  • His voice is like butter. and this song still gets stuck in my head every time I hear it...but I'm okay with that :)

  • I've been listening to this for two straight days now. I didn't go to sleep last night because I couldn't get enough of this song. Love it

  • are they a christian band?

  • @Kaeden11 Yes, very much so. They are also Canadian :) Very awesome band. You should totally check them out even if you might not be Christian. They have some great music.

  • awsome

  • My new favorite Christmas song. When I first heard this song, I thought it was Kevin Max from DC Talk singing. Marc has a wonderful voice. I just had to download Downhere's latest CD and got How Many Kings as a bonus.

  • Just one.... :) merry CHRISTmas and happy birthday JESUS

  • I'd like to hear the studio recording of this to hear how the "drums" sound in the mix.

  • Someone give that drummer a cajon! lol

  • love this song no matter how many times i listen to it!

  • His voice gives me chills(=

  • Very nice song. Well played. Great singing. Well done!

  • awsome song

  • The drummer is really going by the book. :) Good video! Thx!

  • That was uplifting to my soul....thank you!

  • 3:02 to 3:05

    OHH DANG

  • I'm not religious, but this song, the way it is sung, the lyrics, the genuine emotion just moves me and gives me chills.

  • @jerichomutant It's the Holy Spirit and not being religious is a good thing! Jesus hated religion.

  • @j77walker Where does it say in the bible that Jesus hated religion? The pharisee's saw themselves better than anyone else. They upheld the law of moses which was good but looked down on everyone else. They twisted the law for their benefit....

    Relgion = the practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith

  • @PeterObi One could deduce from the fact that Jesus placed pretty much all emphasis on "faith" than religion. He doesn't want us to merely ritually observe faith but to walk by it. The fact that someone would antagonistically reply or take offense to my comment shows that some still hold "ritualistic beliefs", and the twisting of "the law", of more value than encouraging someone who has just encountered the Holy Spirit, however briefly. That is Pharisaical and honestly, sickening.

  • @j77walker Additionally, it was just the fact that they saw themselves, the Pharisees, better than anyone else but they took the law and added to it making it about what they could do and less about what HE could, can, and will do. Religion is what we do in "observance" of God, faith is what God does in and through us for His purposes. Example, the lyric of this song.

  • oww.. i liked the drum... LOL

  • Beautiful... 

  • AWSOME!!!!!!!!

    

  • nice music and singer!!

  • Even Jesus wishes he could sing like Marc ; )

  • @jerichomutant Jesus sings better, I'm sure! Marc is incredible, but think where he got his talent from. Yup, Jesus. :D

  • @jerichomutant

    It was Jesus who gave him that voice.....

    It is his power that holds and projects his voice so don't say such a foolish thing.

  • @fenixikkiaries Grow a sense of humor. it was a joke, hence the winky icon. God, even a muslim would have found it funny.....

  • Gran bel brano !

  • Singer is very talented.... just hope dosent Pigeon Hole himself by being in a christian band...........just sayin

  • @eposyba Pigeon hole? This comment is exactly what is wrong with peeps who call themselves Christian. They are too concerned with ones own business instead of being about Gods. I for one love, LOVE, LIfehouse, Switchfoot, and of course Mat Kearney who all have done well while singing Gods praise. Your just sayin makes no sense to those seeking to further the Lords Kingdom. Just sayin...

  • religion is bullshit but this song is a beaut

  • @Schlootah Lol. How can what he is singing about be bs but yet beautiful? Seems that the Lord is reaching peeps with this music.

  • I love Marc's vocals towards the end of the song--just beautiful! He has a God-given talent and I am glad the world will hear more from him and his band.

  • Ever since the audition, I'm listening to this "new" band I found.. I have this song stuck in my head, love it!!

  • AMEN!!!

  • Whoa!! This is amazing

  • don't listen too much to everybody equating your talent to mercury - you've got your own unique and amazing talent. I'm sure you are honoured and humbled by the comparison, but people will also come to recognise your unique and outstanding gift soon. bless!

