Who just randomly thought about this song after years of not listening to it and searched for it on here?
Me
I wish people would stop criticizing this song. The purpose of it is admitting to living in your "own little world", and asking God to bring you out of it, and showing you the bigger picture in life, and your full potential. To start considering things beside yourself. It's honestly opened my eyes to so many things.
I don't see any criticizing comments..

Eyes 2 see.
The light.
The love walk...
Why not?
God sees this.
And all of heaven.
"By faith"...
I feel you man
I agree.
Amen.
*Love it!! I'm a Jewish Christian UA-camr from Israel btw :)*
Great. I congratulate you on your christan faith and conversion from Jewish to Christan! Praise be to God!!!
Loved Mathew west ever since I was little
God bless you and Israel young man... Jesus is my Chief Cornerstone, He is my everything. ... Blessings my friend.
Hananya Naftali Jewish Christian? How does that work?
@@whosthisantichrist I think he means by saying how he was jewish but now christian. Just my guess tho.
Population ME, that's the way of the World. We are called to a higher purpose < Let's not live in our own little world... Share God's love, serve others!
It isn't about us we need to reach out not inward. I've felt the joy of the lord ministering to people when I felt depressed I'd take walks God would lead me to someone who needed to hear about him!. We are the hands and feet of Jesus!
It's sad how much we missing out when we get stuck in our own little world. God has more for us out there in the real world. Just step out in faith and let Him blow your mind. May God awaken and sustain us as we serve Him faithfully and humbly wherever you are for His Glory. Loving it from Durban, South Africa.
My lord! Jesus! Help me! I don't know why i am here. Lord my family is abandoning me! My girlfriend left me and i feel like i just have nothing else left, maybe because for the longest time i have treated her like a queen in my life and placed her higher than you. Lord I am falling a part at the seems financially. a seventeen year old shouldn't have to worry about debt and finding a home. Lord i ask for your help! This is my battle cry. I am raising my white flag and giving it all to you!
Dear Jesus, I come to You in prayer for Carlos, please pour your out favor and blessing upon his life. Touch his heart, Lord, and fill him with Your Holy Spirit, for I know he still believes, and deep down in his heart of hearts, he wants to walk with You again. Amen. It's never too late to run to the Father. He loves you, Carlos.
When I fall deep into depression & become so consumed in my own darkness, this song helps bring me back to a place of compassion.
You're not alone, I do the same
Amen 🙏
my population grew by 2 today thank JESUS
Hell... Mine doesn't grow,EVER. LITERALLY!
Only for a couple hrs on Tuesdays, my kids & grand kids...
@@christinaoallen6298 then I guess it does grow. Keep in mind, that which u do with them is being spread and thus ur population is growing. Their vessels and what you pour into them is being shared. Praise God forever.
Father break my heart with what breaks your, give me open hands and open doors, Put Your light in my eyes and let me see, That my own little world is not about me. In Jesus mighty name I pray. Amen.
Corenna Waller thank you for helping me realize how worng I've been God bless you

Corenna Waller amen!
C Waller AMMEEENNN!!! 💖💖💖
When you have nothing left but God, you realize God is enough
Stormbackscar that is so true.
Stormbackscar I totally agree
Yh...He is...He really is. He's the best
@@danielcatoe3901 this song helped me get sober vand cured . 7/5/'15 marked 5 Heoin free . By his glory . And May 4th /'15 cancer free .
THOS not only applies to Christians. I'm an atheist, but I love this song. We all need to step out of our comfort zones and do something for another. Our individual lives don't matter. We really matter when we all stick together and coexist. It's not even just about tolerating one another either. There are many starving, many who are abused, teens who come home with red eyes and the smell of smoke on their clothes, children who are afraid of their parents because they hit them, people in Africa who can't even drink clan water, one of the most plentiful things in the world. How sad is that, that some can't even get a grasps on the most plentiful thing? There are people who have no future and a bad past. People sitting on the street dangling their tin cups about, asking for just change, and so many pass them by, they don't even care. And that's sad, that this is what we call society. We all are too busy tightening our ties and putting on watches, driving around and having fun to care about anyone else. What do those beggars on the street have to go home to? They don't have homes. They have nothing but you and the clothes on their back, and they're only counting on you. They've given up any hope of living a life. They're lives and futures aren't in their hands anymore. They depend only on you now. So many of us just ignore the bad things in the hopes that they will just go away with time. They won't. It only takes a few dimes, a comment like "I love you" or "you are special and you are cared about". That's all we need, just to set aside differences and come together as a whole.
Only then will out world be a good place.
Faith never matters all that matters is what we like and believe in
+OinkersMeow72 you could be Jewish and still believe in Jesus.
