This is an anthem for God's beloved children who are brokenhearted over broken homes. Jesus Christ is our Living Hope; He restores and makes all things new. Hallelujah
I love this so much. I’ve been raised in a Christian household but by my grandparents. My dad was barely present in my early childhood and is now absent but trying to come back. I always worry about my future and how I’ll be able to be a parent when I didn’t have mine. Thank the Lord that our tomorrows don’t depend on our yesterdays!
Break those curses. The evil one wants us to repeat the pattern. He tries to convince us we aren’t worthy & sldnt expect things to be different. But he IS A LIAR!! ❤️🩹
There has never been a song that more perfectly, word for word, explains the pain and confusion I felt as a kid. I was living out of a suitcase as I spent week after week, year after year, bouncing between my parent’s houses. I always felt like I did something. I developed overeating and gained weight because of my depression. I made a promise to my wife and myself that I would break that generational curse and NEVER put my kids through that. I live by Phil 4:13 now. “I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength”. Thank you, Austin, for this song. I’m in the middle of 21 Days of Prayer and I just came across this and I feel God sent me thins song to cure me of my past and open my eyes for the future. God is good, all the time!
This song brought tears to my eyes. My father was not a good man. I was physically, sexually, and mentally abused by him from 16 to 23. Now, suffer from Crohn's. I'm glad I have a wonderful Heavenly Father.
Remember you are a Child of the Father in Heaven, it is written your name is in paradise, it is written Our Father in Heaven will heal his children of all of there diseases. Jesus knows.
Yes go Austin French great song. Broken Home is a very inspirational uplifting spiritual encouraging worshipping song. I love it listening on Thurs 6-20-2024. You Tube Music brought me here.
Songs like this, & this 1, help us to grieve healthily by prayer to our caring heavenly Father. A Christian psychologist said it is harmful to our soul/pyche to not grieve over our losses in life. & certainly that would be true over the heartbreak/s we have suffered from "broken" childhoods. We need to allow ourselves to grieve; but inviting God to share our grief with us, & looking to him for healing, is the healthiest (=healingest) way.
This is a great stepping stone to the story of Gods love, grace and forgiveness. It's such an indescribeable sense of euphoria when you truly give God EVERYTHING and you can just be wrapped in His overwhelming peace. I tell my boys all the time, I promise I will fail them from time to time. That just creates the chance for me to point them to the perfect example of our heavenly Father. I thank God for how He turned my life around, so my boys wont have to live this song out.
This is exactly what I'm going through and feeling 😢 except my mom caused the broken home, and I'm hurting, angry, and scared. Thank you Austin for this song it came right on time and is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm sure many other people listening feel the same. This gives my broken heart hope 💔
Wow! I just heard this song for the first time this morning, and it stopped me in my tracks. It touched my heart and felt like a big hug, compelling me to post a comment about a song/video for the very first time. This anthem resonates with so many people around the world. ❤No one ever wants to leave a legacy of divorce for their family, and hopefully, this song will bring healing and reconciliation to millions. It speaks volumes. Thank you! The world needs more love, healing and Jesus! ❤🩹🙏
This is an amazing song! It was exactly how I felt when I grew up. After all the bad things happened (domestic violance, my father had an affair,etc), I find its a blessing I met Jesus when I was a kid. I am 32 now. There are some pains healed, some lingers. Yet the love of God helps me to be different, I am not bound by the mistakes of my parents. Thank you Mr French. Its always uplifing to hear your song, keep up the good work. God bless you and your family~
