Not Who I Was/Not Who I Am | Christian Rock

*NOT WHO I WAS / NOT WHO I AM* 🔥 *God isn't finished with me yet.* The struggle is real. The past still whispers. Old habits, old wounds, and old ways of thinking don't always disappear the moment we surrender our lives to Jesus. But grace meets us in the middle. Not Who I Was / Not Who I Am is a Christian hard rock song about the ongoing journey of transformation — the tension between the person we used to be and the person God is shaping us to become. We're not where we once were. We're not yet where we're going to be. But through the mercy of Jesus Christ, we keep moving forward. **“I'm not who I was— But I'm not who I am yet.”** This isn't a song about pretending we've got it all figured out. It's about getting back up when we fall, trusting God's work in us, and refusing to believe that our past gets to define our future. The cross has broken the power of sin. His grace gives us hope. And the God who began a good work in us is not finished yet. *“You're pulling me closer with a nail-scarred hand.”* We are works in progress, being transformed day by day to become more like Jesus. The journey isn't always easy, and the battle isn't always quiet — but we don't have to fight it alone. *I'm not who I was. And by His grace, I'm becoming who He's called me to be.* If this song speaks to you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that a difficult season, a past mistake, or an ongoing struggle doesn't have to be the end of their story. Thank you for listening and supporting independent Christian music. My prayer is that these songs encourage you, strengthen your faith, and point you toward Jesus. 🙏 “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 1:6 #NotWhoIWas #ChristianRock #ChristianMusic #JesusChrist #GraceOfGod #ChristianHardRock #Faith #SpiritualGrowth #Transformation #christianencouragement Lyrics (Verse 1) I walk the line between the shadows and the flame, The man I used to be still whispering my name. I feel the pull of every failure, every scar, Like gravity that’s trying to drag me where You are not. I raise my hands at the altar, promise I’ll stand, But I break like a wave when I step on the sand. The war inside is louder when the world goes quiet— But Your voice keeps calling me out of the riot. (Pre-Chorus) I’m torn between the chains and the freedom in Your hands, Every day I’m learning how to rise again. (Chorus) I’m not who I was— But I’m not who I am yet. Caught in the middle of a promise and a silhouette. You’re breaking the lies, You’re making me stand— In the mercy between Who I was and who I am (Verse 2) Some days I’m running strong, I’m sure of who You made, Then one small spark ignites the things I thought had changed. I feel the war beneath my heartbeat, muscle, bone— The old life begging me to claim it as my own. But You remind me who I’m becoming when I fall, You pull me from the wreckage of the lies I still recall. You never leave me in the places where I break— You’re building something holy out of every ache (Pre-Chorus) I’m torn between the chains and the freedom in Your hands, Every day I’m learning how to rise again. (Chorus) I’m not who I was— But I’m not who I am yet. Caught in the middle of a promise and a silhouette. You’re breaking the lies, You’re making me stand— In the mercy between Who I was and who I am (Bridge) I won’t go back to who I used to be, The cross has cut the ties that kept a hold on me. You’re burning through the darkness, You’re rewriting all I’ve been— ‘Til the only thing that’s left Looks like You again I’m moving forward — I won’t be the same! Your fire is the forge of the man You’re gonna make! (Final Chorus) I’m not who I was— And I’m becoming who You’ve planned. You’re pulling me closer with a nail-scarred hand. You’re breaking the lies, You’re helping me stand— In the mercy between Who I was and who I am. I’m not who I was— But You’re not finished yet. Grace is the promise I’ll never forget I'm not who I was Not who I was (Not who I was) Not who I am.........YET!!!!
