  • I thought I knew Christ, but the way I was living was far from Him. I finally came to the end of myself, I hit rock bottom, and repented of my sins, and turned from my wicked ways. I have my eyes fixed on Him now, and looking at my life now, "I'm not who I was." Great song

  • fabulous made ...

  • so lovely track!

  • This is one of the best songs I have ever heard! You should like this comment if it is one of your favorites!(:

  • god is great!!! Cz im not who I was @MarvinAndBazooka god bless u an ur fam ur in my prayers

  • I have felt apart from God lately, my family is going through some rough times and I feel lost..... I have noticed that I bury myself under my painting and writing; I am an artist and love literature. This song, which I came to know curtousey of K-Love Radio, changed the way I feel about my wandering mind, because it tells about how it is never too late to be saved. Thank you, and God Bless.

  • @MarvinAndBazooka That's great! I hope and pray that you continue your relationship with God!

  • I love this song!!!!

  • @WhiteDeinos no u don't know anything!! This song isn't about his ex and all his songs are Godly based. This song is actually about his step mom. He was trying to tell her he's changed since the last time the talked

  • Love this song! :)

  • Straight from Brandon's own mouth - this song is about his stepmom. That's all, not his ex, no hidden meanings. Only He is such a much better person now, that he wishes she could see him now, instead of what she saw then.

  • You all, talking about how this is about god and such, im sorry, i have bad news... Its not. Sure, it sounds like it would fit perfectly and all... But its talking about his old ex. Over the time he wasnt with her, he changed. He does things differently now. He does things better. And now hes wanting them to see, because its a better him, then from the time he was with them. He probably used to dress bad, didnt know how to treat a lady, and such. But over time, with experience, hes perfect now.

  • Comment removed

  • i was reading the 2 top comments and both have to do with god... and now i wonder (just because i dont know) is this song about god or not? cause also i don't see what this have to do with god... i just like the song.

  • @pootjeknuffel the song is saying that before he knew God, his life was different compared to now, that he has God in his life. It's a subliminal message but that's the point.

  • @pootjeknuffel Its because he is mostly a christian song writer so everyone takes their own meaning from it.

  • Wow,......That is my favorite Bramdon heath Songs,.......AWESOME,..!!!!!1

  • This song makes me want to cry. It's so beautiful to see where I was last year and where God has brought me. I believe with all of my heart that there is a God who is watching over me and protecting me, and I believe there is a Jesus Christ who died so that I could live and be free from the bondage of the sin that I was born into, as well as the sin I put myself in.

  • great song

  • We all make mistakes and wish we could be better than we were!! The thing is we can be!!! You just have to find your way around you own demons! Just fight past what you can't forgive, learn to forgive yourself and know your not who you were and will NEVER BE THAT PERSON!! GOD BLESS EVERYONE THAT CHANGES THEIR LIFE!!

  • Beautiful... Great subbing and timing, too

  • There's a beer commercial before a Christian song. Interesting...

  • I certainly wish I could tell my parents I've changed

  • I find a video I like, look at who posted it, and a lot of times it's "SoldierBelow."

  • I used to be sad when girls were mean,

    Found out God's love is all I need,

    Now I'm not who I was <3

    K-Love is God's word x)

  • This reminds me of my sister, she ran away in 2004, for all of the wrong reasons. I was almost 7 at the time, it really did break me & I lost a lot of hope & faith during that time, but one day I woke up & felt God telling me it's time to forgive her. She still isn't home, but I believe she's coming home. I love her & if she reads this, I love you for who you are, I wish you knew that. <3

  • this was breath taking(:

  • Be a proud Christian :) it days if u deny Jesus in front of people he will deny you in front of his father

  • I think this song says it all! Jesus has changed who I am! Praise God and all the glory to him.

  • WWWWWEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! idk y i did that. ive been doing it all day.

