The radio version of "Same God" was released on June 17, 2022, making it the second single from the album.
Chris Brown of Elevation Worship spoke about song, saying: "I hope the song portrays His character and nature in a way that takes people on a journey and reminds people that we're a part of a great cloud of witnesses that have seen this same faithful God make good on His promises to the generations before us, and those to come after."
Composition
"Same God" is a pop-centric piano ballad, which is composed in the key of D♭ with a tempo of 72.5 beats per minute, and a musical time signature of 44. The lyrics of the song describe "the consistent and unchanging nature of God's wisdom, power, goodness and generosity toward His children."
Critical reception
Timothy Yap, reviewing for JubileeCast, opined in his review that the song "has the word "classic worship song" written all over it." Jonathan Andre in his 365 Days of Inspiring Media review opined that "this 8 minute track (it's way too long!) sounds like we're treating God like a genie in a bottle ready to fulfil everything we want rather than what He wants. I'll admit though, this song does have passion and a firm belief that God will do miracles for us when we ask."
