Brandon Heath’s major-label debut single, Our God Reigns, was an anthemic worship anthem that set radio airwaves on fire. How could one possibly follow up such a majestic song? For Brandon Heath, the trick was to go naked and heartfelt. With I’m Not Who I Was, Brandon paints a stark palette of honesty in this song of confessional redemption. Such bare emotion is rare and welcome in this day and age, and I’m Not Who I Was may well usher in a new era of storytelling from the soul.

“The thing I find most amazing in amazing grace is the chance to give it out.” Brilliant.

I’M NOT WHO I WAS Lyrics
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
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
