  • Albertine...a wonderful song :)

  • brooke fraser has her tong periced??????

    so did not know

  • 'There's a little african child trapped in me'

    That song off Get him to the Greek is all I can think of when I watch this...

  • She I do beautiful. Is she half Maori?

  • I just got back from Rwanda and I am having a rough time explaining my feeling and thoughts of my trip there... this song explains it all. edit | remove

  • I'll like this a million times before it gets old to me!!!

  • i love this song... i spent last summer in Guatemala and not a day goes by where i dont think about the children i met i still hear their voices i still see their faces. i cannot let go of them :) i cry everytime

  • those are some big lips

  • Beautiful song, stop judging, let the Holy Spirit do His work. You should see the C.S. Lewis song also by her- I love it. Great truth in C S Lewis song

  • Piercing?... Can anyone tell me if it's not a sin to wear one?

  • @jof410 We should treat our body as a temple of the Lord. As for specifics, Do you have an earring in in your ear? or any other Christian you know?

    I like to take a lesson from Romans 14 to answer that.

    (To much to put it on youtube but you can BibleGateway it. ^-^)

  • I've always liked this song and I've always understood the message but now listening to it again after going to Ethiopia it moves me even more because it's so true... since I've held all of these children in my own arms,washed feet of people with elephantitis they suddenly don't all look alike to me anymore, I can't even start thinking of the fact that I will probably never know how these children ended up..I've seen so much suffering. volunteering there has opened my eyes to many things..

  • She has her tongue pierced !

  • God bless the beautiful people of Rwanda!

  • love the cause. remember the less fortunate and pick up and DO SOMETHING!

  • still love this song

    brook fraiser <3

  • she so hot !!!

  • Ah what sexy lips she have..<3

  • Ur music makes me actualy think about some things in this world. Fresh Feeling if you compare it to all the Songs that only consist out of parties, bling and bitches.

    Keep up the great work brooke, u inspire me:)

  • This song is so awesome. Everyone ses that but I just can't put it into words how I feel about this song. So I say awesome.

    I can't believe that 22 deaf people used youtube!!!

    seriously though, I can't believe 22 people can not see pure talent.

    that's sadder than sad.

    sorry, do't really care 4 capitols!! :P

  • I saw Brooke Fraser live a couple of years ago, she's epic. She just swapped from the piano and then she went to the guitar in the same song.

  • "Faith without deeds is dead." Amen

  • such a good song. so powerful.

  • This song made me cried when I first heard it. I was about to head over to my first missions trip to Thailand. It made me excited to see God's hand upon all nations and His love. Her story and voice will captivate people

  • Thank you so much for posting this song.

    It is so beautiful.

    Pray for Rwanda.

    Brooke is amazing.

    I will always be her fan.

  • her handwriting is FLAWLESS

  • What a beautiful person. It's amazing to see God's heart come out through her so clearly

  • A heartwarming experience for Rwanda. I was lead to pray and have compassion for them. God loves you. THANKS BROOKE FRASER. Praying that you'll continue to do the will of God in your life. God bless!

  • @lucylramayla : Thanks (in the name of me and my brothers and sisters ;) We appreciate your prayers!

  • love her song its more about the kids than us we have got alot but not them THINK AND LISTEN TO HER LYRICS

  • AAAH!!! AMAZING SAUCE!! Brooke Fraser, you are right my friend. Faith without deeds is dead. Preach it giiirl! You go! Mmmmhmmmm.

  • To Gail Mejia:

    Its time to MOVE.

    Faith without Deeds is dead.

    I pray that God will give you Dreams and Visions.

    He has something for you.

    Always be on the watch.

    Always be Filled by the Spirit.

  • @katnisseverdeen17 dude. i think your using my account ... kyla. p.s. please wag mo basahin mga msgs. at paki logout diyan sa comp. mo.

  • Agh. This is my heart right here. The only difference is that I'm not known by anyone, therefore I won't be on a stage with a thousand eyes on me. I so wish I could be, so I could at least have some kind of impact, so I could make some kind of promise that I'd tell the world... But who can I tell?

