[missaliciasunshine]

@ammaled I saw it too. It was in Jacksonville at New Covenant Ministries.

[ammaled]

I saw them do this and  the rain @ McFarland Auditorium or was it in Jacksonville @ New Covenant Ministries.

[blu9912]

Saw Rich and the band do this the first time I saw them in HS. Then later on they turned off all the lights in the sanctuary and we made it "rain" with nothing but our hands. It was an amazing night. Miss Rich tremendously!!!!

[dmksigns2011]

I have seen them do this and really enjoyed it then and now!

[Ktrumps]

Such a great piece of a capella - love it!!

[halo3doomsday]

sound seems off a bit, but nonetheless it's a great song.

[mygrassizblu]

our youth group was kicked out of Wendys more than once for doing this! thay just have the best cups!!

[urbff2]

I had a blast performing this on stage with him at CIY back in the 80s. He is missed!

[robatrhema]

@urbff2 officially jealous

[biblthmp]

I miss Rich so much, my heart cries in agony, I miss him so much.

[not2brightDOTcom]

I can't chew bubble gum and walk. These guys are way cool. I MISS Mullins!

[iammick66]

@not2brightDOTcom

I miss him too, but he's where he really has always wanted to be.... ........with his Lord.

[wjpemt]

Just plain..WOW. lol. I love this song!

[livelygranny4Jesus]

studying through James on Thursday...This is so GOD!!! <3 WOW!!! i stand humbled and O, so amazed...pray this blesses my FB Family <3

[AliienInsider]

That's awesome!! I play the clap game like that with my friends and he put it to a Christian song!! Legit :D

[altoyou1]

without a doubt, the best video on this site!

[cyoobist]

He's like my inspiration, he's paartly the reason I'm going to Guatemala to be a missionary. God bless Rich!

[tray74]

Can you imagine Rich doing this in heaven with such greats as Dana Key, Keith Green and Mark Heard? I'll bet Jesus is in on it, too!

[armymanmechanic]

Oh WOW! I remember this cup routine taking over in youth Group! lol! I remember working on it with my brother mark! Ha ha! And the song of course we all went crazy over it! It's taken from the book of James chapter 2.... Faith Without Works! Its DEAD! Awsesome memories! I miss christians like Rich...Keith Green. TThe ones that remain are still here for a reason. But the ones that are gone left an incredible impact. Were are the ones taking their place? Time is short...Melody

[billtalentfreak202]

Oh my goodness. Rich Mullins is SO COOL! He's such an original Christian artist. I grew up with his music.

RIP Rich Mullins. We will miss you.

[riazid]

Concert memory...wish he was alive still. Guess he's performing in heaven these days!

[angelteri007]

i saw this in a little church close by when i was a teenager it was truly awesome he was an awesome guy!!

[DuckiePray]

We got to learn this routine in Masters Commission...it took me DAYS of practice on my own to get the correct pattern down. Now it comes so easily I don't even have to think about it.

[Jartean197]

That is the coolest thing EVER!!

[777archangeI777]

A Christian Soldier cut down to early in his Prime.. Deeply Missed...

[scooberp]

NOBODY could play the hammered dulcifer like Rich!!!

[MidnightWolfe1]

i love this one i wish he was still around

[speedymarathon]

Legendary indeed!

[amystreasures]

I love this song! I didn't know it was a Mullens song. I'm dating myself here, but we used to sing this at camp, back in the 80s! great memories!

[cryaloud1611]

silly hippies

[Deetviper]

I've never seen the cups thing used along to a song - it's really, really cool!

[farmgirlisa]

Wow-memories! Thanks for sharing this! Saw Rich in concert in the mid-90's.... his music had a profound influence on my life & faith.

[steelguitarboy]

A missed voice.

[56red5656]

AMAZING!!!!!

[noobking73]

this was sick !!!!

[cathikin]

I didn't really expect to find a video of this live. I am so glad to see it! Legendary. Brings back some good memories. Thanks!

[bjsVideos]

Okay, I just heard this song on a Rich Mullins cd I pulled out (had forgotten it was his song)... then Googled it and found this cup thing... These guys are awesome!!! I love this accompaniment!

[BigDumbNerd]

Good God.

Literally.

I was blessed enough to see him on that tour when he came through my town. It will forever be in the top 10 moments of my entire life. I was just 12 years old. I'm almost 25 and he is still my favorite musician/performer/songwriter of all time.

Thanks so much for the video. It put a smile on my face, for sure.

[VeroVineyard]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time...I really miss Rich. Think of all the beautiful music he's making in heaven!

