i play in a worship band. ond day casting peals had a conzerrt. the guys were playing and he asked me : heeey, boy, do u wanna play with us ?? ;-) and i said : YEEEEEAS OF COURSE!!! and i tooke my guitare and i could play the sont wiht them :D :D the conzert was too great :D
This song came out when a close friend and patient of mine and mother of 3 died of cancer at age 28......I don't think I've ever really gotten over it....."I will lift my eyes to the Healer of the the hurt I hold inside." Those words are so true and so powerful but I still can't apply them to myself. Tears flow and my body aches whenever I hear this song......Years later I was curious as to how I would respond......same thing right now.......
WOW Why argue over a song? I know there is a god because I have exsperienced his supernatural power. You can argue with this but you cant argue with the results when god touches you and your life with the holy spirit .
@KatAlexandros she is nothing compaired to any Christain bands.. all of her songs are the worst.. she is the worst singer and human being.. its cool to be differant and crazy.. but its another to be retarded.. but sorry thats a very rude thing to say she because the mentaly challenged are better than she could ever be.
@brookevaught14 she is one of the most amazing people. she lets everybody know that it's ok to love, and you don't have to hate people because they are different, unlike christian bands, which show hatred to anybody that isn't a straight cisgendered male.
@KatAlexandros But Christian music does have an effect on Christians, and the song definitely isn't a meaningless collection of sounds to us. It's just a different genre of "real" music that not many people listen to, but the effect and meaning of the song is still there.
@CrazyUnnie well christianity is the most followed religion unfortunatly, thus a mass delusion, and a delusional person can find what they think is a meaning, which what it really is is something with no meaning what so ever.
@KatAlexandros Your sense of reasoning is distorted. Just because Christianity is the most followed religion doesn't automatically make it a mass delusion. You stated that music creates an effect and has meaning. The purpose of the song is worship and praise to God. There is definitely a meaning and although many people may or may not agree with this song's meaning, that doesn't make it any less than what it is.
@CrazyUnnie Something is only something if it can be proved by something other than circular reasoning (i.e. bible says Yahweh says bible says Yahweh) circular reasoning is a way to protect a delusion. so thus if it is a delusion and Yahweh does not exist, thus you are worshiping nothing, nothing can not have a meaning, thus this sound has no meaning. That took no circular reasoning and is factual, thus I'm right your wrong. it is just pretty sounds that should be instead have have a meaning.
@KatAlexandros Whether the God they worship is real or not, the song still has an effect on its targeted audience, making it "real" music. Meaning, logic, and reasoning are irrelevant to musical boundaries which is exactly what makes music such a beautiful thing. Not all of Lady Gaga's songs always make perfect sense (and some close minded people even deem her songs meaningless autotuned garbage). But to others she is artistic and creative. Real music, just different point of views :)
I 1000% am here telling you that whether you have a wonderful relationship with god, whether you are falling away from his commands, or whether you’ve never even meet god… a missions trip would be the best place for you all.. It teaches you so much about life, god, and even yourself.. <3 Brooklyn Vaught
.. We were all totally pooped by the end of the day.. But today now that I’m back home I wish we coulda stayed longer.. it seems it went by so fast.. I balled my eyes out having to leave those kids after hearing them say I love you and can I come with you.. I miss them all already.. And if you have never been on a mission trip..
This was the theme of our mission trip.. “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” –Jesus.. I got to go up there and not only meet and bond with new Christian people.. But i got to care for and love on some of the wonderful sweet little kids at the barns.. Which is one of the Indian reservations there by Bottineu.. And let me tell you as fun as it was and as fun as it sounds for those who love kids like me.. It was a lot of work..
MISSION BOTTINEU.. I went up to North Dakota this past week and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.. If you haven’t experienced the love of god.. Or like me have fallen away.. If you’re wondering if your too sinful to be loved and cared for by god the all mighty creator.. I’m just here to let you know.. Stop moving back.. When all god calls you to do is move forward.. God loves you and forgives you of all your sins.. And all you have to do is ask for forgiveness.. FOLLOW..
when you're down and broken... if you feel empty.. if your girlfriend or boyfriend busted you up... or things like that.. let this song be your prayer..
Wow, what happened to these guys? I loved this CD when I was in college. They had a Christian hit off their first album...so I thought they'd get famous but I haven't heard one of their songs on the radio since.
@Addue Hey they are now called VOTA... Same guys, they just changed their name they said they were not getting recognized because of casting crowns getting so big.. so they are still doin the same style, and Ive seen them as Casting Pearls and VOTA ... Still praisin the lord !
omgosh ya she wasn't a christian and he wrote her a letter explaining christianity and how much God loves her. she got really sick and one day he came to c her and she was awake again. they talked for a couple hours about christianity and she decided to meet God. they prayed and stuff, and then a week later she died. but this was her favorite casting pearls (now VOTA) song! that story and this song made me cry b/c i heard it when i saw them perform a couple months after my grandma passed away.
"Remove myself till there's nothing left but You alone in me" is my favorite part of the entire song. It describes my deepest desire as a Christian in a lost world. To God be the glory in all we do. Amen!
"i lift my hands to the sky, open wide, and i cry lord take me away. take this heavy heart and this weary soul and set them free..." because if it weren't for you living in me Jesus, i would be nothing in this world. you are my strength and hopes to this life you give me. my God because of you, each day counts! Hallelujah to the king of kings!!<3
i play in a worship band. ond day casting peals had a conzerrt. the guys were playing and he asked me : heeey, boy, do u wanna play with us ?? ;-) and i said : YEEEEEAS OF COURSE!!! and i tooke my guitare and i could play the sont wiht them :D :D the conzert was too great :D

CrazyUnnie 3 months ago in playlist YouTube Mix for Casting Pearls
@CrazyUnnie Definition of music: sounds, usually produced by instruments or voices, that are arranged or played in order to create an effect.
The key word in that is effect, all it is is beautiful sounds with no effect, it is just a meaningless, but beautiful collection of sounds.
