  • @humgum44 I dont know what you are talking about, but I will say that you need to check yourself. Christians dont talk like that and I really didnt like seein that. now, I just had someone recently mace my car door, (nearly caused me to wreck) for something I said that was mis-interpreted. instead of pressing charges, and even blasting them in a message on face book. I told them I was mad and the reason for it and that I would pray for them. I forgave them after they apologized and I moved on.

  • Songs nowadays are so unfaithful and just wrong. Kids, the next generations will be led the wrong way!

  • Just reflecting on the last week....the flashcards flipping from condemned to redeamed still give me chill. Thanks God im not who I was.

  • This will be my theme song for all New Years. We are a work in progress and this expresses it so beautifully. I've listened to it for a long while, since my teenage daughter introduced it to me a couple of years ago. Puts a lump in my throat due to the raw truth of the lyrics. Well done!

  • whats awesome about this song is it works on different levels. man to man, man to God and both. Thanks God Im not who I was". As posted above " By Gods amazing Grace....I AM NOT WHO I WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's amazing to see how one song can touch so many people's life. Keep rocking Brandon for Him!

  • This song made me cry... I really like this song, I found it on someone's page and I couldn't stop listening to it. Very encouraging and empowering.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG AND WOULD LOVE FOR MY EX WIFE TO HEAR IT GOD IS AMAZING HE SAVED AND CHANGED MY LIFE I AM NOT WHO I WAS

  • beautiful!! and so true. 

  • If any man or woman amoung you is not born again, repent not believe in the Lord Jesus the Christ!

  • @Domodeath repent not?? do you mean repent? 

  • After Jesus I'm not who I was...Thank you God....

  • I used these song lyrics in a letter I wrote to my dad in prison that I forgive him for what he did to me. Because of him I have tried to kill myself many times and would have sex with pretty much any willing guy. I have cuts on my arms and i never let people get close because i feel that everyone will leave me.. God is the only one who will never ever leave me. Im only 16 and I have been hurt so many times and it has taken forever to forgive but i have.

  • @julieanicoleisamazin You're pretty inspiring you know that? Keep letting the Lord's love flow through you to heal the cuts on your heart. Trust me. He's working through you. <3 Thanks for giving me some positive light today. ;)

    Kindly Yours,

    A Sister In Jesus Christ

  • My husband was emotionally abused by his father - was told repeatedly he was no good and would amount to nothing. Now he is a successful man, found God in his life many years ago; does prison ministry; sings for God in church; does all he can to spread the love and forgiveness of the Lord. We have 4 beautiful children, a home and great faith in God above. This song is his story --- he could have written it about him and his Dad who died 25 years ago. Thank you for writing it Brandon.

  • I'm singing this for Celebrate Recovery! God is so Great!

  • this song makes me think of my ex... I miss her so much, she was everything to me and i messed up

  • Comment removed

  • Love this song! When I first heard, I wept. So beautiful and so relevant!!!!!

  • Love this song...a LOT.

  • was it a chick, brandon? 10-1 it was some chick

  • This week i have been going threw so much and noticed that when i got saved i was 8 years old. I later found out about all my family's problems and got mad. I got mad at God and my whole family. But this week my youth pastor has helped CHANGE my heart. Im not who i was.

  • It's just plain amazing how your songs parallell my life in so many ways. This version of the video is so good, I can't imagine how hard it was for everyone to do, but yet so rewarding as well. Please keep writing and singing, you are something great.

  • This is a blessing. Thanks

  • bless you you realy make me feel so good and i will pray for you GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND GOD LOVES YOU ALL SO MUCH AND if you rech you hand out in the sky you can tuch gods hands and i beleve in that and you shud to have a very good day and god will take care of all your trubls

  • Forgiveness, no, I can't forgive nor forget.But I can compartmentalise and do the best for the here and now and the future. There is a lot of pain in me due to illness and bereavement and other matters. The pain is not a bitter friend but evil and is to be avoided. "Closure" is not possible only the reality of what has been and what is. Thank you Brandon so much for this song. Sincerely, thank you.

  • hey...thanks brandon for sharing this song...I was abused as a little girl and had lots of hurt toward a couple of people including my mother....amazing how God can give beauty for ashes and this is my theme song for life.....my God bless you abundantly above which you could ever imagine

  • I used to be really angry at everyone and only recently have I begun to change. I still have trouble forgiving the person who made me angry in the first place. This song is so beautiful and has made me see that I should forgive my dad.

  • @tiamat100 Amen to that! Forgiveness, even if it is the blessed and holy way out, the one that God wants us to take (lol *wink*) it sure is NOT easy. I'm constantly being bombarded with little things that I have the power to forgive other people for. Once you forgive and let go, however? It's an amazing feeling. You are completely free. ;) Keep up the good work.

