Dysfunctional/ broken families are hard to deal with, and for kids it's always compounded. It imprints the growing mind and soul. Sometimes I notice how I react very differently because of my past. On the other hand, those childhood pains made me stronger. And fortunately, things with my family changed for the better. I'm so thankful now. It's important to be fully aware and developed, before you get into the work and art of making and raising a family. It can be magical, or it can be tragic.
I so don't want this to become our story...owning that our children may have some healing to do as well. Thank you Lord for forgiveness!!
This song has convicted me to allow the holy spirit to heal me and for forgiveness to really happen. I have no desire to contribute to more hurting children in this world; especially ones whom I cherish so deeply. Thank you for your transparency, and for sharing your heart with the rest of us!
Hey I just wanted to let you kno that when I heard this song it really spoke to me. I come from an abusive "Christian" home. and now that i am out of the house and on my own. I have tried to make things right with my dad. but it seems that everything that i try to talk to him it never works. I was just about to give up and quit trying when i heard this song. Thank you so much. may God use u and continue to bless you. Keep writing for HIM!
Chris me and two of my boys had our picture taken with you in Wichita KS at Winter Jam .. I love this song and it is a song of my childhood .. it such a powerful song and God has blessed you so much and i'm so glad you wrote this song .. God bless you and all you do
Chris me and two of my boys had our picture taken with you in Wichita KS at Winter Jam .. I love this song and it is a song of my childhood .. it such a powerful song and God has blessed you so much and i'm so glad you wrote this song .. God bless you and all you do
Thank you so much for righting this song, it helps think about more of the important things in life then just taking everything for granite. it helps get to no GOD more and really touches me to go out there and help share the word or the lord. Thanks so much and God Bless you Chris, your amazing!
Thank you so much for writing this song!! This is definitely my favorite song right now and means so much to me. I just recently realized that there is one particular person in my life that has caused me more pain than anyone, and I have never truly forgiven them for the things that they've done to me. This song gives me hope that although I know it will be tough, one day I will have the strength to confront that person and truly forgive them. This song has touched my heart tremendously! THANKS!
This song grabbed my heart this year when I heard the words "these walls have seen me happy, but most of all they've seen me torn. " I am in the process of divorce after being married for 27 years to my best friend who also was angry and confused and hurt me and our 9 children. Throughout those years the words in the song were true and I knew God would take care of me. This last year things finally came to a head and now I have to be reminded of Jesus words "7x70". I will forgive. God will win.
Amen! It is amazing that God has inspired you to compose this powerful song. who ever listens to it will with out a doubt feel the song deep within themselves pertains to them. But I can see as you spoke briefly of the testimony behind the song, that truly God has taken you to a new level of healing through the very song that perhaps you thought would never be. May our Lord and Saviour be always with you. Continue to be wrapped in the mantel in which God has placed over you, Prisilla
i always moved throughout my life and my dad left me my mom and my sister. and about a year later my mom married this psycho and he abused me and my mom didnt believe me at first untill she saw bruises and now she finally kinda divorced him but they still see each other and shes finally getting sick of him .and now is seeing hes jerk .and i would have already killed myself if it werent for my gma and i realized that he put me through that for a reason and this song helped a lot
I know I thanked you for this song at Lifelight, MO in person a few days ago.... But I had to say it again. And now I can do it without crying. THANK YOU. I know it's what so many people say, but it truly did change my life.
I love this song! I came from a broken home as well. To this day, I am adopted and love everyone of my family members. This just alliterates what I am continuing to do from day to day. Thank you for posting. I really really like Chris August's songs! Thanks and God Bless! :)
Beautiful song. I didn't grow up with abuse but I grew up without a mother. My mom died due to a car accident (drunk drivers hit her). My mom was 37 and I was 10. I always felt after she died I was all alone and looking for love in all the wrong places. When I look back I can see how God was always there but I never gave Him the time.
This song has touched me so much Chris. Thank you <3. You're not the only one with this kind of pain. It's awesome to hear the story behind it and how God works to tell his message of forgiveness through you. Keep letting him shine :)
this song is the thing i turn to when i consider suicide, it hs saved me a number of times, including tonight... God bless you all and i hope this means as much to u as it does me, God is amazing is he not? Remember that ur never alone, God is alwayz holing u, and if it wasnt for the amazing ministrie of klove, i wouldnt have heard this song.
@kewtiepie97 PLEASE trust that The Lord knows ALL about it and has a plan far beyond your world view tonight. And by the way...I'm talking to me too. You are not alone. You are loved. I'm pulling for you and will pray for you. I am hearing this song for the first time right now.....all I can say is thank you Father...for being my Father..my everything!
@Incolere thank u so much, u dont know how nice it was for me to get ur reply today... its been another one of "those" days :( but its amazing how God knows just wut iz needed, nd wen itz needed... GOD IZ AMAZING!!!
Sometimes its really hard to forgive, so instead ask to forgive and forget. If that doesn't work ask that your heart be open and let Him open your eyes to see the beauty in those that have hurt you, or your painful memories. John 3:16 For God so loved THE WORLD that he gave his one and only Son, that WHOEVER believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I hope you read this Chris cause this comment it meant for you.
When i heard you say that you didnt even want to write this song i was in shock...because this song literally saved my life. before i found this song i was lost alone confused a druggie and suicidal.
When i first heard it, i cried for two hours, playing it over and over again. because of this song, ive stopped cutting and drugs and i got help.
Chris, I want you to know that you saved my life with this song:')
You can do it. Ask Christ to transform your life, it's through this forgiveness that we can forgive. You can do it, this song speaks to a lot of people - myself included. As a 43 year old with stuff as a child, it speaks loudly.
Excellent story behide the song. After hearing it a few times I too came to the realization what the song was saying. I needed to forgive so I can move on. I will do it even if no one else will. I made my peace with my dad before he died in December so I know first hand how important this is. You may not have the other person in order to do this but do it without an apology and reconciliation. My will is to embrace God's will. I want to forgive completely and forget completely.
