Top Comments of this video!! :3
This song brought me to my knees in the county jail, i gave my life back to Jesus...
But wait...
I wasn't done living in my FREE WILL for a little while longer...
Then it happened....
Jesus left the 99 and found me...
I've walked with the Lord Everyday since may 18th 2015....
I'll NEVER forget it....
Thanks be to THE LORD THAT SAVES!!!! JESUS JESUS JESUS...

nnamdi nnorom Thanks for your comment. It seems like you have a misunderstanding of the lyrics. If anything we're asking God to "ruin" our distorted perceptions of who we think he is based on what society tells us. Some believe that life will be an easy road when we turn to Christ but it is NOT easy. Make me broken, make me empty, make me lonely are simply prayers to God to remove all that we "think" is important and replace it with HIM. Think of Jonah in a the belly of the whale or Job...they did not have the easiest of times on Earth but God brought them out of their experiences in to a new understanding of who He is.
Another thought on your comments because it is important to note. When we write songs we write them from the human perspective/experience. We are writing 100 percent from an open/vulnerable place in our lives. We believe that God is honored when we are real and honest and that is why we love creativity and art because it is a way for us to express of emotions (good, bad, ugly). Thank goodness for this! We love you as a brother and appreciate your comment but disagree with your statements. Blessings!

I am Catholic myself and I absolutely adore this song. Not even during mass or service, I sit in the church with my guitar and lift up this song to God. He truly has helped me morph me into what I am today. I am still broken, but that's ok...who isn't? Nobody is perfect, we are unique works of art.
This song is very easy to play and really speaks such volumes. :)

As a child of God, an artist and one who is not yet fully sanctified, this song and video alike is a wonderful adaptation of what our souls long for…. to be made more like HIM! Through the struggles He uses, through the pain He allows, everyday we are made new. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Thanks for the beautiful words!! Rosie

Wow! I'd heard the song before on the radio and really liked it. However, combined with this incredible animation it was something else. This has to be one of the best and most powerful music videos I've ever seen. Lord, may we be the blank canvases and may we let you paint your picture on our lives!

For the past few years I have been broken and this past week I was broken to my very core. I felt empty with nothing to grasp and felt alone and forsaken. I heard this song last week, on the Christian Radio where I live and some of the words stayed in my mind; Broken, Empty and Lonely. Then on Friday I spent the day with a very dear friend of 36 years and we talked and I shared with her what I have been through. I kept telling her "I'm so broken and I don't understand why I'm going through this and when will I be delivered." She told me, yes you are broken, and God has a purpose for you. On the way back home the song came was played two times and I listened to it. When I arrived home I looked it up with the lyrics. God's way is so perfect. This song depicts me. I'm have been broken to my very core, so that I can be completely healed. I am empty so that He can fill me with His power and Spirit. I have been lonely so that I realize that HE is my ONLY true love. I fell to my knees and cried to God, thanking Him for my brokenness and for ALWAYS being there for me, even though at times I felt forsaken. Thank you Sidewalk Prophets for letting God inspire you with this song. God Bless you.

The first time I heard this song I was in the parking lot of my dr.'s office waiting to hear those word,"you have cancer". This song became my story for the next six months as my body was broken down with cancer, but built back up my the HOLY SPIRIT. I gave my healing body and spirit over to the glory of GOD. I have a relationship with HIM that I'd longed for for 40 years. I only had to ask and received his blessings and I used it all for HIS GLORY. God is good all the time.