SpingtheKitty I am christian and I still help and do somethings different when I don't even know I did.I don't mind atheists its just that they have their own way so do jews muslims etc. thats why they just know God is still here and It does have a bigger pic. and Don't miss it try something different to make your own little world :)
Stormbackscar Jews believe in jesus
SpingtheKitty you may be a atheist and I am a Christian but I can assure you God is frowning more on me right now I don't have the right to call my self a Christian and I don't think I ever did
Will always be a Matthew West fan, He is awesome....He will never stop making great music.
yah he is an amazing artist
+Katie Wiford :) yes!
amen
guys, just because somebody dislikes a song, doesn't mean that they aren't Christian. it just means that they don't like this song. i don't like some Christian songs, but that doesn't mean that i'm not a Christian. disliking a song means nothing besides the fact that they just don't like the song
What you have written..."we cannot stop sinning without God"...is absolutely true. We cannot. "With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible."
So, by God's grace (that is, enabling power), we are made capable of turning from all WILLFUL (on purpose) sin,. And since we are made capable by the power of the Holy Spirit, we MUST turn from all willful sin, or we will be rejected on judgement day. "He who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of Life." Amen!
I lived in my own little world for 45 years of my life. I have finally realized not everything is about me or how I feel. Thank you for opening my world up.
Amen
I had to learn how not to belpng to myself but to belong to Jesus all the time by surrendering my will to Him
This song tells us: "Hey, wake up!!! Stop wasting your time and dont forget that you're a servant in the Kingdom of God"
That's absolutely right, we Christians are still sinnners, sinners saved by Grace called to do the Good works God had planned for us long ago
wow this actually made me cry. I really thought I figured out life but when I got to college I realized that I didn't know as much as I thought I did. I'm still trying to figure out what God is but I know that I've got to start my stepping out of my own little world
The answer is love
And not just love but justice as well. God bless.
I really like this song, because when people complain about something, they really don't realize how much other people are hurting. Matthew West really delivers the message of helping other people. He is so inspiring, He lets people know how there is wayyy more stuff that you can do than what you are doing. Our whole generation should listen to this song. Thank you Matthew West for helping so many people and myself get through tough situations. You are amazing! :)
This song makes you think. We always complain about the things that are wrong with OUR lives, but what about all those people living in ditches? What about them? What about those who don't inhabit our little world?
"Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back."- Yeshua
whenever i see this video i honestly think that the widow was portrayed as an angel here on Earth to help others, like that guy, learn to reach out to others, seeing how he came to the same corner stop at the end and she wasnt there yet her sign was in his passenger seat....which gets me thinking...wat if some of the people we see everyday are actually angels in disguise reaching out for us to get us to "help" so we can be lead to those with greater need?...and we pass them right by without a thought....
So true
True..sometimes it feels more comfortable and automatically lock the door when we feel we in an uncomfortable or danger and drive past..
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:2 KJV
I just found this song, this video, and your comment. How very powerful! Reminds me that faith with no deeds is no faith at all! Be mindful people, and help those you can! Much love for your comment so long ago. Your message is still spreading the word!
I feel so behind the times, like I have been living in a bubble. I only just discovered Matthew West and feel I have been truly missing out on some major blessings. He is such a gift from God!!! His music is awesome. To God be the glory.
(Btw I'm 63 and glad to see true christian rock along the lines of Keith Greene exists for this generation!!!)
Lately I been thinking 🤔 of making a commitment of rededicating my life Jesus, I'm tired of being empty and lonely of wondering what my future will be. This song gave me, the strength to keep pushing.
b real 🤙
Yea lets get to work we are the light of the world we gotta make our light shine bright so that Jesus will shine through us and others will come to feel Gods love and praise him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God will save me out of my own world. For faith is the most important thing between you and GOD!
Matthew West please upload an HD version so I can crank this on my HD TV with my family and praise GOD! Thank you brother for blessed praising music to out Father!!!
When you study God's word and really give God your all, that changes. He makes you feel loved and he changes the way you are. In the Bible God asks us to let go of what other people think of us; to stop trying to please others and to set our goals on pleasing Him. A church is just a building and though people can judge you, the one that matters is God. He is a perfect judge and He always forgives us our sins. We have to repent and ask for forgiveness but God always forgives us and loves us.
I just got on here to listen to check this song out again and saw that my last comment is ranked as the 2nd Highest Ranked Comment. So I wanna say thank you to everyone who clicked like on it and got it to that spot. Thanks you and everyone else who plans to vote it up.
my mom told me about this song and told me to really listen to the lyrics so i did and after listening to it about 2 times a switch went off in my heart and God helps me and i can be a servant for him and show his glory to others who are going through really hard times and need to know that he is there to help them! this song is one of my favorite!