  • @youknowjustsayin ... Very well said!! 

  • Briercrest Grads!

  • ladies and gentlemens .... THE REINCARNATION OF FREDDY MERCURY .... MARC MARTEL!!!!

  • @Jwolf806 Can you imagine if Freddie had given his life to the Lord in his prime or at any time before his untimely death. How many people could he have helped lead to the Lord??!!

  • @Jwolf806 My sentiments exactly! Marc Martel sounds at lot like Freddie Mercury!

  • @Jwolf806 It should come as no surprise that Marc Martel has won a contest to play the part of the late Freddie Mercury in the 2012 Queen Extravaganza Tour, a grand production celebrating the music of Queen and the classic band's 40th anniversary

  • @Jwolf806 Personally I love Marc Martel more. He has a slightly different quality to his voice. Plus, he sings opera :D

  • I just bought this song on my phone. Love this song..:)

    He has a great voice..God Bless this group..

  • absolutely wonderful! When I first heard this I instantly thought of Freddy Mercury (loved Queen as a kid)! This band is of God however, and the are mightily Blessed. Rock on Christian Soldiers!

  • 105.3 is one of the most idolatrous spiritually dead stations in the northwest; preaching a man-centered, worldly, self reflecting gospel, which is no gospel at all!

  • wow this guy got major chops hes freddie mercury reincarnated

  • @55cabgirl LOL.... He sure does, and he looks a bit like him, too. Weird how people who like alike sound alike and have similar mannerisms and facial expressions. I love, though, that this guy makes music for God's kingdom :-)

  • @LetET2010 thanks for the response I want to learn this song I am a singer who want to get God's message across through music but ofcourse I wont be able to sing it like how he sings it. Any suggesstions??????????? Its beautiful I think to sing for Gods kingdom I agree!~!!!!!!

  • The drummer is very creative at 0:54

  • Downhere's new album, "On the Altar of Love," comes out August 23, 2011. They just recorded a new video about the meaning behind their new album, so you should definitely check it out! Unfortunately I can't add a link to the video, but search for "Downhere EPK" on YouTube. Hope you like it!

  • I played this song at my church for my music' groups participation and God's Holy Spirit was just with us and let us know that he was there with us! Such a beautiful song... Truly how many kings would give up their only son for us, sinners, who aren't worthy of his love or grace and yet HE gave his son as sacrifice for us... Truly God is the only one worthy of Praise and worship!

  • Gosh, they are just as fabulous live!!!! I have a new favourite band...

  • Still AMAZING

  • Watched them inq concert with lincoln brewster in abbotsford bc and was thoroughly impressed

  • what i would give to see these guys in concert. they write the most influential lyrics and have wonderful god given voices.

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song soooo much! The way it transitions between the bridge and the chorus is chilling for me.

  • this song is stuck in my head . im constantly singing this....gives me chill

  • gosh i love his voice. it is so soothing and just so...great. i love this band and this song is amazing.

  • How beautiful! Excellent performance. May God bless these guys!

  • Good Job guys!! God bless you guys on your journeys and continue to walk with Jesus and he will release abundent blessings on you guys. Thank you for an awesome song. Well Done!! Jesus lives!!

  • SPEECHLESS

  • Its funny how people have their opinions about christianity and the church when if they really had any idea what they were talking about they would know that being a christian is about your own personal relationship with Christ not about the man that stands up front and tells you about him those who do wrong will answer for it but its not my job to condemn them I am not the judge and neither are you! I praise God for this song it gives hope and perspective to the one who feels lost Praise God!!!

  • Every dime in the collection plate perpetuates the sex offenderhhood that which is the christian church. The vatican is full of fugitive pedo priests protected from extradition. keep up the good work, whack jobs.

  • @beerggls

    Saying that is like saying every dime of tax money in Germany supports the Nazis, or every dime paid to Shell and Exxon supports drunk driving. Grow a brain and learn the difference between the individual offender and the larger picture.

  • I think the "drum set" was like that because on the radio studio there was not enough space and also he was using the brum as a drum stick, wich is softer.

