My redeemer - Matthew Ward & David Gospel Choir in concert

[wheelzwheela]

1:57 There is something wrong with that.

[harnessbells]

Matthew, I don't know if you see these comments. I was 1st trombonist with PTL for years. I can sit for hours, it seems, and listen to you singing this. I just hit play again and then again. It loops around, seeming to heal me, somehow.

[Robert3Jennifer]

From my perspective, Mr. Ward's lack of annoyance at the dancer reflects Our Redeemer Jesus' acceptance of all of us unworthy subjects.

[Robert3Jennifer]

Who is the guitarist ?

[portlavacaboy]

To iclayp's assertion that dancing isn't referenced in scripture: Judges 11v3Ladies dancing in the vineyard - Judges 21v21-23 Children playing games - Matthew 11v17 The return of the prodigal son - Luke 15v25 Celebrating victory - 1 Samuel 18v6-7 Lamentations 5v15 Psalm 30v11 Ecclesiastes 3v4 Jeremiah 31v4&13 Exodus 15v20-21 David danced before the Ark of the Lord - 2 Samuel 6v14-23 1 Chronicles 15 and 16 We are to praise God with dancing - Psalm 150v4 Psalm 149v3

[kingface86]

I really liked the song, and the performance. The dancer seemed to upstage the song itself, and I had a hard time understanding what he was doing- it did take some of the focus off the message of the song, to me, but that is not a critique of the song or the video. Lovely song, and the cuts from two performances into 1 video was well done. Nice job.

[iclayp]

Love Matthew's voice, great song, but the interpretive dance has to go. You don't see this 'art' anywhere in scripture.

[astorianygirl]

I love brother Matt's singing!

[secondbible]

hahaha, matthew ward is an angel sent by the lord, his music is so powerful, u don't even know, it will be revealed at the end of days, and all u haters will be putting to shame for attacking the spirit of God. man, go trolling somewhere else, as ur messing with the wrong stuff ! god is interested in the CHILD and the FEMININE, because it has been repressed by NEPHILIM MALES for too long already, so go back to rome or calvinistic geneve or where ever u come from, no one needs ur so called balls

[mozdickson]

my dad died this week. He was 89 and had faith in Jesus Christ as His saviour. I've come to visit again this wonderful clip/song, which speaks the truth about the anchor of hope we can have in Jesus death and ressurection. Thanks.

[kc1469]

One of my all-time favorites from Matthew Ward. And I enjoyed the interpretative dance, too. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings.

[elecdon]

this is worship at it's best. Such a gift and annointing. It's too bad his music receives such few hits. Try to find a male vocalist with a better range of voice and such feeling and grace. God Bless mathew and his family

[wedgemaster1960]

let's concentrate on the fantastic lyrics of this song and leave the other factors alone..we should be focused on the Father's heart not our own personal opinions. Does God love everyone on this video? Enough said

[Hashukim]

This vid is way faggy.

Why you protestants so girly and lame sometimes?

Seriously, this religion of yours (especially music like this) has no balls.

[MyTwelveKids]

I don't like the dance moves here either, but they don't represent Christianity. The Holy Spirit in a man or woman is POWERFUL, not sissy at all. He gives us the strength to do ANYTHING that God requires us to do---even to LOVE those who hate us.

[mozdickson]

@Hashukim i can see why you comment, but be careful when you criticise anothers worship - check what happened when David danced before the Ark of the Covenant and a certain person did such...

[parisreidhead]

i love interpretive dance, when it is on the Spirit, wonderful job to the lady on there

[wedgemaster1960]

how can I get the lyrics to this song?

[wedgemaster1960]

To ksoto63; all of my thoughts and prayers are with you. Having just been diagnosed with prostate cancer and now scheduled to go through bone scans, CTScan, etc. my anxiety is daily put at the foot of the cross.

The ministry of Matthew Ward has always touched me, truly a beautiful song.

[ksoto63]

to wedgemaster1960, I am just now seeing your post. I want you to know that I am praying for you. Keep your eyes focused on God. Draw closer to Him. God can work miracles.

About the lyrics to this song, I have gone all over the internet and cannot find them.

God bless you and I am praying for you.

[ksoto63]

My husband went home to be with God on 8-7-09. He had metastatic prostate cancer. He battled it for 2 years. He knew that he was going to go home. I found this song saved to his computer. This is a computer that he was working on when he was sick and did not finish.

[elecdon]

the guy dancing needs testosterone injections or he is gay , not sure

[spartacus3]

Hey elecdon:

Don't judge. It's OK to be exactly who you are when you worship God. Remember the song "Just As I Am?" God sees all, and knows all the intents of your heart, regardless of what others may perceive. Set aside your judgments and just worship God.

