This song reminds me of that day 3 years ago, when I was very depressed and almost committed suicide. I remember having the handful of pills in my hand and just as I was about to put them in my mouth. I heard a strong yet comforting voice say "Stop, don't do this. I know how you feel and just know that I am here. I know you don't feel beautiful and you don't feel loved. You don't have to hurt anymore, if you put your trust in me, I will heal you. I am God, just believe in me and I will give you purpose." I dropped the pills and fell to my knees, balling my eyes out. I gave my life over to God that day. I now feel beautiful and loved and I know have a purpose in this world. Thank you Justin for this! :) God Bless

This song is dedicated to God. 🙏 He decided to hold on to his life because God gave him purpose. Such a deep song ❤

2024 everyone???

Lyrics Feeling like I'm breathing my last breath Feeling like I'm walking my last steps Look at all of these tears I've wept Look at all the promises that I've kept I put my all into your hands Here's my soul to keep I let you in with all that I can You're not hard to reach And you bless me with the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose Yeah, you've given me purpose Thinking my journey's come to an end Sending out a farewell to my friends, for inner peace Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please? I'm more than grateful for the time we spent My spirit's at ease I put my heart into your hands Learn the lessons you teach No matter when, wherever I am You're not hard to reach And you've given me the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose everyday You give me purpose in every way Oh, you are my everything Oh, you are my everything I don't know if this is wrong, because someone else is telling me that it's wrong. But I feel this so let me just like try my best not to let this happen again. We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions You can't be hard on yourself for it, these are the cards you were given so you have to understand that's not who you are. You know you're trying to be the best you can be, but that's all you can do. If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself give it all you got but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening That's what happening with me, it's like "God, I'm giving it all I've got, sometimes I'm weak and I'm going to do it." And it's like I'm not giving myself grace, I'm just like understanding that's how it is

Wow, this song got deep real quick! I never cared much for Bieber, either as a person or his music. He just didn't resonate with me. But this new Bieber is different. He is more mature. He is a lot more honest. He is legit. Previously, I would have never said I was a Bieber fan. But now... ...I'm a belieber. Peace.

There are 3 really crazy facts about this I'm facing right now: 1. I used to hate Justin as a person when he "changed" and put on the "bad boy" act, and I never liked his music. Now, not only do I LOVE this new album of his, especially this song, but it MOVED me, made me cry (see fact #2)!!! I feel I can forgive him for being the way he was, and myself for feeling so much hate for him. It's not healthy, being bigoted like I was. I'm sorry, Justin. No one deserves to be hated like that. I feel like a jerk too. 2. The song lyrics and the audio sample at the end of him speaking, talking about not being hard on yourself, and all that....man that really hit home with me. I've been going through a lot of that lately. I feel this empowers me during my struggle with depression. This reminds me of the original JB who was a nice guy even though i didn't like his music before. He listened to his heart and became a bigger person. This is honestly beautiful. 3. This video was released on my 24th birthday, November 14th, not even kidding. This song spoke to me and really got my attention for these 3 reasons. I would love to one day talk to him about his journey, about what he went through, what really hit home with him too to become more caring of a person. This is really inspiring. Justin, if you see this, thank you for spreading this message. I'd love to see more of this in the pop industry, rather than the usual stuff. I'm usually not even a pop guy, but I love meaningful emotional music like this, and I like piano.

This song is beautiful... and when my whole family is sitting on our back porch singing it as loud as we can to our Savior!!! As young as 4 years old singing his heart out to our LORD!!! 🙏I know our non believer neighbors think we are crazy, but we are hoping we will rub off on them. Praying for them!!!

In 2017, my 3 year old son sang this song every day, until he passed away, and my family exactly heard the lyrics for the first and played the song at my sons funeral. It hit totally different now. Even 6 year later. ❤❤❤❤

Can't believe Justin turned his suicide letter into a beautiful song like Purpose. Sending the farewell to my friends, this line always gets me. 😭

[Justin] Feeling like I'm breathing my last breath Feeling like I'm walking my last steps Look at all of these tears I've wept Look at all the promises that I've kept I put my heart into your hands Here's my soul to keep I let you in with all that I can You're not hard to reach And you bless me with the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose Yeah, you've given me purpose Thinking my journey's come to an end Sending out a farewell to my friends, forever peace Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please? I'm more than grateful for the time we spent, my spirit's at ease I put my heart into your hands Learn the lessons you teach No matter what, wherever I am You're not hard to reach And you've given me the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose everyday You give me purpose in every way Oh, you are my everything... Oh, you are my everything... I don't know if this is wrong Because someone else is telling me that it's wrong But I feel this so let me just like, try my best not to let this happen again We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions. You can't be hard on yourself For these were the cards that you were given so you have to understand that these, like... That's not who you are You're trying to be the best you can be but that's all you can do If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself Give it all you got But if it ends up happening, it ends up happening. That's what it's....that's what's happening with me It's like God I'm giving it all I got, sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it, and it's like I'm not giving myself grace I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is.

