Wow! This is a beautiful song from the heart. When JESUS really changes someone, that person becomes fully alive and they want everyone to know that the REASON for living is JESUS. JESUS is not just a 5 letter word , Jesus is ALIVE and he is REAL. Lacey knows this and I know this and I pray that whoever reads this will know this also. What is the reason for LIFE? The reason for LIFE is JESUS.
first time I heard this song, i was like 12 years old, an atheist, VERY depressed and suicidal, was even self-harming at one point.. now I’m 17 turning 18 and listening to this song now, makes me proud of how far I’ve come and how much I’ve recovered from my depression all by God’s grace 🤍 idk who needs to hear this but keep ya head up!
God loves you so much. don't follow the Christians of this world but the God who created it. praying you find your own peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding, one that only comes from surrending to Christ
+Bunny Chan i agree with cody carless. We do not follow the Christians of this world. We all are imperfect and are still able to sin. We follow Jesus Christ. Standing before God He will judge us by the 10 commandments. It is impossible to keep even the first one for one moment of our lives. We need a sinless sacrifice. Blood is what keeps us alive so blood had to be shed to give us life. Jesus paid the price for us to be redeemed to God. The call is to repent(turn from your sin) and believe that Jesus came as payment for your sin debt and you will be saved. The chain of sin weighs down the soul and only Jesus can break it. The Bible says in Jeremiah 20:11-13 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. We love you because Christ loved us first. He died knowing the price of our sin.
Cried like a baby and ended in prayer listening to this song. I'd been getting into Lacey's solo music and her work in Flyleaf lately. A little over 2 and a half years ago, I was lost to self harm and low self esteem and just believing I was worthless. I wanted to take my own life one day and I remembered a piece of Scripture I had in a book somewhere (by Brian Welch). I called out to God as a last resort and His spirit touched me, and I was filled with a joy, peace, and LOVE I had never felt before. I gave my life to Jesus then. Lately, I've been losing sight of loving Him instead of sin. Along with generally just struggling to address Him as Father and not just Lord. Tonight, every lyric in this song hit me and made me remember the reason I'm still here and that despite my sin I am still deeply loved by God. What a beautiful heart of worship Lacey has, and what wonderful things God has accomplished through her thus far! To those struggling with similar things, please know you are never alone in them like I thought I was... Reach out. And above all, Jesus loves you when it feels like no one else does. I once believed everyone secretly despised me and only acted friendly to me because they felt bad, and that no one could ever understand me. Jesus proved me wrong. He cares so deeply for YOU. And He's calling to you whether you know it or not. He is the reason I and many others have joy and peace and love in our restored souls. Bring your burdens to Him, He can take them❤🖤💕💕
I'm a Christian, I was born into the religion and I've been going to church my whole life. I admit I'm not not a big fan of church b/c it doesn't speak out to me. It doesn't make me feel any closer to God, if anything it makes me feel more like an outsider, and out of the 20 years I have going to church, no sermon has ever touched me the way this song has. This song made me feel so proud to be a Christian and to know there's still hope despite all the mistakes that have been made. We need more music like this.
WritingtheUnwritable The church is just another place to worship God and learn his word. But we can worship him anywhere. We don't have to go to church because we can worship him anywhere we are. Even if it means listening and spending time with him at home.
Ryan Dunn Going to church is not the mark of a Christian. Knowing God is. So, read your Bible. Every day. And seek God out. Not going to church is not a sin. :) Going to church is simply to grow with other believers. It is an opportunity to learn and grow. And if you find nothing in it for yourself, you coild go for others, as a servant. And not every church is preaching truth from the Bible. "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you."
i use to hate listening to christian music but yet i was raised in a southern baptist church and after my step dad passed i was deperessed and i found god yet again and today ima a better man then wat i was i picked up my ole guitar and started writing music and every song i sing i think of him sitting their and saying zack u got a chance of creating music and singing and making it a career
All my life I search and seek something that'd make me whole but it did the opposite. It took and took and hurt me. Until Jesus. Oh the love of Christ passes all my understanding but I knew it was/is true. Hallelujah. I'm alive again.
God is possessive. I love that he loves me that much. He sought me and found me. And for that I'm truly grateful. He bridged the gap that was because of sin. I stand on that path firm in knowing that it will lead to him. He is my passion.
One time my aunt shipped my brother , my friend and I on a bus with her church to see a Christian concert. I heard this song and it’s stuck with me since ❤
I totally love this song.... "I was made for your love and gave others your place"....That's one of the things in this song that really gets to me. How many of us have done this? How many of us still do and don't even realize it? I know that I did this for my whole life, and I'm so glad that I don't anymore. Thank you Jesus for finding me and leading me back to you!
Your story is inspirational, she was used to saved my life with her testimony. I love her so much. She will always be my inspiration. Don't give up guys, you got it .. you are special, God loves you so much! Even though everything seems so different in your home, with your family or friends, He cares about you, you're so special. "wait and know that God understands you, be still" you are not alone
I don't follow any religion but listening to Lacey's story really makes me envy those who have found a God to believe in. I only wish I could have the reasurrence that someone above loves me and has a plan for me. But I don't know what it is that prevents me from believing. I think it's because I'm stubborn. Because I'm so used to having religion jammed down my throat that I don't want to give in to them. But if you have found your God, then I envy you. I really do.
