Disciple's song 'Not The Same' challenges superficial judgments within the church, emphasizing that true faith is shown through bearing the cross, not outward appearance. The lyrics call believers to live in the world without conforming to it, demonstrating God's love to others. The song also questions where to find God, suggesting He is present among the hungry, imprisoned, and marginalized, not just in religious institutions. It encourages a faith that is authentic and active, reflecting a transformed life.

How can you be of God?
When you look, when you dress,
when you smell just like the world
Do you see me as being bad,
a friend your children shouldn't have,
just one glance and you know what I'm about
It's not the length of my hair, it's not the clothes that I wear
But it's the cross that I bear
Cause you know that I am
In the world not of it
Cause we gotta show the world He loves them
Even though we look the same we're not the same
God where can I look for you?
What will it look like,
what will it be like when I gaze my eyes on you
Will I find You a hungry man, will I find You in a prison,
or will I find You in the office of a church?