Tears are streaming! I was from a broken home .. 7 different times. My parents were married 4 times each. And I had siblings scattered all over. And then I grew up and tolerated so much crap to hang onto a marriage so that my kids didn’t go through what I did- a broken home! But after 7 years I couldn’t take it anymore and my boys deserved better, I deserved better. I found Jesus and He rescued my story and saved me from my myself. I then met the most amazing man that raised my boys like they were his own. That was over 27 years ago now. We’ve been married now 25 years and have a daughter together. But I still struggle even after my mom has passed away. And my boys haven’t spoken to their biological father in over 4 years. It’s an extremely difficult road to walk and only Jesus got us through it with lots of prayer and therapy!! So if you’re going through this journey hold on tight to Jesus and fight for peace, love and forgiveness in your heart. Don’t let bitterness get in because that’s what will take you down a path that you can’t recover from! ❤
@Austin French, you and I share the same story, I've seen my mom cry when I was small, get frustrated because my father did something bad bad. It was hard for both of us, but because of my grandparents and the grace of God and His hand on us, today I've grown more into Jesus more than ever, I never knew love of a father, but after knowing Christ, I know the love of a father far more than I could've ever imagined, I Love my heavenly father so much and He loves me more. And nothing can change that, Amen! Praise Be To God! ❤❤❤❤✝
I went to one of his concerts in March and he played this song and it felt really relatable. This song has me in tears! Thank you so much for this song Austin French!!!!❤❤
Thanks Austin,I seen you at Hyland Heights Baptist church June the 8th,with Big Daddy weave and Hannah Kerr,that was the first time i heard this song was praying you would put it out there,this is a Beautiful song that will speak and heal hearts through Jesus our Lord.Now im waiting for Big Daddy weave to put Jay Bird's song out,the whole concert was lifting our saviour up and his promises and his Greatness,all Glory to God.🎶🙏✝️
Austin, thank you for releasing this song! I can’t even begin to express what this song means to me and to so many others as children of divorced parents. I have often felt like a “deck of cards shuffled round” as mentioned in your song, but I love how you mention that “all of your tomorrows don’t depend on your yesterdays.” God’s mercies are new every morning! I don’t have to let the past stop me from experiencing God’s grace for today and the plans He has for me for the future. I appreciate you sharing your testimony with us! God bless you!
Thank you so much for releasing this song! We just recently saw you in Liberty, MO at PV Baptist Church. Your testimony and song are inspiring. We all have a story. Thank you for your openness! I can't wait to see how God uses this! Stay Blessed, Austin!
Wow. I saw the title and knew I had to listen. Though I knew it would be tough to. You sing the reality, the pain, and yet, the hope. ❤ Beautiful. May God bless you, sir. Well done in all you have overcome.
We heard Austin play this song at a concert last week. It so touched my granddaughter-she was hiccup sobbing. She is now seeking God. Thank you for sharing your testimony!
Thank you for releasing this, Austin. My mom saw you in Fayetteville a couple weeks back and came home and said I needed to hear this song. I’m walking through divorce, myself, right now after experiencing betrayal and broken promises. Every single time I have to pack up my two babies and send them across town to stay with their dad, like I just did three hours ago, my heart shatters into a million pieces. It’s an endless pain, and a situation that I never expected me or my precious and innocent children to be in. My greatest fear is that they will be affected by this, something they didn’t ask for, forever. But surely- “All the hell they’ve seen, all of Heaven will redeem.” That’s the only thing that keeps me going. Thank you for sharing your heart and pointing us all back to the hope of the redeeming cross.
God's ways of redeeming heartcrushing tragedies of our past (or present) can be very painful. Look at the life of Joseph, Moses, David, Paul, etc. We all suffer our share in this world. But if we stick with the Friend who sticks closer than a brother, God has his ways of working out the injustice & all the pain to do something amazingly GOOD. SEE Romans 8, espec. 28 thru end chapter. Genesis 45 & 50:19-21. It would do us all good to read this entire story about Joseph's calamities & God's redemption of them. + Lamentations 3:18-26. As Max McLean always says: "Read the Bible, it is good for the soul.".