I feel like god is speaking to me through this song. My family situation is weird, when I was younger my parents use to fight ALL the time and it really had a negative impact one me. But now they don't fight anymore. They don't realize how I am still hurting from the way they used to treat each other. I know I have to forgive them (mostly my dad) but I am having a hard time. I know god is telling me to forgive but it's SO hard. I don't know even know where to start.
@tole0003 i feel like you just wrote my own story, I'm also working on forgiving my parents who are back together again its really hard but I'm learning how to forgive and im trying to keep the communication open with them some days are better than others. I'll say a special prayer for you that you will be able to talk too and forgive your parents.
Thank you for this song, as so many ppl have and needed to be reminded of the forgiveness God wants us to have in our hearts. Bless you in everything you do. God is good...................Always
(CONT) I come from a similar situation: a broken family, being let down, feeling alone and lost, and most of all *having a hard time forgiving*. I've struggled with forgiving and coming to terms with this pain for years now. But God has worked in my heart and I believe your song is one of those ways. Before, I just kinda moved on with my life. I just said "That's part of life." Now, I think I've finally come to slowly forgive. I don't know why, but God just told me to tell you this. Thank you!!!
I don't know if you'll ever see this, Chris....but I just want to thank you so much for writing this song and for putting it out there, despite your unwillingness to do so at first. I first heard this on Klove on my way to school and, unfortunately didn't pay much attention to it...however, God must have wanted me to hear this song, because later on that night, I went to the Winter Jam at Greenville and heard you sing this live. Let me tell you, it touched my heart in so many ways. (CONT)
Like many, many others, I too think this song was written specifically for me, about my life. It fits my life to a tee. "7x70" it is the first song I've ever listened to that literally fits me perfectly, except I'm not at the forgiveness stage yet, but with God's help I WILL get there. And the forgiveness is not for my father, it's for me. Chris August I can't thank you enough for allowing God to work through you to write this song. I know it's going to touch many lives.
You are Highly blessed,Highly Loved and Highly Favord by our Awesome God Jesus Christ.
The past is no more and letting those hurt go to the cross will take and keep years off your life.
The most diffecult to forgive is ourselves,but if we surrender this to God He Will show us how..
The pains we've had or have are so very pale to the pains He felt on that Beautiful,( He was the Beautiful), terrible cross.. Nobody, but nobody understands pain like Christ dose.
I love realizing myself more and more. Thank you for helping me do that. I love the things I've found interest in, it's made me love God, it's made me dream of tomorrow, the next day, and the rest of my life. I love who I am, even if my family doesn't support me, even if they make me cry. I don't really know how to say what I feel now, but I can just say....Thank you...
.... I heard this for the first time at Winter Jam too. I was stopped, literally, in my boots! I have been so greatly hurt in life as many of us have, growing up in a severly dysfunctional and abusive family to having a marriage so much like my childhood and filled with anger, fear and abandonment. I heard this song and I have been struggling with this and he sang it and WoW!!!! It clarified what God had been speaking to me. God Bless you for sharing with us Chris!
Thank you for taking the journey into your past hurts to write this song. It is so honest. It took me over 20 years to even acknowledge the hurts from my childhood and another 4 to forgive my mom. I feel like we have a real relationship for the first time in my life. I believe there is power in songs like these, God has blessed you so much and smiles everytime you use that gift to help others heal. May His power and forgiveness shine through your music and your life. Thank you once again.
@roaaboaa ...you know, I see so many comments about him and this song at Winter Jam, I am sure he is blessed by how deeply this song has touched so many of us. He has shared his heart and blessed many of us by doing so. I wonder if he knew when he first wrote this how it would touch so many? I am betting that he never thought in his wildest dreams what great an impact this would have on so many! It has really meant alot to me!
this song has been a for real blessing in my life! i went through a really hard time with a past relationship and i am still searching for the way to forgive him, and with God's help i am starting to come to terms with that. hearing this song and your story showed me that i'm not alone and that even though forgiveness is hard, it's an amazing journey. don't ever stop what you do, God is using you in so many ways and i know this song has touched many many hearts.
God Bless you Chris as you glorify God with this gift of song writing and singing for Jesus...you have a sweet anointing.....Thank you for being obedient and serving Christ by using your gift to glorify Him!!!!!!!!!!!
chris i cry every time i listen to 7x70..my family was very dysfunctional wen i was younger...im now 15..adopted and i accepted jesus christ as my savior (on a starry night haha) when i was 13..he has changed my life in incredible ways..and i know if it wasnt for the issues with my family...i would NOT be the person i am today...right now 7x70 and starry are my favorite songs hands down..i love you and the owrk you are doing!!!
This song was my favorite song when I listened completely through your album for the first time and after hearing how it came about a couple of times, it just means that much more. God is good. You're a great guy Chris, no doubt.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for writing this song! The first time I heard it I was listening to Klove! I was on my way to school and almost had to pull over because I was crying so hard!! I just kept thinking "this is my life"!! I went through the same thing growing up and it took me a long time to "forgive"!! But God has been so good to me and he helped me deal with the pain!! Thank you again for this beautiful song! I cant listen to it without bawling!!
@kclements1991 This experience is true for alot of us!! This song from Chris August has been the catalyst for many people to begin healing. I found that was true for me.... a broken home from age 3 onwards...then alot of people came into my life to shelter and protect me and my mom.....that was God...God was protecting us through the storm..I don't know what your experience was but I hope you are healing through iit and by the process of forgiveness. I hope you will continue to see God's love!
@kclements1991 Exactly what I am going through. I have grown up watching nmy mom, uncle and now my dad become very sick with mental illness. It all started when i was 6/7 years old. I fell like I have been robbed of my childhood- i had to grow up and learn not to ask or say some things. My mom and uncle are better now, but I still am very distant from my dad. Hearing this song really got me and I have since forgiven and everything seems better. God is so good!

