At the age of 27, while listening to this song for the first time, I felt His presence for the first time... and my atheist life ended. I'm 42 and and I've never looked back.
@@poppyozark awe hey it gets better.. for one reason.. God is your source , May you hold on tight not to distractions .. not anything else but hold on tight to Jesus .. Who is Your lighthouse in your storms
I am an addict, I am also a Christian. I had serious doubt just twenty mins ago about life. I have been baptised before. I have never truly prayed. Until I had hit my bottom. Then eyes bawling, I sat there and prayed genuinely for help. I prayed for a sign. A reason why I should keep going, and a reason why I can't just start over and be happy with who I am. Then I said amen. And o went to UA-cam to one of my favorite songs give me your eyes by Brandon Heath. And accidentally hit this song. I saw the name and it all came clear. I can be who I want to be. Why can't I start over. Why can't I be who god wants me to be. But most of all I can be happy. I have had a spiritual awakening due to god and you Brandon Heath. So god bless you so much. Thank you. Amen.
That incredible journey my friend from being in wonder of the world to the arriving at the amazing God. Look back on your own journey and interact. "I found us in a photograph, I saw me and I had to laugh cause I am not who I was."
amen brother! after I was baptised , that fire he gives, changed Everything! although I still sin, BC noone is perfect, it's much less and my spiritual eyes are opened giving me an advantage over the enemy and I'm in love with Christ!
I love the part where Brandon went, "hello" as if you came across someone you once knew, but you're a different person now and it's like meeting them all over again. It's funny cause I've played this song many times when I was a teenager, but it didn't really resonate with me until now. Looking back with a clear mind, I can see that sometimes things happen and people comes and goes and we change. There are some people I do miss and some I still care for, but will love them in a distance. There are some people I'd love to shoot a message with this link just to show them that I'm not who I once was. But at the same time, I do not want to bother them and wish them well. I'm sure some of them have changed too.
@@rodriguezgomez7515MEEE TOO!! LOL I ALWAYS SAY 👋 👋 👋 HI WHEN HE SAYS HELLO!! JUST REALLY GET TOUCHED BY THIS SONG MORE THAN THE OTHERS. EVEN THO I REALLY LIKE OTHER SONGS TOO! THIS ONE JUST HAS A EXTRA SPECIAL TOUCH ❤❤❤
Oh my goodness, this song hits home with me so much. I used to be such a different person, self-centered, manipulative, needy and struggled with mental illness. God has brought me so far, healed me so much but I had a close friend step out a year ago and I wish I could tell her I'm better, who God has made me. I'm an overcomer, I've conquered so much and I'm not the same, praise the LORD!
Shannon Quesenberry I know exactly what you mean. Just yesterday I was going down the road and this song came on. I knew right away that GOD wanted me to hear it. I like you have had problems with depression, health but most of all problems with a person that I love so much I hurt him but he he has cut ties with me I've tried everything to get him to forgive me and he acts like I don't exist. I wish he would give me a chance to tell him that IM NOT WHO I WAS...
This is the very song that represents my 40 years of being in this world and every single thing I've ever been through. To you Brandon Heath you forever changed my life because it was this very song that led me back to the one person who was always there, even when I couldn't feel him:GOD. Thank you for what you do and know that you are loved beyond measure ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢.
All believers can identify with this song. Great inspirational video!!! 2 Corinthians 4:16 "Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day."
I'm not who I was, it was an overnight change. I was a secular leftist that wanted to join Islam (although, to be honest it was cause I wanted a hijab), and then I woke up one day and had the strongest urge to read the Bible. Hallelujah
I think of my past as I listen. I used to live by my will. That included alcohol and drugs. Sober after four years and I'm not who I was. Of myself I am nothing. The Father doeth the works. Thy will be done. Not mine.
Jay Hensley.....my dear one......CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Have a Wonderful, Blissful Holiday Season.....As I see you have a NEW life ahead of you.....kiss and hugs to you.....my great friend......