    ~Reflection

  • this song is to his step mother.

    he was on the radio yesterday and talked about it all.

  • Can you find me the link to the interview?

  • Comment removed

  • mystery google sent me here too!

  • I love this song cause it reminds me that everytime that old selfish part of me tries to come back.....i just remind myself that im not who i was!

  • Brandan, I hope you read this. Thank you for adding this song, I had some forgiving to do, and hadn't ( my father ) he died 5 years ago. This song and the lord helped me to get.

    Thank God, I'm not who I was.....!!!!!!!

  • mysterygoogle sent me here but it was amazing

  • mystery google sent me here

  • Im so glad he shared this song because its helped me with my break up.

  • Your witness is such an inspiration, keep doing what you're doing and be blessed!

  • i love this song and its people like this that let us know that everything will be alright and that the world isnt out to get you. that there are other people dealing with the same fears, hurt, addiction, abuse..etc so you are never alone.. and this song has let me realize my fears and i can ready to face them head on!!!

  • I had to stop listening to this song for awhile because I wore it out while I thought about my own issues of unforgiveness... I'm so glad that you wrote this. We all need to become honest with what we find residing in our hearts. Going to church doesn't erase our past, God does that for us through Christ. I believe your submission to God is evident in your writing and by sharing it with us you are helping us to work out our own salvation, with "fear and trembling" Thanks

  • this video brought me to tears. i think it is an amazing thing that God loves us so much and he is willing to do so much for all of us.

    God bless.

  • amen

  • Absolutely touching and beautiful song. Thanks for writing it. It really makes me think about God and how life is too short to hold grudges. It reminds we of the power of forgiveness and change. I love it. Wonderful song.

  • i wish i was a more forgiving person. i had a best friend that was more like a brother but when he had an affair on his wife and kids(who i also loved) and then left her. we ended up falling out. After 6 yrs he showed up at my front door. That was as far as he got. within about 2-3 sentences, I sent him packing. In a lot of ways I regrete not even letting him say why he was here. Maybe he was coming to say he was sorry and that he is "Not who He Was." I may never know.

  • Guy you should listen to the air 1 Radio station. its all about god and jesus and it is chistian staion. I recently heard this song there. Its aweseme that the word has spread everywhere.

  • Yeah I love that station and Klove

  • keep this video going...awesome!

  • Romans 6:4

    We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

  • ALL TO HIM!!

    I know people just like these and they are my friends, I try my best to extend the love of Christ- just like Jesus did on earth- reminds me who Jesus hung around on while on earth extending His love- I want to do that and I do.

    Thanks to a person in a Christian chat room who sent me this- I won't forget you.

  • love this song. Hope it's an inspiration to everyone

  • this song spoke to me in so many ways...

    Thank you so much, Brandon, for sharing and letting God work through you.

  • I'm not drunk, high, cutting, having sex,stealing, lying or smashing things anymore...BUT I am still dealing with the underlying issues that caused the self-hatred and self-destruction. Takes some time for a lot of people.  But, I am very, very grateful to be free of booze, pot, cigarettes, shallow sexual sins and the rest. God is working His patience into my soul.

  • @earthalien77 Amen! me 2 =D

  • @earthalien77 That's an awesome testimony!!

  • my heart is so broken that i dont even know who i am anymore i love the video but im not sure if i could ever be what i once was i happy to see that there are people who over came there demons.

  • I am praying for you and please just hold on to hope and know that God loves you and he will fight demons for you. I too have been faced with great sadness, pain and addiction and through it all I have become a stronger person.

  • thank you for praying for me

  • i feel the same as voight1974. i try my best but i think my heart could never be rapaired. people are trying to help me but its not working.sometimes i feel happy other times i cry and I cant control it

  • i love this song

    brandon heath is AWESOME!!!

    go man!!

  • i watched this in tweens today

  • im not who i was too

  • great song

  • This song brought me to Youtube-- the community and all. I love this song and crank it up whenever I hear it.

  • Brandon...

    Thank you for following God!

    I'm a recoverying drug addict, By God's grace and the people of NA, and my church family I have been given the privilege of a new life from my highest power whom I choose to call God. This song has ment the world to me when the old tapes try to sneak in, everything on those old tapes are a lie, and a trap

  • keep pressing on

  • Funktapus; sorry you feel this way. Especially when people bare their souls for thousands to view on youtube and other forums. These people are real and have realized their shortcomings and have taken steps to improve themselves. Real is the word, not pathetic. I hope and pray that one day you don't feel the anger and disappointment that you have in your life right now, as strong as you might want yourself and everyone else to believe. May God bless you.

  • This song does really speak to alot of people even me. I'm only 16, but in the past 5 years God has been shaping me, and honestly. I don't even recognize that girl. "I'm not who I was", and everytime I hear this song it makes me cry tears of joy. Cause I am so incredibly changed! Thank you for writing it.

