“I use to wake up some days and wished I’d stayed asleep, cause I went to bed on top of the world, now today the world on top of Me, everybody’s got opinions, they ain’t been in my position” Felt that with everything in me
My favorite part of the whole song is at beginning when he sings, “Took me a while, but I am finally here”....when you been through too much to look back, and can tell yourself you have finally arrived to where you are now. Not everybody can relate, but I do.
Every time i listen to this song i get all teary eyed. It makes you realize that the Lord loves you no matter who you are or what sins you have committed. This song makes me look deep inside.
This was my sister's fav song! She didn't like gospel songs! She said they made her head hurt. 🤣 I think it was the songs that I used to bellow thru out the house. Those old school gospel hymns! Those sad songs. But this song always made the tears flow from her eyes. She passed away due to covid and now I'm really listening to the lyrics! Marilyn you were beyond good enough! And yes!! He still loves you! I miss you so much Sis!!❤
Man this song is still so valid today. Still listening in 2020. I think everybody can relate at one point in life. And the all star choir just adds to it.
Rest in peace to my Grandmother Esther who I watched this movie with every day in the early 2000s , had the sound track and everything . I come to listen when my soul is so low like now. And somehow I cry it out . Life has soooooooo many battles and I wish you all peace cause this hurt hurts

This song, sung by Beyonce and this very talented group, hits the depths of my soul and no matter how many times I play it I'll never tire of it...it's like food for my soul...Amen!!!
Yes indeed. Its always the same feeling hitting again back again. Its crazy sometimes when you ask yourself how its possible. But above all,the one who write the lyrics ,hats off and mindblowing. Just simple words,but describe lots of things..
Thank you God for another beautiful day no matter the challenges and circumstances it’s still a beautiful sunrise till it’s sunset thank for the opportunity of seeing it and thank you for everyone who shares the opportunity to see it with me and those yet to see it…keep everyone safe and keep blessing everyone and thank you again….Amen!
I watched this movie 15 years ago but I loved the song till today. The movie is called fighting temptation, remember the times of series like diaries of black women, separate house wives. Those of you who were at campus like me big up👍
I remember the very first time I watched this movie, I had tears coming down my eyes on this scene. And still does to this very day! This song is just amazing and lifts up my spirit. Beautiful song
Not a very religious person but I love gospel music and this movie and I’m very thankful for this song/soundtrack because whenever I’m depressed or anxious or just wanting to listen to music this song will come on I feel something spiritual inside. I will end up hands in the air, dancing from side to side singing the words. It chokes me up everytime because I’ve maid a lot of mistakes in my life and I’ve always held them over my head and told myself I wasn’t good enough and it gets in the way of being better but knowing someone out there loves me regardless of what I do renews my faith and helps me with my daily struggles like depression and anxiety. I am beyond blessed and it’s hard for me to see that but when this comes on I am reminded.
When I first heard this song from this movie, I cried like a baby cos I was nothing to this world & had nothing on my name & I had no hope. Today I when I hear it, I cry more cos I have a family, a house and everything I never dreamt that I thought I would have. God lives and is watching over us and busy blessing us.
This song gives me chills. No matter how much we fall or how many mistakes we make God still loves us!! We don't have to be perfect for him to love us. There's absolutely nothing that can separate us from the love of God Romans8:38-39!! God is Love and his love for us surpasses all understanding❤❤❤.
My mom bought this movie right after it came out and we watched it when I was a kid. The soundtrack got us through so many hard times. This movie taught me that no one is perfect, but we all deserve the Lord’s love.
I feel like this song was divinely inspired/written/ directed. I used to fall asleep listening to it when I was around 12 years old. I heard it today and teared up. Instant comfort love and forgiveness flooded me.
Love this song, so much meaning behind it.. regardless of what we went through and who we are God is Love. He still love us. He is the same YESTERDAY, TODAY & FOREVER.. Amen God bless to all 💜🙏🏽💜
One of my favorite movies can't believe this movie will be celebrating 20 years next year ..... Rest in Paradise Ms.Rue McClellan, Mr. Lou Myers and Mr.Mickey Jones ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Man this song always breaks me down because it touches my soul in a way that,no other song can " shund by the world...but he still lives me" I know im not worthy but the Lord still loves me...in tears
FROM THE FIRST NOTE, THIS SONG BREAKS ME WIDE OPEN WITH PRAISE!!!! I pray someone, RIGHT NOW, receives the anointing of God and realizes that NO MATTER WHAT, GOD IS REAL AND LOVES YOU AND IS LIFTING YOU RIGHT NOW!!!!!
Brooo the beginning’s words always made me cry. “See I’ve been picked out to be picked on, talked about out my friends mouth, Ive been beat down, until he turned my llfe around.” 😢❤
I listened to this song again and goose pimples still came out of my skin and tears rolled down my eyes. Meehhnn this song is soo spiritual and lifts up one's soul.
Im 28 years old i haven't heard this song since i was a kid i was in the car crying this morning listening to this man I've made mistakes growing up i wish i could tine travel to fiz it but its just apart of life and every time i was down i thought the world just gave up on me and God always cones through when im at my lowest and each amd every day im striving to reach my goal to be a movie director i really needed to hear this song after so long it opened me up