  • I now know and like this song

  • i hadn't been living like i should have, and i found this song when my friend shared it in a link on my facebook. it made me realize how much i'd changed and no, hearing this song makes me want to change again. but this time for the better. i love what music can do to someone. i think im ganna break out the ol guitar and right my own songs, thanks for the inspiration, god bless.

  • And then he gave me freedom in him. and NOw I am no longer angry this song explains it, and now I hear this song and think They, My mom n dad would love to sing this to me now. They are in heaven and I know they are not who they were.... Praise God.

  • This song says so much, When I first heard this song I wanted to sing it to my parents who are in heaven, see I found out at the age of 45 my dad was't my dad, his brother was, 3 days before my Mother passed away her sister decided to tell me the truth, My dads brother was my dad, My whole life I was shunned I never knew why my mom or dad wanted nothing to do with me, then I found out but they were all gone no one to ask, why, No one to go to but God.

  • @IchBinDeutschGenug That's beautiful! Praise God!

  • @IchBinDeutschGenug amen god can cure and do anything because he loves you

  • i love this song because it has so much depth to it.

    

  • I was married for 12 years and he left me for someone else. I guess this is really when I found out who God was and how much I needed him in my life. Because of HIM I am not who I was.

  • @bobowles100 wow 12 years I guess I can't measure up to your pain, but my girlfriend left me for another guy too after 4 years, and I guess that's just life now I have to live with not being good enough.

  • @mvdiablo Don't say that. you are good enough she just isn't good enough for you. Keep your head up:)

  • Love it

  • "Look, do you wanna play blindman? Go walk with the shepherd. But me, my eyes are wide fucking open."

    -Jules Winnfield

    The most inspirational words ive ever heard :)

  • @ZNZreviews ... I don't get it : ( I'm slow as hell today. What does it mean ? :P

  • @HerGlassBones94 Watch Pulp Fiction and you will understand

  • i just love this song. i never got the chance to let my father know that i forgive him for the things taht he did to me, and i forgive my mother for not beliving me. thanks for this song GOD BLESS

  • This song means so much...to me..I moved away from my hometown when i was 14 (I'm 18 now) I moved away from my bestfriend..i went to see her about 3 years ago. last time i saw her. She has changed so much,she stopped talking to me i think because i gave my life to god i am a christian now,she turned bisexual,i think thats why she didn't want to talk to her anymore..all i can do is pray for her..:(

  • great song

  • Revelation 12:11

    And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. IN JESUS NAME <3<3<3 AMEN<3<3<3

  • i lovve this song

  • i lovve this song

  • I think this young man has a beautiful natural voice and a Christian testimony Roy BASS

  • i like this song alot

  • i like this song and it also reminds me when i used to be timid shy and just yea now im a cussing dumbass who can fuckin change :(

  • @funnyvidsadic i was extremely shy and quite and innocent in elementary school then i became pretty immodest, and i cussed alot through out almost all of middle school, but i met a guy in 7th grade who became my bestfriend, (i'm now a freshman in high school), and i'm dating him now and have been for over 6 months, and he's changed me, and i know God has been with him, and sometime's it just matters who you hang around, now i never cuss, yeah it's slipped out a few times, but many Christians

  • @SwingLifeAwayx15 yea ik but like evryone in mah friggin town cusses like they runnin from da law

  • There was a boy who I really liked, broke my heart.. I guess I have to learn forgive.. He's my best friends brother... So I have to forgive him cause I'll be seeing him for the rest of my life(:

  • For those saying that they don't like this song because it's a Christian song but it doesn't talk about God, I encourage you to listen to it again and think about it a little differently. Brandon may mot have written this as a worship song, but he wrote it as a testimony to those in his life. He's singing about how God has influenced and changed his life, and is reflecting on who he was, the effect it had on his relationships, in contrast to who he is now through God's influence on his life.