I heard this for the first time tonight & it was in person. He opened for Big Daddy Weave. Lots of tears shed with this song, including my own knowing my kids suffer from being from a broken home😢
I saw you at a concert with big daddy weave and this song sent me to tears and it was my first time seeing u/ hearing u at all and now you're one of my favorites so with that I think you ❤
Thank you for writing this Austin.💞 This is my story, as well. I know I made a lot of poor choices when I was a teen and into my 20's (I'm 56 now), not realizing it was due to having abandonment issues. Though, I do take full ownership of those choices. I'm thankful the Lord has forgiven and healed me from the hurt and my relationship with my father, but I am very aware that I don't have the type of father/daughter relationship that some have, who had their father with them in the growing years. I know my father tried, but I'm sure he was broken to. This song really hits home.🙏
Listened to this for the first time at Winkler Harvest Festival...had a front row seat. Thanks for getting so real with this song. It's so bittersweet, yet so full of hope. God will use this song to help someone else. ❤
I never planned for my son to know what it's like to live between two house holds. I always wanted him to know what its like to live in a household where he is loved and his daddy never leaves. I thought I could create for him. I thought I could make him stay. And I prayed and I prayed for him to stay. But people turning from me and confusion gripping me led me to a man who loves me and treats me like Christ and gives me hope every day, that even though I don't understand, I am loved. A lot of people I thought would be there have hurt me to a degree that I also don't understand. But it's led me to lean on Christ the way I should have from the beginning, and for that I am grateful. I'm sorry it took this, but I'm happy God came through even when I didn't think He would. I thought because of this past that I had to have a broken future, that I was forever stuck in this mindset, in this broken state. I don't know how I got there but I have no one to blame but the devil. Thank you Lord for delivering me and setting me free!!! Thank you that that is not my future and you have better for all of your children!!!! Halleluyah!!!!! Amen and Amen!!!!! Praise God!!!!!!
I was at austin's concert tonight in beatrice nebraska. He did fantastic and everyone did great too. When he told his story and song this I cried. It is such a great song. This song reminds me of my home life. I hope you have a great and blessed day.
My dad is a physical and mental abuser. I've told the police, I've told trusted adults, but they don't seem to believe me. I was talking to a youtube friend just now about it when your song suddenly appeared on my TH-cam app. Wow, was it not a message from God. I am in tears right now. I've never heard of you before, but just because of this song, I'm going to make sure I listen to your music. Thank you so much for this message of hope!! 🥹🥹🥹
Strength, my brother. It must be very difficult: difficult to love your father, difficult to forgive. He also needs God, Christ, like all of us. I know it is very difficult to live in such an environment, but no matter how difficult it is, do not feel anger or hatred towards it. Since Christ forgave us, I will pray for you, my brother. Cheer up and continue trusting in God, and that everything will be resolved. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me.
Man this song breaks my heart. I grew up in a really good situation. Not perfect but good. But knowing this song related to so many people hurts my heart. May God heal all of you.
Thank you for your sentiment. i hope that is your prayer for us all & not only a wish into the wind. We can all benefit from petitions to Him for the great help/healing we need. As you said, there are manyof us. The USA has been producing lots & lots of brokenhearted sons & daughters for a long long time.
Thank you for writing what so many of us have difficulty talking about. All my siblings are in our thirties and we’re just now talking about the childhood challenges we faced. My brothers have the most difficult time expressing. I appreciate this.
I pray to our Father for y'all. I feel for you, having known that experience (with my siblings). Our hostile devilish parents did us no good, spiritually. Only God heals broken hearts & lives. & He usually doesn't work in a hurry. We will usually be experiencing ill effects from the maltreatment for the remainder of our lives. i & my siblings have. But God is beneficient, and He is love. & when we keep going to Him, & put forth the effort to honor & obey, He goes on helping us throughout life. We can count on him ! see Psalm 27, + 42-43, & 62. + Psalm 118.
Ty so much Mr French. My mom and dad divorced when I was younger and I never understood it. I was just in tears this entire song. I still have my places that I ask why did that have to happen to me. And why didn’t I get to have kids like everyone else even to those who shouldn’t deserve to get to have kids. I still ask God why? Still haven’t gotten an answer yet. Don’t know if I ever will ❤ty
Finally the full version. Such a huge fan. My boyfriend and I recently met you in Fayetteville N.C. with Big Daddy Weave. You’re amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing. Can not wait until the next concert!!!!