For along time I have been thinking that I must be really special and 'chosen' by God because I was born 7/7/70.
Despite this I have been having real problems with keeping unforgiveness in my heart.
I now realise that my birthday wasn't a special blessing, but a reminder as to how many times I need to forgive.
Thank you Lord.

Praise God that he led you to write this song because it touched my heart
going deeper to what hurts, but forgiveness that sets you free

This song was my favorite song when I listened completely through your album for the first time and after hearing how it came about a couple of times, it just means that much more. God is good. You're a great guy Chris, no doubt.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for writing this song! The first time I heard it I was listening to Klove! I was on my way to school and almost had to pull over because I was crying so hard!! I just kept thinking "this is my life"!! I went through the same thing growing up and it took me a long time to "forgive"!! But God has been so good to me and he helped me deal with the pain!! Thank you again for this beautiful song! I cant listen to it without bawling!!

@kclements1991 This experience is true for alot of us!! This song from Chris August has been the catalyst for many people to begin healing. I found that was true for me.... a broken home from age 3 onwards...then alot of people came into my life to shelter and protect me and my mom.....that was God...God was protecting us through the storm..I don't know what your experience was but I hope you are healing through iit and by the process of forgiveness. I hope you will continue to see God's love!

@kclements1991 Exactly what I am going through. I have grown up watching nmy mom, uncle and now my dad become very sick with mental illness. It all started when i was 6/7 years old. I fell like I have been robbed of my childhood- i had to grow up and learn not to ask or say some things. My mom and uncle are better now, but I still am very distant from my dad. Hearing this song really got me and I have since forgiven and everything seems better. God is so good!