I'm 18 y'all I'm picking my life up slowly but surely I'm on 3 years probation but God has got my back. When my momma died when I was 12 I blamed God. But then I realized that thing happen for a reason and reasons that shape your life and who you are
Look up Jordan Peterson sometimes when we don’t have a good father figure or mother life can be hard we all look for gods love but in the wrong things sometimes when your parents smother you they make weak people but only through our sufferings do we realize how blessed we are love yourself first so that gods love can be reflected back to other people blessings
I use to be angry at god for a few years but he has turn my life around and made me the caring an loving person I am today a miracle was active in my life now I love god so much I was baptized and have the strongest faith now so I felt like this is my song
I am not the man I ought to be, I am not the man I wish to be and I am not the man I hope to be, but, by the grace of God, I am not the man I used to be- John Newton- Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.[a] The old has passed away; behold, the new has come- 2 Corinthians 5:17
The thing that is so amazing about this song is that it relates to so many things - your relationship with an ex, your relationship with estranged family members, your relationship with God, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself.
It is amazing how this song can affect so many people in so many different ways. He wrote this to his step mother, but the spirit of it is helping so many in all kinds of ways. Thank you.
Listening to this song more closely, I never realized what he was going for, how its about reaching out to an old friend of some sort, what an amazing discovery. God heals all wounds.
I have been raised as a Christian my entire life, but it took a horrible life altering decision I made several years ago, and the prayer and forgiveness from my wonderful pastor to make me actually find the Lord. From that day on, my life was forever changed and I most definitely I'm not who I was. My father and I grew up always loving each other, but not liking each other very much and unfortunately he passed away before he was able to see this change in me. So, listening to this song resonated so deeply that I just needed to take the time and let you know. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of this song.
I'm a 59 year old woman and right now I feel so good in my heart ! Brandon Heath ,I pray that God will continue to bless you with more awesome songs .I can never listen to 'Give Me Your Eyes " and The light in Me " and Jesus in Disguise" enough.
GOD WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU!! I'm in a struggle right now trying to stay sober as an underaged alcoholic. I was homeless living in a tent, and prayed about a place to stay and God continues to open doors for me day by day moment by moment. All I have to do is LOVE AND TRUST HIM. God is soooooo good Amen? 😁
Stay safe & I pray the Lord connects you with right people to provide guidance & any provision you may need. Very PROUD of you 👏 🥰 💛 ❤ -remember JESUS IS LORD!❤😂🎉
i can relate to this song so much... not everyone stays the same and sometimes it takes a broken heart to see who you are is not who u wanna be merry Christmas everyone
Thank you saying that I'm a Christian but I'm going through alot plz pray for me plz God Bless you and your family and you have a Blessed Christmas and New year's
@@davidbecerra2273,I don't know the pain and suffering you're facing. What I know personally is that God has been consistently Faithful in my life. We all have experience hurt and pain guilt and then comes the shame. Father I pray for David Becerra. In the name of Jesus remove the fears and doubts in his life. I pray as he looks to you by praying ,fasting and reading your Word. That his Faith will grow. And that he will have a stronger relationship with you personally. Seeking you at all costs. Letting go of old stagnant relationships. And unhealth friendships. Give him the heart to repent and asked for forgiveness of all confessed sin. Strengthen David that he will follow you all the way. In Jesus Name Amen.
❤thank. God for forgiveness I figured out when I forgave my husband and family and all the people who hurt me I was blessed with healings of all my mental health issues God has blessed my whole life and started me to where I love who I am and love me I haven't loved myself since I was three I hope one day my husband gets right with God and chose me I matter maybe we'll even have a life together🎉
God keeps putting this song on my playlist - seriously, for months this has been coming up. So tonight I wrote a message long over due. The beauty is the embrace of our Lord in an earthly moment that could have destroyed me. It didn't. So, it was time to say, I'm not who I was and praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ who loves us just as who we are! Brandon, thank you for sharing something that lives today just as much as when you recorded this amazing song!
For me, these lyrics are what I would have wanted to say to my folks. The unbalanced years of childhood sexual abuse by a neighbor and the rough home life created so much chaos in my young life. Years of therapy (with a skilled therapist) helped to untangle nearly all of it. There are still threads that show up. Those who caused the turmoil are long gone but the affects remain. This tune goes deep. I know my story parallels Brandon’s.
I just found out that my ex died last year, this song hits hard because I never had the chance to ask for forgiveness and to be able to say "I'm not who I was!!" I think GOD everyday that I'm not!!! If you have people in your life that you need to tell these words to, please take the time to tell them. Peace and Blessings to all who take time to read this.