Since June, I have been dealing with my parents divorcing, my dad having broken his vows. I'm 17, and don't technically have to live in my broken home for long, only a year and I can move away and have a fresh start, but my siblings don't have that luxury, and I hate all of this for them. It's been the saddest time of my life, and I've been sustained only by prayer and my intense desire to be a better husband and father than my dad has shown himself to be. This song is so heartbreakingly real for me, and I'm glad my uncle found it for me, thank you
It is good that you have vowed to yourself to not be an unfaithful husband, as your father was: But always REMEMBER that it is God, our intimate relation to Him, & the strength we get from his word, that enables us to keep such vows. Ask Austin, & see if he agrees that is true : unless you already are convinced. That knowledge is the reason that men in older history, had a habit of saying, "God help me, i will do or not do such & so.. Or, with God's help, +.
I was at your show in #Minnesota last night and you three bands are the powerful #Trifecta of Christian music - you are a powerful force! You all are VERY inspiring and talented!!! ❤🙏
Damn youtube reading my life and recommend me this song. Squeezing tears out of me in middle of the night. My dad left our family for another woman when i was 5. Just turned 26 yesterday and broken home stuff still affected me. I suffer from depression and bpd because of it. Traumatized, i never been in relationship. And peoples just said "get over it and move on" as if coming from broken home doesn't affect you for life 😢 The lyric hits home.
We all have choices and decisions to make. You are better than the decisions your Dad made. You will do better, so please dont let that hold you back from living. People can be blunt and incapable of empathizing...I hope you can make peace with your past so you can see the bright future that God wants to show you.
Thank you Austin French so much for releasing this! My husband and I went to a big daddy weave in Jonesboro AR! You came on stage and told your testimony then sang this song! The whole time I was in TEARS! As soon as it was over I was the very first person to Stand up and clap! This song was the first song that EVER related to my life! We don't have the same exact story but I felt every single word in this song! My husband told me you released this today and I've been listening to it ALL day long! Thank you for having the courage to put this out and giving us the opportunity to listen and share this song🤍🫶🏻
68 yrs old and this made me cry. We kids just never heal. Take the heartbreak of a sensitive child, add an alcoholic stepfather and a narcissistic stepmother, mom n dad so infatuated with their new mate that they believe any lie told about you....abuse without a support system...one very messed up girl. Never believed for one minute that 'love' wasn't a word people just tossed around like 'Hello'. My little brother was 9 when mom n dad divorced. When he was 32 he told me he was still hoping mom n dad would get back together. I cried for him. People don't know what they do to their kids. It's so sad. This is why it is said that the greatest gift parents can give their children is to love each other. Speak lovingly, kindly to your spouse so your kids know mom n dad are in love. In that is a child's greatest security.
That was well communed, & thank you for sharing. I am going to pray for God to help you & your bro. & pray for salvation for you 2 & your parents. God IS good & He helps those who seek Him. ★Lamentations 3:21‐18-26. (These verses can help even if we didn't cause our troubled life, as the people of Israel caused theirs.) Psalm 73:23-28=end chapter.
My parents got divorced when I was 10 my dad would mentally abuse me and this song brought me to tears when I first heard it it reminded me of not only my dads abuse but my brothers abuse also thank you for this song it definitely gives hope to those who suffer from brokenness and broken homes definitely telling them that thier is a heveanly father that cares about you and that you are his kid
This is an anthem for God's beloved children who are brokenhearted over broken homes.
Jesus Christ is our Living Hope; He restores and makes all things new.
Hallelujah
This feels like a love letter to everyone who have suffered a broken home
This song really inspired me alot... Thank you..❤Praise Jesus
I love this so much. I’ve been raised in a Christian household but by my grandparents. My dad was barely present in my early childhood and is now absent but trying to come back.

I was at austin's concert tonight in beatrice nebraska. He did fantastic and everyone did great too. When he told his story and song this I cried. It is such a great song. This song reminds me of my home life. I hope you have a great and blessed day.