Who's here still 2024❤ show some love

The end monolgue of this song is the most beautiful things that JB would've ever said in his whole life. Which reveals his full commitment, passion & dedication towards his career, faith and his upbringing. I along with rest of the his fans love him and believe in firm understanding of his faith. May God Truly bless him always!

For those of you who don't know, this song is about God. It's NOT about his fans, family or Selena. He is a Christian. "I put my heart into your hands, here's my soul to keep"- as a Christian, we submit ourselves to God completely and give our heart and soul to him to guide us. "I let you in with all that I can, you're not hard to reach"- God is never hard to reach because God is everywhere with you, so long as you pray. " Ask you to forgive me for all my sins, oh, would you please"- repentance and asking for forgiveness from God of the wrongs he's committed. "I'm more than grateful for the time we spent, my spirit's at ease"- after spending time with God in prayer, your spirit is at ease because you feel his comfort with you.

This era was the best.

That’s a new Justin Bieber for me at least, Purpose is a discovery, sad reality, beautiful soul song 🙏😞

Never a Bieber hater 💯 I don't hate talent

Wow. "You are my everything". So touching to hear Biebs talking about God like that...I've probably felt emotional at certain songs a few times in total over my life but I really got touched by this song. I feel like this is a song which everyone can relate to in some way. I know that in my life, I'd like to emulate this message more often. The song is so innocent, so pure, so genuine, and delivered by an artist that has become a symbol of change, and a symbol of good. What an amazing, and what an Incredible song. So powerful...just, Wow.

Feeling like I'm breathing my last breath Feeling like I'm walking my last steps Look at all of these tears I've wept Look at all the promises that I've kept I put my heart into your hands Here's my soul to keep I let you in with all that I can You're not hard to reach And you bless me with the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose Yeah, you've given me purpose Thinking my journey's come to an end Sending out a farewell to my friends, forever peace Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please?

We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions. You can't be hard on yourself for these were the cards that you were given so you have to understand that these, like... that's not who you are. You know you're trying to be the best you can be but that's all you can do. If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself. Give it all you got, but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening. That's what-that's what's happening with me. It's like God I'm giving it all I got, sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it, and it's like I'm not giving myself grace, I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is.

I Thank God for giving me purpose .

Thos is another level of hope. Jesus is amazing and will truly give you purpose

Such a honest and clever young man. Respect him for this tune God bless you Justin, you show the way to many lost kids, great job

This song is brilliant . It’s simple. Justin felt suicidal after years of suffering in silence, hence he says “ Sending farewell to my friends for inner peace “ As he decided to leave off on his journey he talks about how god saved him from giving up on his life and for that he is grateful. He has a purpose to live and that is to be grateful. Short song but powerful and sweet love letter to God.

you have a difficult role to play in life, but that's where God wants you, God bless you

I have been a belieber ever since he started his singing career. And i am so proud to see that Justin is surrendering to the one true king 🙏🏻. I am a Christian and I do believe in Jesus and I do go to church. And to see someone like Justin surrender to God is amazing and a blessing. Justin just know that I and all beliebers are so proud of you. Love you always and forever Justin❤.

Justin has changed for the better, he has a wife, cares about health, and believes in God very much. I think women in this video symbolize demons, addictions, etc. He has freed himself from these demons and is now a better person. It's just my interpretation I crying when I listen to this song, but I love her. 😭❤️😢❤️ Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

Even if you hate Justin you can never hate justin songs. He is the one who makes the best songs with consistency

Im a 35 y.o Belieber!!! My bucket list is to see him live in concert! 😍🥰 This song is perfect and hits so different; when I was pregnant it took a new meaning in my life!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER!!! 😍😍😍

Behind all that money, cars and ego.. i see a good man. I really hope his personallity reaches the right people. I hope the right people see it too. Hope you have an amazing year, God bless you

My ears have been blessed THANK YOU JUSTIN 😍

God: You give me purpose🙌❤️

2024 has arrived and I still can't get over this ERA, good times...

*The message of this song is beyond inspiring* *It's 2024 but the message of this song still so strong*

When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - Heart Of A City Boy” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️🎉

it's making me soo upset to see how the media changed his life. he's a honest boy, but the media put him in a bad daylight. they're following en 'teasing' him to get a reacting that they can post on forums to get views or visitors and money. most of the time when you see a bad video about Justin, they only show the reaction of Justin. they won't show you what happened before. what Justin said ''I'm a real person with feelings. when people trying to make fun of you, rage comes out sometimes. It's a human reaction. I have feelings, just as everyone has. don't judge me by what you see in the media, becasue they won't show you everything.'' I think justin is a really honest person. THIS IS A MESSAGE TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HATES JUSTIN BECAUSE OF THE BAD THINGS YOU SEE IN THE MEDIA!

whos here in 2020 to see how much he has changed, improved and developed as a person?

