  • thanks for the link ! Jesus Christ changed my life ! I looove this song so much !

  • thanks for the download!

  • Thanks for the download!

  • I Love this song!!!!

  • I Love this song!!!!

  • I love this song!! I've never heard it on his albums before.....when was it released? Christ for life and beyond, God is great : )

  • I am a Christian man, with a gay brother (who for a while left the faith and now is back) and an atheist friend, we are called to spread the word, not to force the word on people. If people choose to leave the faith or to ignore it, it is there loss, but we must ALWAYS be welcoming

  • 2 dislikers are atheists.

  • the man's voice in the Halcyon new instrumental song above is annoying...remove the man's voice and the instrumental song will be great !

  • This is great! I didn't know Adam Young was Christian! =) That's great!

  • Epic. What album is this on ?

  • I love this song.. <3

    

  • The Father commanded ---life forever more!!!! Yippee!!!!  Psalm 133:3

  • JESUS. <3

  • Thank you so much for providing a download link! iTunes doesn't have this song, or else I would buy it.

  • cool version...great song.....great job and testimony ...

  • "I like your Christ, i dont like your christian. Your christian is so unlike your Christ"

  • I may have already commented on this video, but I just saw it again.

    I wanted to say thanks Adam(?), this is one of my favorite songs;

    but more importantly, thanks for being an artist unafraid to show who you love and serve!!!

    Bombsauce man!! way to go!

  • wow the hymn and arrangement is beautiful !

  • 'Until he calls me home' Such a nice and yet true way to look at death

  • This is defs my favourite hymn. So happy Adam covered it! :)

  • I wonder why he left out the second verse... To me it is the most important part of the song. Does someone know if there is an Owl City version that has this verse too: In Christ alone, who took on flesh

    Fullness of God in helpless Babe

    This gift of love and righteousness

    Scorned by the ones He came to save

    Til on that cross as Jesus died

    The wrath of God was satisfied

    For every sin on Him was laid

    Here in the death of Christ I live

  • This song helps me get through hard stuff a lot easier. Adam's voice kinds helps too though..;)

  • does anyone else wanna cry and want God to take you already? or is it just me. life gets pretty rough this song gets to me. its like TAKE ME AS I AM. ugh i love being Christian. i love god, jesus. great song.

  • this song makes me feel weird

    and almost makes me cry

  • I've always known that Adam was a christian, and I really like some of his stuff, even though it's not all quite up my alley, but I really love him for THIS. He is using his standing as a popular pop artist to convey the love of God, and the message of Jesus to lost people! This is so wonderful!

  • Awesome cover! 

  • Excellent cover!

  • BEAUTIFUL.

  • Dear Owl City-

    Thanks for being awesome.

    Keep on making music to our creator!!!!

    -Quill

  • This song really touched me, I'm a full on Christian, my dad is a preacher, my grandfather, with lung cancer from 2nd hand somke, is a pastor.. i grew up around this stuff... and now to see one of my heros doing it... it put me in tears.

  • awesome.

    

  • Thanks kj52kakashi ~ downloaded the song perfectly. Hear it on the radio the other day and had to have it. Thanks Owl City for such a wonderfully peaceful and true song. CHRIST ROCKS !!!

  • <3

  • it's so cool... it's like ur in peace when ur listening on it and the lyrics is so good u can understand it....so in peace....

  • PLEASE put on ITunes!!!!!!

  • It's dissapointing to see that the comment directly underneath this song has to do with dis-unity and argument. C'mon guys, this isn't what Owl City is about.

  • WOOOOT!!!! finally i found this song!!!

    God bless you Adam Young, i love this song!

  • beutiful voice like an angel

  • @kj52kakashi Wow! Can we please be more judgmental? Good grief. I am fairly sure @ ohmyitsanalbertan was paying a compliment, but you felt it was your duty to be a judgmental jerk. Lets try being a little more Christ like, shall we?

  • @cherinorton I did not mean to come off as "judgmental jerk" but I meant to just correct him in his error that he said that he shows his love for religion. Reason I say this is because that many people I know have gone through the phase of "loving religion" and I know that it is not correct to do so.

  • Comment removed

  • @kj52kakashi I understand what you meant, but you have to remember that people outside of your religion may not use the same vernacular as those who grew up in that religion. We just need to be more understanding of differences and thankful for the opportunities we have to communicate based on shared interests. For example music we commonly like. I appreciate your reply.

  • @cherinorton this is exactly what I was talking about when I was just trying to show the difference of "love of religion" and "love for Jesus Christ"

    youtube(dot)com/watch?v=23LaK9­9PEko

    If I came off as being judgmental, I am sorry that it seemed that way to you (and anyone else).

    I know that people do get these things wrong, especially those outside of our faith.

    Have a great week and glad I cleared this up with you and everyone else.

