"I’m Not Who I Was" Music Video and Lyrics by Brandon Heath
You can now see a new music video of Brandon Heath’s song “I’m Not Who I Was” song at HearItFirst.
I absolutely love this song because of the lyrics below:
“I’m Not Who I Was” by 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 wasI found my way around
To forgiving you
Some time ago
But I never got to tell you soI 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 wasWhen the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming youI 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 wasI was thinking maybe I
I should let you know
I am not the same
But I never did forget your name
HelloWell the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that’s what love is all aboutI wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I’m not who I was
The original video is like a slideshow of a bunch of his friends holding a sign with a phrase describing themselves prior and how they’ve changed now.
What’s your favorite line from the song? What makes you like it? Do you have someone in your life that you need to forgive and let them know that you’re not who you were anymore?
Catch the original version of the video after the jump.

I’ve heard this song before when I’ve listened to WMHK (Columbia, SC) but I don’t think I ever really listened, although my heart was telling me to. Today (2/6/08) I watched Brandon’s video and I LISTENED to the words as I watched Brandon and his friends share their trials and triumphs.
I feel this tremendous HOPE now that maybe I too can heal and move forward in my life, fully embracing God and All His Glory and Blessings! That maybe I AM worthy of His Love.
Thank You Brandon for sharing your Faith and experiences. And Thank You to Brandon’s friends for also sharing.
God’s Peace Be With Us All,
Wendy

I heard this song yesterday on the radio and it really touched me. I have been through a lot of things with my Dad when I was growing up, and I know I need to forgive him for those things but it is really hard. This song has really given me the strength to want to let him know that even though what he did wasn’t ok, it’s in the past and I forgive him. God has blessed me with 3 beautiful children and a husband who loves me for me. I dont need to keep carrying this pain around with me any more. I can move on and be happy in everything that God has givin me. Thank you so very much Brandon for sharing this song with all of us who hurt too. Thank you. May God continue to pour blessings down upon you.

[…] Many of you may have already seen this video called “Cardboard Testimonies”. It reminds me a lot of Brandon Heath’s video for “I’m Not Who I Was”. […]