2024 everyone. I see you ?

Album of the century ❤

Here is my explanation to the music video. Those girls represent temptations that entangled us and the pleasure that bind us. He then found the GIFT that gave him purpose and changed him. He took off his jacket and showed his white shirt which means putting off your old self to become a new person. The sand the remained in his shirt means that you still make mistakes but that does not mean you have to give in.

2015 was really a hell of a year man, i miss these times!

Who is listening forever ❤

Listening to this during the corona period. God bless yall. Peace world✌️

Don’t be so hard on yourself JB, all we can do is the best we can do

this song has guided me the last 7 years and means so much to me. Thank you, Justin 🥹🪽🪽

Verse 1] Feeling like I'm breathing my last breath Feeling like I'm walking my last steps Look at all of these tears I've wept Look at all the promises that I've kept [Pre-Chorus] I put my all into your hands Here's my soul to keep I let you in with all that I can You're not hard to reach [Chorus] And you bless me with the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose Yeah, you've given me purpose [Verse 2] Thinking my journey's come to an end Sending out a farewell to my friends, for inner peace Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please? I'm more than grateful for the time we spent, my spirit's at ease [Pre-Chorus] I put my heart into your hands Learn the lessons you teach No matter when, wherever I am You're not hard to reach [Chorus] And you've given me the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose everyday You give me purpose in every way [Bridge] Oh, you are my everything Oh, you are my everything [Outro (Spoken)] I don’t know if this is wrong, because someone else is telling me that it’s wrong. But I feel this so let me just like try my best not to let this happen again. We weren’t necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions You can’t be hard on yourself for it, these are the cards you were given so you have to understand that’s not who you are. You know you’re trying to be the best you can be, but that’s all you can do. If you don’t give it all you got, you’re only cheating yourself give it all you got but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening That’s what happening with me, it’s like “God, I’m giving it all I’ve got, sometimes I’m weak and I’m going to do it.” And it’s like I’m not giving myself grace, I’m just like understanding that’s how it is

The girls in the video represent sin that has come across his life. They are trying to attach themselves to Justin, to make him pull away from God. But at the end of the video when he's talking, they all pull away from him because he has gone for God and a better life and they can't do anything to stop him. This is why I love Justin so much

Imagine millions of youth being saved and following the creator of universe(God) because of you.

I think he has the sweetest voice on the Planet...those harmonys so soothing... 💛

Fun fact the girl who starts out in this video is Simrin Player... she did her first video with Justin Bieber in 2010 with "Somebody to Love" she also has been on tour with him through out the years and she's only 16 now! You should check out her solos and dances on UKposts, she's incredible!

Thank you for growing up and becoming a great singer of God Justin!

i always hear this song when i am at my lowest...it gives me hope and helps me let it all out

my biggest flex: never hated Justin Bieber

The one that has been trying to get a hold of you for a long TIME now

I’m so grateful for friends and family, and for my Lord and Savior ✝️

This might seem over dramatic but I seriously started crying. Real tears and Real crying, this song is amazing

Anyone in 2024❤

Love that he's always been huge but always makes meaningful music

This is one of those videos that dedicated to the fans. The lyrics are aimed at his fans. This is basically him saying thank you for being there for me. Its quite emotional actually. This is Justin's way of say please forgive me. I used to be against this guy, saying he didn't care about the people around him. Now hes saying that he did wrong by those people, and is trying to say sorry. It takes a true man to stand up and say they did wrong. Its not easy, infact its very, very hard. This is proof that Justin is grasping his life back. he wants to give back again. For all who read this, a fan of bieber's or not, this guy is not bad anymore. He is worth listening to now, where before it was all about himself. Like he says 'I will try my best to not let this happen again'. hes saying he doesn't want to distract himself with himself. He wants a purpose, and that's what hes got.

So many people are mad how people are now just joining the fandom, and it sucks to say that I was once a major Justin Bieber fan and I suddenly stopped because of the way he was acting. I feel so ashamed that I wasn't there all that time. But now I'm back, and I'm not joining the "bandwagon" or just "following the crowd". I'm here because Justin Genuinely changed. He's finally realized the meaning of life, My point is- It doesn't matter who is suddenly now liking Justin, It isn't about being there since the beginning, it's about being there 'till the end.

Listening in 2023 and this is still the best JB song ever. So beautiful, vulnerable, honest and reverent. This song forever has my heart.

Literally giving me purpose.

