I grew up Christian and drank the koolaid too. When I lost my faith in God it was straight up like a heartbreak, knowing I was totally alone in this world and no one was gonna save me. I felt betrayed and angry that I was lied to for so long, thinking there was some plan for me and all the horrific shit in life was gonna pan out. Nope. It was emotional hell but I eventually came to the conclusion there’s no god coming to save me. It sucked, but after a few years i feel happy again. I’m still working through life’s obstacles but it’s nice being able to rely on myself instead of just being told that something is going to get me through it all. It sucks it took me 18 years to figure this out, wasting my time with misplaced faith, but at least that part of my life is over and this new chapter is beginning.
This song is probably the only song I’ve listened to that has made me cry. I went through the same thing the song describes, and it does a perfect job of capturing all the emotions I’ve felt over the years.
This song, Truce (twenty one pilots), MISTAKE (NF), One More Light (Linkin Park), and How To Save A Life (The Fray) have been the only songs to ever make me cry. I'm an emotional person and music is a lifeline for me, but very few songs can actually hit me like that. This song specifically perfectly describes everything I'm feeling. I've been going through a really dark time in my life, and God hasn't exactly been with me through it. At all. It's rare to see a song you connect with on such a deep, emotional level, but this is one of those songs.
I love that LeGrand is willing to tell his story. As a Christian who understands this issue of feeling like God wasn’t there, I get it. It’s like the floor drops right out from underneath you and yet you’re being crushed at the same time. This kind of stuff truly touches my heart and I hurt for people like LeGrand partly because I know that pain too, but I also know it’s not the end. My hope is that LeGrand learns how to recover from this and can see at least some sort of light in his story, because I believe that there is. The fact alone that he’s willing to share this with people means there’s a point worth expressing, and you can see that in how many people have related already to his song, but Christian and non-Christian. LeGrand did good, and I have hope that he sees the story being built off of this one small story.
Oh my goodness. I'm a Christian with a mental health battle of over 10 years, and this song was so relatable. So many times I've fought through wind and waves inside my mind, and the monsters haven’t ever truly gone away. Just last weekend I was crying out to God, "Where are you? I can't see you." For anyone else in this place, I understand your pain. But I promise you, God never left you. It may be hard to see it, but God is working in your life. This world is dark and broken, and we get hurt in the process. What you've feeling is legitimate and real. But no matter what this world looks like, or how you feel, God is still good, He still loves you, and He still wants a relationship with you. I'm in this battle with you, and if I've learned anything, its that the Master of the winds and the waves sees us, and loves us, and grieves with us. I hope you find peace and blessings today my friend ❤
Hear ye, hear ye, the wise woman speaks truth. No, but foreal you literally blew that out of the park. I’ve been trying to figure what to comment as someone who is also still a Christian, but having not been through such a rough time as you two I didn’t know how to put it without sounding hypocritical. So thank you.
Dude, I added this song to my playlist so I can remember to hear it, and it just... it was so perfect. Reading the lyrics as they went by, this song describes how I feel. Thank you, LeGrand. Another great song.
Today, I was scrolling through Spotify, looking for something new to add to my playlist when I found this song. I don't know why, but it spoke to me. It helped me remember I'm not alone and it's okay to be vulnerable sometimes. I'm sorry you went through tough times, but please know you aren't alone either. Know that your music is a lifeline to some people. It's artists like you that have been keeping me alive. Thank you. ❤
Sometimes through our mental health struggles, we forget God really can help. Turning to Him and following Him more, does more than just praying to Him when you feel down. You have to seek Him always, then you'll see the difference. I learned that too with my PTSD. It's hard and it seems like you won't be healed sometimes, but you will. It takes time. You will heal, as long as you make the effort and put your faith in God the Father AMEN!!!🙏🏼❤️👑
😢 I feel those words. I was raised in a mostly Catholic family, taken to mass every week. Fed the guilt. Experienced the trauma. I used to write poetry about it. Now I am a mental health nurse and have spoken to many others who have experienced similar trauma. This song hits hard. It's absolutely beautiful. I hear you. I see you. I'm here if you ever need to process anything. ❤
Was waiting for this one ever since you first teased it in shorts and it's as good as I expected. Lyrics, music, singing, everything. Simply magnificent work.