Beautiful message ❤️
We are not called to help "only if they come to a Christian shelter" or "Only when we can know that they wont take that and use it to sin." You can't always know someone's heart and motivations, so you should always be a light during a dark time. If you have the opportunity share the gospel, most definitely do! But sometimes just showing love is enough to make a difference for someone, and enough to make them think, "What's different about you? I want it." And there's your opportunity to share
WHEN you are chrisitan is NEVER ABOUT YOU, BUT JESUS AND ANOTHER PEOPLE :)
I'm deeply atheistic, and I say that here just to lend emphasis to the fact that I think that this song's message is very powerful and positive and that it's the sort of thing that could make a small but real and beneficial difference to the world, and that (less importantly but still importantly) Matthew West is a very talented musician. I don't even slightly share West's faith, but I can agree from a secular standpoint that this song has a very good message and also that it's good musically.
Amen my brother in Nothingness! (lol)
I'm also an Atheist, but some Christian songs are so damn nice, I just can't help but listen to them. This song doesn't even sound that Christian, but it conveys a powerful message indeed.
sergyu123456 I'm pleased and surprised that so soon after I posted that comment someone of such a like mind stumbled across it.
I find that many Christian songs are well written and can be enjoyed from a secular perspective. Mind you, I said 'many', not 'all'; see "I'm No Kin to the Monkey" for a simultaneously hilarious and aggravating example of why I carefully avoided the word 'all'.
Michael Aird I suppose, God has put us two together. Kidding. It is obvious that not ALL songs (regardless of genre) are well written. I really like Matthew West. I used to hate Christian songs, but now I don't mind them at all. As long as it sounds good to me, I'm fine with it. If it even conveys a message that I am in agreement with, even better.
Duck King Well, that was indeed supposed to be a "religious joke". Even if I liked it in a church, and maybe I would, if I found the right people, it would still not be able to change my mind. I know that. Maybe if Jesus came on Earth, something would change, but he'd still have a lot of explaining to do.
Michael Aird
I'm glad you've listened to some Christian music. I can't stand it when people assume that all Christian songs are just slow and annoying hymns. I'll be honest, I'm a very religious person that goes to church 4-5 times a week, but I strongly dislike hymns. Thank you, for not following stereotypes. -Daph
Thank you for this song. "It's not just about you, everyone's going through." Talking to myself too. This song really speaks to me.
This song is a Bop, im atheist and I jammed to this 1
There is so many people in our lives, that need to see God's love and grace. I think if each of showed God's love by praying more for other people and encouraging others. Father, break my heart for what breaks Yours
Give me open hands and open doors
Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me...
I admit I live in my own little world. I take for granted all the things around me. I just live for myself. Yes, I love Christ but right now I'm in a place where I feel restricted to just study in school. I have no room to move or do the things that I want to do. I pray that I can see the world the way God does.
Scott i'm praying for you too cause it's the only thing i can do for you but my prayers aee with you
micheline Nawezi Thanks!
Love God than yourself. Live for Him :) I'll pray for you :)
Thank you!
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I've never gone hungry or always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
In my own little world
Population me
I try to stay awake 'til the Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts
And I turn off the news when I don't like what I see
Yeah it's easy to do when it's
Population me
What if there's a bigger picture
What if I'm missing out
What if there's a greater purpose
I could be living right now
Outside my own little world
Stopped at a red light, looked out my window
I saw a carboard sign, said 'Help this homeless widow'
Just above this sign was the face of a human
I thought to myself, 'God, what have I been doing?'
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
Oh how many times have I just passed her by
I gave her some money then I drove on through
In my own little world there's
Population two
What if there's a bigger picture
What if I'm missing out
What if there's a greater purpose
I could be living right now
Outside my own little world
Ooh, my own little world
Ooh
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, yeah
I'm going to break my heart for what breaks Yours
Give me open hands and open doors
Put Your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me
What if there's a bigger picture
What if I'm missing out
What if there's a greater purpose
That I could be living right now
I don't wanna miss what matters
I wanna be reaching out
Show me the greater purpose
So I can start living right now
Outside my own little world, ooh
My own little world, yeah
My own little world, ooh
This song is so true. As Christians, we are the body of Christ. So easy to focus on our selves. We all have to pray God will order our step.🙏❤
"The one who says 'I know him', but doesn't do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him' - John
It says there has to be a moderation between your own little world and religion's "greater purpose". You can only affect the world so much, so you have to look after your own life and enjoy the simple pleasures that come from helping others.
