I was looking for a good version of this song and came across your video, and right away I felt Gods annointing as you sang with your soul and spirit. Thank you for sharing the gift God has given you, and may you continue to share this gift with others as the Holy Spirit leads you.
it's always so amazing when a big talent is used to bring praise to the lord. keep it up, you're doing a great job! keep being focused on the lord and he will open doors for you... god may richly bless you, brother
would you ever want to do a song together and post it as a dual side by side video? I write my own worship as well as like to rock the mainstream stuff?
Fall Semester, I had it all. A good scholarship, the admiration of the nation, the love of a campus, and the blessing of family
Spring Semester, I've lost it all. No more scholarship, no one cares now that I've switched my major, and I've lost both my grandfather and an uncle in the same semester. He gives and takes away, but my heart will STILL choose to say, LORD BLESSED BE YOUR NAME!!!!!!
This song is incredible. Seen so many people come to Christ just by this song alone! Check out some of our videos, support us, and learn more about what we do here at Oceans Edge School or Worship. And if you want more, check our website and contact us! We would love to hear from you!
I remember you and I playing around with guitars, maybe 12 or 13 years ago... man how time flies. The lord has blessed you with a wonderful voice thanks for sharing it. aaron
Man this was great. Your guitar skills are awesome and so is your voice. I play guitar a little so am able to appreciate good guitar when I see it and yours is far above mine. Keep this up and God will keep on blessing you as I can see He already has through your talent.
Hi!!! Im brazilian and im learning english. I wached the video here at small city in Brazil. I loved!!! Help me in a difficult time this weed. Im preacher and play guittar too. now i will learn this music in guittar too. I dont play well but im learning...God Bless you Jonathan...God use you so far of me, distant....to help me...Thanks!
Great job on one of my two favorite worship songs. As far as this religion debate, remember that the biggest enemies of Jesus were the established religious leaders. I have been with my church since birth, attend regularly, and have several responsibilites within. That is MY choice. I also know that churches are FULL of politics (I am a Council leader), so detractors have valid points. Bottom line is if you want to worship God you don't need a "church" or religion...just faith.
I listened to this some months ago and sadly I lost the site. I found it today and I have to say you are definatly a very talented guitarist.... just love to listen to you.... so smooth and your voice mellow.
guys in a few months ill have to be my youth groups new praise band leader; how do i know if god really wants me to take on this responsibility? i mean im not the best christian, im full of sin and dont really read the bible, but how do i know?! in my heart i would love to do this, but i dont know....
@azny21 dude just go for it! i play guitar and i was asked to joina worship band..i didnt know if i should or could do it, i did and i have no regrets and i believe it was a good choice
@Jonathanmschmitz thanks for the comment, well so far so good, i am practicing and i have decided to join the praise team :). wish me luck and i hope you continue your walk with christ
@Jonathanmschmitz Jesus doesnt want religion He wants a relationship. I think one of the enemy's best weapons is denominational walls that churches build. What would the world be like if all churches worked together in stead of independent groups? Thats why it can be "messy" because we are simple men trying to figure out things written by the Lord Himself. Good music bro - where to you worship at?
Jesus Christ did not come make religion and have religious followers. He wants your faith and obediance. He did not ask for your sacrifice in some religious precepts. When asked about the greatest commandments, he said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' "
@madkillah20 The bible says salvation not earn through own effort. Or any kind of religion can save you. It's the knowing of the lord our God our saviour that we need Him and only through Him, we can be saved. The knowing of God is more important than the knowing of religion.
@Subfightr Hey man, you do realize that religion and God are two separate causes right? God isn't religion.... it's actually pretty simplistic if you take the time to realize the meaning behind Christ.
@Subfightr i agree religion is interesting. Thats y i soo happy its not a religion its a relationship with someone who really loves you and died for you and wants good for you. love ya bros may God bless
Be blessed! Keep singing for Abba! He is soooo ministering to your brothers and sisters through you, bless-ed brother in Christ, and son of the Most High God.
