I’m Not Who I Was

I was listening to the radio,K-Love, this morning as the family was getting ready for Worship. One of the songs which played is a newer one and is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It is called I’m not Who I Was by Brandon Heath. This song encapsulates what happens to us when Christ takes over our lives, we are no longer who we once were but are being conformed to the beautiful image of Christ!

Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

Here are the words to the song…..

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
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 Praise God every day that I am not who I once was! Hope you have a blessed Lord’s Day today!