  • @awesome3271 Where you are now in life is where God has purposefully put you, He doesn't make mistakes, and He's DESIGNED you for your Sphere of influence. You can do it, go into your neighborhood, schools, etc. You don't have to do something later when you're on a stage, God wants you to do something now in the meantime. :) God Bless!

  • I was close to tears when she performed this is London, 2007 :')

  • As a person who served in Rwanda in 1995, I live the emotions Brooke is singing about almost every day. I see the faces, I hear the voices, I feel the sadness. I hope this song brings some help to the people of Rwanda.

  • Now that you have seen, you are responsible.

  • She has such a pretty voice<3

  • As a missionary in Rwanda, I am glad that someone takes the time to not only look at their pain and suffering, but also write a song for one of them.

  • i luv so much this song and u are so simple....ohh my God!!! Thank u for coming to discover my btfl country. u are the best.

  • excelentee cancion

  • "Brooke Fraser Albertine unofficial Remix"

  • I really don't get what the fuss is all about, if God judged by appearances or measured righteousness on flesh we all would fall short. I love this song, its a true heart cry...don't just listen, hear the song.

  • She is such an inspiration.

  • i love her voice, and her open passion for God. (: so inspring.

  • As great as her heart seems to be. It is sad to see the negative things about her influencing sooo much. Unfortunate to say that. I think her music is beautiful. But where is truth and where is Christ in all of this. The truth is it is hard to speak truth. No one wants to hear it. We all just want to feel good. Get a tattoo get a piercing just don't lie to yourself about what you are saying to the world. We don't need to do any of that to "prove" anything to anyone especially Jesus.

  • @wallaceju where is truth and christ in all of this? Homes, you are obviously VERY confused. Jesus died on the cross so that we wouldn't have to abide by the old testament laws..in this, he looks toward the heart. You don't know her heart so stop judging. To some, a tongue peircing may cause them to sin but to others it does not. I wouldn't get a peircing (my ears aren't even peirced!) but i wouldn't play God and condemn someone wrongfully b/c of it. Listen to the words instead of judging.

  • I don't care about her tongue piercing either. I want to get a tat of JESUS CHRIST on somewhere on my body. I LOVE HIM THAT MUCH!

  • Faith without deeds is dead... Let that sink in. If we have faith in the Lord, how can we do nothing? How can we sit back and let people Like Brooke Fraser try to help the world all alone? We can all make a difference, if not in Rwanda then in your town! I'm 14 and I'm trying so hard to make a difference. Faith without deeds is dead, lets all have some faith and get to work, this world needs help!

  • @Iloveyou1234572 God bless you, your understanding and your faith. May He keep you and guide you always.

  • Comment removed

  • @Iloveyou1234572 Amen. What incredible wisdom from someone who is 14. What an incredible heart you have, maintain that. Keep stoking your fire for the Lord and watch as He continues to build you into a mighty warrior for Him. God bless you as you keep seeking His will.

  • Amazing! I just stumbled across her song while working on a paper and I fell in love instantly! She is doing something wonderful with her talent. I'm still reeling after listening to it many times.

  • Amazing! I just stumbled across her song while working on a paper and I fell in love instantly! I'm still reeling.

  • This song is beautiful. It gave me chills when I first listened. It's message is so good and so true.

  • Ilove that she quotes from the book of James

  • Great song! People need to understand that you can't control what other people post. It shouldn't affect you. The message you get from it is more important then what someone thinks.

  • everyone, please, SHUTUP ABOUT HER TONGUE PIERCING. SHE IS AN AMAZING SINGER SO GET THE FUCK OVER HER TONGUE PIERCING.

  • what is this song about really? its an amazing song

  • @nothingtoware I think its about that she’s seen Rwanda’s needs, she’s experienced and felt for Rwanda, and if she just left Rwanda she would be guilty of neglecting it, she is saying she is going to do something about the needs out there, like she kinda has to... like she cant expect it to get better without her doing her part (faith without deeds is dead) ... sorry vie explained that pretty rubbishy ... hope i helped?