[secondbible]

@elecdon did u know that god once flooded the earth because of testerone-worshipping nephilim males ? and under which sign were ppl saved from the flood ?? remember ??? the rainbow, right ?? so let rainbow-people be, they are to save the earth. we can't all be so colorless and boring as you are.

[sdamron67]

I dont want to sound like i am judging, but it appears that the guy dancing was once gay.?

If this is true, my heart is glad for him that he allowed God to change him, cause no one else can. My hat goes off to him obeying God. Great song. Mathew Ward has one of the Greatest voices there is. I Love everyone just as Jesus does. He died for ALL.

[CatzEyes93]

I have been a follower of Matthew Ward since the first album he sung on with 2nd Chapter of Acts... Rejoice! This is such an inspirational song! Thank you for posting it!

[SENIORDUDE63]

What I think is truly silly is how someone can be so offended by someone they don't believe in. Hmm.

[myshkinyt]

Believing in God is silly.

[robie0788]

To those who believe Christ is the power of salvation, for those who don't it's foolishness. Come be a fool my friend and live forever.

[myshkinyt]

I would decline but it might sound like there was something to decline. All I see is a claim on a computer screen. You might like believing your claim, but so do Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and the insane.

[ChadizzleFoshizzle]

You just won't see it.

[wizard1017]

The song is very nice and mellow...I'm Christian and all but that dance could have been done differently..

[Abalz]

Why?

[spartacus3]

Would Cowboys or Construction Workers be better for you?

[parisreidhead]

@spartacus3 lol

[oldspam]

I love the song and singers but the dance thing was kind of fruity looking.

[ss1utube]

Thanks for sharing ... brings a lot of special memories ... a lot.

[Moffatwv]

Not a fan of interpretive dance, but it's a beautiful song.

[parisreidhead]

@Moffatwv yes the woman is powerful as i know other women just bring the house down in worship , wow ! so powerful, they dance for God like makes you just want to shout out to God a voice of triumph and weep , the men didnt look right to me either , God bless em

[bridgesofavalon]

Peccato che Matthew non abbia cantato da solo senza quel orribile balletto. Poraccio si sarà pure vergognato e tanto. Comunque esiste una traduzione bellissima in italiano di questa canzone.

[verminiocolabruchi]

Condivido pienamente...avrà pensato: ma questi italiani....bah!

[ExploBass]

Perchè hanno scritto "My Redeamer"? Non si scrive "My Reedemer" o sbaglio? Il ballerino non ci azzecca proprio nulla ...eccezionale Matthew...

[verminiocolabruchi]

E quello sarebbe un balletto? Ma che ha le convulsioni quella specie di ballerino? Ma evitatele certe cose....nulla da dire sulla musica, sul solista e sul coro...

[JhonnyDS]

quella specie di ballerino è solamente un maestro etoile borsa di studio al Teatro Bolshoj di Mosca e primo ballerino al teatro San Carlo di Napoli...

[verminiocolabruchi]

Beh mi dispiace ma non si vede...

[ThijsStaal]

huh?

first he's wearing a black shirt, and the next shot he's wearing that grayish/cream thing again??

how is that possible:O

[JhonnyDS]

Lol!

I call it... video editing!

[jmkgraceofgod]

@JhonnyDS now what I really want to understand is how there is both a women's and a separate men's choir. If this is two occasions, how can the song be done with just one or the other?

[elizabethllewis]

@ThijsStaal In regards to the color of his shirt, I believe the problem is that the video cameras were not "white balanced" before the show. They should have all been put to the same settings. Some shots are blown out and some are darker, and that explains the color difference.

[secondbible]

@ThijsStaal because matthew ward can fade to white whenever he wishes

[DULD954]

Sorry, but the dancer is a bit distracting.

I'm sure it was cool in person, but for the video it looks funny in places.

Beautiful song though, and what a song to dance to!

Matt is definitely a worshiper.

[specialross77]

agreed

[1954terry1954]

no offense to the dancer, maybe its my ignorance or something, but i could have lived without the distracting dancer and worshipped just as well listening/meditating on the words.

[harnessbells]

@1954terry1954

I totally disagree. Love the dance. Love this-- all of it. 100% love it.

[heinzpuchi]

this is one of my favorite songs ever, i can't stop listening to it! may God bless you ! ana from romania

[SYLMONFREY]

what a voice and a presence... may he sing until his last breath...

a fan from switzerland

[LutherJordan]

Yes, amen, what a blessing!

LutherJordan from Germany

[ajdicks]

this has to be the best performance matthew has recorded without his sisters. are there any other Christian singers that still have this earnest and understated humility? all of the 80's and 90's CCM singers have really gone downhill.

[Dano853]

RE: the previous post... Okay it took me a minute ...In conversation, many Jewish people will call God "Hashem", which is Hebrew for "the Name".

[batzion07]

this is soooo soul soothing! May Hashem keep you always! Blessed is He for bringing us all closer in His Spirit.