Your not giving in if you believe. If you believe that just makes us and most importantly God happy. Don't listen to the lies of the world saying that if you believe you're giving in, because your not. You just were able to believe in your God that everyone ridicules. And trust me, giving in is not believing in him, it's refusing to believe in him because your either too scared or don't think you have a reason to.
Even the devil believes in God. There are lies you'll hear from Christians who are still lost. But just please know that you are loved so deeply, you'll never truly believe it. God himself came and died for you for the CHANCE you'd run to Him one day. Idk what you're going through in life, but if you open your heart and just pray to him and run to Him, you'll know a greater joy than many.
I wasn't trying to make you cry, however, just remember there is always someone there to listen, when you smile, He smiles, and when you cries, it's a voice telling you that you'll make it out alright. You are the reason Jesus came and died. I just hope you are led to give Him a fair chance one day. And I'll pray for you.
I'm pagan, I've had my own issues with Christians and Christianity, but it's people like lacey that make me defend other's rights to worship who they please. Christianity as a whole has been twisted by hateful people, and my heart goes out to those that are genuinely trying to have love for all, like Jesus said. Y'all get a lot of shit for the actions of others, and i hope that one day we can all be at peace together, no matter who we are or what deities we send our prayers to.
god IS REAL! he loves us and wants us to call on him. please reconsider, accept him, and put him first in your life. he WILL speak to you, guide you, and love you through everything. may god bless you and your family.
“You bled, you died, to be with me, why would you do something like that, for someone like me…”. I can say I literally cry when I hear this part, I hope Lacey knows how powerful her words are, I thank her for helping so many others realize their worth, In Jesus name
+Elia Miranda “religion” is a set of dogmatic beliefs and practises that are to help a person achieve a spiritual goal. Religion is about believing and doing the right thing in order to be “right” with the spiritual world. That's not so with Christianity. The bible says there is nothing man can do to be in right standing with God. It says even our good deeds are but filthy rags before the holiness of God. Christianity is a relationship, based on what has been done by God on your behalf, through Jesus, nothing you do could ever make you more acceptable than you already are if you put your trust in Jesus Christ.
John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. I think this explains how special we are to God. We are all special to Jesus :)
Little more than a month ago, I was dead in sin and felt irredeemable. Jesus has given me a new heart to live, and love in His name and I can't stop crying tears of joy because of it.
I am a Christian. Growing up I was bullied at school and my home life wasn't too great either. I eventually didn't see the point in life and became a self harmer and I was suicidal, but one day God came down and rescued me. What a great God we serve!
Lacey's music always has so much heart. She is by far my favorite musician and is my hero. I'm not even religious at all, but she still means everything to me. She's what made me want to be a singer too, and to change my life from being in darkness into the light. Her music literally changed my life
To know that this is the story of her life is a miracle in its self. To hear this makes me cry, but to know the outcome of her story is joy! I love you lacey!!! God bless!!!
This song is beautiful, i love it . Now that i gave my life to Christ and i am now a born again Christian . I totally understand how this feels. I used to listen to listen to fly leaf when i was in 7th grade . and i was suicidal, i used to cut my self for the feeling i was addicted to the feeling ... i was a broken child. now i am set free and i found the reason to live . i used to hate waking up .. now i love waking up next to my husband and seeing my beautiful smiling kids in the morning. I can now give them the best life they could have . Thank you for never giving up on me God. I love you dearly, thank you for saving me .
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I used to have a sense of self righteousness because I hardly had a problem with sin. Or so I thought. I did what I considered minor sins. White lies, stealing a pen, etc... i somehow thought I was better than others because I didn't deal with cursing or lust or anger. And despite my self rightouseness I actually was pretty humble. I didn't even realize back then that I was self righteous. I just thought everyone else lacked self control. Then life really hit me hard.. i mean back to back hard. God was TRULY humbling me to help me know the state of my fallen nature. Boy do I see everyone differently now. I used to have a lot of compassion for everyone except for drug users and alcoholics. (To me murder is still really hard to give compassion for. It just is the worst..) But now I have compassion for all and I can see how they get to that point and how broke down they must be to be there. Im grateful God humbled me in ways I never knew I needed it.
I love the story of your life. I came back to church after being away for so many years and I find myself just as excited about being loved by God as you are. This sing is so beautiful and so is everything else you have written. Thankyou for sharing with us and may God continue to bless you in bringing people to him!
It was the most amazing experience I've ever had. I even got a picture with her, she said she can see my spirit and my heart and a light in my eyes. Told her how I've felt God hug me a couple times and she jumped up and down smiling saying "Isn't that wonderful?" lol I told her it truly is. Before I said goodbye, I told her I loved her. She grinned so big and ran into my arms hugging me so tight. I've never felt a hug like that before in my life, it was so much love! She didn't even need to say
+Sara Green I don't know what you're talking about. If you're talking about the new lead singer of Flyleaf Kristen May, then she most certainly is .I follow her on twitter & she's posted about God quite a bit back whenever I saw what she was posting. I think I've even seen her post scriptures before as well. You can tell by her fruits that she is. I can't believe people make statements likes this when it's not even true.
