Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, Jars of Clay

[kenzeda]

This song means a lot to me, I was on christian teen camp retreat in the middle of a seclulded camp, very cold out and we had to walk from place to place :). It was an awesome experience with the most fun i've had but also amazing sessions. we song this song there and it changed my heart, this song is so touching and amazing and speaks the truth, oh Lord change my sinfull heart! also Jars Of Clay brings back amazing memories <3

[beanscot]

@kenzeda Thank you for sharing your testimony.

[Catherine342]

One of my favorite songs. Looks like some of this was shot in Houston....at least the waterwall. Cool. :)

[beanscot]

@Catherine342 Thanks for commenting.

[africanbrotha1]

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

Prone to leave the God I love;

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,

Seal it for Thy courts above!!!

I love this bit the most. It's me right there.

[beanscot]

@africanbrotha1 It's good. Thanks for commenting.

[dbofabolous1]

@beanscot

[KeybladePirate]

@africanbrotha1 Yeah, i think that's the climax for most of us alright! :)

[dbofabolous1]

@africanbrotha1 great lyrics

[syllviakay]

what is a fetter?

[beanscot]

@syllviakay Something that binds or constrains. Thanks for asking!

[jnf177]

One of my favorite worship songs!

[beanscot]

@jnf177 Terrific! Thanks for commenting!

[beanscot]

@iloveGod313 I'm glad you love it. Thank you for commenting.

It was almost summer, and my whole town usually goes to the pool EVERY day of summer. I went to the pool the weekend before school was out, and honestly, I almost "left the Lord I love". I felt like I was content at the pool with all my friends and ladies walking around. But come Tuesday it was K-life, ( A church like group for teens) and they played this song and that verse hit that the bigjc mentioned. Helped me realize what was happening and catch my mistake. I grew that summer. Praise God!

[beanscot]

@MinorCheese777 Praise God, indeed!  Thanks for commenting.

[DannyMac100]

Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee. This is my prayer

[beanscot]

@DannyMac100 Thank you for commenting. It's a good prayer.

[msljyoung]

Beautiful song. Thanks for posting.

[beanscot]

@msljyoung You're welcome.

[odiousj]

This song is so powerful for me. When we sang it at services, I wept. I have a copy of the lyrics on my desk at work. A beautiful song.

[beanscot]

@odiousj Thank you for commenting. I agree. It is beautiful.

[thebigjc37]

If it wasn't for this song I wouldn't be where I am today. I almost left the God I love, just like that one verse stated. Prone to wonder, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.

[beanscot]

@thebigjc37 Thank you for testifying for the God you love.

[chrisylle91313]

@thebigjc37

Thank God for this song :)

[awaitthegroom]

no doubt you know fernandos version- I like that the best

[beanscot]

@awaitthegroom You must mean Fernando Ortega.  I like his music very much but his record company restricts youtube uploads.

[elegantKatE]

love this song

[beanscot]

@elegantKatE Thanks for commenting!

[Stinkko]

Give Him Your WHOLE SELF!

[longtreebeard]

prone to wander lord i feel it

[Bruce99100]

HE is ny life my reason for being my ONE and ONLY

[beanscot]

@Bruce99100 Thank you for your comment.

[rmsamuels]

Thank You JESUS for sheding your BLOOD for a sinner like me.

[beanscot]

@rmsamuels Amen.

[rmsamuels]

@rmsamuels Jesus went to the cross not for anything he as done but for my sins.

[dtimmyo]

8 people need to feel the love of Christ

[beanscot]

@dtimmyo Love in the name of Jesus. Be His feet on the ground. More than 8 people will then feel the love of Christ.

[akkalove1]

@beanscot That was a very good comment!

[beanscot]

@akkalove1 Thank you. As it has been said, we live for Him who died for us.

[babyrurt]

[sparkel0079]

Wow, I just love this song! David Crowder Band version aways makes me cry! We love you Lord \o/

[beanscot]

@sparkel0079 Thanks for commenting. : )

[ayoung70]

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH just love this song...its amazing...every thought or moment I have had....

[Sojourneer]

Love this. Just wish there was less of the whitey Jesus images (and I'm a whitey).

[Bassplayer427]

I wish they sang the 2nd verse. That's probably my favorite. I love the Supertones version just because they have the 2nd verse in there.

[beanscot]

@Bassplayer427 Yes, the second verse is wonderful. Thank you for suggesting another version.