Basically, religious people don't go off the deep end lol.
i am a Filipino christian and im so much blessed with the life of matthew west. God bless him...
This song sums up my life. I live in my own little world, trying to look for the bigger picture. Thumbs up if you agree!!!
Love isn't about physical intamacy, it's about caring for everyone like they are a human chosen by God. because we forget that that's what everyone is. Every single human being on this earth was carefully molded by God. Everyone has a purpose. Even the people we dislike. Convicts, the mentally handycapped, janitors, that creepy old man across the street who glares at people through his windows, they are all created by God and loved by him. So don't lose a single opportunity to show God's love :)
I love The Lord. He's is amazing. But It is hard to get out of my own little world. I try hard to get out of my own world, but once I am out of it I fell like a can do anything.
+Steven Guo just remeber God is always with you
It's even more harder for me since I have Aspergers. I am however working hard on it.
Powerranger6342 I can relate I too have Aspergers and life is definitely a struggle..
Beautiful!
Let everyone into your world because that's what Jesus did. He willingly took us in because he loved us. We should do the same....
Hey Carlos I know how you feel man I understand you and I will not judge you my brother. I been at my lowest and weakest point and I cursed Gods name for it, but in reality it was him who kept on picking me up and giving me that extra push to continue living. I use to be suicidal but I was saved. When you're down and feel defeated read the Bible and pray and listen to gospel music, IT HELPS!!!! Surround yourself with POSITIVE PEOPLE, ones that will love you and tell you God loves you. God Bless
I was in my own little world when I was about 9. I had my whole life ahead of me. Then i met Quinn. She had a skin disease that caused blisters to form on her skin. (Which is extremely painful). Now i am 13 and i want to make a difference. That is how god changes you. I still have my life to go and i want to do something my own little world has 100 little children with EB and other people too. That is life changing. If not for Quinn would still be in my own little world.
I’ve had this song on repeat for the last couple hours. I’ve never had a song hit as deep as this one has made me feel. The message behind it and the lyrics bring me many emotions and really push me to become a better person.
The story the music video shows would make a good movie.
You may have lost touch with your faith but I promise you God is there for you when you are ready to come home! God is the one constant in this universe. His unwavering love for YOU has never changed, will never change, and is PROMISED YOU. "For so long as you shall have a breath," you have time! Praying for you to come home.
Thank you for this song. I listened to it and I felt that God was telling me something.
Hello UA-cam and Google plus God Bless you all And Pray that he will keep you safe :)
Carlos, God will never lose faith on you. he will never stop loving you. Carlos, I'm a 12 year old girl who is praying for you with faith, trust me, it's my middle name
This song has helped me through my Good, Bad days Highest highs lowest lows He's nevered lost a battle He's More Than Able Faithful
In my own Little world He's there for me
hmmm i heard this at youth group, i must say the church today, doesn't do enough we just sit around in our churches, behind those 4 walls sing, listen to a message, go home and that it. We have enough money to protest things that don't matter on the long run, but we don't listen to christ, and help those who are in need read Matthew 25... I'm not prefect myself but i'm still young i can't really do much yet
Naruto Uzumaki
I'm not perfect and have much to learn and do but age is no excuse, as harsh as children can be they are one of the greatest examples of how humanity and society cant be that bad. When a 5 year old offers a toy to someone who doesn't have one or comforts the crying baby they didn't do much but they made a world of difference. That being said you may be young but you can still change the world.
Remember the words of Paul to Timothy:
Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
***** k no he didn't he said it won't pass away till it's fulfilled and he did so so the law is over turned. The only thing that still applies is death pelenity for murders
***** Go sit in the corner and wait it out .
GOD NOT DEAD, you are,. its sad,. REACH OUT HE WILL REACH IN.
If not the dark cold corner is still there.
***** >>Regardless, there is just as much verifiable evidence for the tooth fairy as there is for any god. So people need to keep their delusion to themselves. It's only needed for the weak and ignorant to get by. Not everyone. And I've muted this post. So don't be surprised if you don't hear from me again. It's only by chance that I'm here again. And fuck Christians, they didn't seem to have much of a problem during the Inquisition. Convert or die. So if you didn't believe in Christianity, were of another faith or didn't believe in bullshit period? You were fucked
This song and video is an good reminder to help those all around us.
I was listening to this song on the radio drive to my private university, a place where it is very easy to live in "My Own Little World" and while I'm driving I see a guy going through the trash searching for some food. I did not have a red light but I pulled over anyways gave him $20 so I went through that light and when I am about 20 yards from the next light which is green, somebody runs a red going the adjacent direction and could have possible T-boned me had I not pulled over. God is good.