Sara Green I couldn't care less if she is christian or not. That is her choice to make and if she chose not to be than people should be willing to accept it.
i listen to this song for almost years..It made me cry..I've been hurting for almost 5 and half months because of my ex boyfriend..I blame god for everything..But i was wrong..God isnt the reason why my ex boyfriend broke up with me..The reason is myself..I realize that god did anything to us..So after that day , i was a born again christian in the philippines..God is our savior , our healer..God never give up on us..He solve our problems and he can hear what were saying by prayer.. oh god , Thank you for everything that you've done to us.Amen
So .. beautiful and mind blowing. I almost cried while listening to this amazing song. She is truly an artist and I love the fact that she is continuing to make her own music even though she isn't with flyleaf anymore. Lacey, I look up to you so much and I love the grace you're music and lyrics bring to a lot of different people. You are amazing. Keep up the beautiful music and you're talent. ❤️
❤️🙏🏻 this reminds me so much of my younger daughter but she’s still not seeing things right I hope she can get to this point one day very soon. God Bless our Brittany our beautiful angel ❤️🙏🏻 we will not give up!!:)
I am not religious at all, but I would love to just say I hope everyone has a blessed day and life and that this message is just simply beautiful and I will always hope for the best of things in life for me, my family, and others.
it will. we all have skeletons in our closets. Jesus can clean them out. will be praying for your salvation. it's not hard. just start reading a bible, like a book, investigate the facts. may God bless.
Makes me shed tears of love and hope. She brings me closer to God and her testimony has helped not just me but us. She's a great person and singer personally. We all see the reason. Amen Lacey. Bless you. ;*)
Lacey you have no idea what this song means to me. My kids was taken from me when my ex told lies on me that I couldn't beat in court and I felt like i lost everything and wanted to take my own life and God came Into my life and then I heard this song when I started listening to Christian rock. I heard this song and it felt as though yiu wrote this song for me to hear it. Thank you for this song if you ever get to read this which I hope so cause this song means a lot to me.
SHE IS THE BEST. i absolutely love her so much. i mean just listen to her... her lyrics have always been so real , the way she sings every word is like she feels everything she is saying. i can literally feel the pain, and every emotion she is feeling by just listening to her. she is amazing. and she'll always be my favourite.
I've always follow your music, and now more than ever! Everytime I listen to this song and Mercy Tree, I just cry like a baby! How wonderful and powerful the love of God is! I just hope that he uses you more and more with your talent!!! Love you Lacey, God bless you!
this song is about the grace and Peace that God gives you and me though his son dying for our sins and being raised from the grave on the third day and him giving us a new life and great eternal life that is why I love God and Jesus
The most beautiful song I've ever heard, so emotional perfomance and powerful lyrics. So perfect, just can't be true. Moreover, it changed me and my life. Thank You, Lacey.
I had to Come back to This Video Just to comment.~ This song has been stuck in my head for two days. It's beautiful. And Inspiring. This song alone made me feel closer to God, Whom I had no belief in until I heard the passion in this Video. Thank you Lacy.
This is such a beautiful piece of art and praise. I love it. God will wait for us patiently until we decide to stop running and come to Him. When we do, He welcomes us with arms wide open.
In her book she was explaining her faith to someone who asked her if she was religious... And she responded that she wasn't really religious, she just really loved Jesus. I was so sad when she left Flyleaf... But the book gave me perspective and I just wish her all the joy and happiness that God has planned for her. Thank you Lacey for continuing to share your soul with us through music. God used to you save me through some very tough times.
"Thank you for never giving up on me! When I looked to everything else but you You bled and you died to be with me! Why would you do something like that For someone like me?" These are beautiful. The entire song is beautiful!
i don't care if this is cristian music, I LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL VOICE of LACEY... and I miss her so much... I'M NOT SO NEAR FROM GOD but Lacey made me do this with her music...
God loves you so much! This song demonstrates it so well. He is ready and eager to answer your questions! his love is perfect... and it saved my life. he can change you. just... ask him to reveal himself :)
Dont know if you read your bible but genesis is the biggest love story in the bible about how God's grace surpasses all, He could have just annihilated us for the evil we have done when we were given a simple rule, but He made us live and laid it all upon Himself through humbling Himself and coming as a Human to die a human death so that the penalty can be paid through Jesus Christ, and this is why we must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour because He bought us from death. Praise God for His Love!
We are nothing but Mere mortals remember that how could we truly understand a being that is magnificent as God? But one day we will become more we shall become Royalty.
Wow, yo escuchaba tus canciones antes de conocer a Cristo y me encantaban, ahora estoy muy feliz por que a través de tu vida puedo ver que Dios no necesita de gente religiosa sino adoradores en espíritu y en verdad. Hace algunos años que veía este vídeo silenciaba la ultima parte donde gritas, pero ahora que lo vuelvo a ver tengo más claridad de que hice mal al reprobar esta canción; por una entrevista muy reciente que vi mencionabas que de la misma manera Jesús grito en la cruz, y creo que muchos de nosotros hemos gritado desde lo más profundo de nuestro ser, al ver quienes somos, al ver quien es Dios, gritamos pidiendo su ayuda, y simplemente es una manera de expresar lo que hay en el interior. Y aunque muchas veces nuestra boca no emita ningún sonido nuestro espíritu y alma lo hacen. Nunca cambies, y que Dios te siga guiando con su Espíritu. Que seas un vaso que él siga utilizando para derramar de su amor en aquellos que tal vez nadie más podría alcanzar si no solo tú.
