Shawn McDonald: Take My Hand

[SintyB]

Love it!!

[debravalley]

please does anyone know the title of the album this song is in?

[1kahnefan9]

@debravalley Simply Nothing (his debut album)

[debravalley]

@1kahnefan9 Thank you!!!!

[neosmith15]

I honestly hate Christian rap, rock, any genre, even though I'm a Christian myself. They always sound the exact same, and the lyrics aren't creative at all. This is the first Christian song I've liked in over 5 years.

[2105SJ]

my fav song!!.. :D

[kyliee420]

I usually dont like christian music but I love this songg, yay.

amen

[MsRobertLuiz]

I Love this song!!!!

[Jujubee1101]

I first heard Shawn a couple of years ago. He is one of my favorites. Haven't heard one of his songs yet that I don't love. When I meet people Christian and non Christian I want them to know about his music.

[mjjmrock]

Must be in a tough place to dislike this song

[TiffanyAlaine]

love this song!! best Christian song so far that ive heard(:

[preese520]

I love this song!!! Its my wake up song!!

[nomibells31]

I heard shawn mcdonalds song captivated one day and i automatically fell in love with shawn mcdonald and was soooooooooo happy that i got his cd-roots-for christmas in 2008.... i still have it and listen to it all the time

[NickzEffectz]

Amen

[RayTheSinger1]

I love this song. But the description is off. This song is not from God's point of view. It's Shawn McDonald admitting to God that he needs Him. He is asking Him to guide him.

[jccoppage]

Great song, I like the super fast live version best :)

[TheWildmanNate]

JESUS! WERE COMING HOME SOON!!!

[DaveJudson]

thumbs up if you heard this song then picked your brain later on youtube to try remember the name of the song..

[luigis9692]

right on.jesus is where its at haha

[welcomegohome]

I listen to this song once in a rare while, but EVERY TIME... I shed tears. I'm not going to accredit this wonderful feeling to superstitious beliefs, but this song gives me faith in everything, and makes me realize how much everyone in my life matters to me and how much I love them all. Girlfriend, friends, family and dog. The teachings of Jesus are great; about guidance, kindness, love for thy neighbor(TOLERANCE), and charity, but mortals throughout history have distorted them.

[dr191982]

Very good this song, the path is the same.

[floorgang]

This is my new favorite song! 

[missannapyle]

i've been trying to find this song for 2 years! .. (:

[vintage816]

what a great song ! what a great great great great song !!!!!

[ctofpi50]

man I heard this song back when I was in 7th grad in '05 and I finally found it! I love it, it brings back so many memories!!

[blueeyefelon]

most amazing lyrics ive heard all my life by far the very best

[RuthlessBrute]

I'm not even religious but this song is awesome.!

[lovelydarling21]

God, you know im struggling... Im losing my faith in you.. please hear me.. I NEED YOU!

[SalvationAD33]

I love this soong soo much!! thanks for posting, great sound quality!

[DeeJaythirteen13]

I KNOW THIS SONG BY HEART<3 1ST HEARD IT AT CAMP AND BECAME OBSESSED FROM THERE :D

[girlz321]

This clearly deserves at least 1 mil. views.

[TheGhostsSoul]

This is a really good song. But I was looking for a song that goes "You know you have my heart in your hands, you know you have my heart, so don't, don't let it goo." Does anyone know what song that is?

[ryanjames0404]

@TheGhostsSoul That song is by New Found Glory. The song is called "Too Good To Be". It's a great song, isn't it? New Found Glory is my favorite band.

[karolgadelhajb]

Perfect's song ...

[katzgal897]

@SpeakwithGod Pretending to be god isn't good dude, And this song is Not from gods perspective, Its from the Sinners.

[hypocrits61877]

@katzgal897 Your as about as dumb as they come this has a great message Praise Jesus!!!!!!!!!!