[astorianygirl]

I just adore my brother Matt and his anointed voice as I listened as he exhorts the people of God through singing.

God bless you for your work or I would not have been blessed in this way by Matts worship.

[lifenavigator]

The dancing man is an angel of the the Most High. Art is the expression of the Divine, and Man is God's art. Too bad people (especially some many narrow minded Christians) have to be so hurtful. Where is the love of Christ?

[skyemcleod1]

I love Matt's voice!! I don't think the dancer was needed, really, but it's ok-who cares? Maybe it touched someone's heart...and who cares if he's gay or not?! Grow up!

[bubajim]

I think that people can react emotionally when commenting. It is so easy to type away. This director is doing this once more, putting elements against each other. MW is a great singer. I suddenly wanted to see any and all videos on him. I wish an interview was there. If Matthew liked the dance, I accept...

[Homeschooler7]

What beautiful movement ministry. It's time Christians took back the arts.

[theresonly1king]

Praise the lord for mathew and anyone with him is praising the lord also.

[JhonnyDS]

For all of you... that dancer isn't a gay and he's really a christian! He's a graduated etoile master at "La Scala" theater (Milan) and he's been the first dancer at "Bolshoj" theater in Moscow and at "San Carlo" theater in Naples... it means he's a worldwide level classic dancer... I'm sorry for my english... Thank you for all the compliments, it wasn't hard to splice the 2 video's togheter this way. Bless'up guys

[Ceilticheart]

Your English is just fine!!!

Thanks for posting the MW videos, I used to listen to him and his sisters years ago, and I have always loved his voice!!!

[juddroe]

Thanks for clearing this up for everyone. It is obvious to me this is wonderful worship!!

[jakokoclay]

@JhonnyDS Oh ok ya cuz i was having my doubts on him.

[mozdickson]

@JhonnyDS all i'm seeing is beautiful creative worship, all i'm hearing are beautiful voices, all i'm feeling is the anointing of the Holy Spirit all over this

[hisjedi]

OK...I wanted to hear Matt sing before I went to bed and now I'm going to dream about this tinkerbell guy dancing around Matt...what is up with that?? Matt is always great, but really...

[Basilman72]

Why are speaking so derisively about the man dancing? Why is he a Tinkerbelle? Are you insinuating that he is gay and if he is; what is the big deal? Grow up bigot!

[Grindbomb]

I wonder what you would have called King David when he went singing and dancing through Jerusalem...

[Dano853]

Wow didnt even notice Matt cut his hair.  Thats a first. His music always blesses me

[Dano853]

How did they splice the 2 video's together so seamlessly? Good job. Oh and although I didnt care for the dancing as this was a live vocal performance and they needed more space, do you really think its appropriate to call your brother in the Lord a Fairy? (or anyone else for that matter)

[lucidreamboy]

Thanks Matt Thank you Lord...how beautiful...WOOOO Hallelujah

[petertrast]

The dancing really makes me uncomfortable. I won't say it is wrong but it disturbs me... but I love Matthew's voice

[thejangler]

respectfully, Christians need to appreciate the arts as expressions of creativity. Not just singing--the creative response to what God has done in our lives--let's thank Him that He gives all kinds of gifts, even the ones we don't understand.

[GinoSolo]

I can't believe he would let that fairy boy prance around like a woman during this wonderful song

[secondbible]

@GinoSolo everything better than that he would let a racist like you dance around like a bigot during this wonderful song

[franklinite21]

Great song, great voice, have loved 2nd Chapter for 25 years, saw them probably 10 times, was on a cruise with them in '88, was sort of acquaintances/friends with them in the '80s ... BUT THAT DANCING DUDE MUST EXIT STAGE RIGHT --- IMMEDIATELY. O my gosh!

[hinke1988]

I love matthew ward's music, but that dancer is awful, sorry :|

[morger]

Agreed, tenfold.

[luciadrummer]

no...I like also the dancer...he has a great passion when he dances

[luciadrummer]

I love this song and his voice it remember me the style of stevie wonder...I know that the Lord has saved Matthew by a tumor...The Lord is great and loves as incredibly...Lord Jesus I love so much with all I am...

[secondbible]

@erikwait ask the fairy queen, or the banana king ... oh someone has put open a tin of fairies, help help, police police ... WHO CARES ! LET THEM BE !

[hinke1988]

His voice is really beutiful and the lyrics also!!

I love his music..

[calebadalynn]

I love Matthew Ward's voice. I can't get enough.

[nicfriendly]

where did the jpn7777 matthew ward video -thank you- go?

it's really missed!!!

[tanderson40]

An incredible voice that has humbly served the Lord over the years.

[StofvanEden]

Of all the christian shit going around, Matthew Ward's a positive exeption. Love his voice.