    For the glory of God,

    -Ethan

  • @kj52kakashi

    It's not religion that he's showing his love for. It's a relationship with Christ that he's singing about.

  • @MrJjkarter do you mean, when a song is soulful then it's not good singing at all?

    i believe every singer has his/her little imperfections..,

  • what an inspirational man :)

    his voice makes me smile, and now hearing him sing my favourite hymn just makes me so thankful that our Lord has given his this incredible talent to share!

    PS, how amazing are the lyrics in the 4th verse!!?

  • This made me love Adam so much more <3

  • I'm completely speechless after watching this.

  • it makes me feel sorry to Him .God is so great (teary eyes)

  • this is my favorite song and he just made it so much better. the first time i ever heard it, i spazed! thank you

  • A-freaking-mazing(:

    <33

  • LOVE IT

  • wow i didnt know he was a christian awesome!!!! and it sounds so cool!!

  • I am screaming the words!!!!!

  • I love this song and Adam so much. Go adam!!:D

  • It's not the song or singer guys, but the one the song is for. God is greatest!

  • What a beautiful song. <3

  • Adam really did well in this cover!! God bless you Adam!

  • This song gives me the chills... I love it -333 Adam did an amazing job on it. Thank you :)

  • 2 people ment to say dis i like!

  • I love him , the song , Jesus christ my savior!! 

  • i normaly cannot stand owl city but this song gives him respect in my eyes.

  • My hope is found

  • I love the message of this song and how he portrays it emotionally. You can tell he really feels that Christ will never ever leave him. It's amazing. I respect him so much more now for this. God bless everyone, I hope that this Christmas, you all remember the real reason for our celebrating this holiday. Christ came to the earth in order to die for all of us, so we don't have to suffer eternal hell for our sins. If we choose Christ, we can live eternally with Him in heaven.

    God bless everyone

  • One of my faves. Love how Adam covered it :)

  • Yay! I love Adam, he's so talented. I can't wait for his next album! This song is sooo good!

  • K not an owl city fan the most part, maybe its that fireflies blew up and got real obnoxious real fast, but I gotta say Adam Young reaches boss status in my mind right here. yay jesus.

  • love it! <3

  • Awesome video and song!

    God bless ;)

  • make more songs like this please!!! ^^

  • This is amazing <3 thank you! i've been trying to get this song forever now! It's just so beautiful :*) i really appreciate it!

  • I'm so happy there is, at least, one very famous role model. <333

  • till He returns, or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand

    BEST part of the song :D

  • And I thought I was in love with Owl City before....<3 Hearing him honor my Lord and Savior like this....wow.

  • "Jesus commands my destiny."

  • I love jesus

  • I believe...if every...single...person...in the world were truthfully told growing up, "There is a G-d, He made u, He loves u, He died for u, He wants joy in your life, He has a plan for your life, & u ought 2 love others as yourself," I'm sure the world would have all the "peace" & "prosperity" it's been asking for all the time. (Look at Rachel Scott!) JESUS is Life! (:

  • gosh everyone, u guys r like writing paragraphs just cuz i said i think christianity is scary to me... i'm not tryin to insult anyone, i believe in god, just not the whole christian religion... the thing is i find ALL religions scary... and i' am a believer of evolution.... sorry to say this but i don't think a bunch of paragraphs from you guys will change the way i feel... now let's all put it aside and enjoy this wonderful song :D

  • Adam's doing exactly what God created ALLLLL of us to do.

    We may not all have amazing voices like him, but God created us all to glorify Himself. We should be witnessing to others, and spreading the gospel in any possible way that we can.

    I love Owl City, I love this song.. I love Jesus!

    "no power of hell, no scheme oh man.. can ever pluck me from His hand. till He returns, or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand!" <3

  • It's not about religion. It's about Christ. We're nothing without Him. If we think for one moment that it's about religion, then it becomes humanism...

  • Adam is taking a wonderful opportunity to bring back a good name to "christians"... his life just inspires me. Beautiful cover; God is good :)

  • I'm very confused about religion, in fact, Christianity scares me, it seriously is scary to me but owl city is my favorite artist and I respect that he's not afraid to tell the world what he believes in :) he's the best.

  • @MagicRos3s How is it scary to you? God loves you and wants to save you.

  • @EmmaJaneMurdock that scares me... religion to me is more like brain washing so that's why i find it scary... the hell part scares me too, and these movies about excersisim... and also when the christians from when they discovered the new world, they did these horrible things to the native americans just cuz they won't become chritians, and the spanish people, they would kill the jews unless they convert... i thought christians were supposed to be kind... lol

  • @MagicRos3s God really is like a Father, he doesn't want to brainwash us, he just wants to love us and us to love him back. Then we're supposed to spread that love to everyone else. xandinavian is right, not everyone who says they're a Christian is telling the truth. Those are people who missed the entire point, or saw Christianity as a way to gain power. They aren't really our brothers at all.