I found this two days ago on KLOV on way to work, and was moved to tears; it rings so true and from the heart. I wondered who it was, made a mental note, and found it later. I heard it all that night in my head while working, and that proved what a powerful song it was. Christian or not, makes no difference; it's from the heart, and that is how one person connects to another.
I never thought it could happen, but the craziest old Army buddy of mine finally let me know he was hanging with Jesus again, no more Judast Priests and that made ne happy so I turned on some music I used to love It's me Lord 😢
I think so many of us can relate to the words of this song. Even if we have been hurt by someone in our past, when we realize the forgiveness Jesus has offered us, we are able to extend it to others.
On my way to Georgia . I had not heard this song in so many years, it is a wonderful song. A blessing for me today in knowing that God knows who I am and he knows my name.
This song hits home for me. My boyfriend just broke up with me recently and it's been a bit hard. But God is good and He gave me family and friends who have been very supportive and I know He's always there for me. This whole experience has Ben a great learning one. I'm not who I was!
Kingdom of Narnia hi how you.lm fine..l will be your friend,,u can get thousand of boyfriends or frieds :-) u can contact me at louisberthier44@gmail.com
Ouch. I'm sorry for you. I am glad that you recognize that God is for you though! You're an overcomer. :) "I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:12b-13 NLT
I cry and drop to my knees every time I remember the night I called on Jesus and he reached into the deep abyss and pulled me out into his light. I was told by many I was hopeless. I believed the doctors and specialist and fell into a deep depression that eventually led to drugs and almost death. But Jesus said he wasn’t done with me. He picked me up and held me up through it all!! Today I am drug free, depression free, and am healed!! Jesus!! Only your name. The name above all names!!!!! No Phd in the world can do what he does. 👑❤️👑
I heard this song when it first came out. I loved it. Listened to it over and over! Living in Tulsa, OK. I am a PK and unless you have lived that basically it's like no one understands. I walked away from God although at the time of the song coming out, I was walking towards him and it helped me heal. Still went astray, and I had not heard it in in years. I have made many different choices since then, good and bad. But I moved to SC with the help of my brother and I heard it the other day on HIS Radio. It has been a progressive move to say the least, but since I have moved here and with the help of my church and HIS radio, I have since made some changes towards where I need to be with Christ. Thank you Brandon for your ministry and your truth and hopefully when you are back in Greenville SC, please come and see us at Brookwood Church! and HIS Radio ROCKS!
Came across a shirt from a concert I'm not who I was, and realized I haven't listened to this song in a long time. Too long. But here I am. I'm not who I was ☀️
I wasn't raised religious but spiritual, so this song has touched my heart in a profound way. I'm still dealing with the reality, late last year, of having to say goodbye to my mom as I knew her all my life. Even if she exists still in another way, it's been the most difficult journey of my life so far. That said, every day I feel I've inched just a tiny bit more forward... and today I thought of her and this song and it meant a hell of a lot. So thank you for its existence.
+Erica Mills it's the only thing that keeps me going. I've lost both of my inlaws within 18 months. Though they weren't my biological parents, I loved them as if they were. Take care, sweetie.
+Erica Mills I was raised religious however when I see someone say these things I get emotional. I wish there was some way for me to show you that its ok to be upset. Crying for me a way of healing. I always feel better when I do. I loved my grandmother and she was my religious guide in some way. Since her death I kinda lost what was important and what she spent her life teaching me. I do agree that even if your not religious people are capable of amazing things and great change. Its up to them to be the change they want to see in the world.
My old friend sent me this video to remind me that I was the one that introduced her to this song many years ago. I don’t even remember anymore but it’s crazy how faith works to remind you that even the smallest of good works are never forgotten. To Jesus be the glory!
By God's grace - I too am no longer Who I Used to Be. Rarely does a song speak to me the way this one has. By the look of things, I'm not alone. No Retreat, No Surrender, No Regrets - give it all to the Lord.
