[7of9unimatrix1]

I can't unscramble eggs. :o)

[YOUrmypal68]

She has a great Christmas album - I listen to it EVERY Christmas

[humptydig]

I dont believe theres a god i lost my faith when my mother allowed me to be sexually abused . i find it difficult to believe a "god" so pure would create monsters like the ones ive known.

[TheBrierose]

@humptydig My God is a beautiful Father who loves and cares for me like no man, or woman, on earth ever could!

[SURVIVORSSPEAKOUT]

@humptydig I know what your talking about Remember you are not alone I too have experienced major betrayal and abuse by my parents We did not choose our parents and this is why we need to find ways to protect children from being abused and trapped in families that are abusive

[YESHUAISMERCIFUL]

wonderful song ;(

[greggmercer]

Hey Sween...at our church the prostitute wins out over the pharisee everytime. Sounds to me like you have become as those who paid silver for inocent blood. Love ya' buddy in Christ, but loose the legalism. Or maybe you enjoy being a "whitewashed tomb" or a "clean cup on the outside"

[Sween9261]

God says those who love Him keep His commandments (John 14:23), and His commandments are not burdensome (1John 5:3). Those who do not love Him do not keep His words (John 14:24). People who are born of God do not continue sinning (1John 3:9); people who continue sinning have not seen Him and do not know Him (1John 3:6). Amy Grant rejects His Word (1Cor 7:10-11), and continues in on-going adultery (Mark 10:12). God says don't be deceived: adulterers have no inheritance in His Kingdom (1Cor 6:9).

[athiessen]

I believe it's "I have a new found "Hope" :)

[7of9unimatrix1]

@EndTimeEndorphins it's "new found hope"

[earthalien77]

Love this singing...sung straight from the heart.

[7of9unimatrix1]

1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. BUT if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the father in our defense ....

JESUS CHRIST, the RIGHTEOUS ONE.

2: Not only for our sins but for the rest of the world.

"Yeah we can sit here an isolate bible versus all day, but the truth of the matter is

that in the end God has the last word.

"His mercy endureth for EVER!"

[Sween9261]

Hebrews 6:4-6: For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

[TheCatlikeLew]

and it is MUCH APPARENT that you are totally incapable of acknowledging YOUR OWN SIN Sween9261  If you can't acknowledge it, then:

YOU CAN'T REPENT OF IT!!!!

Clean yourself up, before you go advising others. I won't listen to you and no one else will, if you can't be honest with yourself, and repent.

[Sween9261]

Christ Jesus says (John 14:24): He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.

When Amy Grant sings about loving God, the obvious question to ask her is: Then, why don't you believe Him and keep His commandments? In view of God's statement that the sexually immoral have no inheritance in the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10), how can Amy Grant's on-going state of adultery (Mark 10:12) give good witness to God's Kingdom?

[cmdesign01]

It's not merely about sin...she's human and like all of us need Jesus. But Christians are called to more ...and repentence is apart of that. What about holiness and glorifying God with a heart that lives only for him..with no excuses and no sweet christian "sentimatity". We weren't given our gifts to sing, dance, paint, whatever to just bring us comfort but to glorify God. I don't judge her heart God calls the Christian to a higher standard than just a life of warm fuzzies.

[AALEXX11xx11]

Verlorene Unschuld. Wenn wir unsere Unschuld verloren haben und es erkennen, dann erkennen wir, WIE wichtig es ist, das Jesus unsere Schuld trägt. Wunderbarer Song.

[yeeeaaawhooo]

Hebräer 6:4-6: Denn es ist unmöglich, die, so einmal erleuchtet sind und geschmeckt haben die himmlische Gabe und teilhaftig geworden sind des heiligen Geistes und geschmeckt haben das gütige Wort Gottes und die Kräfte der zuküstigen Welt, -- wo sie abfallen, wiederum zu erneuern zur Busse, als die sich selbst den Sonn Gottes wiederum kreuzigen und für Spott halten.

[freddytk421]

Why is everyone so hard on Amy Grant for getting a divorce? It's a worse sin to masterbate. "better you seed fall in the belly of a whore" GODS WORDS not mine. and every

(verile)man does this or has done this act regularly, including your dad, grandpa and priest/preacher. And why do you care if she sins, more room in heaven for you.

[alwaysworship]

It's on her album, "Simple Things." It's also available as a performance track. : )

[tim888222]

Those without sin, throw the first stone.

This is a great song that simply describes life. The process of growing and learning.

[GendutLho]

Szonja101 We should forgive her because our God has forgiven her. Who can stand a junkie husband like Gary Chapman at that time? love Amy, She inspire me

[shintahemora101]

I love this song but do you have the origanal recording for the CD? If you do could you please post it, I can't find it anywhere

[Fireyxin]

lol it looks like shes shaking an avocado! I still love the song.

[veelighted7]

This song is about her coming to terms with her sing of divorce and the emotions that led to that divorce> This whole album is about her repentance and her new found hope--and peace.

God has forgiven her, so should we.

I love you Amy!!

[Szonja101]

er why should god forgive her? for divorcing with her husband?

[veelighted7]

God does forgive us, all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, says the Bible. Amy is paying for her sin--all her life she will pay, she has to feel the regret, the shame, the sorrow, the sin and the pain--as well as do her children. God is a God of restoration.

blessings, vee

[otter4771]

Please. She has nothing to be sorry for. She is really way too hard on herself. It takes two to tango. If it isn't there anymore after many many tries, it's time to move on.

Amy, you're fine. And always was.

[o7jimmy]

I love the songs and singing of Amy Grant. Thanks for sharing the Gospel of LOVE. :)

Bro. Jimmy

[jlovzj]

I love this song. I love Amy period! Thanks!

[Heidiscope]

I think she was a bit sick when she sang this but still awesome!

[worshipHim4]

I love this song. It speaks volumes of heartfelt moments we all have. Only in the love and grace of God do I find peace and comfort.Abba Daddy is the place to go.The blood of Jesus wipes away all regret and guilt of sin and regret of past wrongs and mistakes. He is our High Priest forever.Lisa

[logos120]

That's Lovely Lisa... Thank you.

[worshipHim4]

Thank you for sharing and posting this song. Great job logos120. God Bless.Lisa

[njnsawh]

i have this song my teacher gave the whole cd to me well, my whole class

[itsyvonne]

It's not about Amy's own experiences--in fact it is one of the rare times she recorded a song that she didn't have a hand in writing. The song was pitched to her by a friend (maybe her manager? can't remember exactly) and she immediately knew she wanted to record it. I suppose she could really relate to it. Her voice is really shot towards the end of this performance...her live performances are not what they used to be...but the studio recording of this is absolutely gorgeous.

[Carlrayb]

What is the song about, Amy's own experiences?

[logos120]

no problem.

[musictomyeyes]

Oh, thank you for posting this. Very stirring.