I went and saw her live during the RESET Movement tour the other night, and let me tell you it was a nice I will never forget. The concert itself was amazing, but afterwards I met Lacey herself! Met her husband Josh briefly when buying merch he let me have the poster for free which was super sweet. Then I met Lacey little after that, I talked to her for awhile about my life and my experiences with God. We connected so well, she got chills hearing my story and even prayed for me then and there.
Ran across this song a week ago. I had never heard it before and I've been a fan of Lacey since the first time I heard Flyleaf. Probably the most powerful song I've ever heard. It relates to me on so many levels. Thank you Lacey!!
this songs amazing I've never heard it before I just love you Lacey strum you have an amazing voice and your such an inspiration to us who struggle with the light and dark. you show the truth in life. thank you Jesus for Lacey to inspire so many people in this world. I'm so grateful for your music.
I am not religious because of many reasons, but I am awake and this is a beautiful song. The light isn't a religion its the universe, its energy, its everything
Its a daily walk and i give him first place in my life. I will fail, I may not pray as much as some but he loves me no matter what. I am learning, growing and walking with him hand and hand. To him I give all the praise and glory from the first day I recieved him as my personal savior into eternity. Foerver.
Thank u for never giving up on me... when I looked to everything else n lived so selfishly... you bled u died to b with me why would u do something like for someone like me!!! But now I finally see the reason... I love you Jesus...
One of my best friends showed me this song early October and it wasn’t until November 10 when I finally listened to this song while driving and put it on repeat. The third time the song came on, I cried. There are times when I have this song on repeat for hours or even days
I am SPEECHLESS SISTER LACY!! I SAY IF I COULD WRITE A SONG TO EXPLAIN MYSELF THIS ONE WOULD BE IT SISTER!! OH FATHER GOD PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR MY SIN'S, MY SELFISHNESS, AND FOR ME LIVING FOR ME,MYSELF, AND I FOR 52 YEAR'S AND 24 DAY'S FATHER, I BELIEVE IT AND I RECEIVE YOUR MERCY, YOUR LOVE AND GRACE FATHER GOD IN FAITH OF THE TRUTH, THE WAY, AND THE LIFE YESHUA LORD OF LORD'S AND KING OF KING'S, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, AMEN, AMEN!! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!! THANK YOU SISTER LACY!! MAY THE PEACE OF GOD BE UPON THEE TODAY, TOMORROW, AND FOR ETERNITY!! LOVE Y'ALL AND GOD BLESS Y'ALL AND ALL Y'ALL'S FAMILIES IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY AMEN!! LYNN FALCON BORN AGAIN MARCH 4TH, 2020!!🕆
The Reason Lacey Mosley All my life, I've searched for something To satisfy the longing in my heart And every time I come away Emptier than before And now I finally see the reason 'Cause I was made to be yours alone You formed my heart with your own hands But I just could not understand If I gave you my life I'd be healed by your Grace I was made for Your love And gave others Your place I spent my days giving my heart away to anything new Only to ache from the poison of my temporary muse And there were times I'd cry myself to sleep at night Only to wake up wishing that I didn't And now I finally see the reason 'Cause I was made to be yours alone You formed my heart with your own hands But I just could not understand If I gave you my life I'd be healed by your Grace I was made for Your love And gave others Your place Thank you for never giving up on me When I looked to everything else and lived so selfishly You bled, you died to be with me Why would you do something like that for someone like me? And now I finally see the reason 'Cause I was made to be yours alone You formed my heart with your own hands And now I finally understand And I give you my life And I'm healed by your Grace I was made for your love that no one can replace This is it I won't miss everything I am made for To be yours All yours
this song is so powerful and beautiful that no words can explain the emotions I get after hearing it. lacey your story is truly amazing and your have inspired so many people just by simply reading it. It takes an extraordinary person to pull that off :).

When JESUS really changes someone, that person becomes fully alive and they want everyone to know that the REASON for living is JESUS.
JESUS is not just a 5 letter word , Jesus is ALIVE and he is REAL.
Lacey knows this and I know this and I pray that whoever reads this will know this also.
What is the reason for LIFE?
The reason for LIFE is JESUS.
Amen ❤

Sounds like you and Lacey have few things common. Please Bellssismamoonlight Keep worshiping God, he and Jesus are there for you. And they love you.
Roy Reddick I definitely will continue to worship God! thank you so much & God bless you 💙
God is great!
@@discobroccolifool968 all the time.. 💙
Very glad to read your comment! I hope things are still looking up for you. I'm slowly getting back to a place of positivity myself.
I love how non-commercial Lacey is. She sings for God. Not for the cameras.
xEtherealWings she sings for the Love of Christ and God.
Love love love that about her......
Wow!!! I truely love your comment. Very nice observation, 😏wow 😍
Amen praise God.
She was never commercial
I legit was brought to tears from this song.
And I fought it. I didn't want want to cry
It's hard to comprehend someone who doesn't believe in God listening to these words and not feeling Him.
No, it doesn't matter
as an atheist i say to all u christians who speak a truly kind and peaceful message, thank you
+Bunny Chan as a christian i say to you thank you for not coming here hate us :) may god bless you!
God loves you so much. don't follow the Christians of this world but the God who created it. praying you find your own peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding, one that only comes from surrending to Christ
be loved child, your Father is seeking you :^)

Your welcome but it's Christ in us. We aren't possible of such love separated from Him but your welcome because we are submissive subjects.