Absolutely love your songs. You've got such talent, keep on making music ❤ This song gave me inspiration for a beautiful and emotional scene for one of my novels. All songs I've listened to from you have gave me some kind of inspiration, one of my characters has even gotten a very similar voice to you :)
absolutely same, the beat and song opened up a better ending than I could ever dream up without it and as soon as I thought it I knew that had to be how the story ended
Hoping you find peace with yourself and God. I understand what you're going through and will be praying that you will figure out what you need to. God bless man, wish the best. Also, love the song.
@@JPmax4evergod never leaves the side of anyone, but ofc the people who don’t know who god is doesn’t know he’s by them all along. and then it feels like he hasn’t been there. I relate to this so much but i found god and god is real.
I just finally managed to get the chorus lyrics of a song I'm working on right and I'm feeling happy cuz of it, and this song for some reason is just the finishing touch of that feeling (despite the lyrics)
what a song. LeGrand always surprising!! this is so meaningfull to me man. i always had an lack of faith in everything that its abstract, and now i dont even know if i am really a christian. Thank you bro
Having to grow up with Christianity was hard. I struggled to believe the same things my parents did and still do. I lost faith in God entirely when I realized he doesn’t help people.
As a christian who will never break, It’s just sad seeing my favorite music artist lose in faith, and seeing people who relate to this as well. It’s ironic to say I will never break, but jesus has always been the connection that I will always have all throughout my life. To all of the people who are losing faith, or lost jesus. Jesus may be false hope or misplaced faith, but to me he is my best friend forever. Best friends can leave you, they can abandon you, betray you, but Jesus is my best friend that I can always go to. It isn’t just a religion but also a relationship with god. This is how I will never break, I study everyday about jesus, or try to, and that’s that. Jesus helped me through depressing times and things. It may seem like jesus ain’t with you or left you, and i felt this feeling many times. The book of acts is about faith, I recommend to any people to try and read it as a final to depart from god. Jesus is always in your loved ones and in people around you, he loves you and that’s why he gives free will. He wants you to feel at peace and good and loved. He doesn’t want you to hurt. If anyone has questions, I’m here to answer, but take this as a sign. A sign to at least give god a chance. God gives you many signs each day, could be really big or small things. I may count as a small thing, It’s not easy to restore faith. I just hope people will study more and learn more about jesus before just ghosting god. To legrand, I wish you the best, I love your songs, and I have faith that god will always try and be in your side, even if you try and push him away.
Amen brother in Christ . . . Amen. This is how I actually how I got over my fear of the dark, same age, same fear that something would kill me. God got me through the struggle. I'm no longer afraid to sleep in the dark, and now I like horror games that have no effect on me.
LeGrand, I pray for you and others. With all my heart, mind, and strength I strive to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I undertand the empty and longing struggle to be better. To get better. To overcome the monster of not only the natural man but external forces alike. Being a believer of God is harder when it feels like he left you. Just know he hasn't. He is carrying you. When life is too much to stand, kneel. Thank you for the honest ans amazing music you provide. Your my favorite ♥️
This is such a beautiful song. I'm Christian and have had moments when I feel as though God is not helping. It's a terrifying feeling which is what makes this song really good. LeGrand is truly and amazing artist. I will say however that God is there for us. He is always by our sides. Don't Doubt his love because there's a difficult time in your life. In case you forgot Christ went through an even more difficult time, and there was a moment when god "abandoned" Christ himself. Christ calls out "Oh God, why have you forsaken me?" God has to leave us at times. but he never leaves completely, and he never leaves for very long (unless we push him away). Everything in our lives is designed to teach us and allow us to grow. Just like a father teaching his son to ride the bicycle. The father has to let go of the bike so his son can learn to ride, but a good father is close behind ready to catch them when they fall. God is our Good heavenly father. He loves us. He loves you, and he wants the best for you. God will not abandon us. Really good song. LeGrand is so dadgum talented!!!!!
I'm Religious, but this song hits hard. And it's true, some people leave there faith because of there mental health. I struggle and still struggle with it. For me God will one day save me. It's a faith thing. But Legrand your song hits so hard. I'm Religious but love this song
Since this is a lyrics video, can you move the "recommended videos" up above the lyrics so we can read the last piece? Also, I love that you stepped out of the comfort zone of the saxophone interludes for this - this is such a pure song. It's also one that hits how I felt at that age. I will say that my life has gotten better and better as I have left that misplaced faith behind, but letting it go was a difficult experience.