When people say "Being A Christian Is A Religon." It Isn't It's a relasionship with Jesus.
man this song has really made a difference in my life. when i first heard it i did my first speaking in church after that i got more involved and now i will probably become a pastor. isn't amazing how one song from a good singer can change a life.
I love this song is has such a powerful meaning, it reallymakes me open up my eyes and see the world in a new way. god bless him he is an inspiration to us all
Powerful and Beautiful song Thank you Jesus Amen Matthew west
This song reminds us that sometimes we are stuck in our own little world and that we need help getting out of it so that we can reach out to others and help those in need.
i love this song soo much it is like where i have started in my life and im moving forwrd in caring for others not just for myself this is an inspirationual song!!!
hit the heart!!!!
i love how the symbolism in this video plays out... to me its like the widow is Jesus, and when the Man opened his heart to Jesus, he was being led to help all these other people, and his meant broke for each of them. His Song is my ultimate Favorite for meaning... it always makes me realize how Great God is!
It's about not being self-focused and just about "me, me, me" type thinking!
Amen
Today My Dog Died 5 Years Ago My Cousin Died Afrter I Herd The News I Turned On The Radio And This Song Played Thank You Matthew West!
I love reading these comments on how Christ and this song changed people's lives(:
I wish that I could see you in concert here around Lincoln AR
I love this one. One of my absolute favorites to lead with on worship on Sunday. Deep, true and a lot of fun to play.
this song will let people know that the world is not perfect. Even though it gives you good stuff, it's not as awesome as God's reward in heaven! GOD BLESS THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF HIS LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God lives in our lives, and there's so much we can do. These things we can do, most of us don't, I admit, but, it's nothing compared to our Lord Jesus Christ on what he did for us. God rocks!
Wow this song really speaks to me...
Does anyone know who the guy in the video is?
He is Matthew west
i know right but we NEED to be lights to Jesus so we all can spend eternity with him. cant wait till he comes for me and the rest but till then im going to be a light to him
i am a western buddhist, but i still find this song extremely inspirational
WORD.
sadly many christians are caught in their own little world, not thinking about the people around them. We see the hurt in the world, but only tend to our own hurt when we could be giving to those who have much less than we do. So, the next time you are tempted to complain, stop and think, "what about those who are hurting more than I am."
i dislike when people say the number of dislikes and say they need god when really we all need god and thats just shows how judgemental we all are
she showed him that there are more people in this world than just him
This is a great song. Let it sink in, and ask God to show you where He wants you to lend a hand. Ask Him daily, and be quiet, and listen for him to speak to you. The answer might not come as a thunderbolt (though it may); you may have to be patient for His response. But seek Him, and He will let you know.
I will be jammin' out at Winter Jams on the 16th of Feb. and I can't wait! Matthew West is a great artist, there are several of his songs that speak to me. I've only been listening to Christian Music since October and just got saved in Jan. 13, 2013! Greatest day of my life! I thought giving up my old music would be hard, but not when you have great music like this to take the place of what I used to think was great music! Thank you God for your Son, Jesus Christ my savior and yours!
help us Lord to not shrink our world to the size of our problems
The courage to really get out your own little world, the courage to really help is something to be truly admired and appreciate. Pray for such courage and it will come.
I'm an atheist, but I can appreciate the point of this song.
this song is a great reminder that we have to try to live like Jesus and reach out to those in need
Defeating your ego is one of the biggest battles for the Christian for real. Killing sin can mean taking a hard look in the mirror.
Thank the lord for blessing Matthew West is the first thing that I have to say, and Thank God for making life clear to me and helping me realize that although things may be tough he is always here and I can never fall because he will always catch me with his hands. I am a child of God and I'm proud of it!!!! The devil has no grip on me, only God, my savior, my best friend, my everything, my life
Several days ago I had this song/video on repeat for a good half hour to an hour. Then, the following morning the song came on the radio. As always, I gasped in excitement and praised God that the song came on because I wanted to listen to it. Later that day I stopped at a red light and looked to my left, seeing a woman with a cardboard sign. My mind was blown.
God thank you for another day on planet earth. Thank you for everything you've given me and everything you've taken away from me. I know you have big plans for me and I know I fade away from you and try to do everything on my own but I always end up running back into your arms. In your name I pray amen.
what if there's a bigger picture
what if there's a greater purpose
I can be living right now
outside my own little word-
I FEEL LIKE DOING THINGS
this song is true. we all need to stop living in our own little worlds and start thinking about the world around us. you never know who might need our help.
Reaching out has always been the remedy to personal struggles. They never seem quite as big when I see through differing eyes.❤