  • @ashiegurl808 Amen! True True....... Tried and Proven,... By his strips I am healed. by his grace alone. My testimony as well.I relate to this song..By my ex, in abandonement issues, neglect, abuse and rejection being inflicted, but, I pray for God's grace, to be found in deliverance from addictions for my ex.. I am speaking of the LOVE of my life. My ex husband. I pray in by God's spirit and I will continue to pray for him always. Even though we have went on two different paths in life!

  • @777swells I'm glad that you got around to forgiving him. There's a lot of people in my life that I know I need to forgive (if only for my own sake, if they don't care about my forgiveness), but I'm having a hard time actually doing it. I'm really glad that you were able to move on and find peace in the Lord, and I hope that one day I can do it to the extent that you did. I think I'm on my way to becoming a better person, but I know I still have a long way to go.

  • Absolutely beautiful is all I can say, this song ministers to me in so many ways. Yep...... Me, either, I'm not who I was.. Thank YOU JESUS!

  • I"M NOT WHO I WAS ! :D 

  • My bf broke up with me just recently, and though it's only been a week a lot has happened and I have changed. I wish I could send this to him. I think I'm going to make a cover of it and send it to him for christmas or his B-day

  • @sierrahm1995 Similar story for me. I could do the same for my ex gf, not because I want her back but because I feel like she needs to know I forgive her. Y'know, without me actually saying "I forgive you for suddenly ending us". Love is tough and confusing >.<

  • @Jabbawocky007 Exactly. I was so pissed at him and I made it very obvious. But, I now realize it had to happen, it lead to a bunch of things in life, a bunch of good things. I want to thank him for finally making me fall over the edge, I fight depression, and him hurting me lead to me seeking for help, and now everything is getting better little by little

  • @sierrahm1995 Yep yep. I'm just glad I'm out of a relationship that was going nowhere.

  • @sierrahm1995 Yeah, personality addiction, is how I found Jesus Christ, through a broadcase of the church that God called me to when My ex- finally rejection me after a 14.5 years of yo-yo relationship.  Thank you ex, Thank you God first and foremost for looking out for me even when I didn't know how to look out for myself!

  • @777swells indeed

  • Thank you!! IT's great w/ lyrics!! Thanks for your hard work & time!! I love my time worshipping the Lord, My Saviour!! You helped! ;-) God bless you! ;;-)

  • I am definitely not who I was. I was a satanist at one time, and an alcoholic and a drug addict until six years ago. I was raised in the church so God was always in the back of my mind. On May 16 , 2005 , G-d gave me a wake up call over a matter of not being able to forgive. I pulled my car over into a parking lot and give my life fully to Jesus.The man that left that parking lot that day was NOT the same man that pulled in. I'm not who I was, because of who he is. Thank you Father!!!!

  • Really? Dislikes? I can get if one person accidently pressed it once, but 13 times? Really?

  • @revelationistruth  Pray for them

  • like if ur listenin to in2011 :D

  • wow like this..

  • amazing

  • omg! this is a great song.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG <3

  • praying for the people who don't like this song. -_-

  • @chocolate20855 this song rocks :D

  • Forgiveness is Soooooo HARD but when it does happen its just like a 100 lbs. lighter off your heart...let go and let God show you the way to foregiveness!!!!!!!!

  • I understand this is a Christian song, and I'm Christian, but I've never exactly been mad at God, so when I hear this I think of someone. I used to be mad at him, a little on the hurt side, too. But my God, I wish I could tell him I'm not who I was. He's the one that should be hurt and mad. At me. I'm sorry, Silas, wherever you are. I hope you're well.

  • I LOVE GOD! He is my everything<3

  • What album is?? (:

  • 13 people didnt find God's love, 13 dislikes

  • now that i have changed... its takin alot right now to not fall back into that pit of loneliness i dug fir myself.... oh how i was foolish before....

  • @TheDarkstar010 I am going through the same thing, since last October since I gave my heart back to him. The tendencies, just to be so depressed, so miserable, so lonely, are hard to stop thinking about, stop noticing. But pray, and keep on praying, for he will help you. He did help me, for over eight months, breaking down each one of my tendencies, to give me his. It was not easy, but he never let go of me, and he never stopped answering my prayers. This past Saturday, was the first day...

