this quiet indifference I try to hide You didn’t save my soul so I'd stay the same Grace ain’t a pass to dodge real change If I’ve been reborn and bear Your name I oughta look like Jesus — not just make the claim Verse 3 (softer and reflective) Break this stone and make it flesh Pull these idols from my chest Burn away what still remains Till mercy’s running through my veins You didn’t save my soul just to play it safe You saved me, Lord, to walk Your way If I’ve been reborn, washed in grace I oughta look like Jesus in this place Short Chorus When did I grow cold, Lord, lose the fire? How’d my heart fill up with cheap desire? Money and comfort, politics and pride All this quiet indifference I try to hide Final Chorus When did I grow cold, Lord, lose the fire? How’d my heart fill up with cheap desire? Money and comfort, politics and pride All this quiet indifference I try to hide You didn’t save my soul so I'd stay the same Grace ain’t a pass to dodge real change If I’ve been reborn and bear Your name I oughta look like Jesus every day Outro I oughta look like Jesus every day Because I'm not the same - when I bear His name