  • Amen, Renae. That's an awesome testimony (this vdeo has a lot of cool testimonies to it).

  • thank u for this video it means alot to me !!!!!!!! u r song is very inspiring brandon heath !! i am going through alot of rough times people r constantly telling me i am going to hell for who i am and who i wanna be and that sux but i know god loves all anf his love counquers all !!!

  • Keep growing and moving on this path of salvation, friend. Jesus is the way.

    God is proud of your strive for perfection (as impossible for humans as perfection is without Jesus).

  • Thank you so much for this song.

    May God bless you and your message

    and May the peace that Jesus offers be with you.

  • We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by our TESTIMONIES!  This is an awesome, anointed video. Thank you so much for posting it and, of course, for the wonderful song.

  • What a song!!!

  • Thank you! This song has helped me immensely. And even though you will propably never see this thank you Tiffany!!

  • i love this song!!!

  • this is a good video. i almost cried at this video.seeing this video made me think more than just hearing this song by itself.

  • amazing[:

  • I love this song it m really make u think about stuff and it also made me cry!!

  • I love this song. I feel really blessed...

    God bless you, Brandon.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG. I heard it this morning on the radio and just had to search for it. It's GREAT-May GOd Bless YOu Brandon Heath

  • Great song, God Bless. (:

  • thank god for you brandon heath

  • loving it!

  • this song makes perfect sense, musically and religously. once a Christian has "Killed the Flesh" this song truly sets in. it wasnt until i commited sin that i was able to Kill the Flesh and i have never looked away from christianity

  • I wish that you could see me now, many months ago I Was a victim of a violent act, this was done by someone who promised to keep me safe. You see Jesus prepared my heart to write the same letter as you. I no longer blame my perpetrator, I blame the act and can now live as a new person in Christ. No Longer a Victim. I'm not who I was.

    HELLO....

  • god bless you youll be in my prayers

  • You are awesome to do that! You will be in mine as well. Isn't God Good!

    Blessing to you and yours.

  • Brandon, I have forgiven my husband for his infidelity, humiliation and pain and it has set me free with the help of you GOD inspired song. Thank you for letting me share in the gift you have been given. GOD bless and keep you alway. Do not ever let the world take you with anything from the gift you have been given. Love , and prayers,, Trish

    THX Brandon Heath for this song!!

    btw, i really like the bass part around 2:45-49

    anyone else? :D

  • This video and comments couldn't be any better at "speaking or rather singing...the Truth of God's Amazing Transforming Power and Love!!!" Keep it up Brandon!!!Love your music!!!

  • my dad left us a long time ago, and even he lives near he never, in 8 years has visited or seen us. I had been so mad at him for so long... He left a little girl and now I'm a woman.. I'm not who I was, and he missed all that.

  • thanks for sharing that.

  • The very first time I heard this song on the radio I got online to find out who sang it, as it seemed that it was sung exclusively for me. My son & I have been estranged for 10 yrs now because he married his guardian, whom I trusted as a friend, but had a different agenda, and because of her guilt, I lost my son. I just want them both to know that "I'm not who I was" anymore. I love you with all my heart, Heath, and waiting patiently for your return back in my life. God bless you. He is awesome!

  • im not who i was... i used to be in a gang and one day my frend brought me to church and i have been changed and lovin GOD ever since ...and still today i praise him with all my heart..mabye he can do the same for you if he did it for me .... 4 EVER PRAISE

  • im so happy that you found God!! He is amazing and i praise him with all of my heart also, even though i have been through some really tough times lately. My friends have been insulting me sometimes, telling me that i act like a boy. school has been rough also, and my church and youth group is going through a bunch of change, and thats really hard! but as long as you belive in God, anything is possible. PRAISE HIM FOREVER!!!!!!!

  • I saw from your profile that you're 15. I know how much that age sucks...I remember it all too well. Life gets better, and life improves. And any friend who is seriously insulting you is NOT your friend. Just focus on the light at the end of the tunnel...this is all temporary! Say a prayer when things get tough, and remember, things could ALWAYS be worse!

  • yeah your right. thank you so much. i can tell that u are a great person, and keep on giving good advice!!!! it helps cheer a person up immensely!!!!

  • I know all of us have gone through many changes in our lives and for me, deep down, I hated the person who I was. Best said, I was an empty shell fueled by drug addition and false feelings. Today I am SO different, full of real feelings and I wish all the people I knew in my past could know who I am now, a loving, giving person who's turned his life around. There's one old girlfriend who I'd love for her to know that I've changed and I'm not who I was...Sandy G.

  • I love this song and video and I can totally relate. I first listened and keep listening to Jason Castro's version sung in Church at Lakepoint. I enjoy listening to this version too --it's about what Christ has done in me :)