Cried like a baby and ended in prayer listening to this song. I'd been getting into Lacey's solo music and her work in Flyleaf lately.

thats how i feel. i mean i know i should go but I dont:( i hope God will change me

Pitchloid Creations You should probably switch your church
i use to hate listening to christian music but yet i was raised in a southern baptist church and after my step dad passed i was deperessed and i found god yet again and today ima a better man then wat i was i picked up my ole guitar and started writing music and every song i sing i think of him sitting their and saying zack u got a chance of creating music and singing and making it a career
This song made me cry 😭
All my life I search and seek something that'd make me whole but it did the opposite. It took and took and hurt me. Until Jesus. Oh the love of Christ passes all my understanding but I knew it was/is true. Hallelujah. I'm alive again.
Lord I still don't understand and see the reason, but I know there is one. Please help me to hold on to you, and you alone.
Amen sista! :)
Tyler Washburn Thank you bro.
Dont give up..walk one day at a time and fill your mind with good things daily
Ruth Murray I'm tryin. Thank you.
God is possessive. I love that he loves me that much. He sought me and found me. And for that I'm truly grateful. He bridged the gap that was because of sin. I stand on that path firm in knowing that it will lead to him. He is my passion.
One time my aunt shipped my brother , my friend and I on a bus with her church to see a Christian concert. I heard this song and it’s stuck with me since ❤
you bled you died
i love her screams
Not screams btw. Just layered vocals. Closer to a 1 person group-shout than anything else really. Screams are vocal fry.
I totally love this song.... "I was made for your love and gave others your place"....That's one of the things in this song that really gets to me. How many of us have done this? How many of us still do and don't even realize it? I know that I did this for my whole life, and I'm so glad that I don't anymore. Thank you Jesus for finding me and leading me back to you!
Your story is inspirational, she was used to saved my life with her testimony. I love her so much. She will always be my inspiration. Don't give up guys, you got it .. you are special, God loves you so much! Even though everything seems so different in your home, with your family or friends, He cares about you, you're so special. "wait and know that God understands you, be still" you are not alone
Sabrina Lopes Same here! Wouldn’t be alive today without her music/book.
I don't follow any religion but listening to Lacey's story really makes me envy those who have found a God to believe in. I only wish I could have the reasurrence that someone above loves me and has a plan for me. But I don't know what it is that prevents me from believing. I think it's because I'm stubborn. Because I'm so used to having religion jammed down my throat that I don't want to give in to them. But if you have found your God, then I envy you. I really do.
Your not giving in if you believe. If you believe that just makes us and most importantly God happy. Don't listen to the lies of the world saying that if you believe you're giving in, because your not. You just were able to believe in your God that everyone ridicules. And trust me, giving in is not believing in him, it's refusing to believe in him because your either too scared or don't think you have a reason to.
Even the devil believes in God. There are lies you'll hear from Christians who are still lost. But just please know that you are loved so deeply, you'll never truly believe it. God himself came and died for you for the CHANCE you'd run to Him one day. Idk what you're going through in life, but if you open your heart and just pray to him and run to Him, you'll know a greater joy than many.
Blair Davis this literally brought tears to my ears so thank you
I wasn't trying to make you cry, however, just remember there is always someone there to listen, when you smile, He smiles, and when you cries, it's a voice telling you that you'll make it out alright. You are the reason Jesus came and died. I just hope you are led to give Him a fair chance one day. And I'll pray for you.
Blair Davis no it's not an issue, but again, all I can say is thank you
I'm pagan, I've had my own issues with Christians and Christianity, but it's people like lacey that make me defend other's rights to worship who they please. Christianity as a whole has been twisted by hateful people, and my heart goes out to those that are genuinely trying to have love for all, like Jesus said. Y'all get a lot of shit for the actions of others, and i hope that one day we can all be at peace together, no matter who we are or what deities we send our prayers to.
I'm not religious in fact I'm an atheist but this made me cry
god IS REAL! he loves us and wants us to call on him. please reconsider, accept him, and put him first in your life. he WILL speak to you, guide you, and love you through everything. may god bless you and your family.
God love you
“You bled, you died, to be with me, why would you do something like that, for someone like me…”. I can say I literally cry when I hear this part, I hope Lacey knows how powerful her words are, I thank her for helping so many others realize their worth, In Jesus name
Christian, Jewish, atheist, Catholic whatever I ain't religious but this song is ducking amazeballs Lacey is brilliant
yea she is, she can sing, scream her guts out and be awesome all in one little 4'11 package
Christ is not a religion my friend.
+Elia Miranda it's a lifestyle
Yep
+Elia Miranda “religion” is a set of dogmatic beliefs and practises that are to help a person achieve a spiritual goal. Religion is about believing and doing the right thing in order to be “right” with the spiritual world. That's not so with Christianity. The bible says there is nothing man can do to be in right standing with God. It says even our good deeds are but filthy rags before the holiness of God. Christianity is a relationship, based on what has been done by God on your behalf, through Jesus, nothing you do could ever make you more acceptable than you already are if you put your trust in Jesus Christ.
This song gives me hope that I am someone special. Thank you.
John 3:16For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
I think this explains how special we are to God. We are all special to Jesus :)
True! Hallelujah.
Amen!
