Verso 1

They say I’m disillusioned
Like that’s a bad thing
To let go of a lie
In search of the light
A glimmer of truth
I’m not disenchanted
And don’t you say I’m quitting
I’m still chasing behind
The love of my life
Just the wineskin is new

Refrão

I’m not losing my faith
I’m just losing bad religion
I’m not walking away
But toward a clearer vision
I’m not leaving the church
Not while she's in this condition
I’m not losing my faith
I’m just trying to find a way
To keep on calling myself Christian

Verso 2

I’m not disengaging
Can’t you see I’m wrestling
I’m in the embrace
The struggle of faith
It’s alive and it’s well
I’m not deconstructing
Can’t you see I’m building
A temple of grace
A wideopen space
Where I can be real

Refrão

I’m not losing my faith
I’m just losing bad religion
I’m not walking away
But toward a clearer vision
I’m not leaving the church
Not while she's in this condition
I’m not losing my faith
I’m just trying to find a way
To keep on calling myself Christian

Ponte

Any kind of faith worth holding
Will surely flourish in the dark
‘Cause my questions are directions
To the very heart of God

Refrão

I’m not losing my faith
I’m just losing bad religion
I’m not walking away
But toward a clearer vision
I’m not leaving the church
Not while she's in this condition
I’m not losing my faith

Repete

I’m not losing my faith
I’m just trying to find a way
To keep on calling myself Christian