[quiltndeb]

Wikipedia has a nice article on the history of this song and it's MANY different versions.

[beanscot]

@quiltndeb Thank you. I just read the wikipedia reference.

[candy7600can]

WHY LEAVE OUT THE MAIN WORDS? THE BLOOD IS LEFT OUT AND ALSO JESUS' NAME IS LEFT OUT!

[beanscot]

@candy7600canHere I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood.

[candy7600can]

@beanscot

I know its in the original words but wywould these grous and choirs skip the evrse with Jesus' name? even the mormon choir leaves it out. and i stll cant hear it in this version. here must e a reason why it is no longr there. why would any nremove the name of Jesus?

[beanscot]

@candy7600can I wouldn't read too much into it. It may be because the word Ebenezer can cause so much confusion, since most people associate it with the character of Ebenezer Scrooge. I believe it is still clear from the verses that they do sing that the song is about Jesus. Yes, His name and His blood is precious.

[nysrac]

@candy7600can Mormon Tabernacle doesn't leave it out. I think it's the third verse when they say "Jesus sought me when a stranger" which is in correlation with one of the most commonly used lyrical versions of the song.

[Jacoby340]

Mooi lied en prachtig gezongen!

[MidgetMadness0]

kind of zoomed in on alot of pictures ehh? good song though. thank you for posting it, i can't find another version like this on youtube.

[beanscot]

@MidgetMadness0 I know what you mean. . . It was one of the first videos I made. Do I get a learning curve? : ) I'm glad you like the song.

[CharlesLBarrettII]

LOVE IT!!!

[beanscot]

@CharlesLBarrettII Thanks!

[solis087]

I LOVE that song. Our APs sang this version at the last talent show. It was beautiful!

[beanscot]

@solis087 That's wonderful! Thanks for commenting!

[vmaniac13]

lov it

[beanscot]

@vmaniac13 Thanks! : )

[cootercat486]

This was my grandmother's favorite song, and she was Holiness Pentecostal. I just love it and will sing it with her in heaven some day!

[beanscot]

@cootercat486 That will be glorious! : )

[n2pubes]

@cootercat486 for the record, you need not wait to sing this for your grandma in Heaven...you can do it NOW, keep it playing in your heart, and mind. She not only will hear you, but is standing right with you as u keep this song in your heart and mind, and thought.

i tear up everytime i play this hymn. the 75th anniverary of MTC on PBS, catured their best ever ever rendition of COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING.

[cootercat486]

@n2pubes YOU just warmed my heart and made my day...thank you so much!

[555sonicfangirly]

I love this song... It's so warming...

I'm mormon by the way! =)

[solis087]

@555sonicfangirly So am I :)

[john146only]

One of those rare songs that melts you from with in...bring back the content of the hymns, ditch the paino, let the comtempos sing the songs.

[Lindajo1955]

Beautiful

[beanscot]

Thank you!

[sapphirefuschia]

[beanscot]

Yes, it is for God.

[Cathryn4Christ]

Dan Haseltine could sing the phone book and I'd love it. :) Thanks for sharing this one! Do you know what cd it's on?

[beanscot]

It's from their "City On A Hill" CD. Thanks for asking and commenting! : )

[trifleobscure]

city on a hill CD? woah not heard of that one before! ... extra new? extra extra old, so old that i havent heard of it :O? bonus CD? aww i thought i'd discovered everything there was to jars. ;)

[sarcasm0spasm]

City on a Hill is actually one of those collection CD's with various artists.

[MrMossrun]

I agree, Just right but would have loved the other verse.

[aznpunk91]

I love these old hymns. =D

[beanscot]

I do too! Thanks for commenting!

[goldfish09]

I think his voice is perfectly matched to this song, but he should have sung the whole thing.

[beanscot]

I agree about his voice, but I hope he didn't leave out your favorite verse.

[MrMossrun]

Listening to this on my holiday in Canada transformed my time there.

[beanscot]

In a good way, I hope! : )

[70ayoung]

One of THEE best songs ever written

[beanscot]

Thanks for commenting!

[guitargoddessringo]

the song is good, not a fan of the video. too much panning-in-one-direction, that got old.

[beanscot]

Thanks for commenting.

[augustgirl56]

Love listening to the old hymns, this is a great one, thanks for posting it.

[beanscot]

You're welcome!