I love this song so much, such raw emotion. Ill be praying for you as you continue on your journey of life. Praying that you'll see He's been here all along. God bless man and keep up the amazing music! 🙏
wow. let me be the first to say that this perfectly captures the last few years of my life. i don't think your issue here is misplaced faith. i think what happened was you adopted your parents' faith but didn't actually believe in God on your own. i went through the same thing. it took ages of stagnancy and slowly slipping away for me to finally get to the point where i realized i was without belief. and it took a whole year of seeking Him--all the while mostly doubting His very existence--to finally realize that He is real. i say this to say that i feel your pain. a lot of people go through hurt and wonder why God didn't save them. but you can't blame God for everything. we live in a terrible world with terrible people who do terrible things. these choices have physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences. but I'm no better. God looks at me through the lens of Jesus and that is how my sins are justified in His eyes. He is righteous. He has to punish people for what they do wrong or He wouldn't be just. I hope this helps you. i know how painful it was to go through this myself and I'll be praying that God shows you himself.
I honestly don't think that lyrics praise religious faith. But maybe it's just my interpretation giving too much importance to the final part of the song. You see he's songs often talk about the loss of his mother and his mental health issues, and in the first half of the song he talks about how he was very devoted... So when on the second half I hear things like: "Because when I needed God the most he left me out for dead, he left my side... ...I was swallowed by the monsters and you disappeared, *you don't deserve your place* " "But if he's real then one day I'll get to meet him and I know just what I'll say: ``throw me in the waves``... ... *And I'd rather drown and die than have to spend all of my life with misplaced faith* " I interpreted it as his faith for god was misplaced, because he thought he would have saved him from all the monsters, but when he was then really swallowed by one of those monsters (the loss of his mother or most likely his mental health issues since he mentioned it in the song) he didn't save him... Therefore he doesn't deserve his place and he's faith for him, was misplaced. But that's just my interpretation, maybe I'm wrong 💁
@@emanuelescarsella3124 Yeah his song seems to talk about him giving up on God. I gave up on him for a while too and went through a ton of stuff including depression, suicidal thoughts, etc, and thats kinda why this song resonates with me. I pray he finds happiness and peace, with or without God in his life.
@@em.4800 yeah I know that, I was just commenting that it hit me in the feels. As someone who struggled with finding and trusting God, I understand and relate to the song. Chill.
@@em.4800God will not let you go through more than you can handle the devil does God is always with you every step of the way holding out his hand waiting for you to grab it so that he can help you, in the Bible it says that God will not interfere with the will of man but instead use it to help you out in the long run God leaves it up to you for whether you will accept him or not it is your choice and there are good and bad Christians same for any other religion And if "god" makes you afraid of living then that is not God that is the devil ,the Bible says God does not give you the power of fear but he gives you the power of love and happiness. And pleas keep in mind that God never promest that you would not have to go through any hardships if you believe in him he actually said the complete opposite but what he did promise was that you would never be alone while facing them and that he would always be there by your side even if you feel like he's not and i can garentee to you that god will not answer all of you prayers the way you want him to or as fast as you want him to, he knows what is the best for you even if you dont feel like he does some times. May God bless you in life and help live a good happy life. I hope you have a wonderful day😊
As a fairly religious man myself, I can't tell you how hard this hits, it honestly kind of hurts to listen to. All your life, you're told to just have faith and it'll turn out in the end, but for me at least, there's always this feeling of "what if that's not enough?" The last thing I want is to use it as a crutch or an excuse to be lazy. It's unfortunate that you had to struggle with your mental health, and your beliefs, at that, no one deserves that, so I'm glad you're doing better now, at least I hope that's the case.
Tbh faith isn't gonna be enough in most cases, because faith doesn't fix everything, you need, basically a rebellious spirit, you need to be a trickster to an extent, embody the fool yk. Cuz you need to be able to do things for yourself, and not be completely reliant on someone else, and you need the courage to be able to stand against that someone if you get there and they actually turn out to not be who they say they are, cuz the problem with faith is, there's always that chance that it's misplaced, there's always that chance that God is just a liar, and if he is, we need to stand up to him. Even if it seems impossible. After all that's the point of being a fool, cuz he may have a divine plan, but it's still ultimately a plan, and no plan is foolproof.