  • @aaabigail24 No, it helped! I understand now thank you so much :)

  • she'll regret on her deciding to pierce her tongue

  • I am sitting still... I think of Angelic

  • The eyes of the child at 0:50 are SO penetrating...wish I could meet him. And how I love Brooke Fraser!!!! If you ever wondered what angels sound like just listen to her singing, especially her Christian songs <3

  • its wonderful... makes you feel like floating on air when you close your eyes...

  • Brooke fraser always reminded me of Lara croft : /

    ...you see it dont you?

  • I am not religious and I know she is a highly devout christian, but I love this song for how moving it is. The message in this song is of love - and I think that no matter what religion you are, love is all that matters. =)

  • @MissJuicyCathy i agaree with you.

  • hot tongue ring

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • This makes me cry. After my graduation I'm planning to go and do voluntary work for Projects Abroad. Like Brooke Fraser says, we're all responsible for each other, so therefore it's only right to do so. I love the message in this song, I love the purity of Brooke Fraser.

  • That's really sad that the only thing some people get from this video is her tongue piercing. This song is so beautiful and powerful and she's doing something very profound. Perhpas less judging and more focusing on the actual message she's trying to get across would be more fruitful. She is an amazing woman of God who is constantly doing good deeds for people in need.

  • Great Singer, huge meaning in this song its beautiful!!!

  • wow! just WOW.

  • It doesn't matter what God you believe in or what your beliefs are. This is a beautiful song, with a beautiful message about helping others. Just enjoy how pretty it is =)

  • Okay, we get it, she has her tongue peirced. GET OVER IT!!! Maybe you should start focusing on the meaning in the lyrics and the people in the video. Stop stating the obvious, we can all see that she has her tongue done. BUT We also see that there are people in countries of poverty who have very little, if not nothing and need our help. But, no, all you care about is her tongue.

    This is an AMAZING song. I adore her for having the brains to make a video like that :) She has an amazing voice too

  • The beauty of her soul is in this song...

  • i love this song, has a great message to it. check out my channel for my brooke cover :)

  • Shes so beautiful. I Love her tongue piercing. And this is an awesome song with awesome lyrics. :D

  • She is a beautiful person with a beautiful message! I don't recall Jesus speaking about body piercings in His Sermon on the Mount. Let's not judge!

  • Lovely song.

  • "Faith without deeds it's dead"

    Favorite phrase from this song!! :)

  • stop focusing on her tongue and listen to her WORDS. get over it.

  • i just wonder how her tongue piercing will help tell the story of Albertine???

  • cuz shes sexy!

  • @eastpatdog amen to that!!

  • WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE PIERCING ON HER TONGUE?

  • hai....also its my resonsible, i m from INDIA, can u condect ur program in india, in bangalore or chennai, n also one thing i dont know correct english, but its really giving hope, energy, evrytng........ CAN U..........

  • awesome ! brooke has a tongue piercing :D haha. she's cool

  • I'm disturbed by the number of dislikes

  • I can't help but hurt for these children. It breaks down all those superficial barriers inside of me and I can't help but feel pain at seeing tragedy.

  • @Riordanoan You have seen this video now, what do the lyrics say? Now that I have seen, I am responsible.....What will you do with the responsibility you've just been given? :) The reason this song was written is to move people to actually do something, you don't have to travel there, there is so much more you can do.

  • @ThedancingChef amen to that!

  • how could you possibly dislike this video!!

    I'm actually quite astounded.

  • This is the most amazing song I've ever heard.

  • Hope with all my heart that those who are without are comforted this time around.....and always.

  • i love this its suc ha beautiful song

    u can tell alot of thought has gone into this song!!

  • @dvn: i think it's sadder that this was over 3 minutes of hurting people in need of love and all you saw/cared for was her tongue....

    now that's what's really sad.

  • @dreamynight omg..i couldnt agree more!! judging people..... not focusing on the point

  • @TheVDN pretty hot i think ;)

  • i luv this song.. it makes me think a lot about life.... about Africa .... 