  • @MagicRos3s generalizing a whole population of people through 1 incident is not a strong enough reason for you to say that. educate yourself than to make sudden judgments.

  • @Jakiranz it's not just one incident, it's multiple incidents throughout history...

  • @MagicRos3s no form of government is perfect. no religion is perfect. no one person is perfect. therefore dont make those kinds of judgment unless you can compare it to one that IS perfect. *ahem JC* thanks. with much <3 :)

  • @MagicRos3s if we're looking at body count here, Stalin killed 30-60 million people... and not all Christians are like that... i certainly have no desire to kill anyone because they aren't Christians. That doesn't mean i wont try to convert them however.  I think the real problem is that, the only Christians that are being talked about are the radical ones it seems. and i think that's due in part to the general passivity of modern Christians.

  • he calls me home. 

  • This is AMAZING. I'm sooo happy that there is finallly an amazing artist out there who is a Christian and isn't afraid to show it......REPRESENT! Keep it up Adam :)

  • I'm a not religious person, but the cover of this song has only given me more respect for Adam Young. He's not afraid to show his love for his religion.

  • @OhMyItsAnAlbertan He is actually not afraid to show his love for Christ. He doesn't "love religion." He loves the Creator and Savior of the world.

  • @kj52kakashi Oh! Thank you for correcting me. Sorry about that.

  • @kj52kakashi AMEN!

  • @kj52kakashi Amen

  • @kj52kakashi I never said he loved religion. I said he loved his religion, meaning Christ. Sorry for the mix up.

  • @OhMyItsAnAlbertan ---- it's not about religion. It's about a personal relationship with God. That's all God wants is a personal relationship with you and with everyone else and he tries to do everything to get your love and attention. He loves you and everyone in this world and he won't reject you because he loved your first and he still does. He traded perfection and respect for the most low place and where he would be hated and persecuted but he did it because he doesn't care and he loves us.

  • @OhMyItsAnAlbertan I couldn't agree with your more.

  • @OhMyItsAnAlbertan

    Loves religion? You are way off, he loves Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior

  • @air2322 I said he loves his religion. I never said he loved religion. I tried to imply that he has a love for Jesus Christ. Obviously I failed. Trust me I was informed.

  • @OhMyItsAnAlbertan This song is about Christ, not religion. Jesus wants a relationship with you, not for people to do things just because it's "religious", He wants a relationship, not a religion. 

  • @whisperandsecret Wow thank you for being the millionth person to point this out. I never said he loved religion, I said he loved HIS religion, implying God.

    Now let's just sit back and enjoy Adam Young's gorgeous version of this song instead of trying to be the knight in shining armor.

  • @OhMyItsAnAlbertan Oh Puhh leese. When people correct your comment, it's part of witnessing. You, and other people are reading our comments and knowing the truth. Do not confuse my attempt at reaching out with ego.

  • @whisperandsecret right on bro

  • @DefTecShred lol I'm a girl, but that's cool. XD Thank you.

  • i would like this song so much more if it wasn't about jesus

  • Romans

    10

    9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

  • I'm not a fan of christian music in general but I gotta hand it to him that was beautiful.

  • @mooiboy333 does he have any videos on youtube like an interview where hes talking abt being a christian? if he does i would like to see.

  • @BFFFL16 You can check out his blog if you'd like to, that's how I found out. Go to his blog and look for his entry called "My Hope Is Found"

  • @BFFFL16 Yes.

  • @BFFFL16

    Yes, Awesome song! :D

  • @BFFFL16 He's not necessarily a Christian artist, but yes he is a Christian, and he does make some Christian songs. :]

  • @KitsuneInSnow can you send or post some of the christian songs he has please...i would like to hear them

  • @BFFFL16 Sure, but I only know of two: Tidal Wave and Meteor Shower.

  • song of the year! :)

  • I think he should do more songs like this. maybe write his own? :-)

  • I discovered this song about 6 weeks ago. Then one of my favorite singers has a version of it. This song is a legit blessing.

  • I greatly Respect this man and his faith. I am greatly encouraged by what he said on his blog. Thank You Adam. God Bless you and your music career.

  • wow... Adam reallly did well with this one! he put his moving touch into this already relaxing song, that touch that delves into your soul and gives you an inner peace like no other. i feel in this song more inner peace and a strange feeling of being at rest almost as if for the first time, OWL CITY FOREVER!

  • Simply Amazing. My favorite band just got even better. I didn't think that was possible, but this brings tears to my eyes.

  • @10ashsoccer tears in my eyes too, thank God for owl city

  • Wow! What a beautiful combination of great music and faith!
