Chris Tomlin - I am a Friend of God

[florsumalde]

i was so lucky for a being friend of god!u too also!

[BonoBonoify]

i was the enemy of god but now i'm a friend of God..Praise God!!!

[InnerMittenSignal]

to johnnyk, you can only feel safe about God's wrath if you are spotless in your conduct towards others i'm afraid. He is a Forgiving God, but also a Just God. this is indeed His Age of Mercy, but no one can feel 'safe' for their Eternal Life without humbly repenting & accepting help from Above! Help that makes one capable of spotless conduct! your access to it was purchased for you by the spilled blood of God's Son, Jesus, who didn't deserve to die, as we all do, wallowing in lies & pride!

[charliegirl42]

i am a friend of God... awesome!!

[nowhereproductions19]

we're so lucky to be a friend of god

[wxsarge07]

We used to sing this one at my old church in MO. I just heard it for the first time from the Praise team at the one I attend here in Korea. Man, was it awesome...and I needed to hear it too especially after a tough week at work.

[ryw1118]

oh my gosh...i am in SC now and have been all summer in Hilton Head Island..when was this?...ohhh i would have loved bein there!!!!

[dpodsobinski]

It was a few years ago now. 2007 I think -- how time flies!

[musicboggs]

[johnnyk2112]

[xogus8551]

[hahahallo12]

i am a friend of God!!

[sexiish0rtii]

chris tomlin is amazing <3 his music

[linfield08]

them people arn't worshiping God, they are just jumping up and down with there hands in the air!

I AM A FRIEND OF GOD! :)

[Kelibath]

You can worship God by singing to him and jumping up and down through happiness.

[katipunan09]

Who Am I?

I am a friend of God...

[ASPEN1245]

i have grown up not having any friends but God is my friend

[ARisenServant]

All the world will fall away but God will still be there! Holding you up above everyone else!

[2burn4him]

thats right, God ses it all.. and these kids are worshipping the ONE and only True Living God... not MTV or the latest star

[REALITYCHECKRECORDZ]

awesome

[naomiheadley]

I love this song- We play it at church- Its so amzin and so true.

[neverkid123]

i am a friend of God!!!!!!!!!

[Loveblessing1]

he didd not do his hair

[christfirst419]

We as followers of Jesus Christ are not to be focussed on the way others worship, nor are we to be concerned on who is truely worshipping or not. That is between God and that individual. Yes, it may be true that others are doing what everyone else is doing, but that is still not for us to dissern about. If we are suppose to live our lives worshipping God, then how is bickering about others achieving that??? just a thought.

[LloydSandy3]

Does anyones opinions really matter, c'mon,

Isreal, Chris, so what, lets get real, How do you know who is worshipping?, are they worshipping you? Shut up! (If you cant say something nice, stay of the keyboard)!!

[manthebomb]

one question. why do people jump when they hear the music?

[babivampire4ever]

because it is how you let it out... In a way i am not the best at explaining but i do know that we christians jump for one reason we love god and anyway we can show it we will. I may not stand for everyone but i know someothers along with me feel more pumped up when they jump it is just a way of praising our god in other terms.

By the way i love this song!

[ARisenServant]

These kids are worshiping God!..."I am a friend of God"!!!

Can you imagine that?....being a friend of the most high God!....and not just his friend! But his child!

I'd jump and scream till the day I die!

[10MrsDavidTennant10]

Because they're so filled with the love of God! When I hear this music it makes me want to dance and jump and shout just because God LOVES ME. And I love Him so so much. Amen!

[koloarte7]

God will compensate these kids that worship him!!! Amen

[dazzathebazza]

When did youtube turn into a scholarly debate between those who follow Christ and those who don't...i just wanted to say that this is a really brilliant song and i think that is what this comment option is for...not to slag off the Christian tradition..! That should be done elsewhere...Chris Tomlin is a fantastic worship leader too, the words he speaks like any musician, and his music, is just awesome!

