  • This song is just purely awesome. When you see the whole band singing and tears in their eyes because in the midst of two tragedies within the church you know that the faithful are trusting in God. Seeing the drummer singing and others like the electric guitarist just shows how much they believe that no matter what they can overcome. God bless New Life Church for staying strong.

  • I'm working at a job that I totally despise. I have no idea what my next step is. Im in college. I just need to try and overcome my boundaries and be happy. I'm always negative. Im super stressed. I have an addiction to pornography. I dont know how to change. I need to overcome.

  • @921iphone Hey, hang in there. I've been in those exact steps. Just keep sticking with college and try to rely on God to give you guidance, patience, and strength to overcome your obstacles. My most uplifting feeling during then was knowing that I wasn't handling everything alone.

  • @921iphone you overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of your testimony. we cannot do it, man. we keep trying. stop. it is the christ in you, the hope of glory that will quicken the word within you to be obedient to that word. let the holy spirit breathe on you today and then go and walk in obedience.

  • @921iphone I just prayed for you. I will be fasting for you tomorrow 1/29/12. I've been where you are. You will overcome by His blood. Your God is with you. You do not walk alone.

  • my favorite part of this song is the bridge! very powerful

  • I am a Private First Class in the United States Marine Corps. I miss my family, am not satisfied with my life and everyday is just dragging me down. But I neeed help. I need to overcome this, and get through the next 5 years of my life ok. Otherwise, I am not sure I can handle this anymore. I need you God. I need to overcome this. I declare.

  • @gtrxxfiendxx Thank you for letting me sleep soundly at night. Your sacrifice has meaning you may not understand. Please know you will get through this, God has a good plan for your life, and it will get better.

  • There is no trial, trouble, enemy, or opposition that can win against the love and power of Christ. For we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Hardships and adversity do not last, and God's love will see you through the fire. Trust his love, his promises, and he will get you through the fire. He is a faithful God.

  • im crying as i write this i have 15 credits to my name i am 17 and a senior i wanna graduate for my mom but my heart had given up and i got tired of trying im praying God will restore my heart i know i will overcome

  • @narrissica I pray that God will deliver you out of what you are going through. I've been there, and have had the blessing of having my family be there with me in trial. God does everything for the good of His children. It may not seem like it now, but it is in God's plan and it is His will. Anytime I face anything drastic, I pray that His will be done, but also that He promises to care for His children. I am alive and well and have overcome financial burden, pain, and death. God, YOU overcome!!

  • this.is.my.story...this.is.my.­song!!!Jesus.saves!>:D<

  • Thank you, Lord , for Your great works ,')

  • This is my story, this is my song. Praising my savior all the day long.

  • love this song..so inspiring..Jesus awesome in power Forever...

  • Jesus is Lord and He is ALIVE!!!

  • Wow!!!

  • You overcame God and so shall I

  • I defy anyone to look at this song being played, and the congregation's reaction, and STILL think that there is no God in heaven. Why would we do this if it wasn't true? I Pray that anyone reading this will be strengthened in their faith in Christ, or moved towards his presence today. To God be the Praise.

  • When you read the story behind it, you can fully understand the thunderous applause at the intro.

  • Heard this just this morning and was moved to tears not 20 seconds in.

  • Jesus Save

  • Everybody pray for the 15 dislikers

  • This song was the final step in bringing me to give my life to Christ. It is my story, and my song. God is great. I'm so blessed and would be nowhere without Him and my brothers and sisters in Christ <3 GOD BLESS

  • Just found out... I only have $5 to my name, nothing to eat for supper, and I could lose the house, but I will Overcome all obstacles

  • @narrissica GOD's with you. Don't let the diavolus take your hope. Your hope is JESUS.

  • @narrissica I've been there, and all I can say is trust Jesus. Let Him lead you to a church family that can take care of you and support you in your journey to overcome. It's been a life-changing process for me - and still is - but I've learned the difference between faith and complete and utter trust. God really is who He says He is, and He can do everything He says that He can do. He loves you, and wants the best for you. No matter how things appear, He's on your side and won't abandon you.

  • @narrissica am sorry I was agreeing with u but I press down by mistake

  • @narrissica But yet u have internet access, and will probably reply back to this message. SMH.

  • @narrissica Alittle late but are you in a better position now? Did you keep the house?

  • God is Great! response..... All of the Time !

  • Love this song....sooo powerful, anointed and just plain old amazing!!!! GOD IS GOOD!

  • I needed to be reminded today. Praise God and thank you Jesus for your sacrifice! Your Victory!

  • This made me go on knees ! WOW

  • The anthem of the Church.

  • it wouldn't let me post and so i cancelled...rewrote...UGH sorry for all the messages I did not know were going to appear so many times!!! Apologies to ALL!!!

  • @fruili, Christians are just as diverse as other "groups" in the world. Perhaps you should ask individual people since we are all individuals as well. And I, personally, opposed the war. Being a Christian is a relationship with Jesus Christ, not a phenomenon, ideology, religion, spiritual movement, etc. God bless.

