"I haven't believed the truth about myself I haven’t believed I am loved I haven’t believed I am forgiven it’s a hard thing for me to wrap my head around. I hang my head in shame and I wallow in sadness about the people who have betrayed me," the 25-year-old continued.
The singer, who attends Hillsong Church and frequently speaks about his relationship with God, preached his feelings about how faith has given him strength.
