    Wow

    That's amazing. God bless you :)

  • I heard how Jesus changed other people's lives and I wanted it too. I was a lying stealing cheating arrogant sexually immoral drug-addicted jerk. I knew I was bad and wanted to be good. I asked Jesus to take control of my life; I had made a mess of it.He came and purified my thought-life and heart.I believe the Son of God died for my sins and rose again. Understanding His love I trust Him and give Him control of my life.He transformed me into a new person. Never knew peace like this was possible

  • i believe hes more speaking of a greater phenomenon then everyone is speaking of. Its enlightenment, to realize your true "self" or "soul" inside you. The human spirit. And let go of the false sense of self created by your ego :)

  • I haven't listened to MercyMe for sooo long, and this was my favourite song by far. Love It!!!

  • Great job

  • Can't wait for the day Jesus comes back for us!!

  • can you make a video for closing time by semisonic? thanx

  • Is the other person he found supposed to be Jesus/ God, and he's saying he's letting the old him go to start a new life with Jesus?

  • @MrFerty08 that's what i think he means

  • @notshekki That's what I though. Thanks.

  • @MrFerty08 *Thought

  • @ProtectorOfDeer If I got in trouble for praying I would be so mad!!!

  • So, it's near Christmas, and I can't believe it's hard to find a nativity scene. Seriously?? The reason we HAVE Christmas is because of the birth of Jesus. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even have Christmas. :D

  • DISNEY BUS!!! 

  • love this song i love k love christian music:) mercy me is my favorite i wood love to see them in concert i have already see my other fav group tree 63 when i was 16:)

  • Stephen W. Hawking was recently asked, "If you could ask God anything what would it be?". He replied, "I would ask Him why he hid for so long."

    Sadly, a lot of people let the world "blind" them from seeing what is clearly defined in every atom, every molecule,every breath, and every heartbeat.My God doesnt hide.He is exemplified in every aspect of my life.

  • 6 people have not said goodbye to self, great job Amy, more videos please.

  • @ProtectorOfDeer

    God will ALWAYS bless those that are persecuted for His sake!

  • this song rocks even if u arent Christian, etc, LOL

  • @musicesmivida17

    I know God is real in my head, I just don't believe it in my heart.

  • @animelover211221 If you really have that 'mustard seed of faith', as Christ called it , faith will arise in your heart. There's an old saying that the distance between your head and your heart is about twelve inches. God is good at bridging that gap; He usually uses His word to do it.

  • I know that God is real, but at the same time, I don't.

    plz help.

  • @mangalover1221 Me too..

  • Great song!

  • Saw this group at a Fest last sunday...Outstanding.....Bart Millard is truely blessed.

  • I haven't heard this song in forever until I heard it on the radio today. Totally stuck in my head now! <3

  • I love MercyMe!!!

  • I am not super religeous but i sure like this song :)

    

  • For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.

  • @ProtectorOfDeer, That breaks my heart to hear that you got in trouble for praying. You are right to keep doing it. Don't back down!! God will see you through this and reward you for your faith in him. ((BIG CHRISTIAN HUGS))

  • You got in trouble for praying?!

  • o cant you see

  • @icbluehelooksglorious

    True science points to God. He is written everywhere in the universe. Even in the stars the plan of salvation is shown. I believe kids should be able to pray in schools. After all God is a fact.

  • 5 people need to say farewell, goodbye to themselves.

  • One of the songs that reminds one exactly why we're here =). Very uplifting =D

  • sang this song for play

  • Would you make one for Empty Me by Chris Sligh

  • awesome video .. luv this song!

  • this is a good one. i like the different colored lyrics. i would enjoy any christian song that u would do this way. GOD bless you.

  • :( i loved this song untill i look and listen to comments sayign its a religious song! Here i was thinking this was about a guy improving himself and leaving behind bad habits.......oh wait that is the same thing as religion exept it dosent involve preaching biblical verses and attacking homos! Cmon guys keep jesus between me and you and stop plastering him everywhere and demanding people belive in him and bashing them if they dont!

  • 5 people are still in a committed relationship with themselves.

  • Dear Self,

    I'm breaking up with you. It was good while it lasted, but not good enough.