  • Betty Official Video Available

  • someone sent me this scripture tonight....thought it was really encouraging so im sharing it with you.all those who suffer,or are reaching out to those in need.

  • Job 5:8-12 (New International Version, ©2010) 8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.

    9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

    10 He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside.

    11 The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

  • this song reminds me of whats going on in my country.....thankfully i have this. not Rwanda...St.Lucia

  • pray for St.Lucia,and do something ..Hurricane Tomas caused great disaster for us.

    Check my channel for videos if you are interested.

    Jesus will get us through it.

  • this is why we pray OUR FATHER AND NOT MY FATHER...we are called to be our brother and sister's keeper...beautiful song

  • what exactly is a troll? not the mythical humanoid, but the 'trolls' spreading negativity all over youtube

  • this song is SO powerful.

  • By the way, 8realist and interested folk, this came from Isaiah 37. One of my favorites. I LOOOOOVE hearing about GODS power. If there are any beleivers who have a testimony about how GOD delivered you or someone you know or heard about out of severe danger or bad situation, please inbox me. All jerks and trolls, you will simply be deleted. And trolls, jerks keep this in mind: Remember you are attacking JESUS, not the other way round. Which in the end makes you seem needy. Which is y u need HIM!

  • 1 sec ago @8realist 29Because your raging against Me and your arrogance and careless ease have come to My ears, therefore will I put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way you came.

    36And the [b]Angel of the Lord went forth, and [c]slew 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when [the living] arose early in the morning, behold, all these were dead bodies.(D)

  • @peacheslovesjesus One angel, dude, ONE! You, me, no human being can beat an angel. CHRISTians have power through JESUS CHRIST name and blood and HIS WORD over the devil and his camp, but non beleivers, FORGET IT-even the "good ones". The devilis NOT your homeboy. And I know, "8", you don't believe in the devil. he don't care, because thats even better in his eyes. No harm, no foul he will have you to beleive. FOUL!!! You are the type that GOD can use in a MIGHTY way. And man, u'll be so blessed

  • @8realist continued: I don't wish for you to be raped, but GOD is very powerful and very real. Meaning...HE doesn't care if you are a beleiver or not. BUT if HE ever gets to the point where you piss HIM off enough, HE will HURT YOU...BBBBBBBAAAAAAADDDDDDD! Need proof: The king of Assyria was talking smack just like you. GOD finally got tired of it. Read- Isaiah 37: 28But I [the Lord] know your sitting down and your going out and your coming in and your raging against Me.

  • "a thousand eyes on me... i will tell them" wow so powerful. she has such a big heart. beautiful song and lovely girl from the inside out! <3 Amazing!

  • Assisti essa merda em prol de Jeffinho.bh famoso como chá gelado...quem quiser mandar um e-mail jefinho.bh@live.com

  • Comment removed

  • wow she is just so gorgeous. the man that gets her will be one lucky guy

  • "I am on a stage, a thousand eyes on me...I will tell them Albertine"

  • does she have a tongue ring?

  • @crzychk77 yes.

  • and the dust on and the dust on and the dust on and the dust on and the dust on...my feet

    Rwanda

  • there are many ppl on youtube trying to bring us down, so lets lift each other up. we are one family. we are at different points in our walk. :) GO WORLD VISION!!

  • @bassmanforchrist YEA-AH!!! PREACH!!!!

  • theyre are many ppl on youtube trying to bring us down, so lets lift each other up. we are one family. we are at different points in our walk. :) GO WORLD VISION!!

  • Its funny, she sings about me! My name is Albertine... 

  • @8realist obvious troll is obvious.

  • all i know is ths song is deffinately appointed and annointed. you know when a song just bleeds the Holy Spirit, like a great worship song? yeah, this ones like that. Gods heart is in this for sure. the harvest is so huge that God needs more people to take it all in. now is the time.