Amen, Love this song!! I'm not who I was in the past, once I have found Jesus, I was transformed to a new woman in Christ. Ever since that day I have never been the same. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. 👏🏼💖
I had some lyrics written down on a piece of paper, type them in and it gave me you and this song. It’s not the video that I wanted… But it’s a pleasant accident. You have a beautiful voice, I love this song and I just subscribe today March 6, 2024. Thank you Brandon 😊❤
I recently had a healing from years of being bitter with my parents. After being prayed for, I was in my car driving and this song came on Klove. It made me smile. I never was able to tell my Mom and Dad that I forgave them.. and they are since gone on to be with the LORD. But I know that if they are looking down at me, they are smiling, as "I'm not who I was" either!! Thank you for this wonderful testimony!! How could anybody say anything negative about it? I suppose that "hurting people do hur
I'm not who iv ever been Thanks and Glory to God I wish my family and my husband could see how I have changed its in Jesus Christ hands timing is best when God plans cone together
My husband and I saw u in concert with third day this year or last I can't remember. you were absolutely amazing. I remember closing my eyes and softly clapping and singing to God. God is amazing.
Beautiful and powerful song. I cry every time I hear this song! When you experiences God's grace and forgiveness toward yourself, it changes you, and then you are able to extent grace and forgiveness toward others who have hurt you. There is freedom in that.
I am the broken of the broken, shattered of the shattered and christ never left me. All along hebkept saying to come to me child. I am delivered of the worst kind of man I was. Christ IS King.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of my brother singing it from heaven, his feet hanging from the clouds as he sits up there. I miss him so much, and I pray that up there in heaven he knows how much he really was loved here. We sure do miss you, Josh. Keep rejoicing with our Savior. I know that you ARE a new creation in Him and that you are happy and at peace.
This song just rocked my world to the core. I've heard this song so many times. But the best part is how the holy spirit continues to speak when you think he's silent. And he uses small things like this little simple song is to press the reset button on everything you think, and put you back in your place and learn to show Grace.
This song made me cry, cause I feel I've been turning back to God and my christian way of life, and now I cannot say ''I'm not who I was'' in a good way.
It's pretty easy to look around at this world and realize that we're heading straight for the cliff..our gov't is fighting against us at every turn, we're trying to take God out of EVERYTHING. I cannot even imagine how bad it will be, if/when He gives us our wish, and turns His back. You Can Accept Jesus as your Savior, right now!! He Is Real, He is Alive, He Is Risen and He Still Loves You, more than we can even comprehend. God Bless those that have already, and praying for those contemplating.
This song gives me so much peace. I have both received and given offense in my life. But we're all just muddling through this thing called life the best we can. I don't understand everyone's challenges and past experiences fully. Nor do they understand mine. But Christ does. That's what grace is for.
None remains the same after they meet Jesus. If you are, you just met him, you don't know him. When JESUS is in your heart and mind, you can't help but change, to a better person.
At the age of 27, while listening to this song for the first time, I felt His presence for the first time... and my atheist life ended. I'm 42 and and I've never looked back.
Amazing!!
On the road too. I wasn't an atheist I just never trusted to let go of ME. Hang in there. God is walking one step behind you.
Welcome home, brother/sister in Christ 🥰
My heart could burst with joy!!
This made my day and today has been a tough one. Thank you for sharing
@@poppyozark awe hey it gets better.. for one reason.. God is your source , May you hold on tight not to distractions .. not anything else but hold on tight to Jesus .. Who is Your lighthouse in your storms
To those of us who Jesus pulled out of the mud, this has meaning!

@@davidbecerra2273,I don't know the pain and suffering you're facing.
What I know personally is that God has been consistently Faithful in my life.
We all have experience hurt and pain guilt and then comes the shame.
Father I pray for David Becerra.
In the name of Jesus remove the fears and doubts in his life.
I pray as he looks to you by praying ,fasting and reading your Word.
That his Faith will grow.
And that he will have a stronger relationship with you personally.
Seeking you at all costs.
Letting go of old stagnant relationships. And unhealth
friendships.
Give him the heart to repent and asked for forgiveness of all confessed sin.
Strengthen David that he will follow you all the way.
In Jesus Name Amen.
The Life Of Scott so can i more than u ever know as i look at my sons eyes
'And the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about' =] such an amazing song!!!