Kiamesha Sims You are💕 God has a plan for you too
Kiamesha Sims you are!! God loves your heart so much!!
Little more than a month ago, I was dead in sin and felt irredeemable. Jesus has given me a new heart to live, and love in His name and I can't stop crying tears of joy because of it.
i cried when I first listened to this song, as I was crying, I began to pray, and the very next week I was baptized
I had to hold back from crying. Truly powerful. Praise God for His radical love.
your not alone in wanting to hold back the tears, it's tough...so i just let it all out haha
The reason- lacey sturm
Amen! Praise God!
I let it go!!! I'm bawling 😭😭
Dear God thank you for Lacy Sturms beautiful voice
I am a Christian. Growing up I was bullied at school and my home life wasn't too great either. I eventually didn't see the point in life and became a self harmer and I was suicidal, but one day God came down and rescued me. What a great God we serve!
Why do I love this song? Why do I cry so many times while listening to this song? Because it's beautiful and God-Worthy.
There's something about Lacey Sturm and Flyleaf's music that makes it feel otherworldly
Lacey's music always has so much heart. She is by far my favorite musician and is my hero. I'm not even religious at all, but she still means everything to me. She's what made me want to be a singer too, and to change my life from being in darkness into the light. Her music literally changed my life
I don't know how I missed this all those years ago, but it was good timing to hear it now.
To know that this is the story of her life is a miracle in its self. To hear this makes me cry, but to know the outcome of her story is joy! I love you lacey!!! God bless!!!
The message of salvation could not be expressed more clearly !
This song is beautiful, i love it . Now that i gave my life to Christ and i am now a born again Christian . I totally understand how this feels. I used to listen to listen to fly leaf when i was in 7th grade . and i was suicidal, i used to cut my self for the feeling i was addicted to the feeling ... i was a broken child. now i am set free and i found the reason to live . i used to hate waking up .. now i love waking up next to my husband and seeing my beautiful smiling kids in the morning. I can now give them the best life they could have . Thank you for never giving up on me God. I love you dearly, thank you for saving me .
I was so sad thinking you would stop singing, and i just found your solo!
I really love your voice & style, GOD BLESS YOU NOW AND FOREVER!
Thet line..."you formed my heart with your own hand" that's fucking deep
You bled you died to be with me why would you do something like that for someone like me..... Love that line i really relate
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. I used to have a sense of self righteousness because I hardly had a problem with sin. Or so I thought. I did what I considered minor sins. White lies, stealing a pen, etc... i somehow thought I was better than others because I didn't deal with cursing or lust or anger. And despite my self rightouseness I actually was pretty humble. I didn't even realize back then that I was self righteous. I just thought everyone else lacked self control. Then life really hit me hard.. i mean back to back hard. God was TRULY humbling me to help me know the state of my fallen nature. Boy do I see everyone differently now. I used to have a lot of compassion for everyone except for drug users and alcoholics. (To me murder is still really hard to give compassion for. It just is the worst..)
But now I have compassion for all and I can see how they get to that point and how broke down they must be to be there. Im grateful God humbled me in ways I never knew I needed it.
This song basically describes my life for the past year and a half. I'm crying right now, this is so amazing.
I love the story of your life. I came back to church after being away for so many years and I find myself just as excited about being loved by God as you are. This sing is so beautiful and so is everything else you have written. Thankyou for sharing with us and may God continue to bless you in bringing people to him!
It was the most amazing experience I've ever had. I even got a picture with her, she said she can see my spirit and my heart and a light in my eyes. Told her how I've felt God hug me a couple times and she jumped up and down smiling saying "Isn't that wonderful?" lol I told her it truly is. Before I said goodbye, I told her I loved her. She grinned so big and ran into my arms hugging me so tight. I've never felt a hug like that before in my life, it was so much love! She didn't even need to say
Lacey is one of my top 3 favorite singers of all time. Flyleaf will never be the same without her, but I understand her leaving the band.
Helena I love Lacey, but Flyleaf's still good. The new album by them is great. I'm really looking fwd. to getting this album by Lacey too.
Helena I totally agree with you, and Lacey is one of the very best and her voice in song is absolutely the most fabulous of all! :)
The new singer is not a Christian. Perhaps God is doing something there. Hopefully.
+Sara Green I don't know what you're talking about. If you're talking about the new lead singer of Flyleaf Kristen May, then she most certainly is .I follow her on twitter & she's posted about God quite a bit back whenever I saw what she was posting. I think I've even seen her post scriptures before as well. You can tell by her fruits that she is. I can't believe people make statements likes this when it's not even true.
Sara Green I couldn't care less if she is christian or not. That is her choice to make and if she chose not to be than people should be willing to accept it.
Im so happy for Lacey... You give us all hope.
I can't get enough of this song!!
i listen to this song for almost years..It made me cry..I've been hurting for almost 5 and half months because of my ex boyfriend..I blame god for everything..But i was wrong..God isnt the reason why my ex boyfriend broke up with me..The reason is myself..I realize that god did anything to us..So after that day , i was a born again christian in the philippines..God is our savior , our healer..God never give up on us..He solve our problems and he can hear what were saying by prayer..
oh god ,
Thank you for everything that you've done to us.Amen
So .. beautiful and mind blowing. I almost cried while listening to this amazing song. She is truly an artist and I love the fact that she is continuing to make her own music even though she isn't with flyleaf anymore. Lacey, I look up to you so much and I love the grace you're music and lyrics bring to a lot of different people. You are amazing. Keep up the beautiful music and you're talent. ❤️
Wow, still beautiful and powerful in 2023 as it was 9 years ago. Halleluyah to the Lord who loves like this!