[jacobwillown]

I don't mean to be bashing, but it seems like some of the kids are more worried about what other people think of them, than thinking about just worshiping God.

You see kids in the vid looking around, kinda standing awkwardly, not sure whether this worship stuff is "cool", just checking to see what every other kid is doing. On the other hand there are kids just jumping like crazy and worshiping their hearts out.

Just a thought.

[LoverOfSesshy]

I noticed that as well. I believe i am conscious of what others think but convince myself that they are not what is going to get me into heaven.

[annainglewood]

While what you say is true there are other kids there who are NOT concerned with others thoughts of them. How many of us can say we have never been guilty of seeking man's approval instead of God's? I think the kids in the vid reflect the attitudes of the adults they learn from. True surrender to God is worship without being concerned what people think.

[saltworksmusic]

I hear you, jacobwillown, but it's cool if kids are feeling awkward and trying to figure it out. We're all awkwardly trying to figure things out. But, it seems like they're being blown away to be somewhere in the world where they can see so many kids rejoicing in the Lord in fellowship with others who seek to glorify Jesus Christ. We get pumped about football, how much more pumped should we be about the glory of God. So, look around, take it all in. It's a beautiful thing. Blessings.

[charlesortz]

No. Its not bashing at all.

Human beings always want to play it safe. We never want to put out there. and kids magnify that feeling x10.

And the other kids are just worshiping God.

Kids (and adults will always look around in akward situations)

you just have to shut it out. Because its all for God.

(sorry this is a late post. haha)

[chrisho87]

Jesus (peace be upon him) didn't do this stuff.

[jasonlowe55]

And you know this because....?

[Acoustiic]

neither did he read the bible. but we do that don't we?

[Crawlingfaint15]

wait...are you trying to say that Jesus didn't read the bible?

...he wrote it

[melissa299]

This song was written by the great Israel

Houghton. Come on people get with the Christian music program!

[dwqda]

stupid humans believing in false gods made to control populace.. constrained by your own intelligence... LOOK AROUND FFS nature is cruel there is no god if any its a god who wants us to do our own thing so do it and stop believing in fairy tales and slowing down scientific progress so other countries while wipe us out when they take the lead.. theres much bigger things to worry about then sinning or heresy.. faggots

[dpodsobinski]

Thank you for checking out this song. You too are a friend of God & 1 day I pray that you will invite Him into your heart. There are many scientific facts stated in the Bible and proven much later.

Try praying once for something that really means a lot to you in your life. He will respond.

Blaise Pascal, renowned mathemetician, stated that it is better to beleive & be right than to not believe & be wrong. Sir Isaac Newton was a believer & many other chemists and scientists...

[puregospeltruth]

Whoever is a friend of the world is the ENEMY of God (James 4:4), Why don't they ever say that? (hint: because some of them aren't God's friends, they're in love with the world and love their sin)

[MDsaxguy103]

does anyone know who is the author/composer of this song?

[jarsofclayo2]

when you surrender your life to God he becomes your everything!! God Bless

[johnnyk2112]

jars: Yes, and then you have nothing.

[teddybabear]

and you will have everything He has!including Him!! ^_^

[nurmia]

thats right.. because GOD IS YOU EVERYTHING.

and you don't need anything else. ANYTHING.

[geetjuhh]

Yay, I love this song!!!!!

Though this is Michael W Smith, not Chris Tomlin. ;)

[dpodsobinski]

Michael W Smith must also sing it, however this guy really is Chris Tomlin. Check out his live from TX album, as well as the Passion CD's, as he is on both of those singing this same song, too.

[geetjuhh]

Oh I'm really sorry! Now I do see (and hear) it's Chris. Wow, they're alike then. ;)

[aisaisjom]

Thanks for sharing this brother Christoph... Nice video.. God bless.

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15

[dpodsobinski]

Perfect Scripture to this song! Thank you for sharing.

[fluro90]

hehe

[twistindoggy101]

Hallelujah!
