Here Today

“Different on Purpose” is a gentle yet powerful folk-worship anthem about finding peace in who God made you to be. It’s a song for anyone who’s felt out of place — chasing approval, losing themselves in expectation, only to be found again by grace. With its earthy acoustic tones, ambient textures, and heartfelt honesty, it celebrates the beauty of living authentically, resting in God’s design rather than the world’s demands. It’s not rebellion — it’s redemption. A quiet declaration that you’re set apart on purpose.

I tried to fit where I didn’t belong
Wore a smile, but I felt so wrong
Ran through the years chasing approval
Lost myself in what looked useful

I hit the bottom more than once
Tried to fix what time had done
But You met me where I lost my way
And turned the night into a brighter day

I’m different on purpose
Set apart by grace
Don’t need the same rhythm
To run this race
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
I’m learning to rest
In a life that’s raw

I burned out on the noise and show
Religion took more than it ever sowed
But You came whispering peace again
You found me hiding deep within

Now mornings start with bread and wine
Your Word and pen and quiet time
I walk these streets with love to give
And call it purpose — because it is

I’m different on purpose
Set apart by grace
Don’t need the same rhythm
To run this race
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
I’m learning to rest
In a life that’s raw

I don’t need a title
I don’t need applause
The smallest kindness
Can shake the walls
A gentle word, a quiet grace, a song
This is the kingdom
Where I belong

I’m different on purpose
And that’s okay
You’re writing my story
In Your own way
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
Now I’m finally home
Where my heart feels more

Different on purpose
And perfectly Yours

Running After You
