thats exactly how i feel like if there was time where i cant be with God anymore like he has left me and then i realize that the only reason im still alive is becouse of him that the only reason that the sun shines in my life is bc of him and no matter what people or what can of feeling i feel hes always here with me loving me saying that im his Son and that he loves me and thats the reason that he died in the cross i cant see life if it wasnt bc of him GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Very sincere and emotional song. Sad events can make you thing that god's is not with you, and i think it's not god's fault. Many people says, is Jesus loves why did he take your beloved ones, o make you suffer?. i don't know god's ways but I'm defenitily sure that Jesus can make everything new and good. Even a very sad moment as dead can be a glorius moment and can gives you strength if you keep beliving. I'm pretty sure this event gived Michael the trial to make great things
@finalismo wow, well said ! i just wish i could just keep holding on when i am weak... it is SO DAMN HARD!! but then i look at the shit he's been through and i feel pretty stupid ...that dude can sing
@TheRagman666 I am so sorry about your wife. You sound like you are speaking out of anger and hurt. That is understandable. I hope one day you will see the goodness of God, because He loves you and has all the things that you are searching for.
@TheRagman666 Hahaha Ragman, everybody dies mang. Not exactly God's doing. I've been trainin' and losing weight like a sum bitch so that I may join the Marines, and if my ass hit's an IED or a dirka runs over to me with a bomb strapped to his chest and blows me up, then it's just my time to go. I'm not preaching, I do believe in God, but believe me when I tell you I don't have high hopes of getting past those pearly gates.
AlYassou3Rabbi, i agree with you 110%!! Keep preaching the good word!!! Even though people don,t seem to be listning, sometimes your words sink in, and they do find God!!! Don't give up the fight!!! God bless!!!
"Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
That is the God of the Jews speaking there to the prophet Isaiah.
Satanism is a religion, the bible offers you faith and hope. If you listen to the testimony on my page you will get a better idea of where I am coming from when I tell you, I spent my teenage years immersed in that stuff, looking for answers. I found mine. I hope you can find yours"
There is more to life than what we see here. I have suffered and am surviving cancer, I have lost friends and family despite earnest prayers of lots of people. God's word tells us that His ways are not our ways.
We are not puppets, we are not pawns, we are part of a great mechanics that our finite human minds cannot understand in this world.
We must trust Christ and repent to gain eternal life, and one day that understanding.
Yea God should have made children and Christians indestructible! ? Would that be living or would that be God's little puppets? Fact the matter is children are born sinners and Christian are sinners, We are Free to choose and life's is not Gods play ground but full of His children he loves and died for.
@TheRagman666 God is not nor has he ever been concerned in the state of anyones fleshly body. Flesh and blood do not inherit the kingdom of God, only the soul and that is the only portion of your being that God has any interest in. The bible says it is appointed unto man to die, not HOW you will die or WHY, only that you WILL.
@TheRagman666 If you knock I'll open the door Don't forget about the golden rule Love me with all your heart If you give me just that one request We will never be apart Your life it means so much to me You've been abused in every way Everyone on earth has let you down now come try me They're breakin they're takin you down, they're Willin to kill you right now they're Breakin they're takin you down.........
hey TheRagman666, guess what, we live in a sinful world full of hate and death and destruction. I have had so many personal experiences of God with that you know what? He is real. Open your heart and your eyes! This stuff happens for a reason. I have a teacher who knew someone's son who was a believer in a non believing family and this boy prayed, "God, whatever it takes, bring my family to Christ". a day later, this boy died. But you know what? His family are now a part of the family of Christ.

i just want to say were was god for his wife, a great family loving gods word and living his way, ha were was he? now where because an all loving god does not do that their is truely no god , go to a childrens hospital and you will see god would not have that no one would,.
sadly i beleive kyle and most cancer patients are killed by the treatments instead of the cancer itsself.read the book "the answer to cancer by dr. coldwell. he has the biggest success rate on earth for cancer survival at 92% mainstream medicin has a 2% survival rate. sad that michael and his wife fell victim to the mainstream medical establishment.
TheRagman666, I read what you said and understand your perspective. I ask that you read my reply with the same respect. Ants are smarter than humans (Bare w/me plz) at least they prepare for a storm. They take rocks out in the sun to warm eggs in winter. Yet, an ant on a playstation controller has no clue what is up. Does that make them stupid? No. God does not see death as scary like we do. Just a transition. Does that make us stupid? No. A video game to a ant, may be like us understanding God
Stryper is my favorite band, since Honestly. Michael Sweet's songs has touched my heart and life. Alive is the best one yet! Thank u so much, Robby Woodcock
Here's the story of the MBP cover! Stryper held a worldwide contest to see who could come up with the best MBP cover design. Some dude in South America won the contest and Stryper used his picture for the cover.
What a beautiful song!!! Lot of feelings As always, Michael Sweet showing his heavenly voice!!!. I Love Stryper, God Bless Them!!... Saludos desde Hermosillo, Mexico
excelente cancion, gloria a JESUCRISTO por la vida de stryper,que gran uncion, yo escucho a stryper desde 1987 y siguen con el mismo power sigan asi !!!!
Everyone calls this their comeback album but it's not. Their "Comeback" started with the 7 Weeks Live In America tour in 2003 which led to their album Reborn 2005 which brings us to Murder By Pride.
Boy, this song made me cry. :( I really feel for Michael. My mom and dad both died from Cancer. I even helped care for my mom for four years. It was tougher than hell on my brother my mom and me. We got through it in the sense that she died at home knowing we loved her so. My brother and I were right by her side. So, I have a real sense of what Michael and his kids have experienced. God bless them.
Folks please show stryper your support by buying the music, even if just a few tunes from Apple. Michael's family and all the guys will appreciate the support!
From the emotion that this song displays, it is possible that Michael wrote this song while his beloved wife Kyle was battling cancer. With the unfortunate loss of that fight, this song sounds like how Michael has coped with his loss. The lyrics speak volumes.
*** I just, it truly is hard to even type about this.....soooooo Moving!!
The WHOLE song... I Love the Church Bell ringing towards the end and then a little bit of organ sound in there....Thank You GOD for every breath, EVERY day of Life.
What a song!! I have followed stryper since 86 and love all their music. This has to be the comeback record of their career! Stryper rules! The best Christian rock band ever!!.
SPEECHLESS!! I do not know the last time I have COMPLETELY WEPT, CRIED,, WEPT WEPT AND CRIED through a song. Best Ballad since HONESTLY! Oh my, have cried the last 30 minutes STRAIGHT. STRYPER has brought the Rock Melodic Ballad of 2009.
3 weeks till the album...THANKS for posting the Lyrics. THANK YOU LORD, for Renewed Strength!!!
(Verse 1) Listen, birds dont sing anymore Waves dont crash on the shore 'Cause You dont love me anymore See, the morning sun doesnt shine And the moons nowhere to find 'Cause You dont love me anymore Then I realize - Im Alive, Ill survive I was only dreaming that our love died Im Alive, Ill survive Ill never stop believing
(Verse 2) Feel, theres no wind in my hair Theres no warmth from the suns glare 'Cause You dont love me anymore Stand, theres no ground to walk on Theres no one to lean upon 'Cause You dont love me anymore (Chorus) (Tag) Listen, the birds are singing once more The waves are crashing on shore Because You love me....
I cry wen i listen to this cause my girlfriend dumped me and my life is miserable.

@TheRagman666 Yes blind faith.
Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.
The bible, Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
I love the good book, it has an answer for everything. Now go read Psalm 14:1
