  • My four year old daughter sang this song to her great granddaddy just two weeks (Jan 8 2012) before he passed . It is truly a beautiful song and now carries so much more meaning for me and my family. My Pops may be gone but he will never be forgotten.

  • gonna watch tonight

     leakedmovies . biz

  • 2:12 when I walk under this birds, I will not come home cleanly ;p

  • I've never got cold chill's from a song, well until yesterday when I heard this song. Alison is great!

  • oh.. sisters lets go down..lets go down cammon down ohh sister lets go down....giggity

  • i love this song and ive had it stuck in my head all day.

  • Creationist shitfuck.

  • @gersman1962 WANKER

  • Odin loves you all.. and this song too of course!

  • to megaroodypoo: become a Christian, but I understand what you are talking about though. Haliluja.

  • John 3:16:For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son, to whosoever belevith in him shall not parish and shall have everlasting life.

  • Allways stand by the Lord and do what is right.....You will never be lost.......and He shall show you the way

  • I was folding laundry at 3 AM in the morning listening to this song on repeat and my girlfriend came down and said, "What the hell are you doing?" so I said "Woman you need to go into a river and pray" so I duct taped a Bible to her fohead and threw her into the Chattahoochee.

  • Does anyone know where the water falls featured here is located....they are stunning.....think I'll put them on my bucket list....

  • @debannwin Looks like the Iguaza falls on th Brazil-Argentina border

  • I'm not a muslim and i LOVE THIS!

  • Great song. Repent an believe the good news of Jesus Christ! Amen. Glory to God the Father and the Lamb of God for ever and ever, who reign for ever and ever!

  • @IaxobusJames

    LOL, great song, I agree. The rest of it...meh, I'll pass on that if you don't mind? :D

  • It does not matter where his meaning comes from, but what it means now at this moment! means all for me, it has it all in one simple song, things are so simple but we humans complicate everything, aren't we so smart? I'm glad there is more than me... you!

  • is there an African choir rendition of this?

  • @radixking well sed as my freind well sed

  • "Peace be to all mankind through every individual."

  • "In the neighborhood of a building where beautiful music is being played, a great harmony falls upon the earth."

  • it's nice, tha people type in their comments that theyre muslims, christiants, atheists etc, but they still like it....well, of course they like it, because in its basic nature all the religions are talking about the same thing, only in the past people didnt know it or understood it :) so, doesnt metter, where are you from or what do you beleive in, because of this music we can clearly see, that we're all the same, cause we now what true beaty looks (or sounds) like :)

  • I love this song.

  • "May the Source continue to be with you..."

  • Do people still get baptized???

  • @Snake5461 ????? i did

  • @jonorocks13 I didn't and I think I turned out fine. I really don't think baptizing someone proves anything. It seems pointless and it looks like just a complete waste of time.

  • @Snake5461 well changed my life, and check out machine gun preacher well good film and changed his life lol

  • @Snake5461 yes just different types of religions baptize in different ways

  • just because its great music doesnt mean religion is good or "helps some people". stop making stupid conclusions because you're affected by the beauty of its MUSIC. such a great composition though. beautiful.

  • @ohaRega this song does not originally have anything to do with religion it was a song slaves sang to give messges to each other i assume this song meant slaves should go to the river to break free

  • Love It

  • May the Source continue to be with you...

  • Je suis athée mais au final on s'en remet tous a une puissance supérieur , de mon coté c'est la science !

  • Who is the other female voice?

  • Alison Krauss could sing a duet with a chainsaw and make it sound good.

  • God is a Genius! And I DO need Him.

  • I love this song exactly for the reason it was written, to stir the soul towards the only truth that ever will be. The truth that the Lord is there waiting for all of us (Muslims, atheists, sinners and saints etc.) to turn our hearts and souls towards him. Whether you believe it or not doesn't really matter, because it's the truth.

  • @MillionYearEchoTube it was written to give slaves a message saying to go to the river during those days the underground railroad wrote songs like wade in the water to give slaves a message where to go or what to avoid so they can escape slavery they used religion style songs because they where the really common then

  • @knightofjustic I wish there was enough concrete evidence to back up this statement. But honestly there is no exact history as to why this song was written, where it was written, or who it was written by, look it up.

  • @MillionYearEchoTube well most of these type of songs were sung by slaves they sang and there is proof that there were sons with hidden meanings explaining where to hid

  • I'm atheist but I love religious hymns I go around singing He isLord the whole time. Religion's fine as long as you realise you don't NEED it you just like it. For example, I don't go around being horrible to people simply because I've no fear of retribution in the next life. I'm nice because a) It's how I'd like to be treated and b) It makes me feel good.

  • @hayzerclon don't you think that this is what the ethos of religion is all about ?

  • PEACE, ATHEISM, AND SCIENCE FOR EVERYONE. :D

  • @ PlayForASymphony ! Thank you very much for put in welcome of your wonderful this marvelous video and this great song too !

    i appreciate a lot

    SMILES

    6*******

  • It's wonderful how one song can change life :)

  • my uncle showed me this song, now he does drugs.. this song reminds me before he did drugs.... i loved him with ALL my heart, now he can't see me anymore. I Love You Uncle <3 :')

  • Regardless of religion I feel anyone can appreciate beautiful soft music such as this. Goosebump inducing melody for sure.