I'm crying right now! This song just told my story. God is just so wonderful and He speaks so beautifully through Lacey. :')
❤️🙏🏻 this reminds me so much of my younger daughter but she’s still not seeing things right I hope she can get to this point one day very soon. God Bless our Brittany our beautiful angel ❤️🙏🏻 we will not give up!!:)
I am not religious at all, but I would love to just say I hope everyone has a blessed day and life and that this message is just simply beautiful and I will always hope for the best of things in life for me, my family, and others.
congratulations!!. glad you're not religious. now start a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus!. check out lacey's testimony.
Ron Dunbar what a coincidence. I was actually thinking about it earlier before I saw this comment. I feel it will be good for me to do that.
it will. we all have skeletons in our closets. Jesus can clean them out. will be praying for your salvation. it's not hard. just start reading a bible, like a book, investigate the facts. may God bless.
@@k4b00m6 so how’s it been?
Yesterday, Lacey shared her testimony and sang this song at ACC for Festival of Hope.
absolutely amazing.PTL!
It's... So.... Amazing.
Love it ♥
Me to
Wow. This is so me. Thank you Doug for pointing me in this direction. You walked into the store when I was falling again. God sent you to me.
Makes me shed tears of love and hope. She brings me closer to God and her testimony has helped not just me but us. She's a great person and singer personally. We all see the reason. Amen Lacey. Bless you. ;*)
(: I feel the same.~
Lacey you have no idea what this song means to me. My kids was taken from me when my ex told lies on me that I couldn't beat in court and I felt like i lost everything and wanted to take my own life and God came Into my life and then I heard this song when I started listening to Christian rock. I heard this song and it felt as though yiu wrote this song for me to hear it. Thank you for this song if you ever get to read this which I hope so cause this song means a lot to me.
SHE IS THE BEST. i absolutely love her so much. i mean just listen to her... her lyrics have always been so real , the way she sings every word is like she feels everything she is saying. i can literally feel the pain, and every emotion she is feeling by just listening to her. she is amazing. and she'll always be my favourite.
I've always follow your music, and now more than ever! Everytime I listen to this song and Mercy Tree, I just cry like a baby! How wonderful and powerful the love of God is! I just hope that he uses you more and more with your talent!!! Love you Lacey, God bless you!
I look at Lacey in a whole different way now . :') I still love her hard rock Christian music she made with Flyleaf but this is just beautiful . :'3
this song is about the grace and Peace that God gives you and me though his son dying for our sins and being raised from the grave on the third day and him giving us a new life and great eternal life that is why I love God and Jesus
This song is absolutely amazing! ♥️
Yes this song def made me cry now knowing what she went through.....
God's spirit, and her true heart now, is in her perception in this song. So amazing!
I Saw her at rock the river 2012... She talked about how her life was just going down in a spiral... Just like me... And how God really helped
The most beautiful song I've ever heard, so emotional perfomance and powerful lyrics. So perfect, just can't be true.
Moreover, it changed me and my life. Thank You, Lacey.
These lyrics are literally how I feel everyday but I just can't bring myself to believe in God.
I had to Come back to This Video Just to comment.~
This song has been stuck in my head for two days. It's beautiful. And Inspiring.
This song alone made me feel closer to God, Whom I had no belief in until I heard the passion in this Video. Thank you Lacy.
your comment was beautiful.
You and me both #Evernessa
She needs to starting making more songs like this. A solo version with out her old band members. She can start a family band if she wants.
my heart awakens when I hear this
I love reading all the beautiful stories about people finding God. I finally see the reason why I am here, and I am so blessed! 💖
This is such a beautiful piece of art and praise. I love it. God will wait for us patiently until we decide to stop running and come to Him. When we do, He welcomes us with arms wide open.
you are so right
In her book she was explaining her faith to someone who asked her if she was religious... And she responded that she wasn't really religious, she just really loved Jesus. I was so sad when she left Flyleaf... But the book gave me perspective and I just wish her all the joy and happiness that God has planned for her. Thank you Lacey for continuing to share your soul with us through music. God used to you save me through some very tough times.
This is totally Lacey's testimony in a song! :) Such a powerful song! Brings tears to my eyes. ;')
"Thank you for never giving up on me!
When I looked to everything else but you
You bled and you died to be with me!
Why would you do something like that
For someone like me?"
These are beautiful. The entire song is beautiful!
She stills sounds amazing. Even though I see a completely different Lacey, it doesn't matter. She sings beautifully.
i don't care if this is cristian music, I LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL VOICE of LACEY... and I miss her so much... I'M NOT SO NEAR FROM GOD but Lacey made me do this with her music...
I still don't understand God or His love, but I'm gonna trust it anyway.
give into him & believe his love is so powerful
God loves you so much! This song demonstrates it so well. He is ready and eager to answer your questions! his love is perfect... and it saved my life. he can change you. just... ask him to reveal himself :)
Dont know if you read your bible but genesis is the biggest love story in the bible about how God's grace surpasses all, He could have just annihilated us for the evil we have done when we were given a simple rule, but He made us live and laid it all upon Himself through humbling Himself and coming as a Human to die a human death so that the penalty can be paid through Jesus Christ, and this is why we must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and saviour because He bought us from death. Praise God for His Love!