[10thavenuenorthfan]

love dis song

[southtexasdeath]

more music like this i think =)

[Gomenred]

Felt the unnecesary need to comment on this song well bottom line its a great song not really in to the whole god thing but the upbeat rythm and his tone of singing really just makes this song...i dont even know what to say for that anyway its a great song for really anyone well unless your mot into pop esque music

[feelingsongs]

amazing!

[mikeyume1]

i want you to have my life jesus. thats what is important. what a great song.

[phylton]

I mean, if you take the "Lord" and "Jesus" parts and use it as an interjection instead of a vocative this song can be about pretty much anything. A woman/man you love and need, a relative, your mother, your father. Anyone you love at all.

[stewartlittleiscool]

@phylton True, only that man/woman, relative, father/mother are still only human and can let us down at one time or another, but God is the Faithful One, He alone can fill/satisfy/meet our every need....and leave us with peace and joy no matter what we are going through....

[phylton]

I'm an atheist but I found this song very amusing. It's great to listen while you're relaxing or doing nothing at all.

I shouldn't be saying I'm an atheist, as it had anything to do with music, but whathever...

[samanthamom777]

@phylton gods arms are all ways open you be a fool not to accept his love .Put it like this your on a sinking boat and some one comes to you to the rescue. arent you going to take his hand and save your self ? this whole world is a sinking ship and god is our only reffuge ,it's only by his grace that we are forgiven not by works so no matter how hard we try to be perfect you cant . so just forget it . learn litle more a bout god

[TylerDaves101]

i love this song it makes me realize how much i need God in my life

[NothingEverything1]

crazy good

[DaBell109]

I love it :D

[legittothemax217]

great song.. its amazing

[joshisleet123]

FINALLY I FIND THIS SONG. i heard it once on the radio and it was stuck in my head forever!

[debravalley]

@joshisleet123 me too!!!!!!!! spent months searching. so glad i found it today

[Woofwoofization]

I love this song.... it is my most favorite song of all time... I have listened to it about five times already. And it's exactly how I feel a lot of the time.

[TheMarsVo1ta]

I'm an athiest and I think your religion is fucken retarded

but I LOVE JESUS!!!!

great song

[Gracefacexp]

@TheMarsVo1ta Oviously you dnt realy know what athiest means dude.

[kdai2012]

@TheMarsVo1ta

Dude, you realize Athiest means no relegion? No God, No Jesus, No Satan, Nothing?

[TheMarsVo1ta]

@kdai2012 No just the first three proposed.

[hondaracer3004]

to me god is what ever you want to make it. I dont believe in god call me lost or whatever you want we are all lost in our journey(life) even if you don think so just because you saw the light or that god saved me that's cool but just because you believe in something doesn't mean you need to rain on other peoples parade just because they don't believe in what you believe so to me this is a great song except for the jesus and god parts but, it has good meaning if you look at it in your own way.

[dwwhinery]

@hondaracer3004 quit raining on our Jesus parade.

[Gracefacexp]

@hondaracer3004 Cool for being honest..You will find out on your own one day..

[gusterco]

great song.

can't help but be happy and in a good mood after listening to this.

-atheist

[Jesuslover5662]

@gusterco you see what a little sound of heavenly music does, you'll see soon Jesus will become your everyday happiness. You made my day :)

[TheBLOODBONDED]

@gusterco that good feeling you feel is God my friend

-Christian

[preese520]

@TheBLOODBONDED I was getting ready to write the same thing and saw your reply. Amen

[TaleWagDog]

@gusterco Hes talking to Jesus, and so can you.

[XegoTheNinja]

@speakwithgod This song is not from God's perspective. Also you pretending to be God isn't good dude.

[bnawesome]

I need you. (:

[Greenerthanblue2U]

I love this song, tho i'm not chrstian and do not believe in god I get what you mean.

[imaloud1]

@Greenerthanblue2U God believes in you

[jordyjoe]

i first thought he was talking about a girl but i nevever needed a girl more than the lord

[Deboragadita12]

AMO ESSA MÚSICAAA ..NÃO CANÇO DE OUVIRRR........

