    “I'm Not Who I Was”
    I wish you could see me now
    I wish I could show you how
    I'm not who I was
    I used to be mad at you
    A little on the hurt side too
    But I'm not who I was
    I found my way around
    To forgiving you some time ago
    But I never got to tell you so...
    I found us in a photograph
    I saw me and I had to laugh
    You know I'm not who I was
    You were there, you were right above me
    And I wondered if you ever loved me
    Just for who I was
    When the pain came back again
    Like a bitter friend
    It was all that I could do
    To keep myself from blaming you
    Thinkin' it's a funny thing
    Figured out I could sing
    Now I'm not who I was
    Write about love and such
    Maybe cause I want it so much
    I'm not who I was
    I was thinking' maybe I
    Should let you know
    That I am not the same
    That I never did forget your name
    Hello...
    Ooh Nah nah nah nah nah
    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
    I wish you could see me now
    I wish I could show you how
    I'm not who I was...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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...

    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 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.

    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 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 NOT WHO I WAS
    I wish you could see me now
    I wish I could show you how
    I'm not who I was
    I used to be mad at you
    A little on the hurt side too
    But I'm not who I was
    I found my way around
    To forgiving you some time ago
    But I never got to tell you so
    I found us in a photograph
    I saw me and I had to laugh
    You know, I'm not who I was
    You were there, you were right above me
    And I wonder if you ever loved me
    Just for who I was
    When the pain came back again
    Like a bitter friend it was all that I could do
    To keep myself from blaming you
    I reckon it's a funny thing
    I figured out I can sing
    Now I'm not who I was
    I write about love and such
    Maybe 'cause I want it so much
    I'm not who I was
    I was thinking maybe I
    I should let you know that I am not the same
    But I never did forget your name, hello
    Well the thing I find most amazing
    In amazing grace is the chance to give it out
    Maybe that's what love is all about
    I wish you could see me now
    I wish I could show you how
    I'm not who I was

    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've learned that sometimes you can love someone with all your heart, but that someone may not be your destiny, they may not even love you back, and that's okay. Love isn't conditional. There is a girl who I fell in love with some time ago who I knew that I would never, ever be able to be with. She and I no longer speak today, but she taught me to live my life wide open, love others, respect others, and have no regrets. Most importantly, she taught me that loving yourself is the most important thing of all. If I could talk to her today, I would tell her that I was sorry for not seeing things from her side, sorry for the pain I caused her. I would tell her thank you for being such an important person in my life. I would tell her that I'm not who I was. And I would tell her that I wish her nothing but happiness and good luck in her journey, and that while we may have different paths, I will be one of her fans, cheering her on along the way.

    Loving Father, thank you that you have forgiven my sin at the cross. You have promised that my transgressions will be removed as far as the east is from the west. As I reflect on the many ways I have failed to do the right thing, I come to you in repentance and faith, trusting that all my sins have been washed away by Jesus’ blood. Give me assurance that I am clothed in your righteousness and that I am blameless before you. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

    I logged into my old MySpace account after idk 12 years of forgetting about it , I found this song on my profile , I don’t remember posting it , but I know who it was towards , my biological mom , she killed Herself when I was 9 months old , my grandma adopted me , she ended up telling me when I was around 8 years old what really happened to my mom , I grew up with so much hatred , until I faced depression myself in my teens . I realized why she did what she did , and I forgave her , coming across this song after so many years , I’m beyond speechless, while I know for most people this is toward god , it’s towards someone I never knew

    Listening to this song makes me feel alot better, I decided at a young age like 12-13 I hated my parents with a passion. My father for not being there, and my mother for conceiving me. Yes I hated her for giving birth to me. I am doing a little better now, there is still some bitterness now i'm 17 and still need help. I doubted gods existence because of the way my life is. I thought that I work hard, I do good, I try. So why do I suffer, why am I always being tested. Why am I just not happy? I still do not know. Suicide is a constant thought, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

      Mike, I know how you feel. for 35 years i did not believe in God or Jesus. I was an alcoholic and addict for 20 years and had smilar thoughts. I cried out to Jesus one night and have not been the same since. He took away my addictions. He brought me peace and hope. He changed my heart. He SET ME FREE!!!! He can do the same for you. Never underestimate the power of God and the love God has for us. He wants to heal us but only if we truly accept Christ as our Savior.

      Being tested just makes you stronger. A lot of good people, christians, will always go through many hardships. I'm a prime example. Lived a life full of drug dealing, gun slinging, brawling, alcoholism, car accidents, jail time, lost friendships and family, etc. It's truly amazing I'm still here. I've always believed and just recently got my relationship with God right. My life is about to take off, good news in my future. Patience and faith will overcome anything. I promise it will be better.
