14 years later and this whole album still slaps (2024)

Anybody else grow up listening to this amazing song?

I had no idea this was a Christian song until I looked it up and saw the genre. What a beautiful message from a beautiful song with a beautiful voice 🙏 B-E-A-utiful!!! This should have WAY more views wow

I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour almost 3 years ago, but before I did, I discovered Christian music. It is uplifting and I quickly realized that Francesca Battistelli is my favorite Christian artist. Her voice, tonal range, clarity at pitch extremes are just amazing!! I can listen to her all day!! Glory to God, and He will change your life forever!!

This song still hits 12 years later ❤❤

Haven’t listened to this song in years, but heard it in a dream exactly when I needed it most. Brings me to tears.

I almost cried listening to this. This is one of the songs that would play all the time on the radio when I was younger and my life was perfect. Its hard to look back on those times when I was truly happy.

Only with Jesus am I free to be me.... PRAISE AND GLORY TO MY FATHER IN HEAVEN!!!

I remember being a little third grader thinking the lyrics were "dents in my fingers". Wow how time flies.

I’ve said it before and will keep saying it: Francesca is absolutely the best female CCM vocalist performing today. What a voice.

At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream A war's already waged for my destiny But You've already won the battle And You've got great plans for me Though I can't always see 'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy And on my own I'm so clumsy But on Your shoulders I can see I'm free to be me When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out See my life would turn out right And I'd make it here somehow But things don't always come that easy And sometimes I would doubt, oh 'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy And on my own I'm so clumsy But on Your shoulders I can see I'm free to be me and You're free to be You Sometimes I believe that I can do anything Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring But You look at my heart and You tell me That I've got all You seek, oh And it's easy to believe even though I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy And on my own I'm so clumsy But on Your shoulders I can see I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy And on my own I'm so clumsy But on Your shoulders I can see I'm free to be me and You're free to be You

I love being a Christan and this is why

I accepted jesus as my lord when I was young... But lately i've been serious about being a doer of the word and not a hearer only.

Perfection is beautiful; trying to be perfect without Christ is a mess.

I'm not Christian but this is such a BOP WTF

Francesca, as a Life Long Christian, Years Ago this Song made me Fall in Love With You, Today, it made me Fall in Love with God, THANK YOU, FRANCESCA!!! 😇

I absolutely love this song.

I was lowkey obsessed with this song in 2011 and now it’s come back to haunt me on TikTok.

Wow never thought I would be one of those “here from TikTok” but here we are.

I have done many things wrong but He died for us and our sins are gone! Praise the Lord we're free to be us!

Still listening in 2020 who else 🙋🏻‍♂️ Edit: 2021? Edit: 2022?? Edit: 2023??? Edit: 2024????

I'm free to be me!

If I could begin to tell you, how much heart is in this song! Like same heart sis, like just a kid on Jesus’s shoulders, and I’m clumsy and lose every got in 5 seconds, your God’s elect!

this has been my favorite gospel song ever since I was really little

When you repent and believe, Jesus takes the wheel, reminds you of innocence and it’s all you desire!

Whom the Son has set Free is Free indeed 🙌🙌🙌

We often noticed sometimes who we are doesn’t perfectly line up with the Bible, what do we do? Because we often find in the end all we can do is be ourselves anyways. Pray that who we are, is conformed and transformed into a closer image of Christ. #Amen #WhomHeSetsFree We have already passed from judgment, we aren’t being judged, we are being loved, we are being given Grace, God doesn’t have a magnifying glass 🔍 inspecting us. No we are His kids. #SavedAndFree

I was priviledged to volunteer with Compassion International tonight at one of your concerts. I am SOOOOO passionate about Comp. Int'l, my friends and family get tired of me talking about them. But I feel the Lord pressing me to serve in their work, and I vol with them in every capacity possible. Working tonight with Shaun Groves, and Praising God through your awesome music has super fired me up to pursue a calling in humanitarian ministries!! THANK YOU, Francesca and Team!!

