Common man`s reasons why god does not exist A) total absence from from natural events, No sig of a god before, during or after natural events. B)The total absence of favoritism towards believers. Even church steeples need lightning rods for protection against god.C) The absence of any reaction, when crimes are committed in his name. D) The suffering of the innocent. One could accept suffering of the guilty, but little children
thank you. I learn this song in about 10 minutes from you. able to sing well and play well. Oh the most helpful is that you are lefty. my hand is just mirror your chords. thanks
Perfect, perfect,perfect ! Oh, did I mention this is perfect? This is the best version I have ever heard! I cannot stop listiening to it. God has blessed you so much.
this is pretty inspirational bro... people these days just want to sing about sex and drugs... about time we can find somebody putting music videos on youtube for Jesus!!! ROCK ON MAN!!! GOD BLESS!!!
Joe, I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said about your awesome job on this song and all of the others you have done, But..... WOW !!!! I Would like to know if I can get the tab & or chord used in this song (the way you do it) ??? Thanks!! GOD BLESS!!! Big Al
Amazing. You have a God-given talent. Way to use it to glorify him. Do you take requests? If so, can you do Washed by the Water by NEEDTOBREATHE? I would really appreciate it.
Wow! Brother you rock. You have a cool voice and play guitar good. I like the rythem of this song. Awesome job! May God continue to bless you so you can bless others.
I'm trying to learn this song and can't find the chords. Have you transposed it to key of G, because I think it was recorded in A, right? I see your Capo on the 2nd fret. Could you please send me the chords?
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23
Truly awesome work. I think the acoustic version (on the Collector's Edition) is so much more inspiring than the electric version. You do a fantastic job with great skill of conveying that same worshipful experience--all with playing and singing solo! You are very talented, and I hope you'll know the Lord's favor to keep singing and playing for Him. Bless you, brother!
I don't understand why we haven't yet seen you out there commercially. You are AWESOME Joe!!
Outstanding! You deserve all the best, and I pray for you to receive it. The world needs to hear The Praise you give our Lord. Awesome job, just Awesome.
This song is actually great to play this way - it builds in the prechorus and really soars in the chorus. Anyone trying to use this as a congregational song will have to drop it down. Joe's doing it in the original key of B (using a capo on 2nd fret to allow chords of A, D, E & F#m). If you don't like F#m then you can move the capo up two frets and use G, C, D, Em. I think these chords with capo 2 are about OK for a congregation.
Thanks for this moving rendition. You have a great gift. I belong to a Christian band and this video encourages me to continue using the gifts God has given to me.
Very nice...Good Cover...But..one bit of critique...As a fellow musician...Just letting you know that you tempo fluctuates horribly...You start off slow, then in the chorus you keep speeding up, then slowing down..other than that..beautifully done.
And I love this. Just wish I could sing that good. Actually his tempo ranges from 82bpm at the start to 87.5 at the end which is absolutely fine. No live music will keep a constant tempo, its called playing with feeling.
Hi Joe!! All ready Commented this video,just wanted to hear it again your voice keeps pulling me back for more! 5 stars would give more but I was told only 5 counts xoxoxo Mimi
Just superb! I am introducing this song to our congregation as our first new song for 2008. I usually make a demo for the praise team to learn from, but I think I'll just send them your link as anything I could come up with would pale in comparison. Most excellent!
Joe you are an awesome young man I am sure God blesses you every day for all you do and in the way you spread his love and acknowledge our Lord to the world! I give you 5 stars X 20 = 100
Wow. You know all the people playing Christian songs on youtube get very good ratings and comments because only Christians would view those videos and so I thought a lot of times "Wow! They're being really generous." Of course we can't be cruel and say "You Suck!" But I'm finally glad to find a truly wonderful video which deserves all 5 stars. This is my first time bothering to post a comment or make a rating on youtube because it was very inspiring! Keep it up! God Bless!
Joe, you Rock!! Dude, it's so awesome to see God's presence in people and you my friend are very blessed! Thanks for all the encouragement man, we can never have too much. Stay blessed bro! God is Love
Good job bro u have a good voice thumbs up
