Once a true believer

Once there was a fire in your soul

You were the epitome of blessed faith astir

With thirst for holiness

And hunger for the Word

Now you move in other circles

To the beat of different drums

And I see only glimpses of the one you used to be

The inspiration that you were to me



(CHORUS)

I miss the way His love would dance within your eyes

I miss the way His heart was the soul of your life

And somewhere in the saddest part of Heaven's room

Our Father sheds a tear for you

He's missing you, too



Some are calling you a prodigal

Some aren't calling you at all

But far away someone is calling you back home

Do you hear it anymore, out there on your own



(CHORUS)



Once a true believer...