[michellejoie27]

yes Lord,we need you.,.

[delquie]

@reddiomond3 you should take the lyrics into consideration... lord is everything. we are here for him and by him and we need him and his love.

[reddiomond31]

I just like the beat...

[dragonsandtails]

This his always been the song to my life since I was in 7th grade, it brought tears to my eyes and brought me peace when I needed it.

[gameover254286]

Fantastic song, amen

[beAbubblyblonde]

what genre is thiss???

[DJTmaq]

@beAbubblyblonde it's christian. or gospel music. but probably what you're looking to hear is rock.

[kingkillr124]

@DJTmaq

don't try to turn her off of it, give her some other suggestions she's heard!

[DJTmaq]

@kingkillr124, good thinking you! i didn't think about that.

[kingkillr124]

@beAbubblyblonde

it's contemporary christian, there's a couple songs you've probably heard by needtobreathe, like: Lay 'Em Down. David Crowder band is really good too if you like this

[jake141296]

cool song, my fav song in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timc108]

I love this song so much!

[pfft310]

this is one of my fave songs :D

[pfft310]

is any1 else getting frustrated at the constant bickering that goes on between christians or so-called christians on every youtube video that has reference to God? nowhere does it say in the bible that arguing is the way 2 change someones mind...come on guys...what kind of message are we sending to those who have not yet accepted Jesus?

(and yes i have an opinion on the topic of the argument, im just going to refrain from saying it or i will be a tad of a hypocrite :P)

[mikkelfs92]

I dont really care wether or not its about god or just the fact that humans need each other.. but this is amazing

[iRedrubi]

I like his style and awesome way submit to Jesus...I love the part where he sings have my life Jesus...gives me chills love it!

[GlaciatedHeart]

I remember when i was obsessed with this song. It was so different from anything else that was playing. I still love it even now. 2 years later

[annasophiabebe]

it also doesn't say to not do drugs or any other of those frequently asked questions,

But thats why we have the holy spirit to convict us for the things that may come from our mouths. swearing is one of them. i know that when i ocassionaly slip a bad word i feel horrible and then i receive conviction from the holy spirit. And plus, if we were called to be a holy people which holy means to be set apart, by swearing aren't we being like those of the world when we swear?

[darkyoda1212]

Fuck that shit

[MissLaLaLovesyou]

im in love with this song. Its beautiful in every way possible.

[jeskabaybii09]

god is amazingg <3 i love this songg

[Gunzaugin]

Listen to the song and enjoy.

[Gunzaugin]

Come on guys. Don't shove the bible down each others throats. Just

[statuscrow300]

loves this song its different

[Biia531]

essa musica eh marahhh!!! o/

[xXsamiraalijaXx]

[narutobleachfer]

L0vE tHiS s0nG

[sk8rockdefined]

actually you are my high, it DOES say to refrain from using foul language. in those exact words actually. haha. it also says do not doanything that might hinder someone from coming to christ, and "cussing" is usually considered hypocritical for a christian to do..haha.

[benji9871]

Can you point me to the the verse where the Bible says to "refrain from using foul language" in those exact words? Ok ok I wont take you literally. Where does it say that cussing is wrong? May I point out that you reference standing in the way of someone coming to Christ, yet the tone and voice of your comment is condescending and almost sarcastic with the "haha"s. I know many people who avoid christian groups because of attitudes like yours.

[zachRG90]

it does say not to use foul language and to let nothing unclean come from you, i agree with you about the guy's attitude but it does say nt to swear in the bible

[greekyfreeky]

Ephesians 4:29 (New International Version) 29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

In other words, refrain from using foul language..

[zhouy13]

@benji9871

bro think about this. How can ur tongue used to praise god at the same time where foul things come out too. Ur tongue should be holy like a temple and not foul. tats y christian dun curse.:D

[emkayMK222]

love this song!