    Love, Me <3

  • How is "allow God in schools" the highest rated comment? If you want your kid to receive a Christian based education then enroll them in a Christian school or have them go to Sunday School or teach them yourself. School is for science and facts not religion.

  • @icbluhelooksglorious Until of course they tell you that God doesnt even exist. And by saying He doesnt exist, they arent letting Him in schools, theyre only doing what Satan wants. And sometimes, a Christian school is out of the question due to educational needs, financial issues, lack of Christian school or Christ in the school, etc. And God is fact, so why not put ALL the facts in schools?? Plus, a public school is a great mission field. Its full of searching teens desperate for God + His <3

  • @starfootspektormac Yeah but what about kids that arnt christian, besides god is a personal think and "teaching about him and quoting bibles and demanding wholesome lives but allowing molestation and homophobia isnt fair........organized religion= bleh....dont get me wrong i love jesus just as much but once you find that golden realashinship then youve done enough

  • So long self....I have been a slave to my body and relationships for too long, I dedicate myself to Christ. "For thy Maker is thine husband: the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called. For the Lord hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God. For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee." Isaiah 54: 5-7.

  • its not about me anyway..its about him

  • This has to end, I want something more in life than all of this, so so long self!

  • god didnt touch 4 people but he will because god is perfect no matter what!

  • its such a good morning pick-me-up!!!

  • I have given up being selfish and taking on the personality of someone thats not me...my life has improved 100% no more lies no more hurt, SO LONG SELF!

  • THE NATION OF NORTH AMERICA NEEDS INDEED TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG BECAUSE SAYS EXACTLY WHAT WE MUST REMIND OURSELVES EVERYDAY OF OUR LIVES IN ORDER TO LIVE A LIFE IN WHOLESOME!!!

  • Thanks so much! Awesome song, god is so amazin!

  • For anyone who may be searching for a biblical understanding of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel.

  • Don't get me wrong, this song is AWESOME! but it would be so much better if they changed 'So Long Self' to 'So Long Sin'

  • @ApostolicMamma

    NOT NECCESARILY BECAUSE SIN IS MEANT TO EXIST UNTIL THE SECOND COMING OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THEREFORE "SO LONG SELF"

  • "So long self, Well its been fun, but I have found Somebody else." Thank you Lord for your sacrifice as much as we don't deserve it

  • amen.

  • Stupid me, I thought this was a song meant for marriage.

  • in the Our Father prayer it says "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done" when it says Thy kingdom come, it means "my kingdom go" let Your will for me happen Lord, not my will for myself. Therefore.. so long self :P

  • Another great song by a great band. God Bless Mercy Me! Your music helps me through my darkest days.

  • This song is genius.

  • what an uplifting song :)

  • this is my new favorite song! thanks for putting this on, I love Mercy Me but had never heard this one til now, and right now is when I needed to hear it. God is always right on time, isn't He? What a great way to express the concept of dying to self and becoming transformed into who He wants us to be...things go so much better for us when we do it His way :)

  • wonderful song & video - Thanks ! :)

  • This song is great the singing and the music are incredible but the message of the song is really incredible reminding us life is not about us it is about God playing electric guitar in my praise band it is a good song to listen too to remind me that i am up there to give glory to God not to give glory to myself

  • this is so cool to listen to bcuz its a really good song and ur praising God at the same

  • I LOVE THIS SONG....

  • Wow....LOVE THIS SONG!! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT!!! :D THANK YOU MERCY ME!!!!!

  • Finally a positive way to die to self!!!!! Love it!!! We aren't good for ourselves anyway. ;)

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • You can relate this song to relationships & to yourself & God. But it feels so good when someone has hurt you & you omit the "self" part. It feels like a very well worded tell off. God bless you all, there'll be better days! ♥

  • SO LONG SLEF!!

  • i love mercey me

  • Can You Tell Me What Softwear you used to make this Video?

  • Thank you for making this video! I haven't heard this song before but it's wonderful. I agree with both mythoughts777 and timestandingstill, in my life too self-centeredness and pride have been really getting in the way. Gotta keep moving forward. May God bless you and keep you stumper2011.

