Thanks for your inspiring song, Joe! Love, Shawn!

  • Your gonna lead me back to Christ with your music...I am realizing that I'm not alone and that things dont just happen that God has a plan. There are no coincidences. Love your music, hope my boyfriend that is a Bob Dylan fan will listen. He has no faith, no belief in God and I pray that this will touch him as much as it has touched me. He is a good sweet man and Id give my soul if he would come to Christ. I love him so. I need to draw nearer myself..thanks for helping me to do this.

Yes, I am heartbroken -- though she didn't die...just the love, and the future together she said she so wanted...but it has been like grief to me...your song did inspire some extra strength to let her go, and reminded me that when we feel most alone, we can reach out to others -- even via YouTube....:o)

  • Joe, this moment of testimony took me back to a seventh day slumber set at Icthus 3 years ago, where Joesephs testimony and heart saw many teen suicides come to the altar that night, and many people rededicating (including me) with the same spirit breathed witnessing, Never underestimate the power of your voice and your instrument in a quiet room, you are a direct link to the deliverer, God Bless you brother.