[intageous]

met rich once! circa 1992. no shoes..t-shirt...lol. i was 19. i wanted to be a musician more than anything. I asked him for advice. He told me to be God's. Belong to God. in 1997, i was working in a cd store when i leatned of his death. i nearly fell to the ground. i remember his words though. Im not much of a musician...but i belong to God. Does anyting else really matter?

[JulieJackson1]

What fantastic advice. I'm not much of a musician either, but I'd like to think that I belong to God too!

One regret I have, is that I decided not to travel to see Rich, as it seemed a long way from Sheffield to London, England. A few months later, he was dead. Now I'll have to wait for eternity to meet him. Rest in peace Rich.

[bobbyandretti]

saw this live it was awesome, it was the best concert i ever saw!!!

[kleuzi]

Got to do this with the band back in 91 in Spoken, WA. Our local station in Sandpoint, ID had a Sunday night Christian program. The DJ was a friend of mine and invited a few of us to go to a concert. I had never heard of Rich Mullins before that. We got there early and needed to use the bathroom. When I came out my friends were talking to Rich and the band. We ended up having Spaghetti dinner with then and they set us in the front row. The best concert I have ever been to in my life.

[bobbyandretti]

ya i saw him in florida, but didn't get to eat with him though, he always played in concert without any shoes on!!

it was his trademark and him and the ragamuffins where always friendly and open and honest!!!

[MAMAJANE4JC]

It brings back such good memories to see this! And to know that Eric and Mitch are married and daddies and all that...way to go, Kid Brothers! Got to see them at the last retreat Alyssa and Dave did in Dallas, that was years ago. We'll be seeing Rich again in the New Jerusalem.

[zpdixon]

I started watching that and thought it was some sort of drinking game. I didn't know it was a just song, heh :)

[CindyE041464]

Yep it's a great song. Rich Mullins was a very gifted man. So many godly songs coming out of 1 man and everybody gets blessed. Another awesome thing about him was he never knew the amount of money he made which I am sure was in the hundreds of millions. But every quarter he got paid from his record company it went to his church and he had them give him a check for whatever an average working man would get. He never cared about material things or money-it was all about the Glory of God.I miss him

[steffers27]

That was fun!

[TheHeartofArt]

I never knew He did this to this song pretty cool I look forward to meeting him someday at the banquet table be blessed

[Michelle062970]

embarrassing question here. we just saw mitch last night in joliet, illinois. Is that him 2nd from the left? I took my kids to see Mitch and wanted to show them videos of Rich. Rich went to be with the Lord when I was pregnant with my son (who is now 10-I also have a daughter who is 8)

(Ironically, I know the guy next to Rich, he is a long time friend of my Pastor-Lary Dean. I believe his name is Mark Robertson?)

[1Samuel1224]

This brings back fond memories :-) Thanks for posting it, marcosagostos!

[Pamathey]

The cup game meets Rich Mullins.

Watch out, Timber-lee people! Next summer there will be LYRICS to go with the game! hehe

[sicandbored]

that is absolutely excellent - truly original

[Doudou56lo]

I love it !!

excellent !!

[missionarysarahbarry]

If a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod and he dies at his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken; for he is his property. Ex 21:20-21

You may also buy them from among the children of aliens among you, or from their families, whom the begot in your land. These shall become your property: you may keep them as a possession for your children, for them to inherit as property for all time. Such you may treat as slaves. Lev 25:44

[muscratlaura]

Hey Avery,

So good to see you on here. I imagine you're about 13 now. You're the one with the love for food art, right? I've seen some of your creations. Can't imagine where you get that from :).

Well, I played the cup game at camp, and then again at Dulcimer Week in North Carolina. We had a blast doing it.

Can't believe Beaker has so many kids. Avery, you're a blessing. Thanks for letting us know who you are.

Blessings

[snorbitts10]

wow this is wonderful :-)

[sara1997]

I'm from Taiwan...and I love Rich:)God bless our loving brother!!!

[muscratlaura]

I just learned the cup thing after looking up "The Cup Game" online and watching this video about ten hundred times. It's a lot of fun to do. We're doing it at camp this year.

[amylh322]

Hee :) Yeah, i knew the game before i saw Rich use it as percussion in concert way back in 1992. I thought (and still think) it was so brilliant! I mean, who thinks "Hey, we need some percussion, let's do that game we learned at camp?".

The cup game is hard! Especially if ya start giggling :-) He was and is so extremely gifted - and has not stopped blessing my life, although he's been gone from this place 11 years!

[TenBrainCells]

I sure miss him!

[jaoriprilj]

Nice.

