  • Jesus didn't come to create religion He came to create a relationship.. religion is merely a way to express that relationship to the world

  • @IAMAPEANUT1 Really?? did you not see my quotations!? You are a legalist, and you're ignorant.

  • people say religion is just a reaction to the unknown but at least with religion instead of nothing but theorys that change every decade or so and are just as without scientific 'proof' as religion

  • @jthunderbolt1233 you realize that the theory of religion changes just as often or more often then that of science, at first we were only 3000 years old, and dinosaurs didn't exist. Then we found fossils, and suddenly the bible was only metaphoric in its meaning of time, now carbon dating has been confirmed, and is no longer a theory, but fact, and religion has found explanations for that as well. So the changing of theories is an invalid reason to decide on religion as the correct "Theory"

  • @karutasilver I have learnt a lot since I posted this. It's not about the religion it's about the relationship. Religion changes a lot because it is all of man, trying to do things to be saved. Science is all about trying to prove things and it is also all of man. But humans don't and never will know everything. Because of this both science and religion are forever changing, but God is constant and forever the same so the relationship and the results of that relationship are always the same. :)

  • Religion is by faith, people only question God when they try to compare him to humans. He does the impossible because, yes, he is a God. Religions require faith and trust, not in the unknown, but, in the unseen.

  • most people dont know the difference between religion and faith

  • i really needed to hear this song. I accepted christ when i was three, and really got to know him in middle school. but the tensions of school and other things in my life made me more distant from God. I've been having difficulty stepping back into my close relationship with God and hearing this has made it easier not to stumble, and knowing that even if i do God will catch me. :)

  • "But I took this road so far from home, and distance came between us. When I walked away, I knew one day, I'd need Your grace"

  • It seem like the more I live the more I realize that I need to surrender everything to God. This is no living without GOD! <3

  • Love this song! sometimes i feel like the girl on the album cover.. But MAN DOES GOD COME THROUGH FOR ME!

  • that song is perfec when you feel alone

    

  • where the fuck is the "'love it'-button?!

  • @Jesusisthelord02 Don't forget to praise the songwriter too :) These guys have talent.

  • @VulcanFleet yea, But God gave the talent so.... PRAISE GOD <3

  • Whenever I hear a song about surrendering life, it sounds like a suicide song. Don't give up your life to death. Don't give up your freedom to God or anybody. Being yourself and living by your principles is how to truly survive.

  • @mirizzy: You better agree!!! Lol. :p

  • I got to see these guys in concert at a church lock-in and they were amazing (: I LOVE This Beautiful Republic! I have all of their songs

  • THis spells me out like a scrable game and i love it. i am not afraid to admit i'm a human and capable of nothing without My God and Savior Jesus Christ. i find no shame in Him but a love and acceptence this world will never know without Him. props to the guys of Beautiful REpublic for getting it out there.

  • Love this song. One of TBR's best.

  • how in the world do you "Dislike" this?! wow... this is heaven to my ears.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is beautiful. <3

  • thiss song gave me crazy shivers up my back

  • Religion is one of the best things that's happened to the world.

    Without it, there'd be even more chaos than there is now. This is all besides the point though, This Beautiful Republic aren't all about religion. They're about making meaningful music for the masses.

    Just enjoy the music. There's no point in arguements

  • hey if it makes you happy, thats all that matters... i guess i just prefer my answers a little more factual and my relationships a little more actual

  • @mommysellscrack you'd be surprised how factual the answers that you can find are, and how actual and very real that your relationship can be if you completely surrender to God. :)

  • This Song Deserves More Than a Like Button, It Needs a LOVE Button(:

  • This song is my new favorite song I absolutely love it. There's some really awesome videos you might like to see at a channel called Encouragement and Rescue. Truly lovely, which is meant for girls mostly. Walking the City, for anyone. I love your music. Been having a bad day and over the past few months I've been slipping away from God. This may be just what I needed, it's given me an ambition and helped me realize, I could be doing tons more for God and starting today, I will.

  • right now, this song is everything i am, i thank God for putting the insperation in front of thoughs who wrote this song.