We are nothing but Mere mortals remember that how could we truly understand a being that is magnificent as God? But one day we will become more we shall become Royalty.
Wow, yo escuchaba tus canciones antes de conocer a Cristo y me encantaban, ahora estoy muy feliz por que a través de tu vida puedo ver que Dios no necesita de gente religiosa sino adoradores en espíritu y en verdad.
Hace algunos años que veía este vídeo silenciaba la ultima parte donde gritas, pero ahora que lo vuelvo a ver tengo más claridad de que hice mal al reprobar esta canción; por una entrevista muy reciente que vi mencionabas que de la misma manera Jesús grito en la cruz, y creo que muchos de nosotros hemos gritado desde lo más profundo de nuestro ser, al ver quienes somos, al ver quien es Dios, gritamos pidiendo su ayuda, y simplemente es una manera de expresar lo que hay en el interior. Y aunque muchas veces nuestra boca no emita ningún sonido nuestro espíritu y alma lo hacen.
Nunca cambies, y que Dios te siga guiando con su Espíritu. Que seas un vaso que él siga utilizando para derramar de su amor en aquellos que tal vez nadie más podría alcanzar si no solo tú.
I listen to this song everyday, and i love it because its so personal , i want her solo album , it will be amazing
I went and saw her live during the RESET Movement tour the other night, and let me tell you it was a nice I will never forget. The concert itself was amazing, but afterwards I met Lacey herself! Met her husband Josh briefly when buying merch he let me have the poster for free which was super sweet. Then I met Lacey little after that, I talked to her for awhile about my life and my experiences with God. We connected so well, she got chills hearing my story and even prayed for me then and there.
She speaks to how all born again Christian’s feel when they finally give their lives to Christ. So thankful for salvation 🙏🏽
Merry Christmas Everyone! Praise Jesus!
Lacey Strum is still as awesome as a solar singer as she was as the lead singer of Flyleaf!!!!!!!!!!
Ran across this song a week ago. I had never heard it before and I've been a fan of Lacey since the first time I heard Flyleaf. Probably the most powerful song I've ever heard. It relates to me on so many levels. Thank you Lacey!!
this songs amazing I've never heard it before I just love you Lacey strum you have an amazing voice and your such an inspiration to us who struggle with the light and dark. you show the truth in life. thank you Jesus for Lacey to inspire so many people in this world. I'm so grateful for your music.
I'm not a religious person, but this song makes me think that religion is in no way a bad thing if people use it for faith, and hope
I really hope she keeps singing. Her voice is too beautiful. I know she left Flyleaf, but that doesn't mean she can't sing anymore T_T lol ! ! !
I am not religious because of many reasons, but I am awake and this is a beautiful song. The light isn't a religion its the universe, its energy, its everything
I always knew she was capable of this, but WOW, this song is so powerful.
Its a daily walk and i give him first place in my life. I will fail, I may not pray as much as some but he loves me no matter what. I am learning, growing and walking with him hand and hand. To him I give all the praise and glory from the first day I recieved him as my personal savior into eternity. Foerver.
I love Lacey Sturm so much it's unbearable and her singing is the beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life
Thank u for never giving up on me... when I looked to everything else n lived so selfishly... you bled u died to b with me why would u do something like for someone like me!!! But now I finally see the reason...

I don't know why but this bring tears to my eyes but I know its for a good reason :)
One of my best friends showed me this song early October and it wasn’t until November 10 when I finally listened to this song while driving and put it on repeat. The third time the song came on, I cried. There are times when I have this song on repeat for hours or even days
i cried listening to this.

Cry myself to sleep with this song :'(
that is one powerful song that the rest of the world needs to hear immediately
The Reason
Lacey Mosley
All my life, I've searched for something
To satisfy the longing in my heart
And every time I come away
Emptier than before
And now I finally see the reason
'Cause I was made to be yours alone
You formed my heart with your own hands
But I just could not understand
If I gave you my life
I'd be healed by your Grace
I was made for Your love
And gave others Your place
I spent my days giving my heart away to anything new
Only to ache from the poison of my temporary muse
And there were times I'd cry myself to sleep at night
Only to wake up wishing that I didn't
And now I finally see the reason
'Cause I was made to be yours alone
You formed my heart with your own hands
But I just could not understand
If I gave you my life
I'd be healed by your Grace
I was made for Your love
And gave others Your place
Thank you for never giving up on me
When I looked to everything else and lived so selfishly
You bled, you died to be with me
Why would you do something like that for someone like me?
And now I finally see the reason
'Cause I was made to be yours alone
You formed my heart with your own hands
And now I finally understand
And I give you my life
And I'm healed by your Grace
I was made for your love that no one can replace
This is it
I won't miss everything I am made for
To be yours
All yours
Peaceful loving and spirit filled with love and passion and a purpose!
this song is so powerful and beautiful that no words can explain the emotions I get after hearing it. lacey your story is truly amazing and your have inspired so many people just by simply reading it. It takes an extraordinary person to pull that off :).
This song sums up how I felt before I became saved and a follower of jesus christ..... he is truely my lord and savior and belong to him alone
