My old pastor loved this song…it brings back so many memories! Almost makes me cry because my old pastor went home to be with the Lord a couple years ago!

I really relate to this song. I wasn't an alcoholic but I was addicted to pain pills. I started out doing cocaine at 14-16 and stopped and then I started having panic attacks from the withdrawals and was put on nerve medication and got hooked on that for a few years, stopped those hurt my back at work nothing major just pulled my lumbar muscle and was given pain medicine and loved the way they made my eyes blurry and made me feel so alive, worry and stress free and so energetic! Sadly for the next 10 years of my life I stayed hooked, lost my wife and youngest daughter and one day I met this Angel who became my lifesaver and I put this woman through hell with my addiction stealing, staying gone making her worry although I never cheated God knows and no matter what I did to her she always had faith that I would change and almost 9 months ago I woke up and stopped and I've been sober for almost 9 months and will always remain sober. Thank God the old man Is dead and thank you God our Lord and Savior for delivering me from hell!

Recently, I was In prison over the holidays..I had been on an alcohol field path of self destruction.. I cried out for help and my prayers were answered with a number and a sentence. I instantly became involved in Church. The week of Thanksgiving was hard for me and I was in Church when a sweet older man came in. He gave a testimony that was similar to mine, then sang this song without music... That man changed my life with that song, I'll never look back..

[DarthTwilight]

It never ceases to amaze me how amazingly kind, merciful, and full of grace The Lord Jesus is. To not only decide to spare us when time to destroy sin, but to take the physical torture bestowed by the Romans; To know the hearts of all mankind, the rejection of His chosen people, and to get in front of, and take onto Himself all of our failures, evils, pain, and regrets... THAT is love.

I am grateful to say that I am a born again Christian and have been since I was if you don’t know Christ as your savior then it burdens my soul to think that you are headed for a terrible place called Hell where the Bible says the fire is never quenched and the worm dies not! but if you do truly belong to Christ then praise God just like this song says the old man is Galatians 2:20  I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me! And 2nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come! The old has gone, the new is here! It is not me but the Holy Spirit that I pray reveals to you the truth of his precious 3:16 says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes on him will not perish but have everlasting life! V 17 says then V 18 says whoever believes on the son is not condemned but whoever does not believe on the son is condemned already because he has not believed on the son whom God has sent! Also Acts 16:30-31 what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house I am not threatening anyone but just warning them what will happen if they reject this precious gift of eternal life! Christ died a horrible criminals death! He was beaten brutally mocked spit upon and endured countless hours of torture pain for all of our sins! Ppl go to hell because they reject that pardon for their sins! And Jesus is saying to them in Matthew 25:41 depart from me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels! Hell was only prepared for Satan and his angels! It is not God who threatens anyone it is the craziness of rejecting the free pardon of salvation! It’s like if you’re in court you’ve committed a crime say you murdered someone! Now if you say to that Judge hey I know I’ve done a terrible thing of murdering that person but I hear you’re a good judge and so I know you’ll be fair to the judge is going to reply well yes you’re right about one thing I am a good judge and because I’m a good judge I’m going to see to it that you’re punished and that justice is served! Well then all of a sudden someone you don’t even know comes forward and says you know what I know he’s committed the crime he’s committed and he deserves to go to jail but I really don’t want to see him go to prison so I’ll just go to prison for him so he can go free! So if you accepted that offer you’d be free to leave the courtroom but if you didn’t well you’d be crazy and go to prison yourself! Well that’s exactly how it was 2, 000 years ago! He is God in human flesh and he came to this earth lived a perfect sinless life and even though he knew that we had sinned and because of our sins deserved to die miserably but he said no I don’t want to see them suffer so I will go and take their punishment for them! Even though he did absolutely nothing wrong still he chose to take the punishment for our sins so we can be set free from the power bondages and consequences of our disobedience to God! Romans 5:8 says For God commends his love toward us that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us! 1 John 2:2 says he was made to be the propitiation for our sins! And not just for our sins but the sins of the whole world! 2 Corinthians 5:21 He who knew no sin became Sin for us that we would be made his righteousness! The truth is if you had to get to Heaven by your own effort then you cannot do it! Because Romans 3:10 says there is not one that does good! No Not One! Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Romans 6:23 says For the wages of sin is death! But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord! But the good news is Romans 10:9 If we confess with our mouth and believes in our hearts that Christ died for our sins then was raised from the dead we will be saved! V 10 For it’s with the heart we believe and it’s with the mouth confession is made unto salvation! God gave us 10 commandments to follow and we’ve broken every one of them! And because God is a good God he cannot allow our disobedience to him to go unpunished! Well then like I just mentioned above his son Jesus stepped forward and said no I don’t want to see them punished so I will take their punishment for them! And also like I said he died a terrible substitute criminal’s death for us on a cross so now all we have to do is accept that payment for our sins and we can escape the terrible wrath of God that is to fall on them who do not accept this atonement that was sacrificed for our sins! Praise the lord Romans 10:13 says Whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved! And 1 Peter 1:4 you’re an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you! Christ clearly said in John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through me! Acts 4:12 clearly states that there is no other name given unto Heaven or earth by which we must be saved as there is salvation in no other! Jesus clearly states that there is clearly only one way to Salvation and it’s him that’s it! There is no other way! God Bless everyone who reads!

Praise Jesus the old man is dead! We all have a darkness in our past. That’s one of those things that drew me to you was the inside/ your soul.

A good friend who'd love for this to be real for him sang this song to us in church.  I sure wish he could come back and let this be his truth.  He's such a good guy but alcohol is just dragging him down.  I pray for you David.

[denalynn]

my 3 year old great nephew heard this song and immedatly told me that the 'old man' died on  the cross with Jesus.   I knew what the song meant and what Jesus dying on the cross meant but I never put the two together like he did

Oh and by the way she's still with me and she's been a real big help with my sobriety and It's like we're falling In love all over again. I can't express how wonderful It feels to wake up everyday and not need something to feel normal or good or laying In bed at night worrying where tomorrow's fix Is gonna come from. God Is so amazing! If there's anyone out there that reads my comments please believe me If I can get clean you can to. You've just gotta quit hanging around anyone supplying the drugs or negative people, delete their numbers from your phone and leave them alone. God Bless everyone!