  • try to do slow fade by

    the casting crowns

  • me and my dad seen them

    mercy me they were awesome

  • i agree this song is

    awesome

  • I love this song! For me it is a wake up call from a season of self focus. It inspires me to shake things off, take my mind off of myself and to once again move forward with Jesus.

  • Great I love it!

    I have been thinking alot more lately how I need to get myself out of the way when it comes to witnessing to others. This thing called pride is a distroyer.

  • It'd be nice if it categorically mentionned God/Jesus so we who he's leaving his self for :)

  • @chrism76 The only reasons most songs don't do this is because it lowers the target audience value. Some people want to listen to the song and think he means for another person, like someone he loves, while others think it should be God. I have no idea what he meant, but I am just saying that is why he didn't "mention" it, mostly a sales/radio thing.

  • *****+

  • Thank you!

  • Fun song... =p

    I like it and it's message. :)

  • Jews do not "hate Jesus" they just kind-of missed the boat. They just don't believe his is the Messiah. He came, they missed it. You shouldn't get ticked off, you should feel sorry for them.

  • They make Jesus out to be a liar, and so despise him. They don't "kind of" reject him. They DID and DO.

    I'm not angry at Jews. I feel bad for them. I also feel bad for you, for I was like you, supporting Zionism in my naivety.

    Tell me, DarthPRB, if the Jews during the Babylonian exile would have sinned by returning to the holy land while continuing their idolatry. And don't be a coward by ignoring the question. If you are a Christian, you will be humble and admit being wrong.

  • What's with the cowards who do thumbs down on me but don't even try to refute my statement about their sin? You have numbers on your side, but they have no bearing on the truth.

  • Good grief man, chill out! Your grammar/punctuation-usage is so poor that I am unsure exactly what you are asking. Are you implying that it is sinful for the Jews to return to their place of origin because it would have been sinful at another time when they were specifically exiled? We are talking about people who are many, many generations removed from the Jews who originally rejected Jesus. I hardly think that the ban applies to them now.

  • Praying for their conversion and treating them the way you would want to be treated will be much more effective than trying to prevent their homecoming. The idea sounds somewhat spiteful.

  • I want Jews to be saved. I want them to accept the Messiah.

    Why do you think the Jews were exiled after they rejected Jesus?

  • I responded to you, and the post was not saved, so I'll repeat.

    Sorry for being harsh. I should be gentle.

    "We are talking about people who are many, many generations removed from the Jews who originally rejected Jesus. I hardly think that the ban applies to them now." Contemporary "Jews" still reject him, for the most part, so God is still not okay with their return.

    We are people who are many, many generations removed from Adam. Why do you then think that the ban from Eden remains?

  • Well, although the Garden of Eden was a physical place for Adam and Eve, the garden of Eden in the context of this banishment does not refer to a physical place. The Garden represents a state of being, an innocence and state of grace which was lost after the fall. This loss transcends all generations. It does not follow that banishment from physical places works the same way.

  • What I was getting at was that sin keeps the ban from Eden (be it the place or the state of innocence) in place just as sin keeps the ban from the holy land in place.

    Again: Why do you think the Jews were exiled after they rejected Jesus?

  • i love the lyrics and the beat :3

  • This is an awesome song. It is one of my favorites!

  • This is my daily prayer. Thanks for the post.

  • thank you for this post!~

  • ps: I will be seeing them in a matter of hours at Night of Joy! soo excitedd!!!

  • the message in this song is so meant for me right now! Its not all about me; I'm living for Someone greater than all my petty problems! I love you Lord! :-)

    thanks for the video...awesome song!!

  • allow God in schools

  • @bella74501 where i go because it's a charter school we are taught about god so glad i am at a charter school.

  • I personally think that : Natalie Grant's 'To Be Held'; Jeremy Camp 'This Man'; Mercy Me 'I can Only Imagine'; Crystal Lewis "Beauty for Ashes'; Kirk Franklin 'Hide Me'; Kirk Franklin 'I Want to Believe'; and some others might be better, but that's just me.

    But putting that aside, I really love this song, and Newsboy, Mercy Me, and Jeremy Camp are very talented singers!