Hello friend how are you doing today
When the pain came back again like a bitter friend, it was all that I could do to keep myself from blaming you.. - felt that one
❤thank. God for forgiveness I figured out when I forgave my husband and family and all the people who hurt me I was blessed with healings of all my mental health issues God has blessed my whole life and started me to where I love who I am and love me I haven't loved myself since I was three I hope one day my husband gets right with God and chose me I matter maybe we'll even have a life together🎉
Don't give up! God loves us for who we are
Hello Mary how are you doing today
God keeps putting this song on my playlist - seriously, for months this has been coming up. So tonight I wrote a message long over due. The beauty is the embrace of our Lord in an earthly moment that could have destroyed me. It didn't. So, it was time to say, I'm not who I was and praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ who loves us just as who we are! Brandon, thank you for sharing something that lives today just as much as when you recorded this amazing song!
AMEN an INSTANT FOREVER TEAR JERKER BRING YOU TO JESUS SONG 🎵 🙏 💙 🙌 ❤️❤❤ ITS TRULY BEAUTIFUL!
For me, these lyrics are what I would have wanted to say to my folks. The unbalanced years of childhood sexual abuse by a neighbor and the rough home life created so much chaos in my young life.
Years of therapy (with a skilled therapist) helped to untangle nearly all of it. There are still threads that show up.
Those who caused the turmoil are long gone but the affects remain. This tune goes deep.
I know my story parallels Brandon’s.
Wow. My life parallels yours, not exactly but extremely close.
@@Alantor360 There are more of us (abused boys) than many realize.
Brandon is a survivor, too.
@alanolson6913 Wow. God bless us all! 🙏🏽 I am female. : )
@@Alantor360 Male or female, we’re survivors together in our Lord.
@@alanolson6913 Amen! 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤️
2022...still loving this song 15 years later. 💚
Thank you JESUS, 4 Your perfect love, presence, changing me everyday. Thanks Brandon. Amazing song! GOD bless you!
Holy Spirit doing his work, love him so much ❤️🙏
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today
I just found out that my ex died last year, this song hits hard because I never had the chance to ask for forgiveness and to be able to say "I'm not who I was!!" I think GOD everyday that I'm not!!! If you have people in your life that you need to tell these words to, please take the time to tell them. Peace and Blessings to all who take time to read this.
Sorry about that man... May Jesus be with you.
We all have regrets brother. Im glad Jesus is all about second chances.
Only God has the power to change us and to make us new. Not us. Every good and perfect thing cometh from above.
I found this two days ago on KLOV on way to work, and was moved to tears; it rings so true and from the heart. I wondered who it was, made a mental note, and found it later. I heard it all that night in my head while working, and that proved what a powerful song it was. Christian or not, makes no difference; it's from the heart, and that is how one person connects to another.
To ALL that ENJOY the comments 😊
WE are no longer a "USED 2 BE"🙏
🙌Thanks be to GOD🙌
Thank you JESUS ❤
Thank you HOLY SPIRIT 🕊
I never thought it could happen, but the craziest old Army buddy of mine finally let me know he was hanging with Jesus again, no more Judast Priests and that made ne happy so I turned on some music I used to love
It's me Lord 😢
2021 still touches this 49yrs gangsters heart.
😆😇😁🥰
I think so many of us can relate to the words of this song. Even if we have been hurt by someone in our past, when we realize the forgiveness Jesus has offered us, we are able to extend it to others.
Hello Lorrie how are you doing today
One day I hope you'll understand......you couldn't find your own strength if I kept rescuing you. I'll always be praying for you.......💜
Hello friend how are you doing today
On my way to Georgia . I had not heard this song in so many years, it is a wonderful song. A blessing for me today in knowing that God knows who I am and he knows my name.
Hello friend how are you doing today
This song hits home for me. My boyfriend just broke up with me recently and it's been a bit hard. But God is good and He gave me family and friends who have been very supportive and I know He's always there for me. This whole experience has Ben a great learning one. I'm not who I was!
Hoo lm so sorry.
Louis Berthiert Thank you. It'll be alright though. I'm not really sad anymore, it's just taking a little bit to adjust.
Kingdom of Narnia hi how you.lm fine..l will be your friend,,u can get thousand of boyfriends or frieds :-) u can contact me at louisberthier44@gmail.com
Ouch. I'm sorry for you. I am glad that you recognize that God is for you though! You're an overcomer. :)
"I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."

+Atri Abacabb Thank you!