I’m balling! I know this is from God 😭😭
My dad is a physical and mental abuser. I've told the police, I've told trusted adults, but they don't seem to believe me. I was talking to a youtube friend just now about it when your song suddenly appeared on my TH-cam app. Wow, was it not a message from God. I am in tears right now. I've never heard of you before, but just because of this song, I'm going to make sure I listen to your music. Thank you so much for this message of hope!! 🥹🥹🥹
Strength, my brother. It must be very difficult: difficult to love your father, difficult to forgive. He also needs God, Christ, like all of us. I know it is very difficult to live in such an environment, but no matter how difficult it is, do not feel anger or hatred towards it. Since Christ forgave us, I will pray for you, my brother. Cheer up and continue trusting in God, and that everything will be resolved. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to write to me.
Man this song breaks my heart. I grew up in a really good situation. Not perfect but good. But knowing this song related to so many people hurts my heart. May God heal all of you.
Thank you for your sentiment. i hope that is your prayer for us all & not only a wish into the wind. We can all benefit from petitions to Him for the great help/healing we need. As you said, there are manyof us. The USA has been producing lots & lots of brokenhearted sons & daughters for a long long time.
Thank you for writing what so many of us have difficulty talking about. All my siblings are in our thirties and we’re just now talking about the childhood challenges we faced. My brothers have the most difficult time expressing. I appreciate this.
I pray to our Father for y'all. I feel for you, having known that experience (with my siblings). Our hostile devilish parents did us no good, spiritually. Only God heals broken hearts & lives. & He usually doesn't work in a hurry. We will usually be experiencing ill effects from the maltreatment for the remainder of our lives. i & my siblings have. But God is beneficient, and He is love. & when we keep going to Him, & put forth the effort to honor & obey, He goes on helping us throughout life. We can count on him ! see Psalm 27, + 42-43, & 62. + Psalm 118.
wow....A very profound and relevant song of hope for today's and yesterdays kids. Well Done Austin!!
God is my Father. Call no man on earth they Father. For thou hast one Father. He is in Heaven.
Amen Austin
Ty so much Mr French. My mom and dad divorced when I was younger and I never understood it. I was just in tears this entire song. I still have my places that I ask why did that have to happen to me. And why didn’t I get to have kids like everyone else even to those who shouldn’t deserve to get to have kids. I still ask God why? Still haven’t gotten an answer yet. Don’t know if I ever will ❤ty
WOW! You were on The Message last night, and I was captivated by your voice, words, and music! GOD Bless you, keep singing!
I attended a concert today in Eagle River , WI (Praise in the Pines) and I was really blessed by this song. God bless you man.
Finally the full version. Such a huge fan. My boyfriend and I recently met you in Fayetteville N.C. with Big Daddy Weave. You’re amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing. Can not wait until the next concert!!!!
Shout out to Fayetteville, NC, Jesus Saves🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
If your reading this…it’s gonna be ok,you will get through this by the strength of God,it wasn’t your fault,you are loved you are seen you are heard…❤
Changeable and effective song for young age
This. ❤
AMEN GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!
I too come from a broken home. God saved me from it. Amen.
Since June, I have been dealing with my parents divorcing, my dad having broken his vows.
I'm 17, and don't technically have to live in my broken home for long, only a year and I can move away and have a fresh start, but my siblings don't have that luxury, and I hate all of this for them.
It's been the saddest time of my life, and I've been sustained only by prayer and my intense desire to be a better husband and father than my dad has shown himself to be.
This song is so heartbreakingly real for me, and I'm glad my uncle found it for me, thank you
It is good that you have vowed to yourself to not be an unfaithful husband, as your father was: But always REMEMBER that it is God, our intimate relation to Him, & the strength we get from his word, that enables us to keep such vows. Ask Austin, & see if he agrees that is true : unless you already are convinced. That knowledge is the reason that men in older history, had a habit of saying, "God help me, i will do or not do such & so.. Or, with God's help, +.
Thank you🥹❤
I was at your show in #Minnesota last night and you three bands are the powerful #Trifecta of Christian music - you are a powerful force! You all are VERY inspiring and talented!!! ❤🙏
When you sang this song at the Crowder concert in Camdenton, Mo at the Ozark Amphitheater it brought tears to my eyes bc my son relates to this song.
