‘My Life’ Branan Murphy

In the world today, many people are hurting and struggling with a variety of things. Due to a past sin or mistake, some may believe they are beyond saving, unworthy of being cared for or loved. Thankfully, there is One who can turn situations and entire lives around! 

Branan Murphy’s song “My Life” is about God's redeeming power and grace. The song’s first verse mentions and acknowledges people who, for whatever reason, believe they are beyond saving. The singer states that given his life, he knows he was “an unlikely candidate” and “never deserved such grace.”

God can and does come into our lives, change us and mend broken relationships! He can completely change bleak and depressing situations that are seemingly without hope. 

The song also mentions words do fall short of telling others of the work God has done or is doing. The best way to understand a change is to view it yourself. That is exactly what the songwriter does for anyone who questions what may have happened to him. He tells people to look at his life in order to see the changes God has made. 

“I could tell you a thousand times
But if you really wanna see redemption
Take a look at my life”

Later in the song, the singer states God’s love and grace are available to all, even those who feel that “God’s love could never find” them. The singer again uses himself as an example. Don’t believe that God can save or love you? Well, take a look at the changes in his life, the lyrics state. 

No one is perfect. Romans 3:23 reads, “for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” Despite our sins and shame, God is still working today, changing lives!

Ephesians 1:7 “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”