[BlueEyedDani]

Loved it! I love this song...and the cup thing is a tradition at church camp! lol

[corndog251]

I forgot all about this song, hadn't heard it in years

[Pooplydoo]

man,that is so cool

[nicklecreekfreak]

I can do that what they are doing with the cups,and sing that song with it to...it 's actaly not that hard it just takes practice...

[sicandbored]

yawn - did you write it?

get over yourself

[webkinzmainiac]

my dad was beaker in his band and on the far left is Eric Hauk my brother takes guitar lessons from him

[muscratlaura]

Hey

I saw your dad and Rich in Atlanta in 1990. Are you Aidan or Avery? Rich and your dad wrote Let Mercy Lead for Aidan. Love that song. I love Eric Hauck too. How's Cincinnati?? God bless you!!

[webkinzmainiac]

i'm avery

[amylh322]

Huh? Beaker's kids are pretty young. Are you saying he is your father?

[webkinzmainiac]

yep

[amylh322]

Huh? Beaker's kids are pretty young. Are you saying he is your father?

[actressalto]

My favortie artist IN THE WORLD! Can you believe that he died because he didn't wear his seatbelt!

[jbbremerton]

he sang "hold me Jesus", now he's holding Jesus in heaven.

[amylh322]

That is a long, long story. Everyone should wear his or her seatbelt. But do you know that - and i refuse to get into detail here because it is just not appropriate - Rich's death saved Mitch's life? I know it's a choice he would make again and again. And i'm glad he's your favorite artist - he was IMMENSELY blessed and gifted. 'Love Rich so much!!

[carolinepalmer26]

I saw a whole row table @ a radical reality camp way back in 2003... i thought they made it up. I thought it was so cool when I saw them doing this... I think they were an Assembly of God church out of Roseville.

[DaphneHarridge]

Oh my word! I've heard about Rich & Co doing Screen Door like this, but have never seen it til now. Wow!

[sara1997]

Thank you jasirish...GOD bless:)

[sara1997]

AMEN!!

[jasirish]

I saw him about 6 mos before his passing & got a brief time to talk w/ him after his concert in Denton, TX. I vividly remember his awesome concert, but even more a thing that's stuck w/ me about him..."what does the lord require of you....do justly, love mercy, &..." ... the last of which was Rich's best characteristic & for which he will ever be remembered. May God bring more Rich's into all of our lives so that we can learn the WAY to HIM!

[johnv686]

AWESOME what else can be said. I look foward to hearing RICH play again in another life.

[13Naru13]

AMEN!! I miss Rich.

[lilmacandcass]

My church choir did the exact same thing.Played the cups and sang.PRETTY HARD.They are very talented.

[MatEliza]

I love this song and this version!

[sara1997]

Who is this guy in the red shirt?

[phattedcalf316]

red-shirt boy is eric hauck, one of the youngest of the 'kid brothers'.

[sulhyman]

Rich Mullins...

One of a kind !

[crosscountrytc]

I definitley couldn't multitask like that when singing! Rich was amazing, his words were powerful, and he just lived an amazing life, the life more people should strive to live.

[funnyman2424]

The special thing about Rich was that he was so genuine. His words especially. Listen to his music and you will see how close to God he really was. I dont think we will ever have another song writer as close to God as Rich was.

Also, a lot of people dont know this, but Rich often wore ragged up clothing because he only kept (money wise) what he absolutely needed. He gave most of his possessions away to the poor. Example: 9/10 times he would be walking barefoot.

[liza7851]

I saw this concert in Lexington KY. Thanks for posting it. I loved watching them play the cups again after all these years. I still haven't found the musician that matches Rich's talent.

[uogb]

try Steve Green. He is very awesome, and much like Rich, and also different, in many ways. But don't get me wrong, I love Rich!

God is a God of Wonders

[dbwokc]

This takes some serious pratice!! Still miss Rich..He was one of a kind

[ghillde]

Rich is very creative. Is this the ragamuffin band?

[stephanefan]

probably. The person in the white shirt is Rich Mullins, I think.

[sjfalcon2001]

Kind of. The guy next to Rich is Mark Robertson (a ragamuffin) and Mitch McVicker (also a ragamuffin, but not an original one) is the guy second from left. Mitch is the guy who was in the car with Rich when he died. The other 2 guys were from Robertson's side project at the time, although I can't remember the name of the band. They toured with Rich on his last full tour before heading into the studio.

[rwgibbs]

Robertson's band = This Train...

[fraink3]

i love this song i will listen to it all i want, it is so cool the way they make the music with cups

[booboosbaba]

I loved him so much. We hav eseveral of his CD's and I saw him in concert here in Tucson,AZ.he was very cool, loved the Lord deeply and signed my poster "Lesli don't be a screendoor" it was nice.

He's with the Lord now.