[waterboy4546]

i watched this video the other day and the song was stuck in my head the whole day......

Thanks

[beanscot]

You're welcome.

[donnakoster]

what a beautiful hymn....i love this one

[beanscot]

I agree. It is a beautiful hymn. Thanks for commenting.

[slh1357072]

Good Job!

[beanscot]

Thank you!

[Saqua2284]

Thank you beanscot, I bless you this is my favorite hymn, this debtor thanks you, and God who made you, bless you my friend.

[beanscot]

To God be the glory! May He bless you as well.

[DigiFoxCat]

This is one of my favorite versons of my favorite Hymn!

[beanscot]

Great! Thanks for that comment!

[mountainheap]

Ever heard Sufjan Stevens version of this hymn? It's really worth checking out! :)

[decimaquinta69]

Ottimo

[beanscot]

Thank you

[lovinwisconsin]

Love it!

[beanscot]

Thanks!

[hDurham31]

My favorite hymn...My favorite band... Greatest colab in the world by far.

[beanscot]

Thanks for the comment!

[bubblels0374]

this is truley a beautiful song. i love it! great job and God bless.

[beanscot]

Thank you. God bless you also.

[ChrisXMetal]

Jars of Clay manage to have some of the best renditions of the old hymns, this one is no different. Thanks for posting!

[beanscot]

You're welcome!

[YALEQUEEN]

this song makes me cry every time. It reminds me of the greatest day of my life, the day I gave my heart and soul over to my Jesus.

[beanscot]

Thanks for sharing your testimony.

[IcyFrozenWaffles]

Why would I not follow One who claims such authority! Now other religion can claim that and no other religion gives grace that was given to us by One who gave His life for us! Religion produces bondage because of works.

[jennabeanski]

Tune my heart to sing thy grace

[beanscot]

Amen and Amen.

[Jamel012007]

i love this song,it reminds me of my mission...we sung this in conferences.

[linfordjohn]

1:05 is so pretty. Where is it?

[beanscot]

Yes that is pretty. I'm not sure where it is though. I found that picture on photobucket. Thanks for asking!

[Bigfurry1975]

It's great to know that these great hymns of the faith still live on. This proves that God is eternal, because anything else will just fade away if not based on what His precious son Christ Jesus did for us at Calvary!!!

[LastTraininStation]

Yes, He did!

[Queensly621]

Cause that's what every one of his disciples did. Why else would they die for their beliefs unless they were absolutely convinced that they were true? I can't get over that. and thus, christian I am.

[Queensly621]

Take this for what it's worth, but i believe in truth. truth which isn't relative. I find this truth in christianity, but if truth was in a different religion i would believe in that. And as for fearing death, i would rather have hope than fear, and heaven is a free gift not something to be worked for. i'm not trying to shove religion down anyone's throat... i think that is one of the most UN-christian-like things a christian can do. but have you ever believed in something you would die for?

[101zazza]

this is a great song a great worship song

[beanscot]

Thank for commenting!

[CmRoddy]

So I sat at my computer this morning and I searched the lyrics and piano chords for this song. I got it and started singing it to myself with no piano and I broke down and cried.

Praise be to God for sending His grace to the undeserving creation!

[beanscot]

Thank you for sharing.

[vanessa611730]

This one of many great worship songs, great job on the video.

[beanscot]

[Captain077]

I just downloaded this song from iTunes and I love it. Any idea who the original song writer is who wrote this. Though stating the obvious, whoever it was, was inspired and new Gods love.

[fuzikea]

What record is this on?

[wasbedeutetjemanden]

Ooh! I like this version! :-) Great pics too!....

You wouldn't happen to have "All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly," would you? I haven't found that anywhere yet...

[beanscot]

No, I don't. Maybe I should look into it. : )

[Dedicednu]

I love this song!

[beanscot]

[daloser09]

God knows how long i have been away from my God....my Father.....my dad. This song not only helps me to relax, it also helps me to thank God for not turnin his back on me whenever times for me got rough. How he held me in his arms and never let go. Thank you for showing the youtube world just how awesome and loving our God can be. Thank you.

[beanscot]

You're so welcome! God loves you, as His very own precious child. I know because this is how He loves me too.

[papermason]

We are prone to wander away from Him, but He's there, as near as our next heart beat. I appreciate your posting of this lovely video. It's a reminder of how faithful and loving our dear Lord is. Thank you.