I’m at the concert right now and there’s nothing I would do to miss this not nothing in this world
Foster mom here. Love the chorus of this for them
Great song!!! ❤
Beautiful❤
Great song.
Damn youtube reading my life and recommend me this song. Squeezing tears out of me in middle of the night. My dad left our family for another woman when i was 5. Just turned 26 yesterday and broken home stuff still affected me. I suffer from depression and bpd because of it. Traumatized, i never been in relationship. And peoples just said "get over it and move on" as if coming from broken home doesn't affect you for life 😢
The lyric hits home.
We all have choices and decisions to make. You are better than the decisions your Dad made. You will do better, so please dont let that hold you back from living.
People can be blunt and incapable of empathizing...I hope you can make peace with your past so you can see the bright future that God wants to show you.
Hard to listen with a dry eye! Thank you for this song, Austin 🙏
Amazing 🙏
Jesus keeps His Promises, and knows your 💔 heart.... Let Him Hold you❣️❣️❣️🕊️🕊️🕊️❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Austin French so much for releasing this! My husband and I went to a big daddy weave in Jonesboro AR! You came on stage and told your testimony then sang this song! The whole time I was in TEARS! As soon as it was over I was the very first person to Stand up and clap! This song was the first song that EVER related to my life! We don't have the same exact story but I felt every single word in this song! My husband told me you released this today and I've been listening to it ALL day long! Thank you for having the courage to put this out and giving us the opportunity to listen and share this song🤍🫶🏻
I heard this first at BDW when they came to Charlotte and I don’t think there was a dry eye in the building
@@Randall_beatley My heart really felt GODS presence when he sang this song!
J'aime beaucoup !
Absolutely beautiful 💛 Thank you for releasing this.
❤❤❤
Welcome to my fatherless story, Austin. My new favorite anthem!
Wow what an amazing song!
I love you Austin
Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah. Alleluia. Sorry of I spelled anything wrong.
Wow, this is an awesome song ❤
I have always liked he’s music at ten moment I am from a broken home I have a broken heart my mother has passed and music is helping me
No man can say that Jesus is Lord but by the Holy Ghost.
WOW
68 yrs old and this made me cry. We kids just never heal. Take the heartbreak of a sensitive child, add an alcoholic stepfather and a narcissistic stepmother, mom n dad so infatuated with their new mate that they believe any lie told about you....abuse without a support system...one very messed up girl. Never believed for one minute that 'love' wasn't a word people just tossed around like 'Hello'. My little brother was 9 when mom n dad divorced. When he was 32 he told me he was still hoping mom n dad would get back together. I cried for him. People don't know what they do to their kids. It's so sad. This is why it is said that the greatest gift parents can give their children is to love each other. Speak lovingly, kindly to your spouse so your kids know mom n dad are in love. In that is a child's greatest security.
That was well communed, & thank you for sharing. I am going to pray for God to help you & your bro. & pray for salvation for you 2 & your parents. God IS good & He helps those who seek Him. ★Lamentations 3:21‐18-26. (These verses can help even if we didn't cause our troubled life, as the people of Israel caused theirs.) Psalm 73:23-28=end chapter.
yes we don't have to have a broken future just bcuz we are from a broken home~
I wish people would greet each other with Jesus is Lord. So we know who we are dealing with.
My parents got divorced when I was 10 my dad would mentally abuse me and this song brought me to tears when I first heard it it reminded me of not only my dads abuse but my brothers abuse also thank you for this song it definitely gives hope to those who suffer from brokenness and broken homes definitely telling them that thier is a heveanly father that cares about you and that you are his kid
What a wonderful message... Broken home, your tomorrow don't depend on yesterday 😢❤
If the Lord wills.
uhhhh 🥺🥺❤️
Essa música me tocou profundamente.
Just saw him last night
Who cut onions
Recieve Jesus as it's what your Father said. Like a little kid. Oh what's that daddy. Oh that a bird. Ok. Hey daddy look that's a bird.
why am i crying🥲