[inlovewithkratosauri]

I love this game, about twenty people and I did it and it sounded awesome! Love the vid, I had no idea it went with a song though ^.^

[uogb]

this is so cool to watch.

[lilyvonschtuppp]

That was awesome.

Thanks for the video!

[SailorStarGracer]

Whew! Good stuff! I had planned to see him in concert at my church a few months prior to his passing, but it never went through. Lord, I know I'm late saying this to You, but thank You for giving this planet such a man like Rich Mullins.

[uogb]

Yeah . . . .Steve Green is also a Christian singer, and a most amazing man. look up Symphony of Praise - Steve Green . . . it's really cool. You can also find Steve Green's website just by typing in his name. He's awesome. Been to two concerts of his and met him both times. most humble.

[uogb]

llw1976 - Yeah - Keith Green! And his cousin, who is still alive, Steve Green.

[marcosagostos]

Is that his cousin? I had never heard that before.

[uogb]

Steve Green is Keith Green's cousin. Sorry for the mess up. But I like Rich Mullins also.

[abalonecircle]

How do you know that they are cousins?

[stephanefan]

somewhere I heard - a good friend of mine that is reliable . . of course, I could always ask Steve Green himself!

God is a God of Wonders

[cathikin]

Actually, Keith Green and Steve Green are no relation. Just happen to have the same last name. Steve Green Grew up on the mission field in Argentina. His brother is still a missionary. Keith came from a family of nonbelievers, although one of his parents (forgot which) was Christian Science.

[mutinywxgirl]

@uogb Steve Green is not the cousin of Keith Green. 

[surfsalem7]

i'm bad at the game that u play like that!!!

just goes to show u how talented rich was that he could do that and sing at the same time and stuff. awesome man

[shadow2551]

Dang

we attempted something- supposed to be like this at our church but it was no where near this good.

Dang... talk about on beat.

Can you come teach Victory Life please?

we need help LOL

[tlsmiley]

cute song and coll video - looks like they're having fun

[ScBigDog51]

Amazing !!!!! I loved it. How sad that he had to leave us so soon.

[okwhatchagot]

I love this video I have it on VHS and love it. Rich was/is one of a kind. I too miss him so much a friend of mine had him to dinner with them while they lived in AK they said he was such a precious person. I miss him so much.

Thank you again and God Bless

[Tacosix]

Great song...the Lord took Rich Mullins because no one on earth deserved to have someone as special as him.

[llw1976]

I can't wait to get to heaven and see Rich Mullins & Kieth Green

[llw1976]

Jesus you take the best musicians  Thank you for the time and message they left

[GodFlute2]

Ah! I love that! My mom and I were working on coreographing(sp) this song not too long ago. Our version wascommical, but this is better.

[sweetsubmissiveangel]

I miss you Rich!!!

[maryagal]

Great song! Great guy...truly walked with the Lord, but with much humor and grace, the best kind of holiness--the Lord and he are probably having a fantastic time in heaven. Thanks so much for this super video!

[sara1997]

A perfect performance!!

[mrsthomas]

Wow, that was so cool. Thank God for Rich Mullins.

[jonc50]

Excellent!!

[hrt4Him]

Love It!!

[paultwright]

I enjoyed seeing him in concert several times @ First Baptist in Rolla, Missouri. He performed "One Thing" on the hammered dulcimer before that song had been released. His music was fresh & always full of energy!

[turabiangirl]

I remember seeing them do that in concert and i thought it was so cool I about peed my pants. :-)

[imagayfox]

I aqm singing this song with my friends on stage for grandparents day at my school! I learned to love it

[qbees]

Thank you _ Rich Mullins Walked the Talk - Sadly I didnt know of his music and his life in Christ untill he already passed. His music and story are a blessing and legacy of what it means to be a Christian

[sumnsprout]

what an amazing guy! I miss him even all these years later...we need more of him!

[fettman86]

Thanks for posting this video. I tried finding some of his music on here and this is a great song of his. :)>

[neona1]

Thank you!!! I've been looking for this clip forever! =)

Bless you!

[marcosagostos]

In the next month, I hope to post the full concert from this series. It really was incredible. There really weren't many Christian artists who did what Rich did in regards to how they lived their lives. I recommend the book by Jim Smith called, "An Arrow Pointing to Heaven".

[hmariewv]

I love this video! Thank you for the "homeless man" videos!! Rich is still reaching people even now. The way he lived, everything about him. If you have anymore please post them!

[slaterbugz]

i think there should be more songs like this around, they're so powerful and moving... for everyone!

[Prayeriepal]

faith without works like a song you can't sing...

[ewtube]

Rich was the best. Check out the "devotional biography" to learn more about this great guy!