  • @8realist JESUS CHRIST loves you. But I have a funny feeling you believe this, yet you need proof, so you hope that by insulting HIM that HE will treat you like a puppy pulling at HIS masters shoe hoping for a smack of attention? HE knows the reason why you insult HIM and will not kick a boy/girl if he is down. But, be careful. You are not in the family of CHRIST, which allows you protection from HIS angels, according to Psalm 91. Meaning, the devil has access to you, allowing satan to rape you

  • @8realist 37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed and returned and dwelt at Nineveh. 38And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons killed him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Armenia or Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

    The king didn't believe and guess what, he never got a chance to. Oh he had a chance, but he wasted being a jerk. Don't play with GOD, you will NOT win!

  • @peacheslovesjesus Flip that's so true!! God nos everything and when you try and challenge him you won't every win no matter who is on your side! And anyway why would you want to challenge God who is so flippin tank and loves you unconditionally!

  • Comment removed

  • aw.... those kids.

  • @usurynation , obviously you have never been to Africa, I have actually, to Rwanda for a long period of time , and I have discovered that Africans are caring and loving and well mannered. I am so annoyed that you discriminate against africans and african americans, its only people like you who are racist and discriminate and live with hate , that make the world a worse place, which answering youre question is something that we have caused

  • She has her tongue pierced! I did not know that!

  • When people give this song a ''dont like'' does that mean that they dont care about the people in this world that are poor?

  • nice song

    she is singing my name

  • @17lovegirl haha, thats funny :)

  • To answer you question Albertine is an orphan Brooke meet.

  • Just one question. Who, or where, is Albertine? Is it a village in Rwanda?

  • @oaso1t10Hitgtm Albertine, She's a little girl Brooke Fraser met,

    i did a school project on the back ground of this song and it was horrible finding out what i did and the meaning of this song, soo beautiful this song is

  • @oaso1t10Hitgtm Albertine is the name of a child Brooke met while in Rwanda

  • beautiful kiwi girl,nice song.

  • Beautiful song , beautiful women

    some of your comments are ridiculous

    "Love your neighbor as you love your self "

    keep up the great work.

  • @usurynation Thats not what she meant =.= she meant: Now that I've seen what's going on over there, if I don't do anything about it, then I'm as guilty as "the maniacs of the world" as you call them ^^'

  • I cried reading the lyrics for this before I had even heard the song.

    <3 Brooke Fraser

  • @solid300spartan

    What is inherently wrong about a piercing? This does not make her less capable of loving Jesus. It is a personal life choice and is her right to do so. God won't judge her for having a bit of metal in her mouth. By that logic, getting fillings would be a problem too.

    Try to be accepting of other people's personal choices Solidspartan.

    It makes the world a more interesting place to live in :)

  • i must say all the religious talk of christ and what not annoys be just a tad.

  • @missyxxmischa Well she is a Christian with a big Christian following so it's going to happen.

    If you look on 100huntley's page then you'll see her recent interview and in it she explains everything about the song and the experience that inspired it.

  • @celp88 yes yes i realise that now. She talked about her christian following in a recent nz interview. Saying how in alot of her songs, she isnt making references to christianity or god or whatever, but it just gets interpreted that way, which is fine by her.

  • I heard this song for the first time Sunday night at KUMC's concert for missions. It's a beautiful song and this young lady is very talented and has a heart for the Lord. Love listening to her music and the message her songs hold.

  • @623jjingram i love that fact about this song..so many go,but she seems to care,by telling the world.now,we must pray for them..if we only knew what was really going on in some of these countries,we'd vomit,and serve God better...

    Just a thought.:-)

  • I think 20 people missed the like button! Brooke Fraser as an amazing voice!

  • This is a beautiful song, breaks my heart every time, it shows the true nature of a kiwi! I am proud to be a kiwi and thankful to live in New Zealand i am so blessed we have so much compassion and Brooke is a great example for us all. Beautiful inside and out!!!!! Check out another kiwi singer song writer Maisey Rika she sings about Romanian orphans its sad but another example of a beautiful person inside and out!

  • @rosekyracyris go us kiwiws we have all been blessed to live in nz ;)