  • wow i can't believe how much i can relate to this song, i haven't listened to this song in like a year and i used to listen to it all the time and it was just another good song and i loved it but now it's like its like the story of the past year of my life

  • @mommysellscrack ...Only this isn't a religion. It's a relationship. <3

  • @mommysellscrack ... Jesus Christ he is there for more than just problems, He is there for love He is there to show us that there really is a God that loves us and will give us an oportunity to live with him for the rest of eternity.

  • @mommysellscrack I disagree, i have found more answers in "religion" than i have found anywhere else...

  • @famguyluvr yes it is easy to find answers in religion but do not forget religion also brings many new questions. as an athiest i can see Mommysellscrack's point but i do not agree with it i believe religion is actually part of who people are. 

  • @famguyluvr something people fail to realize, is that "Christianity" is NOT a religion. it was never meant to be. its a relationship with the creator of all space and time. religion is corrupt, and i do not relate anything i hold in such high regard as God, Christ, and The Holy Spirit to something corrupt as religion. agreed?

  • @famguyluvr  I strongly agree

  • @technomuzik247 I divinely agree :p

  • @famguyluvr i agree with famguy

  • @famguyluvr That's sort of proving his point.

  • @famguyluvr I think that's what mommysellscrack's comment suggests. Religion offers comforting answers to the unknown, and that is one reason why you find more answers there. However, I find that religions tend to raise more questions than they answer. I did notice your comments are about a year old, so maybe someone has already posted a similar comment. If so, then sorry for not furthering the conversation.

  • @famguyluvr Really?? I have found more in my relationship with God than religion could EVER give me.

  • @mommysellscrack It's not religion mate, that's just following rules but as Christians we are encouraged to have a relationship with God and love Him so that we can have eternal life with Him in Heaven...It may sound silly i imagine if you don't think that there's a God but it is the truth. You need to go to church and you will believe shortly after. Try reading the new testament and learn that Jesus Christ did in fact exist and was sent by God to save us from our sin! 'More than a carpenter'...

  • @JonnyWiseGuy2764 AMEN BROTHA!

    

  • @mommysellscrack ...is a great little book to start off with by Josh Mcdowell- it's only cheap and just tells you a bit about the evidence for Christ and the resurection...then try Lee Strobel's books- 'The case for Christ' or 'The case for the real Jesus', there's a few of them from him you can get them cheap on amazon- but all brilliant and easy reads! Jesus loves you- always know that!

  • @mommysellscrack some religions maybe, but Christianity is historically and scientifically sound, more so than any textbook out there.

  • @mommysellscrack Listen people, i know this guy got alot of negative votes, don't take this in offence but he has a point. To deny this proves his point. You are afraid of the Truth.

  • This album came out on my birthday. xD

  • I love this song! So many Christian songs say God is great, so life is great. But just because we are Christians does NOT mean that we are exempt from life's pain and suffering. Just read the book of Job to learn that one. I'm working on surrendering and it's been a long process, but I'm not giving up. I don't like where I am right now in life, but I know God is there and I'm not alone.

  • Christianity is a life style not a religion.I am a Christian I Love JESUS.

  • this song is the story of my entire past year..

  • amei

  • i'm a buddhist but i like this song/band anyway

  • I saw them in concert. Ever since then i have been an obsessive freak! lol JK. I have a picture with Ben Olin. Its really sad that Ben left TBR. But i can't wait to hear him on his own!!!! This is one of the BEST songs ever!

  • love this soong <3

    we sing it in youth.

  • This song is so full of despair. Surrender, collapse, giving up your free will and your life, a world crumbling around you. It's a well-done song, but it has so much pain. I hope the singer is alright. He sounds so depressed... :`-( Get your life back on track dude, you're an awesome singer and life is good! Good luck.

  • @VulcanFleet Actually, surrender is a good thing. I think the song is about surrendering to what God wants for us. Sometimes we are stubborn and keep on trying to do things that aren't good for us and God just waits for us to realize it and to come back to Him. Yes, learning to fall, but then God catches us. It's giving up what I think I want, for what God has planned.

  • i really like the song..but dont hate me if i say im an atheist..

  • @becauseihavedance Christians who really love God like they should don't hate, so don't sweat it man, its all love in here :)

  • @becauseihavedance I was an Athiest

  • @becauseihavedance Can't convert you if we hate you ;) I only actions. We're all sinners. I hate the fact you don't believe in God, but I can't hate you for it, and I hope you find the true way, in Jesus Christ. Think about this question, what will happen to you when you die? Did we live this life for nothing? Are we just miraculously born, and die like the dust we are and that's it? There is too much in this life for us to just die for absolutely nothing.

