Michael's now the keyboardist for Point of Grace. Got to hear him sing this song during their concert at Allegheny College on the 2nd. My sister and other girls her age squealed when they heard he was one of the founding members of Avalon. I squealed because this is the only song I really ever seem to know by them. ^_^;; Now, I own this song thanks to iTunes. It's a really great and powerful song. I wish more people would listen to it.
Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Ok, I've loved this song for a long time, and I appreciate the fact that they are obviously putting their hearts into it, but that little dude's moves have GOT to go, because he looks absolutely ridiculous.
A nice song... a powerful song....nice voices...."every simple act of mercy...every step to Kingdom come....all the hope in every heart will speak to what God has done...with every breath I take...I'll give thanks to god above...for as long as I shall live. Iwill testify to love."..Lovely lyrics!! ""Give thanks to God for every act of mercy on the earth!!
Great song, the people of Pensacola FLA. made my church team of Hurricane Relief Volunteers a thank you CD with this song when we worked there after Hurricane Ivan in 2005, nice. And we gained weight they fed us so well, God always provides!
When the one guy sings the low part, it's totally obvious that he's lip synching it because the recording is still going when he stops at around 3:02.
@bkw2g that was michael rapping.. he's in the music background for the rapping. they just sing along with him with that part. other than that gregs really singing live. :)
First heard this one on a video made by the people of New Orleans in gratitude for my church teams work in the area after Hurricane Katrina, liked it then, love it now, good job Avalon!
wow. this song gets 2 me every time. when i find myself angry and bitter at the injustice so common in this world, this song helps bring me back to the whole point of the christian mission, to be the love of jesus amidst injustice! thnx
Yes, I love to sing along. This is one of the few contemporary worship song that I love. I saw them do this song @ KLTY's Celebrate Freedom along with about 100,000 other people one year at South Fork Ranch here in Dallas. It was awesome.
testify to the lord when your gone and your heart ceases to beat you will want jesus to open your casket and take you with him so i testify and will as long as i live!i will
Lol its funny all the dumb asses that think wynonna judds fat ass sings this better! That fat cunt cant sing for shit! She needs to just quit singing and keep eating herself to hell
Avalon needs more recongition, more people could praise the Lord to their music. When giving thanks we shoudl be joyful and so their music is perfect.
Avalon is so AWESOME!! I really so much enjoy watching them in concert!! They put their hearts into their singing--and Jody McBrayer is like THE best male vocalist...EVER!!!!!! Long live the awesome reminders the come alive every time you here Avalon!! God bless each and every one of the superior members of Avalon!! And their children!!! And all those who are watching--may the Spirit touch and change your hearts and bring you closer to the Father!!
Sophiaisaprincess, when I said that Jody has a male/female voice, I meant that he has moments when he sounds like a man singing, and others when he sounds like a woman. I believe the term is androgynous.
my favorite song,my cd player got stolen with song in it,i miss the song,i will record it off of here,and listen on youtube,yahoo,great group and song
I miss Jody. I like Jeremi and he seems to fit in well with the group, however I don't think ANYONE can replace Jody. He was the voice of soul in Avalon. That male/female voice of his was REMARKABLE--a true gift from the Lord Almighty! Hope all is well Jody!!
I saw them for the first time last week on a cruise ship. They have a new member named Jeremy, I think. They are super nice and can sing! Very powerful vocals.
I heard this song awhile back and have seen a couple of the videos online and want to know something. Can anyone tell me How many times they have changed members of the group. I'm just curious. It seems they can definitely hold their own individually which gives them an "AWESOME" SOUND! !
omgsh!!!!!! omo?!!!! every year in my church, we have a thanksgiving night, n the youth groups has performances~ n yrs ago.. we perfomed this song!!! n ive always been trying to find it.. but the prob was that i had no idea hu it was by.. or wat teh name was.. i forgt mst of the lyrics too!! n i askd ppl.. bt they didnt knw wat i was tokin bout.. tch i cnt believe i didn't guess teh name!!! XD YAY!!! finali found it!! thx
read Don't laugh at this! Just do it Start thinking something you really really want cause this is astounding the person that sent this to me said their wish came true 10 mins after they read the mail so I thought what the heck You have just been visited by DrSuess's Cat in the Hat. He will grant you one wish Make your wish when the count down is over 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH Send this to 10 videos within the hour you read this. If you do, your wish will come true
Iv seen them live there are really good and i dont take to alot of that kind of music but ya my X took me and if u ever can see them live you should go they never let down for a great show.
OH MY GOODNESS THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!! I was about 15 when I first heard this song, I held onto the message this song relays with everything I had and it saved me, by God's grace, from some serious dumb mistakes. I'm 22 and its been my hearts song ever since!! God is truly Great. I love you Jesus, You are LORD!
This song is actually what got me into christian music...I love this kind of music now...so much better than rap or any of that kinda stuff that talkes about sin all the time!
Ralph van Manen, one of the original songwrighters for this song, sang this song when he was in Finland a couple of years ago. I personally prefer this song with him singing. This isn't bad though. :)
haha greg is a funny guy. jody is a tremendous singer and aren't janna and melissa precious? god bless each and every one of them. they are awesome people in person.

I have to confess.....when they started singing this I was like "pah, they're not even singing live!"
They are singing live and it's SO GOOD!!!
And the best part: it's not a self-centered ego boosting performance like most music these days - it's actually worship to God.