  • @ fruili: Christians are just as diverse as non-Christians and have varying ideas about war, and the war in Iraq is no exception. Just because we have faith in God/Christ does not mean we are all a bunch of robots without our own individual thoughts, ideas, and characteristics. Different people felt differently about it. I opposed it. You should ask others INDIVIDUALLY how they felt.

  • Just curious about people endorsing this ideology and faith. When we were told that our nation was going to war, that we were going to resolve our problems in the world by brutally ending the lives of other human beings, did you as a spiritual movement oppose it?

  • @friuli Christians are just as diverse as non-Christians and have varying ideas about war, and the war in Iraq is no exception. Just because we have faith in Jesus does not mean we are all robots with the same thoughts and characteristics. Different people felt differently about it because we are all individuals. Personally, I opposed it. You should ask others INDIVIDUALLY felt about it and not assume, which it is kinda obvious already that you are doing.

  • @ fruili It seems you've made up your mind already, from how you changed your post? Christians are just as diverse as non-Christians. We believe in Jesus, but we are individuals with our own opinions on various issues. We aren't robots. Maybe you should ask individuals, since some opposed it and some did not, for various reasons. I personally opposed it. Being a Christian is having a relationship with Christ, it's not a phenomenon, ideology, spiritual movement, etc. God bless.

  • Just curious about people endorsing this phenomena. When we were told that our nation was going to war, that were going to resolve our problems in the world by brutally ending the lives of other human beings, did any of you oppose it?

  • May GODBLESS all He's people..

  • This is an amazing song, Thanks be to God!

  • we will over come, by the blood of the lamb 

  • what is the choir singing at 5:45 while the lead is singing the bridge?

  • 14 need to get to know jesus as there savior and lord

  • How can 14 people not like this song???

  • I just came back from one of their worship session in Singapore today! It was a really powerful worship session. GOD was there! And they did sang this song too! ;)

  • really liked this!

  • I was there that night!

  • This song sends chills all around me. Every victory is Yours Jesus!

  • Showww...

  • To God be the victory and all glory! :D

  • Split your lungs with blood and thunder

    When you see the white whale!.

    Break your backs and crack your oars men

    If you wish to prevail!!!!

  • CHECK OUT:  New Life Worship - Overcome (Song Story) --- it's on YOUTUBE

  • Comment removed

  • New Life has OVERCOME soooo much! They are an inspiration! :)

  • this is how my church needs to be all the time

  • I had a recurring sin in my life that I am not proud of. Whenever I feel it in the back of my mind I think of all Jesus has done, is doing, and will continue to do for me. This song helps me vocalize how he has helped me overcome by his great example.

  • One thing that I love is how all of this music brings people together, all together, differences aside, because through the words of this song, it really does speak to me in a way. It makes me get what I'd like to call a Jesus High. This song inspires me to get to know Jesus even more and I'm only a teenager who doubted his faith two years ago and after going through retreats and finally being able to lead one, I can say that Jesus is my inspiration and I became an instrument of Jesus. Jesus <3

  • A friend commented this song on one of my status' that I posted of my daily devotional, which is getting through the hardest thing that I never prepared myself for...my father died Feb 12th, 2011. I am doing whatever I can to get through this hard time and this song is amazig...the funny thing is that my dad would love this song and would love your voice. My dad was a Christian singer and he sang at church and churches around Texas Oklahoma and Louisana. He sang at Weddings, Funerals...thanks

  • I'm so excited that Paul Mabury, the guy who produced a bunch of the hillsong records, is going to be producing Desperation Band! I just found out that Paul has this band called One Sonic Society! They are doing incredible things for music! Seriously, I encourage everyone to go listen to their music. It is INCREDIBLE!!

  • @MrJasonlage One Sonic Society is really doing incredible things for christian music. its great to hear that other people are starting to hear about the band!

  • @MrJasonlage BIG SPAM 

  • That right there is the miracle within our suffering, even after a devastating act of violence, God's people coming together to praise him, hearts overflowing with love for their Savior who they know is in control no matter what our circumstances. What an amazing testimony of God's faithfulness.

  • luv this song! it has helped me to overcome!

  • powerful song

  • I am usually hesitant about introducing rock beat in worship...but this song truly is awesome....great job guys...

  • Just saw Desperation Band and Jared Anderson at Breakforth 2011!! I'm still High from all the amazing worship!! God Bless you Guys! Please come back next year!!!!

  • Saw Desperation Band and Jared Anderson at Breakforth 2011!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!! God Bless You Guys!!

  • Saw Desperation Band and Jared Anderson at Breakforth 2011!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!! God Bless You!!

  • i love this song!

  • God I love you please never let me go. I can't make it on my own

  • Worthy of all of our praise....

  • this song encouraged me so much! It reminded me that whatever painful and hard experience i go through in my life that God will help me overcome! That HE will bring me through! that i dont need to worry about what people think of me because of my faith because God has ALL AUTHORITY over EVERYTHING! and that He will bring me through! If i walk with him i WILL overcome! Praise the Lord! :)

  • I am not that into "Worship music" (I am into Gospel, trust me there is a difference), but the worship choir was singing this song at my church today and it grabbed me.