[BruinAtHart87]

I love listening to this song after a bad day. It just brings back into mind what God can actually do.

Thank God for all he has blessed us with, and never, ever take it for granted.

Ever.

[thumb5butterscoch]

you should always turn to GOD HES THE ANSWER TO YOUR LIFE HE MADE YOU AMEN !!!!!!!!

[jacckeliine]

Gosto muito desta música!

Uma das melhores = ]

[liljroxs]

wicked songgggggg :D

[ganjababe15]

haha. it's not like god invented cuss words though... people made those up themselves :P

[Tweakedunique]

I'm not really religious at all, but i love this song! It's very well done! :)

[Sillyguyy1]

very good song gotta love it =)

[berrylagvsu]

hits you at the core. can't wait for shawn to have more songs. thanks for these :)

[chocolaterifle]

really good song. :)

I enjoy singing along with it!

[youaremyxhigh]

love this song. it makes me sad that people would put thumbs down on NoPoPunk's comment, though. why?? because he/she cussed? that doesn't make him/her any less of a christian. jesus wouldn't judge :P

[gauge421]

I think it has to do with the fact that he/she had the opportunity to look over the comment before posting it, yet still left the cuss there. It gives a bad impression to non-christians. It almost sounds as though it's okay to cuss. I understand that Jesus forgives us, but that doesn't mean we keep doing it regardless. We try to initiate some self-control.

[acherry8308]

It says in the bible that we shouldn't swear... just saying.

:)

[youaremyxhigh]

would you mind giving me a verse? maybe it would change my mind.

[thebeastwithoutpants]

James 3:9-12

pretty cut and dried

[youaremyxhigh]

technically that says not to curse OTHERS. it doesn't say not to use "foul" language. a word is just a word unless you put meaning behind it, in which case it becomes unholy.

[gauge421]

Firstly, great song and great meaning. Shawn truly sings from his inner soul and most all christians can relate! Good stuff. It is awkward to me for the person who posted this to speak from God's perspective, especially when this song isn't from God's perspective. It's from OUR perspective. We want God to take US to the promised land, etc. Great song.

[NoPoPunk]

so F*cking great! No wonder I'm a punk Jesus Freak! THANK YOU Shawn McD!!

[xXawkwardsilenceXx]

I love Shawn McDonald - all of his music, all of his messages - relate to a new generation and connect us with God. Thank you.

[cutiemimi143]

so goood!

[koolcat67]

This song holds the inherent truth behind living a christian life. It's sometimes easy to forget how much we actually need God for all aspects of christian living. "Fall to my knees and I'm begging you please..." haha I really dig this song.

[Riana718]

Great Song. Lord I know that I need you ♥

[Sweetyshrimp]

WOOO U rock!

[sc02929]

amazing and so true

[beantownboy90]

amazing song

[SpetsnazChaplain157]

Sounds wierd... but still good!!

[Papatrance]

der sieht aus wie adrian

[4evr2btru]

love this song!!! were doing it for this one thingy at my church :)

[teamtwilightfan]

♥♥♥♥ beautiful

[MenOnToasty]

best song he's ever done, the others are naff

[hottfootballplayer]

I have a question. Hoe many times will Jesus forgive you for the same sin? please coment my page on answer me.

[dodo2612000]

he's gonna forgive u all the times, as long u don't do it anymore.. if u do it again, and pray for forgiveness and you're serious he's gonna forgive you.

but of course you don't have to pray for forgiveness if u already know, you do the same thing again.

[Jesuslover5662]

@hottfootballplayer everytime u ask for forgiveness from the heart. But it doesnt mean theres no consequences.

[JoannaOjastu]

Simply adorable!! :)

[sandiepuppy134]

this is the best song ever! it rocks and is so simple!

[WildKittie13]

this song is so lovely xD

thanks D for introducing me to this great music :)

[lily350]

i love this song.

[KrnGuitarPlayer]

Nice!!!
