I haven't listened to this song in nearly a year, but recently I've had it playing in my head, and I must say, it's probably one of my favorite songs ever, and so perfectly describing my current mood/situation.
There are artists that just keep on surprising me. It's incredible how I still find some gems by Marcus Mumford or Justin Vernon after binge listening to them for more than a year now.
i'm not really much of a religious guy. but i swear, this guy makes religious music extremely enjoyable. better than any cliche christian rock song or crap like that. this is truly the work of a genius
The things I don't want to do I just keep doing The things I want to do I can't do What a wretched man I am becoming What a wretched man I have become Who will save me? From this body of death that is looming From this funeral parlor I keep on seeing In the corner of my eye while pointing my gun In the corner of my mind while ignoring the sun It's coming for me, it's coming for me What you ask just cannot be done A spineless heart is what I've become This weight on my back is just too heavy The holy life just wasn't for me I keep smearing my heart all over my sleeve Someone comes and wipes it off and takes it from me What's left is hardly mine, but just a shadow of myself For I find I'm entwined in a battle over my health And I can't win, and I can't win What you ask just cannot be done A spineless heart is what I've become This weight on my back was just too heavy The holy life just wasn't for me The holy life just wasn't for me But what you asked just cannot be done A spineless heart was what I've become This weight on my back was just too heavy You say a holy life still waits for me You say a holy life still waits for me
I just read this in Romans like yesterday. And the beautiful thing is that there’s still forgiveness in the Messiah Jesus. Paul murdered Christians before being arguably the greatest apostle.
im sick of religious nuts keep commenting on every fucking video on you tube. just fuck off and stop pushing your religious shit on us, its a music video you moron
@@jamesspencer3233 I wonder why some people cant just keep their damn mouths shut. you can literally mind your own business you didnt even have to acknowledge that comment. The only reason im acknowledging yours is because is i dont tell you, no one will. grow up. and have fun being a dickhead, bitch ass.
omg, what a great song. love these guys so much. I love all the bible refrences! Proof that a band can rock but still rock with Jesus... man, i really hope they don't change
Fret no more, fret no more Love often leaves our hearts so sore We want what hurts us, that is true but you must be brave an see this through Your heart is a gift, so give it wise For love often comes in strange disguise So carry not a heavy heart So you may be happy from the start
Romans 7:19, 24-- For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do... O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
He may be English by blood, choice and memory, and and English citizen too, but by law and nationality he's American. (Not a jealous American by the way, I live in North-East England).

I officially decided today that Mumford & Sons are one of my favorite bands, so I've been listening to them nonstop for about 4 hours.
Same Here, Friend!!
I'M FINDING ALL OF THESE SONGS I HAVENT HEARD BEFORE I AM SO HAPPY
Marcus is too perfect for everything.
this song is one of the first things that has shown me what it's like to cry from joy. I thank God for musicians like Marcus

So how are u today
my heart now beats to the rhythm of this song - only marcus mumford could make that happen ... :)
still listenning to this, never get bored
at first i thought this was a cover of some song....but its not! THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY! and then i found out it was A BIBLE VERSE! JUST PERFECTION
I would seriously give anything in the world to have the honor of listening to Mumford&Sons Live seriously I would give anything.
I can't tell if its because this song is amazing or just because I have a giant man-crush on Marcus Mumford, but I can't stop listening to this.

The things I don't want to do
I just keep doing
The things I want to do
I can't do
What a wretched man I am becoming
What a wretched man I have become
Who will save me?
From this body of death that is looming
From this funeral parlor I keep on seeing
In the corner of my eye while pointing my gun
In the corner of my mind while ignoring the sun
It's coming for me, it's coming for me
What you ask just cannot be done
A spineless heart is what I've become
This weight on my back is just too heavy
The holy life just wasn't for me
I keep smearing my heart all over my sleeve
Someone comes and wipes it off and takes it from me
What's left is hardly mine, but just a shadow of myself
For I find I'm entwined in a battle over my health
And I can't win, and I can't win
What you ask just cannot be done
A spineless heart is what I've become
This weight on my back was just too heavy
The holy life just wasn't for me
The holy life just wasn't for me
But what you asked just cannot be done
A spineless heart was what I've become
This weight on my back was just too heavy
You say a holy life still waits for me
You say a holy life still waits for me
Thanks a lot!!!

Whatever it took to get their music to me, I'm okay with it.
It just gives me the chills when the "mmmmmmmmh" starts in the second verse.
I need Mumford & Sons to come to South Africa!
I absolutely love this song
Marcus Mumford you beautiful man!

I hear this song, and I instantly think of me. It was wrote for me.. I just hope I can beat the odds in fear that my drinking will soon consume me.

Just spectacular!!
Mumford and Sons make me not sad anymore :)

You can't beat it, but God can -- if you let Him
I love you Marcus!
I jumped a fence to hug this man
Though now my chest has a hole
BEST DECISION EVER
Fret no more, fret no more
Love often leaves our hearts so sore
We want what hurts us, that is true
but you must be brave an see this through
Your heart is a gift, so give it wise
For love often comes in strange disguise
So carry not a heavy heart
So you may be happy from the start

He said that he didn't exist for him. He wasn't saying for everybody. Just himself.
