The music video for "No Longer Bound" features different clips of people holding up paper or signs, with writing on it mentioning personal struggles or failures that they have experienced. They then flip over the sign to reveal a part that says they are "no longer bound" from whatever struggle they have had. Text at the beginning of the video states that they had created an alternative music video that involved more than 40 people and cost $10,000, but before release, "God told them to do something different". It is followed by saying that "this is his version". Then it cuts to the rest of the video.
