Lord, I am listening. Lord. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Second of all, I want to thank my beautiful wife. I would have never changed my life without you. I would have ended up dead or in jail. I would have killed myself if it wasn&#8217;t for you and Jesus. I thank you for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJelly Roll also opened up about the experiences that inspired his hit record.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;There was a time in my life, y&#8217;all, that I was broken. That&#8217;s why I wrote this album. I didn&#8217;t think I had a chance, y&#8217;all. There was days that I thought the darkest things. I was a horrible human.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe singer spent time in and out of jail during his younger years, and he explained how those experiences have shaped him.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;There was a moment in my life that all I had was a Bible this big, and a radio the same size, and a six-by-eight-foot cell. And I believe that those two things could change my life. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I believe that music had the power to change my life, and God had the power to change my life. And I want to tell y&#8217;all right now Jesus is for everybody. Jesus is not owned by one political party. Jesus is not owned by no music label. Jesus is Jesus and anybody can have a relationship with Him. I love you, Lord.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nEarlier in the night, Jelly Roll won the awards for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance\/Song and Best Country Duo\/Group Performance before he even arrived on the red carpet, and he subsequently confessed to feeling overwhelmed by his own success.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told E! News: &#8220;I&#8217;m late to the carpet because it took me about 30 minutes to emotionally regulate.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Oh, I mean, I was &#8211; I haven&#8217;t cried like that in a long time, happy tears. Just a cathartic cry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jelly-roll-credits-bunnie-saving-life-1437000.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 February 2026 Jelly Roll credited Bunnie Xo with saving his life following his success at the Grammys.
