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 diff erent drums
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
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