I remember my granddaughter saying dents in my fender was a chance to make a fresh start. Bizarre. She was 6 at the time, but she knew.

The guy who's playing acoustic guitar for Francesca is a personal friend of mine . And this was filmed right here in Birmingham , AL !!

This song helped me through so many hard times in life and i want to say thank you francesca battistelli! You are my favorite singer in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! This song helped me through the hard times of middle school! Thanks again.

Listening to this in 2018 and still relate to this so much!!

I listen to that song several times every single day..oooh May God bless u Fransceca!Hosanna to the Lord Jesus Christ.

ahhh the nostalgia... this was like my favorite song when i was 9

Always loved this song ever since I was a wee one, but now that I’m 19, this song is more relatable than ever!

But You look at my heart and You tell me that I've got all You seek... Amen.

This girl has such an amazing voice. I love her music. I could listen to her all day long.

Love, Love, Love this song!!!

I love this song! It is good loves no matter how we are and we can just be ourselves around him. :) Praise Jesus!

This song just brings tears of joy, sadness, hope and love for Christ to me. Big strong man just crying like a baby. Love her music so much that I actually buy it.

Still absolutely LOVING this song in 2020!!

2019 anyone? God bless u :-)

this song will always be so fun to jam to:)) god bless you if ur reading this !!💕

This song is my favourite. You're a star Francesca Battistelli. You're an example of what God does for our lives. :)

I'm going through a really hard time rn and as I'm driving to school just thinking. The lyrics to this song pop into my head and have been stuck there all day. I haven't heard the song in a really long time. In fact, I don't remember the last time I did, so I don't know where it came from. I love the song so much. It's so inspirational!

Good rhythm with a cool clear voice ... Yes Sis Francesca ... on His most Holy shoulder ... the fullness of life is free to be. ...

About to take this song into 2016. Still makes me a true connection to God.

This song is so encouraging and really nice to know I don’t have to be in control of everything and that God’s got it😁

2019 and still so deep and wonderful! To God be the glory!!

I have never heard this song before today. It's absolutely AWESOME! I totally relate to it on so many levels! Thanks for sharing your talent!!

Coming across a song I used to love when I was a kid is one very underrated satisfaction 😭💯... It's been more than 10 years and it still hits the same 🔥💯. I love anyone who loved it ❤️💯

On my own I'm so clumsy, but on Your shoulders I can see....I'm free to be me. Wow, love, love, love the truth in this song. God bless you!

this has no reason to be such a bop when i have religious trauma

High praise for the pure in heart! You rock! Free to be me 🌟

This is one of my favorite Christian songs. I know it almost word for word.

Her music, lyrics, everything is beautiful and just a wonderful testament to Christain life!🥰

This song is helping me find who I really am:)

Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear this. such a talented, blessed person. Christian music can really make a great impact on our world today. I'll do whatever to bring awareness to whoever. :)

I saw the Lord through out her entire way to this song and will see it in her entire life and beyond. Praise God. Live like Jesus and you who you are is all ok.

Hey everyone! Just a reminder that no religion can save us but developing our own relationship with God truly is the best thing that we can ever do. I am only 15 years old but I love Jesus with all my heart, soul, mind and strength. Peope ask me why I am so commiting and submissive to God, that is because I want to share the good news to everyone, and it made me realize that life is meaningless without God, questions in our mind can get in the way and no other solution is best that God, praying and seeking His word. And I also want to pass something on this world before I die that will live on forever and will be passed from generations to generations. We just need to hold on to our faith, and we must surrender our lives to Christ, for Christ died for us to free us from sin, though all of us are sinners, but letting the Holy Spirit cleanse us and guide us to the path of righteousness will surely keep us close to God. True freedom comes from God and letting God do His plan in our lives will surely be better than our own plans in life. God bless everyone and have a good day ahead!

i’m not christian but this song is actually so good🤤

I’m an atheist and but this song slaps

Beautiful.....loved it the second I turned on the radio while waiting for my wife to come out of the local pharmacy. I heard only the last chorus, figured out the title and ran into the pharmacy to write it down due to bad memory cells. (approx. two) Now I am here...... loving it. Made my day so much more brighter already. Thanks for sharing this!!!!

i’m sikh but damn this got me moving my toes and wiggling my body ITS A BOP!!