This song helped me heal from years of bullying. I can forgive my tormentors because God first forgave me.
Hello friend how are you doing today
This whole cd is awesome 👌
Here in 2022 and it's just as good ❤️
Thankful for my faith and relationship with Christ. I fail daily and he STILL loves me unconditionally
Hello Melissa how are you doing today
I love this song and now that I am in Gods presence I can say I really know who I am and I am Gods and now I can really say I am not who I was. 😊❤
I cry and drop to my knees every time I remember the night I called on Jesus and he reached into the deep abyss and pulled me out into his light. I was told by many I was hopeless. I believed the doctors and specialist and fell into a deep depression that eventually led to drugs and almost death. But Jesus said he wasn’t done with me. He picked me up and held me up through it all!! Today I am drug free, depression free, and am healed!! Jesus!! Only your name. The name above all names!!!!! No Phd in the world can do what he does. 👑❤️👑
I have almost the exact same story
Same@@mewxtwo
Thank you Brandon Heath for your open honesty and your sincere love of God, it shines through your beautiful music!
Hello Kathy how are you doing today
this song never gets old
I heard this song when it first came out. I loved it. Listened to it over and over! Living in Tulsa, OK. I am a PK and unless you have lived that basically it's like no one understands. I walked away from God although at the time of the song coming out, I was walking towards him and it helped me heal. Still went astray, and I had not heard it in in years. I have made many different choices since then, good and bad. But I moved to SC with the help of my brother and I heard it the other day on HIS Radio. It has been a progressive move to say the least, but since I have moved here and with the help of my church and HIS radio, I have since made some changes towards where I need to be with Christ. Thank you Brandon for your ministry and your truth and hopefully when you are back in Greenville SC, please come and see us at Brookwood Church! and HIS Radio ROCKS!
Hello friend how are you doing today
Came across a shirt from a concert I'm not who I was, and realized I haven't listened to this song in a long time. Too long. But here I am. I'm not who I was ☀️
I do not think I have heard a song without a chorus before this one.
+TheAres1999 good catch, never noticed! maybe that's why it's so unique and catchy.
1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: Faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Hello friend how are you doing today
I wasn't raised religious but spiritual, so this song has touched my heart in a profound way. I'm still dealing with the reality, late last year, of having to say goodbye to my mom as I knew her all my life. Even if she exists still in another way, it's been the most difficult journey of my life so far. That said, every day I feel I've inched just a tiny bit more forward... and today I thought of her and this song and it meant a hell of a lot. So thank you for its existence.
I'm so sorry about the loss of your mom. You will see her again. Hold on to that and you will feel her in your heart.
Thank you, dear. I'll try to keep that in mind.
+Erica Mills it's the only thing that keeps me going. I've lost both of my inlaws within 18 months. Though they weren't my biological parents, I loved them as if they were. Take care, sweetie.
gollapr
I'm so sorry for your loss, and thank you again.
+Erica Mills I was raised religious however when I see someone say these things I get emotional. I wish there was some way for me to show you that its ok to be upset. Crying for me a way of healing. I always feel better when I do. I loved my grandmother and she was my religious guide in some way. Since her death I kinda lost what was important and what she spent her life teaching me. I do agree that even if your not religious people are capable of amazing things and great change. Its up to them to be the change they want to see in the world.
My old friend sent me this video to remind me that I was the one that introduced her to this song many years ago. I don’t even remember anymore but it’s crazy how faith works to remind you that even the smallest of good works are never forgotten. To Jesus be the glory!
First time I heard this, I had to pull off the road; literally could not see for the tears. Those whisper sounds get into my soul.
By God's grace - I too am no longer Who I Used to Be. Rarely does a song speak to me the way this one has. By the look of things, I'm not alone. No Retreat, No Surrender, No Regrets - give it all to the Lord.
This song is close to my heart.
Me too
Amen, Love this song!! I'm not who I was in the past, once I have found Jesus, I was transformed to a new woman in Christ. Ever since that day I have never been the same. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus. 👏🏼💖
Amen and Amen
To God be the Glory
#AllPraisesToTheMostHigh ❤🎵🙏🏻
I had some lyrics written down on a piece of paper, type them in and it gave me you and this song. It’s not the video that I wanted… But it’s a pleasant accident. You have a beautiful voice, I love this song and I just subscribe today March 6, 2024. Thank you Brandon 😊❤
"Still An Amazing Song and Heartfelt & Inspiring Message of God's Love In Jesus Christ ... "HELLO!"
