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 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 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 Once a true believer