  • @skidatashtraphobia No I am Pagan.

  • Your religion doesnt matter. Music is music. No matter the lyrics and sounds.

  • Complete atheist but i love this song :)

  • God is only waiting for the disbelievers to walk towards his loving arms. The Lord is forgiving & loving and Almighty. Praise be to God.

  • underbelly.

  • They didnt drown , just scared to enter the water!

  • This is the best thing evah if u want 2 annoy some1

  • 141 people drowned in the river.... this song is amazing!!!

  • O God, there must be something else.

  • let's go down, who's with me?

    BEAUTIFUL.

    

  • i am deaf and i like this..

  • I am myself and faith - and I don't need organised religion. This song is beautiful to sing along to, with it's tone and harmony

  • I'm an atheist, but I still believe some people can get strength out of religion. I don't want to convert anyone. This song is absolutely beautiful. Peace on earth and everyone deserves an own opinion and way of life. No war. No bloodshed. Us humans are capable of such great things if we put aside the minor differences we have, because after all we're just human beings in the pursuit of happiness, love and the well-being of our family and friends. Live a good life regardless of religion. PEACE!

  • @MegaRoodypoo Wow, that is the coolest thing i have ever heard coming from an Athiest! Awesome! The most mature perspective ever! I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this song. It gives me such an amazing feeling

  • @MegaRoodypoo well said dudie!

  • @MegaRoodypoo I totally agree with you!!! :) Have a nice day! :) :)

  • @MegaRoodypoo i to am a athieist, however everytime i hear this song, I pray to those very Gods I disbelieve in, that I am wrong,,........

  • @MegaRoodypoo I dont give many thumbs up on YT. But I just gave you one. Im a christian, and what you said is my view and pretty much the views of most christians I know. All people should be allowed to find peace in something, be it religion(of any kind) , the arts or philosophy.

  • @qpbooneqp I am also an atheist, and the small amount of extremist christians give the rest of you a bad name. I have some really good christian friends, and we joke around about religion a lot. It shows that religion isn't a barrier, but sometimes a bridge. But some christians hurt others for the sake of their God and in my opinion that is not okay.

  • @EmeraldShard I feel the same as you three. I'm Southern Baptist and -alot- of us are idiots, and I'm ready to say it, however I'm never the one to put someone down. We're all human, and it's in our nature to make mistakes. But it's also in our nature to love one another and help each other in the end, no matter what you believe in.

  • @MegaRoodypoo

    Well said! Respect.

  • This is a BUEATIFUL song i love it and im only 13 its unusal for a normal 13 year old to like this kind of music but lets face it god made me the way he saw me and im not a normal 13 year old thumbs up if you agree

  • I remember being 5 or 6 sitting in my granny's front yard staring at the clouds singing this, the irony of it is even though I'm an Atheist I still sing this and it makes my mom tear up. One of the most beautiful songs ever.

  • Selena Gomez and Joey King sang this song .. Thanks to them, now I like this song . :)

  • Comment removed

  • This was my dads favorite song. He passed away May 3, 2010. It has ben hard for cause he was papa until he adopted me cause my birth mom told me when i was 3 that she didnt want me and she didnt love me or want to take care of me. My papa and gradmother adopted me and then he found out he had cancer and told me that my cousins was willing to let me come and live with them cause he didnt think he could take care of me and give me what i needed so he wanted me to be somewhere where i would.

    Merci à ma copine Dany de me le faire connaître même s'il n'est pas facile à apprendre...lol!

  • there were messages and intentions in these hymns that even I tonight, knowing my grandmother( a religious woman) passed away this morning...i find solace in .

    I only wish these intentions, humanity and beauty are found again and we do not rely on the absent hand of another, but each other to remember our inherent capacity for love

  • I'm no longer Christian but I must admit this song is absolutely beautiful.

  • I'm no religious person, sorry, it's just a fact. But I love this song. It is by far one of the more beautiful religion songs I've heard.

  • God smells.

  • love this song :(

  • Let God Show the 136 pepoel and all the other pepoel who don't like this song the way to heaven.

  • A big reason for the awesome sound of this song is the fact that the only musical instruments at play are human voices

  • Athiest saying this is awesome... thumbs up for goosebumps.

  • @AdmireAndDeride just because you're not religious it doesn't make you an atheist.... just sayin.

  • @JRayMalcolm I agree. I'm an atheist because I don't believe in gods. :)

  • @AdmireAndDeride that makes you agnostic though. an atheist is apposed to the idea of a God, you sound like you've just reserved yourself to the fact that you don't know (which is actually more reasonable)

  • @JRayMalcolm I am an agnostic atheist. I do not believe in gods (atheism), but I do not claim knowledge that there is no god (agnosticism). There is just a severe lack of evidence for one. An antitheist is against the idea of gods/religion.

  • @AdmireAndDeride that's what I don't get, how do you make that decision based on a lack of evidence. There's also no evidence that you exist but everyone makes the faith based assumption that we do. Everything you believe is based on faith no matter if you're christian or atheist. is there something I'm missing?

  • @AdmireAndDeride

    WTF?

    You don't need to call yourself an 'agnostic atheist'. That doesn't even make sense. You're just an atheist. An atheist is someone who lacks a belief in god, which is what you are, according to what you said. Atheism isn't the positive assertion that there is no god. So, just call yourself an atheist.