  • Nice composition thumbsup Praise the Lord

  • Nice composition thumbsup

    Praise the Lord

  • could listen to this all night, wow!

  • man really puts in \perspective how much we owe to our king

  • Lord give me strength to remember, i am tired of feeling so alone.

  • God is so good

  • HAHA a book and a garbage can for drums!, so creative hahaha!

  • LORD GIVE ME STRENGTH

  • @rockinsockin1234 There's a vid on YT of him performing Bohemian Rhapsody.

  • Great Song! Amazing talent

  • This such an awesome song. How many GODS are there? ONLY ONE, OUR LORD JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song! Truly spoken, how many gods did as the one TRUE God?

  • Merry Christmas! Thank you, Jesus!!!!!!

  • This is the best song during Christmas or any other season. Merry Christmas and check out my music covers. MUSICALGCG

  • Downhere writes such inspiring catchy songs, along with a new christian band Red Letter Hymnal. They all have awesome stuff on good old youtube

  • Nice! :D

  • heard this song at church the other day had me in tears. love this song so beautiful.

  • @choogie21

    just heard on tv 5 mins ago for the first time and same here, can you listen to this and not have tears fall.

  • Wow that guy have some amazing chops. He is a mixture between Freddie Mercury, Jared, leto, and Adam Lambert all into one. Ironically, he even looks like Freddie Mercury. I love the song though.

  • He kind of sounds like Phil Wickham.

  • saw them live in June 2010 they were amazing!

  • Amazing how much he can sound like Freddy Mercury of Queen. I'm sure Mercury was given talent to glorify God but tragically missed it. I'm so glad that these guys know their purpose!!! Very Beautiful!!

  • one of those guys wouldnt hapen to be jason germain would they?

  • @rockinsockin1234

    Jason is the keyboard player ...

  • @rockinsockin1234

    he is the keyboard player

  • excellent singing guys...that was sooo impressive...i was blown away....the message was great...just wonderful....God bless

  • This is Awesome!

    

  • his tone is perfect. great voice.

  • Every Messiahmas the world rediscovers this wonderful worship song. For me, this song never looses its power. A clear uplifting presentation of the Gospel.

  • herd this song on my way home from work and each verse truth

  • This song makes me feel grateful for God. i still can't believe that He did all this for us.....

  • Much better than the rendition on the CD which I bought; I had to record this and make an MP3 with it. Thanks for posting!

  • i love this song.

  • ONLY ONE! Mε πολύ αγάπη

  • I like the drum set

  • Fantastic number, great voices !

  • What a great song!

  • Such a appropriate song for Christmas, don't ya think? Jesus is the reason why we celebrate!!! Thank You Jesus!

  • @thescrapperchick Jesus is not the reason we have Christmas. 'Santa Claus', the mythological creation based on a guy who actually existed centuries ago, is the reason we have Christmas. Christ, our LORD and Savior, was not born on Christmas. 

  • @thevaliantcrusader Santa is an anagram of Satan....just sayin'

  • Respond to this video... I don't care for this song, too much 'let me see if I can warble', but the lyrics are nice and befitting of our King and Savior Jesus Christ.

  • wowww, this is awesome, he sounds better live than in the recording...

  • I got to meet Downhere in a small Kansas town about 20 minutes from my town. They were amazing It was my 13th birthday. I don't think i have ever felt that inspired. I have their CD and it's on my i-pod too. while the kids in my class are listening to rap, I listen to the 10X better stuff...DOWNHERE ROCKS!!!

  • This is one of the few seriously talented complete bands out there.

  • Awesome piano Playing wonder if he plays by ear!

  • This song makes me burst into tears everytime I hear it, especially tonight!

  • @kute1livn4jc omg. Im crying. I love you lord please forgive me. look at me and have mercy upon me. clean my wicked heart :'( you are the kind that step from your throne to give up your life you me. Im sorry lord :'(

  • @ErickHernandez23 You are forgiven and loved. I know that is what God has told you in response to this prayer. Bless you. :)

  • @Runnin4Him85 :'( thank u so much. I feel free, to dance to sing, to love. thanks. god bless u greatly =D

  • I have always loved this song since the first time Spirit 105.3 played it on the radio(:

    I also love SPIRIT 105.3! Very encouraging and uplifting(:

  • wow this is the first time i ever here for them and i have fallen in love....May God bless them. They are great.!!

