I finally found this after hearing it once on TV and knew I had to find it to hear it again ,it just speaks volumes!,cry everytime I hear it b ecause I realize how much needs to be done in my life to just be a good person everyday!!,By the way I put it in my favorites so I never lose it again, I need this everyday!! Ruth Ann Mehlbrech
This is really a wonderful and touching song.Glory to God for having allowed the writer of the song to arrange the words in such a lovely and touching manner.God bless you guys and may you please continue spreading his word through music.
I don't normally get into music like this but when I heard it all I could do was weep. I happened to be visiting family and excused myself to the bathroom to pull myself together and the harder I tried the more difficult it became. I just love my Savior and this song seems to say it all.
This song is still so amazing to hear. The lyrics are so beautiful, and the harmonies are outstanding! When I hear this song, I hear God's love for humanity. That's what makes this song so wonderful to me:)
This song brings me to tears everytime i hear it its so beautiful , those guys are just so great together........Thank you for sharing your talents with us......
This is my favorite hymn - the words are wonderful - the message is clear and delivered with love - I Then Shall Live!!! we should all aspire to this.
The rendition of this song leaves me broken before my God....begging that this can truly be the theme of my live...to LIVE as one who KNOWS she has been forgiven and to extend that forgiven freedom to live to the world around me. REGARDLESS OF THE RESPONSE.
I've just heard the story behind this song. Apparently Bill was "wronged" at the hands of a Christian brother and it really affected Bill deeply. He went out that afternoon to mow his yard and he decided he wasn't going to live with this hurt and the Holy Spirit brought these words to him.
Thank you Bill for sharing form your weakness,because it is mine. May I also forgive as I have wonderously been forgiven.
All of these guys are FABULOUS!!!! Their voices blend together so beautifully and you can see the sincerity and honest feeling on each of their faces! I just love this song!!!
Missing you Guy and Marshall! Blessings to you in whatever endeavors you are persuing!
What a thought!! We have a clean slate before God because when He sees me, all He sees is His Son's blood upon me!!! WOOO!!! That'll make you shout!! Also, we can forgive because we have been forgiven!! We don't have to live life with bitterness because God gives the victory!!! Man, God is soooooooo good!!!
I love the tune to this song so much. I originally knew it set to "Be Still My Soul" (one of my all-time favorite hymns). In January I participated in an outreach to bring food and clothing to the homeless on NYC streets. The next day in church we sang "I Then Shall Live" in our service; I was struck by how appropriate that timing was! This song is beautiful because it reminds me of the service and compassion I owe others because of what Jesus has given me.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! Most excellent performance! Definitely a favorite for a lifetime! This song brings the Presence of God everytime I listen to it!! I don't believe I will ever tire of listening to this, or it's words. I also pray that this prayer will always be my life's prayer! Thank you God for who You are!! Hallelujah! :)
We just returned from an Ernie Haase Signature of Sound concert. If I am not mistaken, the tune is "Be Still My Soul" but the words are Gaither. How magnificent!
Yes indeed. Finlandia is sort of like the Finnish version of "America the Beautiful."
There is also another hymn set to this music that is in our hymnbook called "A Christian Home." We sing it in our church, and its words are deply felt.
Heard this at church for the first time last night and wept -- and I run the multimedia, so I'm usually dual-focused on that and don't fall apart. The lyrics are profound, and hopefully somewhere {better than our where} Sibelius is smiling at this new rendition.
I love the way this song was produced and arranged. The orchestra sets up for whats gonna happen next. The second verse instrumental break is medium volume for whats gonna happen and then before the next verse the orchestra explodes to set up whats gonna happen next with the vocals.
I am absolutely WOWED by this piece of music! Gloria has totally offered her entire heart, soul, and musical talent in these words! And the glorious tune absolutely fits those words! (And vice versa). Praise God for the Gaithers and their contribution to Gospel Music! I just wish I could hear all the song on the video. It keeps flicking in and out (mostly out)!
My daughter sent me this link today. How powerful!! The verses I was studying last week came to my mind...
Micah 6:6-8 (with some deleted -- read the whole passage!!)
"With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? ...Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
Dear Hoover4000, You have a gift for offering up the most lovely spiritual songs; I tried to comment on the Acoustix on the Gaither Video but my words never got there. Both are terribly moving to my heart as I am sure they are to others. I know a video is worth listening to when the tears won't stop rolling down my face. Can you just imagine how many people in this world are being blessed by your action? Well done, my friend,
Wow hoover, you really have a ministry here without ever having to leave your home. Just about every good Gaither song I click on was posted by you..lol Keep it up!
My My! What can I say? This has just triggered a revival in my soul. There is certainly a great difference between commercialized music and that inspired by the Holy Spirit Himself. I thank you from the depth of my heart for this awakening. May all who hear the words of this song, arise and heed the Master's call that the Lamb Who was slain will receive the reward for all of His suffering. God bless you.
They dont just sound "good" together, they sound AMAZING. This song always touches my heart, and it was truly amazing to hear it live when I saw SS last year! God Bless
I have sang this song with my church choir a few times over the past months and I never tire of hearing it or singing it. I hope that it becomes a blessing to all that hear it in the same way it has blessed my life.
This song is originally written by a Finnish composer called J.Sibelius and it's called the Finlandia hymn. It's a patriotic song about the freedom of Finland.
Oh gosh, it's the concert all over again. I love this and it's a great reminder of the concert, and thrilling to know I get to hear Ernie Haas and Signature Sound again. So pretty.
What a beautiful song. The words has such powerful meaning. Thanks hoover4000 for another good video. I really like the two quartets singing together.
I absolutely get chills everytime I listen to this. You can hear each voice part solidly and it makes the chords so rich and full. Saw their concert together on webcast- can't wait for the DVD to come out next month. Thanks for pumping out those solid videos Hoover!