  • @TheDarkstar010 that I woke up, with joy. The pain is hard to let go, but the joy that comes in the morning is worth it, his joy for you. We are not called to pain and misery, but even through trial, especially through trial, to rejoice and praise him, for he is more than all of them and we are never alone. Christ calls us to love and joy in him, so ask him daily for it. He takes us through valleys of sorrow and pain, so that his love may fill us evermore. When we are less, then he is more.

  • Good song to listen to when doing home work :)

  • why would you dislike this???

  • @supershell711 maybe they dont know what the change feels like.... but my god this spoke volumes to me....

I'm not who i was ... glory be to the man uostairs aka my jesus christ .... one love <3 plz subscribe

  • @SamiBooBear123 now that you know what you know now .. live in his way and walk in his foot steps .. you can do it just have faith and patience in him and he'll provide all that you need .. he loves and he's here fro you ... and he is GOD ..

  • @superwoman10ify thats how i see my friend and i need to pray for her so she will focus on God and hopefully God will help with her depresson

  • @superwoman10ify wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! but really jesus doesnt like to be called the man upstairs! he is not the man upstairs. he is jesus christ the messiah

  • @superwoman10ify oh my goodness same with me!! :)

  • @superwoman10ify hello. i am a boy crazy sort of depressed girl who knows God and grew in in church. I have a hard time forgiving. I think it's a pride thing... i pray god will change me. is that what you did?

  • @koreangirl1982 Proverbs 11:2

    English Standard Version (ESV)

    2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

    first i had to let go of my priede and give it god and then you humble yourself jusy let god do the work , let him take care of you :) <3

  • This... it's words right outta my heart.

    I wish you could see me now, I'm not who I was...

    I love you

    Forever and Always baby

    Love you 'Topaz'

  • what a great voice this man has!

  • This song is for my father, I blamed him for everything, I was so mad at him growing up. I wish he can see me now, I'm not who I was, but it's too late. I'm just praying everyday that before he left this world, he came to know Jesus as well so when it's time for me to go home to heaven, he's gonna be there too.

  • I love this song!!! (:

  • Why would you even dislike this?? BTW its amazing!!

  • ok i think ive found my new favourite christian artist (:

  • With 752 comments to date I am guessing many of you found yourselves relating to this song as I do.

    I too am not who I was and it's God's mercy and saving grace that makes every word true.

    I don't deserve it, I am not a seasoned Christian who can say all the right things in prayer or know what to do or say in any given situation but I am forgiven and Changed by the grace of God! I'm not who I was

  • @SuzannaSinister yeah im not the most mature Christian but Im forgiven and Jesus saved me and is teaching me to forgive. Im not who I was, Thank you Jesus!

    Sophia

  • With 752 comments to date I am guessing many of you found yourselves relating to this song as I do.

    I too am not who I was and it's God's mercy and saving grace that makes every word true.

    I don't deserve it, I am not a seasoned Christian who can say all the right things in prayer or know what to do or say in any given situation but I do have one thing that makes all the rest unimportant so long as I turn there in All my needs and gifts to be given...

    God forgave me what else do I need!

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!! My 21 year old daughter is learning a hard lesson, the hard way (in jail) and had recently started listening to Christian radio. She wrote me and asked me to get the lyrics to this song. Of course, I had heard it many times, but reading and writing them down for her, under these circumstances, it just brings joy to my soul!

    God is using jail as her "cocoon", and I know she's emerge transformed!

  • I think this is an awesome song!! Cause I'm not who I was mow that Jesus is my life

  • thank goodnes i'm not who i once was...stop disliking good music

  • Hindsight is "truly" twenty-twenty! blinded by the present hurt and pain that we chase it away (the heal'g power of love) and after it is gone or too late, we realize our mistake! If only I realiz'd "then" what I realize "now"...I love you Paul P.