  • OMG, that's the best song ever. I listen to it every Christmas for three years

  • What a great song?! This song has an amazing message. It proves how great our Jesus is when the other religions try to denegrate him,

  • You are singing my new favorite song...YOU ROCK

  • Seen these guys at lifelight. Super job! Never heard of them before the fest. But i am a follower now. And yes Freddie Mercury sound alike is for sure! A+++++++. Keep up the good work fellows.

  • Yes he does sound like Freddie Mercury on quite a few of Downhere's songs. If you want to hear exactly how much like Freddie Mercury he can sound, check out his version of Bohemian Rhapsody on YouTube

  • Fave song by them def and they are great live ive seen them 2 times ginna

    See them again in

    3 days

  • Only ONE! and how I love Him! <3

  • I saw them a few times while living in Nashville.. they are most definitely good! 

  • I like this song. very much

  • very nice!

  • Are we SURE Freddie Mercury didn't have a son?? I'm not so sure now lol

  • @ChelseaRockus I thought the same thing, after seeing their concert.

  • @ChelseaRockus LOL so true! I've thought that for years..never heard anyone who sounded any more like Freddie than Marc...dudes got some pipes :-)

  • the name of Jesus is a source of joy ,of peace ,in his hand he hold happyness

  • discover on god tv ,superb

  • homemade drums ftw

  • I road crewed for them when they came to a local town for a concert. I worked with them all afternoon and evening, and they were just really nice guys. They are great in concert... they sound just like their albums.

  • sounds and kinda looks like the great Freddy Mercury

  • Linda canção, perfeito louvor a nosso Deus

  • this song has blessed me & really made me see what our father has done for us and just how awesome he is. It truly is a blessing to be able to sing his praises beautifully from your heart and use what he has given you because he deserves it. Be blessed (o yeah this song is stuck in my head and thats a good thing) continue to make him proud ( just imagine when you sing... all of heaven stops to listen)

  • Beautiful!

  • Amazing!!!!!

  • 2:28-3:21 is my favorite part of the song... He's got an absolutely AMAZING voice! God bless you!!!!

  • wow!! they are good :) god really blessed their voices

  • What a gifted voice Marc Martel has (they are all great). I just saw in another video that he has had no professional vocal training. Freddy Mercury is one of the artists that he "mimics" as he calls it. I was also very blessed to hear them last night in Toronto with Michael W. Smith

  • just saw them @ Queensway Cathederal. Toronto. They opened for Michael W.Smith. AWESOME.

  • they are blessed with wonderful talent and the voice... heavenly :)

  • this is such a humbling song! i love it thank u guys for being a blessing to me god bless you my brother's!

  • i love this song soooo much! reminds u how blessed we really are!

  • Haha I love his falsetto:) And this song is just off the hook. Jesus Christ did it all for me:)

  • i sang this song for a talent show about two weeks ago.

  • beautiful!

  • he sounds just like freddie mercury

  • Wow he does!

  • @AnnaBerardinelli

    i was thinking the same thing!

  • This song and 'From Protest to Praise' are my favorite songs from Downhere :)

  • I love your music! Praise God for that gift. I once had your A Better Way album stolen out of my car and it saddened me. I did pray that it blessed someone though. THanks for what you do.

  • WOW! WOW! WOW!!! God bless you guys!!! I cant wait to see you live!!!

  • muy buena cancion.

  • There is no greater felling to know we have a LORD and SAVIOR that did this for us. Take it to the ALTAR/CROSS and see the glory of GOD.AMEN

  • the quality and skill they have live just blows me away!!!! They are excellent musicians! Praise God for giving them that skill!

  • Saw them last night IN CONCERT at Capital West Christian Church. YOU GUYS ROCKED!!!