I agree that you need to do things yourself. After all, faith without works is dead. If you just have faith and leave it at that, it doesnt really mean anything. So, on the contrary, try studying the Bible a bit, and give Christianity effort instead of just sitting there and hoping God will save you. After all, if you want something in life, you have to ask for it or work for it. Christianity is no different.
I understand what it's like to go through a trial. You feel alone and don't understand. Well, I can promise you, and you don't have to listen, that it will get better. Stay strong my brother and think about this and pray. I'm always here to talk as well. ❤️
Look, believing in jesus ain’t that easy as you thought. Satan brings you down and swallows you up, and you will lose faith. Just remember Jesus will always knock on the door, and wait there for you to answer and for him to come into your heart into your side and stay with you. When times where the monster has swallowed you up, and you think jesus isn’t by your side, remember that he is always in your side. Jesus is a mysterious god and He works in mysterious ways. If things didn’t go your way, the monster would swallow you up and you may lose faith and think you have misplaced faith, in times of sadness and grief. Turn to god for god can help you. Turn to his word and he’ll speak to you, Turn to your parents if you still have them, or your loved ones or anyone, even me. Faith is so hard to hold onto, but always try and read the bible, and listen to jesus. Book of acts is about faith, idk if you are a frequent bible reader or anything but I wish you the best.
Never did the christian faith tell us that the journey would be easy or that God would protect us from the world. It is our faith, despite the doubts and low points in our life that keeps us going. God loves you. I hope you can find him again and I'm praying for you.
This will probably place me in the minority (which I have been in in every aspect of my life), but I am Christian. Seeing so many people like this who have probably been in misguided churches who are only in it for the money or haven't really studied scripture, or who have been in abusive relationships that use religion to condemn you makes me very sad. I feel your pain. Believe me. I've been in these situations and people who do that have no idea the damage they cause. The Bible never says that trust in God will make life easy. If you think about it that would be unfair to those who don't know him. One's relationship with God will make them a bigger target in fact for the brokenness of this world. People do nothing but abuse God's give of free will and those who call themselves 'Christians' but don't show it and hurt others will be judged. It takes more than blind belief; it takes really, really searching for the truth from more than one perspective. On behalf of the Christian community, I am so sorry.
LeGrand, I really love this song. You did a great job, and I can tell that it really came from your life story. That considered , I wanted to reach out to you. I myself am a Christian, and I feel God is moving in me to put myself out there for you. I don't know exactly what happened or what you went through that you referred to in this song, but I can assure you that you weren't alone. It may have seemed as though God left you when you needed Him, but He was there all along. Whatever happened and however painful it may have been for you to go through, I know that it was a part of God's plan for your life. I don't know if or when you will see this message, but if God wants you to, I know it will reach you somehow someday. Whenever that is, I want you to know that I'm here if you want to talk about it. I'll be praying for you, and I hope God can find a way to move in your life. May God bless you, Owen Jensen
Religious trauma is a real a terrible problem, some years after will still wake with fears, if you or someone you know is experiencing this, I would recommend reaching out to “recovering from religion” they aren’t there to deconvert you but help you past any fears or traumas that you have. Seek help don’t let the waves pull you under.
This kinda explains one of the reasons I strayed away from religion and into agnosticism. I want to believe there is something, but the fact any god is willing to let all this bad happen to me and my family, or just anyone for that matter, make me feel conflicted. It's led me to believe that if there is a god, he's nothing but an observer. It pains me to think any divine being would allow or want any of this to happen in the world. If God has a plan, good to know it was to ruin my fucking life.
I know God Loves you. He is your Father in Heaven. He has a plan for you and every wrong in your life has been redeemed in Christ. Every wrong towards you will be righted in the end. We lived before this life and will continue after this life and will have an eternity ahead free from the atrocities of mortality. I promise you Christ Lives and we all will rise with Him when He comes again. In His name, Amen.
The way I view it is if he exists, based entirely on his actions in the Bible he's at the very least malicious. Dude committed genocide that one time. And he damns anyone who doesn't agree with him to hell, that's like some petty dictator shit.
I grew up Christian and drank the koolaid too. When I lost my faith in God it was straight up like a heartbreak, knowing I was totally alone in this world and no one was gonna save me.

@@davidhuapaya4450 That’s cool man! I’m happy for you.
Amen. God helped me get through the courts when I had lost my way. Led me back to him.