Hello Kathy how are you doing today
I recently had a healing from years of being bitter with my parents. After being prayed for, I was in my car driving and this song came on Klove. It made me smile. I never was able to tell my Mom and Dad that I forgave them.. and they are since gone on to be with the LORD. But I know that if they are looking down at me, they are smiling, as "I'm not who I was" either!! Thank you for this wonderful testimony!! How could anybody say anything negative about it? I suppose that "hurting people do hur
Man, Brandon sure does have a gift for writing catchy, meaningful and memorable songs. Love this tune, along with many others of his.
I'm not who iv ever been Thanks and Glory to God I wish my family and my husband could see how I have changed its in Jesus Christ hands timing is best when God plans cone together
My husband and I saw u in concert with third day this year or last I can't remember. you were absolutely amazing. I remember closing my eyes and softly clapping and singing to God. God is amazing.
Hello friend how are you doing today
♥️❤️♥️ goodnight God bless you all🙏🏻
Im not who i was before bc i thank you jesus, you are the light in my eyes😊
Hello friend how are you doing today
Beautiful and powerful song. I cry every time I hear this song! When you experiences God's grace and forgiveness toward yourself, it changes you, and then you are able to extent grace and forgiveness toward others who have hurt you. There is freedom in that.
I am the broken of the broken, shattered of the shattered and christ never left me. All along hebkept saying to come to me child. I am delivered of the worst kind of man I was. Christ IS King.
I'm not who I was.
I prayed, I begged. I surrendered! He answered.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of my brother singing it from heaven, his feet hanging from the clouds as he sits up there. I miss him so much, and I pray that up there in heaven he knows how much he really was loved here. We sure do miss you, Josh. Keep rejoicing with our Savior. I know that you ARE a new creation in Him and that you are happy and at peace.

that's not mine lol

hello everyone my name is Manuel Antonio Gonzales and i live in Wichita falls tx pin code is 76301 how is everyone doing today huh
This song just rocked my world to the core. I've heard this song so many times. But the best part is how the holy spirit continues to speak when you think he's silent. And he uses small things like this little simple song is to press the reset button on everything you think, and put you back in your place and learn to show Grace.
This song made me cry, cause I feel I've been turning back to God and my christian way of life, and now I cannot say ''I'm not who I was'' in a good way.
I like to show my dad how much I grew up in to the word of God but he died 😢😢 before I did
Hello friend
I'm not a Christian anymore but I still dig this jam. Who's with me in 2020?
What happened?
I don't see how anyone could NOT love this song. I think it's beautiful!
Hello Shelley how are you doing today
2024 anyone?🎉
☝🏻
Sept. 3, 2024. I was recovering from cancer surgery in Oct of 2008 when I discovered Brandon Heath & this CD. I love it.💖
❤🎶🎶🎶❤
Yes!! Absolutely love everything about this song!
11/22/24 ❤
Thank You Lord for changing me. I'm not who i was today because of what your Son did for us.
Very relaxing christian music.
It's pretty easy to look around at this world and realize that we're heading straight for the cliff..our gov't is fighting against us at every turn, we're trying to take God out of EVERYTHING. I cannot even imagine how bad it will be, if/when He gives us our wish, and turns His back. You Can Accept Jesus as your Savior, right now!! He Is Real, He is Alive, He Is Risen and He Still Loves You, more than we can even comprehend. God Bless those that have already, and praying for those contemplating.
I know I am not who I was. GOD has for giving me. I am now his.
Hello friend how are you doing today
This song gives me so much peace. I have both received and given offense in my life. But we're all just muddling through this thing called life the best we can. I don't understand everyone's challenges and past experiences fully. Nor do they understand mine. But Christ does. That's what grace is for.
I thank God "I am not who I use to be I've been saved by his by Grace
Hello Debra how are you doing today
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away behold, all things became new.
None remains the same after they meet Jesus. If you are, you just met him, you don't know him. When JESUS is in your heart and mind, you can't help but change, to a better person.
Thank you for your God-honoring music.