  • @JCojocaru thanks..and i think of those things alot. but right now im just to angry to try and have a religion.

  • @becauseihavedance It's not about the religion man. Religion is basically for rules and crap like that. Think of it as a relationship with Christ. Religion is what's wrong with the world. But if we all have that relationship with Christ, the world can only be more peaceful and a great place to live. Leave the anger behind, it only leads to wrong, or it causes avoidance of goodness. I was angry and lonely and had a hard life myself, but I surrendered to Christ, and have had great happiness since.

  • @JCojocaru With a willing heart, with an open heart for Christ, pray for God to come into your heart. Read the word of God. I recommend a King James Bible. Any Bible that isn't "New" such as NIV/NKJV etc. The Bible is the word of God, written by people through the Holy Spirit.

  • @becauseihavedance dude we are not inviting you into a religion. :) we are inviting you to accept Jesus the one who shed His blood for all of us. :) God Bless you dude. :)

  • let go and fall. God have your way with us.

  • WOW. This song says EVERYTHING. If word gets out about this song, and people would take the time to look/listen to the lyrics, a lot of hearts would be saved.

  • *puts thumb up* Got that right Sister! ^-^

  • i luvv this song its coolz

  • i think some christians have the illusion that they are the strong ones. that they are doing all the work, but it's rlly god that brings them thru it all. it's rlly our lord and saviour the gives them that strength, it's rlly his strength. only the strongest of christians can truely surrender themselves to god by realizing this.

  • Comment removed

  • can i quote you on that?

  • @KrazyKat09 me? um sure idc

  • Amen. I used to be one of those, but then thorugh complications, I fell into the darkness of pain. He saved me, and now I see that truth.

  • @shikashadowpower yeah that is the truth. every time i try to rely on my own strength i tend to fail.(im a pretty strong person) with my Jesus though i can get through anything.

  • @shikashadowpower agreed

  • @shikashadowpower just so you know you spelled "God" with a lower cased g.

  • @InfernoAirsoft Ah! sorry =( God haha =)

  • GOOD song!

  • "So now, you'll find me on my knees, surrendering, 'cause i know that i am really not so strong."

    Turn to God. :)

  • does anyone know the chords or tab?

  • if you find out can you please send em my way :)

  • I don't want to spend this life in regret, knowing that in the end i could've given my everything to Jesus! - Tony Castaneda( the best youth leader :)

  • We're human. We make mistakes. We aren't meant to please Him 24/7. That doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but we have to accept that he is a loving God. And He sent his only son to die for us as a perfect sacrifice so that we may be forgiven in those times. Being a christian doesn't mean we're spared from pain. It means we have an amazing God to help us deal with it, and so we may live forever in His kingdom if we accept Him.

    Seek, and you shall find, guys.

  • i agree with you!

    being christian doesnt mean we live a solemn life that we dont enjoy things because we're refrained from doing this and that. but God makes us enjoy life in a right way. in a way that we become righteous. the joy sin brings here on earth can NEVER compare to the joy we can attain in heaven!

    "id rather live a life believing in God and at the end find out He doesnt than live a life without a God and at the end find out He really does exist."

  • i know i have been loosing it with all my family problems and im going and blaming my mom for everything and all i am doing is hurting me and her

  • That is so true thejesusforlife

  • God dozn't want u 2 trust him only during hard times. u hav 2 trust him w/ ur entire life. Ur friends's death, I kno it's very hard, wasn't b/c He dozn't love u. God saves evry1,He gives EVRY persn on this planet a chance, including u. it's us humans who r not moving to Him; we just wait 4 Him 2 work 4 us when WE need it. But God dozn't submit himself 2 any1 simply b/c He's God. The fact that u're the only survivor is a miracle right there. open up 2 him & try 2 understand what He wants from u.

  • that's what this song is about. Learning to fall. Learning to fall in the hands of God.

  • no disrespect to u and your views but we come form two different places. by this i mean i have been in war and i cant tell you how many times i prayed for god to keep us safe and you know what i came back with 2 dead guys. they were lke brothers to me.