  • LOVE THIS!

  • what a beautiful song <3 :')

  • I love you

  • i am going to sing this r school talent show!!!!!! i <3 this song!!!!!!

  • @batk222 put it on yutube !!! =)

  • I actually met him in the woodlands,TX he's really cool and I got to take a picture with him. This is one of my favorite songs by him

  • I love this song, thanks for posting. Sometimes the pain runs so deep that I forget that im a changed man. LORD I NEED YOU

  • 12 people are still who they are.

  • Task for Everyone! :)

    Relate a story in which you've changed, grown, and felt whole through the beautiful choice of forgiving someone. Sometimes, I feel like I even look at forgiveness as this difficult task that's hard and not worth it. But it doesn't has to be! It's from God after all. Everything from Him is beautiful. Anyway! Share, share, share! Who knows. You just might encourage someone. =]

    God Bless!

    ~Reflection

  • this says it so simply. Many of us aren't who we were anymore. Sad that many of us lose our best friends we want for life from their own fears keeping them from us.. Even more tragic are thoughts that those that let-go, will more-often than not call again, when their long-lost is long-gone.

  • I love this songg !! :D :)

  • I heard this yesterday on K-Love and I love it so much! <3

  • Brandon Heath is like the christian version of John Mayer, in my oppinion. But If i had to choose which one I liked best it would be Brandon!! I would much rather listen to a song that will minister to my soul and bring me out of tests/trials than a song that sings about lust or love"

  • AMEN GOD Bless each and everyone of us.

  • il say this,if i can you change,  you can''

  • i am wondering why a song like this one should have a dislike button...

  • @natalia0123451 Right ?

  • wow!

  • @sheyshey33

    I recommend Red , The Afters, Tenth Avenue North, TobyMac, Skillet, Chasen.

    They all have amazing songs with catchy beats to them. TobyMac and The Afters I recommend mostly for you. Enjoy! Tell me if you liked them! ;)

  • I AM NOT WHO I WAS! I WANNA CHANGE! I AMMMMMM GONNA CHANGE!!!! WITH LORD JESUS BY MY SIDE, I CAN!

  • Wow, I just heard this on the radio. I love it. :]]

  • Life takes on a roller coaster that deffinatly has ups and downs. the only thing that you have to remember is you have a reason for why you are hear. gorgive people you love and they will forgive you

  • I'm not who I was.

  • Awesome, uplifting song!!

  • The lord is close to the brokenhearted, and he saves those whose spirits have been crushed. Please dont lose faith.  He heals all wounds in time. So stay strong and keep your focus on all the good things in your life, especially jesus!!

  • How do you get to this point? I want to forgive someone from my past so much, I want to not be upset with him anymore. But I've prayed and asked God to soften my heart towards him, I've said "I forgive him" outloud in a lot of my prayers, but I still know I haven't in my heart. I don't know what to do.

  • @jennielalala

    I am sorry for what you are feeling and I can totally relate. My ex husband hurt me so much, we were together 13 years then found out about his affair. Hurt & made me angry & he kept denying it. I never thought I would forgive him but I thank God everyday that I have. I do not hate him and I still pray for him. He however is miserable and never healed from our first marriage. He is now in a new relationship and is already having problems. It takes time, don't give up. : )

  • @23pedwards thank you so much for your words of encouragement, they really mean a lot. its nice to see others that have been through this process, and God has gotten them through it. i guess i just need to continue praying about it - and for him.

  • This song has a very special meaning to me, I feel like it could be my son's theme song. Thanks.

  • this song has helped me with my probles not to blame god for my mistakes and problems. i have had a problem listening to christian music it doesnt have a beat this song is calm but it helps me calm down

  • this song has helped me when i have problems but i have had a problem i am having a hard time listening to christian musis most of them dont have a beat i love music with cool beat. this one is calm but it helps me calm down when im mad

  • so this is a song about someone wronging the singer? can it be applied to someone who needs the forgiveness?