  • This is a ridiculously awesome song and video!

  • excellent song. excellent presentation. thank you guys for showing how us to sing to Jesus. I'm sure we'll do this one in heaven!

  • excellent song. excellent presentation. thank you guys for showing how us to sing to Jesus. I'm sure we'll do this one in heaven!

  • wow...10 people really need to get saved!

  • @hayden4139 ?????????????????

  • @hayden4139 that is the most ignorant thing ive ever read. Thanks for shedding more bad light on christianity.

  • @hayden4139 It's pretty harsh to assume that someone isn't a Christian based off of whether they like this song or not.

  • @gilligan132 i said the comment...i didnt 'like' the comment..

  • @gilligan132 i said the comment...i didnt press the like button on the comment...btw look at it this way...if you were a TRUE Christian, you wouldnt dislike the video whether you think its a good or not..

  • @hayden4139 Can you define "True Christian" for me? All I'm saying is not all Christians like this genre of music. Not to mention, the lead singer seems very superficial and many people are put off by that sort of thing. (Not saying he is at all, just making an observation). And why are you assuming I clicked dislike? Actually just performed this song today at church. Just thought it was a silly judgement to pass on people.

  • @gilligan132 no no no i didnt mean to offend you in anyway...i was just saying...and if you think the lead singer isnt a Christian...boy.....but to be a true christian is:

    1. Born again in the Spirit

    2 .Believes that Jesus is Lord

    3. Accepts that the Bible is the full and final counsel of God

    4. Holds to all of the essential doctrines of an evangelical faith

    5. Fears God, holding Him in reverential awe

    6. Applies a Christian world view to our times

    there are MANY more standers but they all r key

  • @hayden4139 Holds to doctrines? That's religion, which Jesus came to save us from. Jesus says it best when he boils it down to 4 words, "Love God, Love People." It's about love. And my only point is to say that it's not very loving to assume that someone isn't as close to God as they should be just because they don't like a song. Also, I didn't say he wasn't a Christian. Just that his emotions are very forced in the video. I've no doubt the man loves God.

  • @gilligan132 what to you mean forced??

  • @gilligan132

    fyi... The emotions are not forced. Ross Parsely was feeling extreme emotions and the presence of God was very strong during the recording of this video. I saw an interview, as well as went to New Life during the time when they lost their pastor. Not long after they had a shooting. They are a testament to overcoming many obstacles and trusting in the Lord through extremely tough circumstances! :)

  • @hayden4139: Make that 14 people...

  • @hayden4139 15 :))

  • @hayden4139 Actually, it's now 16 and I'm one of them. The song is great until the bridge 'We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.' That's fine, but unless we embrace the third part of the scripture we won't ever overcome - '... and they loved not their life unto death.' We'll end up trying to overcome on our own terms. Check your lyrics guys, what you're singing (and trying to get the Church to sing) ain't scriptural.

  • @shadowdweller91 Hi Shadowdweller91....because they didn't does not change the verses used and sung. YES! It does say MOOOOOORE as you share. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. You do not have sing every word in the Bible to sing ....

  • Our Father knows, only, if we'll love our lives unto the death....even we don't know that of ourselves. Oh, please Father.....have mercy!!!!  : )

  • @Maryw7 No, but if you're going to quote a scripture - as they did - at least quote the whole thing so that it's not misleading. Jesus said we have to die if we want to live, but there's no mention of that in this song. As Christians God allows us to go through hardships so that we die to our own will and surrender to His, and therefore become like Jesus. And THAT'S when we overcome, and when we'll see His power working in us and through us.

  • @shadowdweller91 : ) As far as i can see...they did not "Quote" a verse...they are just including some of scripture in the song. They are not saying: " Revelation 12:11......" and then writing out the scripture. They are INCLUDING scripture in a song....which is beautiful! God allows people, believers and unbelievers to go through hardships. We overcome when we believe (in Him and His overcoming) .... through faith....NOT only in hardships. God knows how much we love our lives.

  • @shadowdweller91 PS Hi again....For instance...my heart wishes to sing: (though it won't be a complete quoting of verses) .....Giving thanks unto the Father....Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In Whom we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS *OF SINS*........*********HALLELUJ­AH**************************** : )

  • Merry Christmas! <3

I love to see ppl worshiping our precious Lord & Savior. It's like a small glimpse into heaven, It fills my heart to overflowing with tears, Imagine how it must touch our Fathers heart who IS LOVE. Thank you ABBA

  • I was at NewLife the first sunday that Brady Boyd preached and I'm a witness that the church definately seeks after GOD and really carries the presence of GOD...

  • What a powerful, powerful song! Singing and telling Satan that we WILL overcome, by the blood of Jesus Christ, our lamb and by the testimony that God gave us. I can guarentee that this song makes all of hell tremble and shake. Praise to God!