  • some guys and gals are lost like me. i mean god dose not save soilders or marines. i am a officer in the United states Marine Corps i been to iraq 2 times and both times i lost about 20 guys guys that are 18-21 i am 27 been in the marines for 9 years now i spend nights thinking why did i live and they die. but in my view god did not help us once i saw a friend of mine get his leg blown off by a IED but me nothing happened minus a sacr over my eye. so god did not help us if he cares so much.

  • @riddler1993 God doesn't stop people from dying. I could tell you about The Plan, and how He lets people die for some grand scheme, but that probably wouldn't help much if you're grieving. The big thing to remember is that God doesn't see death as a bad thing, because technically its a promotion. You go to heaven and there are no wars or pain. So its a good thing.And that doesn't mean you stop missing the dead but it's not so sad. And God does save Marines, my dad's was a Marine and he's saved.

  • wow this song really hit home for me I came upon this band by accident cause I typed in One republic but Beautiful Republic showed up God had a reason for me to listen to this song. I have been falling away from Jesus for a while. I just don't know where I belong cause i love God but I feel like I fail him at times. This song made me cry. I miss my close relationship with God.Love this band

  • That's beautiful. [[:

    I've also, you could say, slipped away from Jesus.

    It's sad...

  • I know EXACTLY how you feel. But jesus is there by our side no matter how many times we fail him. I thought id run too far but god is clinging on to us even when were not clinging on to him.

    It's in the hardest of times he carries us

    God Bless

  • I so agree w/ u.....I feel so ashame of even asking HIM to 4give me...I'm not worthy of His forgiveness...I fear our Lord Jesus Christ and I need to get back in the right path...don't wanna be left behind!

  • i've been falling away from jesus....but now like the song says im surrending everything to him

  • thats awesome :) have u heard the song beautiful ending and i need you to love me by barlowgirl? they're really good too :)

  • its because if there is nothing beyond death, then everyone's ultimate end is the same, and people have no point to do anything if the end is inevitable. life has no purpose without God because without God, the end is death no matter the means. We tell people about God because it hurts our hearts to see souls that don't know the love of Jesus.

  • Jesus and religion are two different things. Religion is rules and regulations and Jesus is about relationship.

  • I totally agree~!

  • @meme4209 AMEN SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT!!!!

  • @meme4209 Amen Amen Amen And Amen

  • @meme4209 I totally agree. Christians don't believe in reincarnation, but I know that I have been reincarnated. I did something really bad in my last life but God gave me the chance to come back again and prove that I could be a good person and put right what I did wrong. My life this time around has been hard but I was given a second chance. I am not a Christian but I can feel 'something' or 'someone' watching over me.

  • @meme4209 THANK YOU! lol

    You wouldn't believe the amount of times I've tried to explain that to people who just don't get it!

  • @meme4209 best comparison I ever read! Thank you!

  • @meme4209 amen

  • @meme4209 I completely agree. I keep on telling people "it's not a religion, it's a relationship." If you go by the traditional religious people I don't think you'd consider me a "religious" person but I have a deep relationship with God. The church is full of people who NEED to have that reassurance every week, they NEED to be told the same thing over and over and over and they NEED to put money into a plate to feel like they've contributed something. Jesus himself said it's not about that..

  • @meme4209 This is something I'll say AMEN too. May God bless you for realizing this, my friend.

    P.S. this is an awesome song because of its great meaning!!!

  • bummer you think that, because if you have Jesus in your heart you live forever and you go not to the hell. And everyone have a religion because there are people they believe in them self of the believe in the real jesus etc. Without a religion everyone was depressed . I have one messaged for you: God blessed you.

  • just these lyrics are the experience of all genuine christians. And the outcome is the greatest which you won't find in this world. It's all about GOD

  • so many of this bands songs...im trying to get them into the song list for my praise and worship team at my church...

  • true surrender i love this song

  • o my gosh this song is amazing! im soooooo happy my cousin told me about it! it makes me cry!

  • this is a slap in your face kinda song. one that really makes you think and reconsider somethings. listen to the words closely with your eyes close and you see yourself and its just like what am i doing i need to get back to me and jesus <3

  • This song is a true symbol of my life right now...

  • Amazin Song