Funny how sometimes a person who is thousands of miles awake from u can make u feel better than people right next to u! 🌍1️⃣❤️

God is helping me find my purpose, it makes me so happy to see Justin improving and submitting himself to Christ. I love you so much Jesus and Justin. 😢😢😭😭

Love that this is about his faith ✝️ respect

Purpose ... The best gift we Have ...

I'm crying. I repeat, I'M FUCKING CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful job to all the dancers who were involved in the making of the music videos for this album. Special love shout out to my daughter Simrin Player (the dancer who appears at the very beginning with the long braid). I love you endlessly sweetheart. 💜 You looked absolutely beautiful!! Bravo Justin!!!

Hes singing about Jesus Christ, He is so brave hang in there brother I'm praying for you

Again justin blows me away! I can't comment on all his stuff so much of it! But it's all outstanding❤

the girls are his demons , that's why they're fighting with him and at the end he finds God and they went away. My theory

Justin earned back my respect with this album, especially with this song 🙏

Happy Birthday Justin Bieber 🎁 30 years old

this is the song that proves people can change not in a bad way but also in a good way. I'm proud of justin

His voice like angel 🙃

This video always had a message that nobody understood at the moment ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Justin Bieber inspired me a lot .

eling like I'm breathing my last breath Feeling like I'm walking my last steps Look at all of these tears I've wept Look at all the promises that I've kept I put my heart into your hands Here's my soul to keep I let you in with all that I can You're not hard to reach And you bless me with the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose Yeah, you've given me purpose Thinking my journey's come to an end Sending out a farewell to my friends, forever peace Ask you to forgive me for my sins, oh would you please? I'm more than grateful for the time we spent, my spirit's at ease I put my heart into your hands Learn the lessons you teach No matter when, wherever I am You're not hard to reach And you've given me the best gift That I've ever known You give me purpose everyday You give me purpose in every way Oh, you are my everything Oh, you are my everything [Spoken:] I don't know if this is wrong because someone else is telling me that it's wrong but I feel this so let me just like, try my best not to let this happen again. We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions. You can't be hard on yourself for these were the cards that you were given so you have to understand that these, like... that's not who you are. You know you're trying to be the best you can be but that's all you can do. If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself. Give it all you got, but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening. That's what-that's what's happening with me. It's like God I'm giving it all I got, sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it, and it's like I'm not giving myself grace, I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is.

God loves you so much. You will open the heart of many souls! I'm glad you find in Him your purpose!

You can't be hard on yourself For these were the cards that you were given so you have to understand that these, like... That's not who you are You're trying to be the best you can be but that's all you can do If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself Give it all you got But if it ends up happening, it ends up happening.

This song is great and I love his voice here, praise be to God the most high ❤️🙏

I'd never thought I'd say this.... But I really respect and appreciate Justin Bieber. His music, his message, him. I remember when being a "belieber" was taboo. And now I just want to spread the word that he's worth another chance. Dude, I doubt you'll ever see this, but props to you man. You came a long way, but you're winning over the people who've never once believed in you. That's impressive and not something many artists at all can do. Keep doing you. Its working.

God is good! All the time!!!

I pray that you find your purpose and kept singing to glorify the Lord. Lead your fans to Jesus.

I listened to this song all night long when my daughter was born...god has finally given me purpose 😚😚

justin bieber inspires me every single day

God has allowed you to fall into your sin. Hallelujah, so when God brings you out of it. You will be even more grateful. For those he forgives more of their sins the more gratitude and the more love you will have for our Savior. You'll know God is calling you. Knowing your righteous wife and children, He is holding them for you, till you repent again. God bless you brother. I will rejoice when you come back our lost sheep.

2024 about to start. Hope this year brings joy and success for everyone. ❤

BEST PART : 2:40 I don't know if this is wrong Because someone else is telling me that it's wrong But I feel this so let me just like, try my best not to let this happen again We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions You can't be hard on yourself for these were the cards that you were given So you have to understand that these like That's not who you are You know you're trying to be the best you can be But that's all you can do If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself Give it all you got But if it ends up happening, it ends up happening That's what it's that's what's happening with me It's like, God I'm giving it all I got Sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it And it's like I'm not giving myself grace I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is

this song is about God❤

You know 10 years ago the media tried to make Justin out as arrogant, entitled and spoiled brat. I just thought he were growing up and taking control over his life after dealing with so many handlers and people who pretended to have his best interest in mind but were really only selfish. I knew and believed Justin would come around and return to the true man he was and is. I am so proud and happy to see where he is today. He seems to be making his own decisions and his own music. This song is testament as you best believe the "industry" don't want him talking about God. Much love and respect to Justin.

still my favourite justin briber era

I swear this is such an underrated song.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 crying I am proud of you Justin BTW you give me purpose thank you for saving my life 8 years ago