I'm not religious myself, and it's totally fine that you are, just respect other peoples views
"God abandoned me and is actually probably not real at all"
Christians: "Lol skill issue. Believe harder."
I wish more people could listen to ur songs
This is beautiful, and I'm sorry, and I'm so proud of you.
this song is so emotional!
Im so glad this is finally out on yt! Keep doing what you do legrand!
It’s been out for like a month on youtube
@@Heeraa_On_RUclips where?
one of my new favorite legrand songs
love your songs man keep up the brilliant work
This song reminds me of one of your other less known songs that I love. Specifically, Stephen's Father
I love you LeGrand never stop any of it.
I have no words to explain how I feel
LeGrand,
I pray for you and others. With all my heart, mind, and strength I strive to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I undertand the empty and longing struggle to be better. To get better. To overcome the monster of not only the natural man but external forces alike.
Being a believer of God is harder when it feels like he left you. Just know he hasn't. He is carrying you.
When life is too much to stand, kneel.
Thank you for the honest ans amazing music you provide. Your my favorite ♥️
If this was in a movie I’d be so happy
This is such a beautiful song.
I'm Christian and have had moments when I feel as though God is not helping. It's a terrifying feeling which is what makes this song really good. LeGrand is truly and amazing artist. I will say however that God is there for us. He is always by our sides. Don't Doubt his love because there's a difficult time in your life. In case you forgot Christ went through an even more difficult time, and there was a moment when god "abandoned" Christ himself. Christ calls out "Oh God, why have you forsaken me?" God has to leave us at times. but he never leaves completely, and he never leaves for very long (unless we push him away). Everything in our lives is designed to teach us and allow us to grow. Just like a father teaching his son to ride the bicycle. The father has to let go of the bike so his son can learn to ride, but a good father is close behind ready to catch them when they fall. God is our Good heavenly father. He loves us. He loves you, and he wants the best for you. God will not abandon us.
Really good song. LeGrand is so dadgum talented!!!!!
I'm Religious, but this song hits hard. And it's true, some people leave there faith because of there mental health. I struggle and still struggle with it. For me God will one day save me. It's a faith thing. But Legrand your song hits so hard. I'm Religious but love this song
Bro, the high notes on “I was SWALLOWED by the monster” were awesome. But sad as frick song dude.
Let’s heccin go! I’ve been waiting to see this song, absolute banger as always
this song is beyond amazing. i love it with all my life. hope you get better legrand =)
I can relate, I know what it feels like to feel like God has left you ;-;
Since this is a lyrics video, can you move the "recommended videos" up above the lyrics so we can read the last piece?
Also, I love that you stepped out of the comfort zone of the saxophone interludes for this - this is such a pure song. It's also one that hits how I felt at that age. I will say that my life has gotten better and better as I have left that misplaced faith behind, but letting it go was a difficult experience.
I love this song so much, such raw emotion. Ill be praying for you as you continue on your journey of life. Praying that you'll see He's been here all along. God bless man and keep up the amazing music! 🙏
I love all LeGrand, but this song hits really hard
wow. let me be the first to say that this perfectly captures the last few years of my life. i don't think your issue here is misplaced faith. i think what happened was you adopted your parents' faith but didn't actually believe in God on your own.
i went through the same thing. it took ages of stagnancy and slowly slipping away for me to finally get to the point where i realized i was without belief. and it took a whole year of seeking Him--all the while mostly doubting His very existence--to finally realize that He is real.
i say this to say that i feel your pain. a lot of people go through hurt and wonder why God didn't save them. but you can't blame God for everything. we live in a terrible world with terrible people who do terrible things. these choices have physical, emotional, and spiritual consequences.
but I'm no better. God looks at me through the lens of Jesus and that is how my sins are justified in His eyes. He is righteous. He has to punish people for what they do wrong or He wouldn't be just.
I hope this helps you. i know how painful it was to go through this myself and I'll be praying that God shows you himself.
Now i can say i cried on a music. This is a first, you achieved with your art and i hope you'll keep up the good work.
As someone who just found God two years ago, this made me cry. Your talent knows no limits, Grand. Thank you for making my day.
I honestly don't think that lyrics praise religious faith.
But maybe it's just my interpretation giving too much importance to the final part of the song. You see he's songs often talk about the loss of his mother and his mental health issues, and in the first half of the song he talks about how he was very devoted... So when on the second half I hear things like:
"Because when I needed God the most he left me out for dead, he left my side... ...I was swallowed by the monsters and you disappeared, *you don't deserve your place* "
"But if he's real then one day I'll get to meet him and I know just what I'll say: ``throw me in the waves``... ... *And I'd rather drown and die than have to spend all of my life with misplaced faith* "
I interpreted it as his faith for god was misplaced, because he thought he would have saved him from all the monsters, but when he was then really swallowed by one of those monsters (the loss of his mother or most likely his mental health issues since he mentioned it in the song) he didn't save him... Therefore he doesn't deserve his place and he's faith for him, was misplaced.
But that's just my interpretation, maybe I'm wrong 💁
@@emanuelescarsella3124 Yeah his song seems to talk about him giving up on God. I gave up on him for a while too and went through a ton of stuff including depression, suicidal thoughts, etc, and thats kinda why this song resonates with me. I pray he finds happiness and peace, with or without God in his life.
this is not about finding god
it's about wasting your life following a "god" that ruins your life and makes you afraid of living
@@em.4800 yeah I know that, I was just commenting that it hit me in the feels. As someone who struggled with finding and trusting God, I understand and relate to the song. Chill.
@@em.4800God will not let you go through more than you can handle the devil does God is always with you every step of the way holding out his hand waiting for you to grab it so that he can help you, in the Bible it says that God will not interfere with the will of man but instead use it to help you out in the long run God leaves it up to you for whether you will accept him or not it is your choice and there are good and bad Christians same for any other religion And if "god" makes you afraid of living then that is not God that is the devil ,the Bible says God does not give you the power of fear but he gives you the power of love and happiness. And pleas keep in mind that God never promest that you would not have to go through any hardships if you believe in him he actually said the complete opposite but what he did promise was that you would never be alone while facing them and that he would always be there by your side even if you feel like he's not and i can garentee to you that god will not answer all of you prayers the way you want him to or as fast as you want him to, he knows what is the best for you even if you dont feel like he does some times. May God bless you in life and help live a good happy life. I hope you have a wonderful day😊

Brother I've never felt more understood thank you love this song 🤩👍
crazy that christians relate to this song and remain christian
Great job on the song your amazing
As a fairly religious man myself, I can't tell you how hard this hits, it honestly kind of hurts to listen to. All your life, you're told to just have faith and it'll turn out in the end, but for me at least, there's always this feeling of "what if that's not enough?" The last thing I want is to use it as a crutch or an excuse to be lazy. It's unfortunate that you had to struggle with your mental health, and your beliefs, at that, no one deserves that, so I'm glad you're doing better now, at least I hope that's the case.
Tbh faith isn't gonna be enough in most cases, because faith doesn't fix everything, you need, basically a rebellious spirit, you need to be a trickster to an extent, embody the fool yk. Cuz you need to be able to do things for yourself, and not be completely reliant on someone else, and you need the courage to be able to stand against that someone if you get there and they actually turn out to not be who they say they are, cuz the problem with faith is, there's always that chance that it's misplaced, there's always that chance that God is just a liar, and if he is, we need to stand up to him. Even if it seems impossible. After all that's the point of being a fool, cuz he may have a divine plan, but it's still ultimately a plan, and no plan is foolproof.
I agree that you need to do things yourself. After all, faith without works is dead. If you just have faith and leave it at that, it doesnt really mean anything. So, on the contrary, try studying the Bible a bit, and give Christianity effort instead of just sitting there and hoping God will save you. After all, if you want something in life, you have to ask for it or work for it. Christianity is no different.
this song would help if you were sad
A song i can relate to.
I saw it on Spotify the first time and loved the song. I really wished there was a music video about it.
it will come soon
@@secretlifeaintnosecret7054 really?
no he said he isn't going to make a music video abt it@@mystic3195
I understand what it's like to go through a trial. You feel alone and don't understand. Well, I can promise you, and you don't have to listen, that it will get better. Stay strong my brother and think about this and pray. I'm always here to talk as well. ❤️
My life is full of struggle and I often ask myself about my faith this song puts what my
Look, believing in jesus ain’t that easy as you thought. Satan brings you down and swallows you up, and you will lose faith. Just remember Jesus will always knock on the door, and wait there for you to answer and for him to come into your heart into your side and stay with you. When times where the monster has swallowed you up, and you think jesus isn’t by your side, remember that he is always in your side. Jesus is a mysterious god and He works in mysterious ways. If things didn’t go your way, the monster would swallow you up and you may lose faith and think you have misplaced faith, in times of sadness and grief. Turn to god for god can help you. Turn to his word and he’ll speak to you, Turn to your parents if you still have them, or your loved ones or anyone, even me. Faith is so hard to hold onto, but always try and read the bible, and listen to jesus. Book of acts is about faith, idk if you are a frequent bible reader or anything but I wish you the best.
I was just about to go to sleep but i need to listen to this
This song perfectly describes my blog Way & Soul.
Never did the christian faith tell us that the journey would be easy or that God would protect us from the world. It is our faith, despite the doubts and low points in our life that keeps us going. God loves you. I hope you can find him again and I'm praying for you.
Another banger, Can't wait to destroy fox mains in smash bros melee with this song playing
Awesome song!
Thanks
can relate
We all have problems but he never truly leaves us love your work legrand
When i was five years old, i was five 😢😭😭

@@Andrew-v8has a one year old, I think that is awesome
I identify with you. I hope you make more songs, yours are masterpieces.
This sounds like it would be an anime for some reason.
The lyrics remind me of "Heroes and Garden"
Not so much now that i hear it again
NGL I cryied to this song
I like this. Thank you
straight fire, again 🔥🔥
This will probably place me in the minority (which I have been in in every aspect of my life), but I am Christian. Seeing so many people like this who have probably been in misguided churches who are only in it for the money or haven't really studied scripture, or who have been in abusive relationships that use religion to condemn you makes me very sad. I feel your pain. Believe me. I've been in these situations and people who do that have no idea the damage they cause.
The Bible never says that trust in God will make life easy. If you think about it that would be unfair to those who don't know him. One's relationship with God will make them a bigger target in fact for the brokenness of this world. People do nothing but abuse God's give of free will and those who call themselves 'Christians' but don't show it and hurt others will be judged.
It takes more than blind belief; it takes really, really searching for the truth from more than one perspective.
On behalf of the Christian community,
I am so sorry.
Despite conflicting beliefs this is a great song.
LeGrand,
I really love this song. You did a great job, and I can tell that it really came from your life story. That considered , I wanted to reach out to you.
I myself am a Christian, and I feel God is moving in me to put myself out there for you. I don't know exactly what happened or what you went through that you referred to in this song, but I can assure you that you weren't alone. It may have seemed as though God left you when you needed Him, but He was there all along. Whatever happened and however painful it may have been for you to go through, I know that it was a part of God's plan for your life.
I don't know if or when you will see this message, but if God wants you to, I know it will reach you somehow someday. Whenever that is, I want you to know that I'm here if you want to talk about it. I'll be praying for you, and I hope God can find a way to move in your life.
May God bless you,
Owen Jensen
Day 13 of asking LeGrand to collab with Dreamybull for the epic saxophone duet
Why does this sound like it should belong in the greatest showman?
Almost chilling lyrics truly crafted with care
This is a great song, just wait your time it’s coming soon… 😊
I absolutely love this
Wasn't available when I checked Spotify, probably bc I'm in Canada, hope you add it there too 🙏
Religious trauma is a real a terrible problem, some years after will still wake with fears, if you or someone you know is experiencing this, I would recommend reaching out to “recovering from religion” they aren’t there to deconvert you but help you past any fears or traumas that you have. Seek help don’t let the waves pull you under.
This kinda explains one of the reasons I strayed away from religion and into agnosticism. I want to believe there is something, but the fact any god is willing to let all this bad happen to me and my family, or just anyone for that matter, make me feel conflicted. It's led me to believe that if there is a god, he's nothing but an observer. It pains me to think any divine being would allow or want any of this to happen in the world.
If God has a plan, good to know it was to ruin my fucking life.
I know God Loves you. He is your Father in Heaven. He has a plan for you and every wrong in your life has been redeemed in Christ. Every wrong towards you will be righted in the end. We lived before this life and will continue after this life and will have an eternity ahead free from the atrocities of mortality. I promise you Christ Lives and we all will rise with Him when He comes again. In His name, Amen.
The way I view it is if he exists, based entirely on his actions in the Bible he's at the very least malicious. Dude committed genocide that one time. And he damns anyone who doesn't agree with him to hell, that's like some petty dictator shit.