She is truly amazing! I got to meet her a couple years ago and hear her perform at the camp i was at. She is truly talented! Through her music you can see how much faith and love she has for it! This song helps me remember that not everyone is perfect but through christ in his eyes we are!

I just started listening to her tonight, and im in love already! I found her because of Jessa Duggar (19 kids and counting). Her sister in law was singing "worth it" and I looooved it, so I had to find her and listen to all the songs, lol

This song is just so amazing to me and how God uses it to lift us up when we're feeling down and discouraged! Sing on sister;and continue following and writing for the Lord our God.

Her music is so encouraging for the young in the faith

Absolutely love this! 🙌🏾

i love this song if i wake up for school so early i play this song and it gets me dancing idk y

Love this song!! Francesca Battistelli you are a powerful song writer. And as they say "We all have talents" Well god gave you a very great one!!!

This song reminds me of my first few years as a Christian. 😍 Good times

I love Francesca Battistelli

My best friend, who died, used to say, ”Mark, even if I don’t feel good, God is good”. He told me that even though he was dying, he was never happier in his life--always praising God, always talking about God with me. Only God can do that. His name was Ron Williams. I wrote a song about this; Just type: MARK BEHRENS (for the search). Thanks and God bless.

Wow! I didn't realize how old this is, and it is still one of the best songs I've very heard! Amazing message, God Bless!

I absolutely love this song. It shows that no matter how many rips we have in our jeans, or dents we have in out fenders, that God will love us unconditionally!!!!!!!!!

Alguém do Brasil Ouvindo esta musica lindíssima?

Man i get chills to this song

Beautiful song! Makes me tear up every time, that how beautiful this song is!

All the songs of Francesca are just amazing God bless her and all her ministries

I LOVE THIS SONG

perfection is my enemy

Heard this on the radio and came and looked it up. Got chills over and over listening to it. ...Gotta a couple of dents in my fender, gotta couple of rips in my jeans, try to fit the pieces together, but perfection is my enemy, and on my own I'm so clumsy - but on your shoulders - I can see - I'm free to be me.... Gorgeous voice and beautiful lyrics! I'm inspired by creative words of beauty and voices like this!

OMG, another beautiful song which makes me smile and praise GoD!!!!!!

LOVE THIS SONG!

Still listening in 2021 🎶

This song always makes me so happy! My childhood! Plus I love singing to her! Her range is perfect 👌🏼. This takes me back so hard and it’s such a great song! Great lyrics and great music 💛💛💛

Francesca is one of my biggest music inspirations. She is also so faithful, I really admire her.

It’s crazy, I loved this song as a girl. I would sing it all the time and I really admired her. But life happened and I grew apart from god and completely forgot about this song. Then crazy enough it popped into my head when I was at an extreme low. I looked it up and I was so moved when I realized, I’m 20 now just like the song says. Every word she sings holds so much more meaning to me now. I get it and god led me back to this right when I needed it. I was so moved I started crying. Like seriously the fact I never played it once in 10 years and I just randomly do when I’m 20. He works in mysterious ways.

Amen. 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

This was the first song I ever heard from you when I was about 7, and I've loved it ever since.

I love your songs so much😊.May God forever give you the strength to write and sing more songs like this

This my favorite song

The message that I take from this song is that no one is perfect. Everyone is human. God is so good.

I did, thank God for this song and awesome lyrics ❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌🙌
