I'm Not Who I Was

I love this song. Actually, I love just about anything by Brandon Heath. But the Lord has really been showing me lately that I'm not who I was. I'm not who I was a year ago, a week ago or even just a day ago. And I praise Him for that! Thank you, Jesus for continuing your work on this difficult lump of clay.

There are some very specific people (mainly men I used to date!) that I wish I could sit down with and share what the Lord has been doing in my life - to share that, thanks to Him, I'm not who I was when you were in my life six months ago or two years ago.

There's a song we used to sing growing up in church called "Pass It On." Anyone remember it? Super cheesy, but we loved it even more because it was so cheesy! There was a line in that song that I just remembered that says "I'll shout it from the mountain top - PRAISE GOD! I want the world to know...."

That's how I feel about the fact that He is doing such a HUGE work in me. I want to shout it from the mountain top - PRAISE GOD!!!
I want the world to know.....that I'm not who I was.

I'm Not Who I Was - Brandon Heath
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
