Hallelujah means "I give you my all." All the things mentioned in this song are better than a Hallelujah to Jesus because it is in those situations that we give him our heartaches as well. We were not meant to carry our burdens alone. He carries them with us, if we allow him to.
when i feel angry and i hear this song i turn to god and tell him (well honestly i probably shout depending on the situation...) all thats wrong... it really helps
Guys, a teenager is pregnant. She was raped, and even though she had little chance of survival, she chose to keep the baby. She's near death right now, so let's please all pull together and pray for her! A person that does something that great doesn't deserve to die. God always had a plan, but let's tell Him that she is an inspiration to us all and should live.
This teenager is my best friend. Please everyone, help me save her.
My grandmother just died this morning and I've been crying all night, am crying right now. This sooths my heart but it hurts so much and sometimes tears and crying are better than a hallelujah. I love my grandmother and will miss her something awful but I rejoice that she's in heaven right now and not in any pain. Folks in the whole world, life is so short and so precious! Cherish each day you have with those you love. You never know when they will be gone.
very very beautiful song. i don't understand why some people in the world want to protest what Christians believe. we don't critisize then for there beliefs or non beliefs, we pray for them. To God be the glory all things He has done. "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3
I think, and this is only my opinion, but I think that the song is saying that God does not enjoy our misery/pain but he does like when we know and aknowledge that he can help us. It goes along the similar lines of "Stain glass masquarade"(casting crowns), and "cry out to jesus"(third day) where instead of praising God only for his good, they are also praising him for the help he gives when asked. Sometimes we have to have the courage to ask for something before God will give it(Mathew 7:7)
Follow God not man. Trust in Jesus not in yourself. Praise Him with joy, & cry out to Him im brokeness..shun evil and turn from sin. Repent and be saved,. Be holy as God is holy. Have no other god's before Him. Shout Hallelujah with a sincere heart and cry out to Him when you have fallen. He declares He will answer you if you call on Him and He says He is close to those who are crushed in spirit. He is merciful, but He is also a judge who will judge us for everything we think, say, do, etc.. =]
@ForgivenbyGrace84 We at Rock Church East Peoria,IL Just had 4 services on IDOL and what is being put first I-me first attitude: D-dollars first: O-other people & things first: L-Lord first and how it should be. I say I am a Christian the people that I am witnessing to not only with word, but you never know who is watching.
I needed this...Thank you AMY for your faithful heart! My life fell apart 3 years ago after I miscarried my 4th child, found out my husband of nearly 20 years had been cheating through out most of them, leaving my 3 children and me to fend for ourselves. Up until then I was a stay at home mom. Life changed, God was steadfast, I survived the divorce and met someone who loves me and my kids dearly. I have been to the point when you cant pray, Jesus was there with me.
@spac3cad3t Well, I don't know what she intended for this song. But from what I take out of this song (At least for me) is that when I am at my lowest, feeling my worst, sincerly, I can feel closer to God. And it seems I gain more knowlege through every pain filled situation. So maybe God can reach us all better at our lowest? I know that is what seems to happen to me.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video and am glad EMI allowed you to put it back up. Your story does not come as a surprise to me...I've had the distinct pleasure of being in Amy's presence, and have had conversations with her, on several occasions -she's about as down to earth and real as a person can get. She genuinely cares about people and does what she can to show Christ's love through her life...she is truly a blessing.
@iloveyou53111 God is just speaking to you through Amy's song. I have been crying for days and find out y the next day. The tears are for ones like you. God just wants you to know He L-O-V-E-S you! :) Janet
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." and The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. When people realize the disaster of their lives and turn from their sin towards God for salvation, God rejoices!
If you don't understand this song and can't see beauty in it please read the Psalms of Suffering. (Psalms 16, 22, 40, 69) God can use even the unbelievers or those who have wandered from His side to speak to us. It is not our place to judge. Sometimes when we are going through something difficult, the only thing that comes out is tears and moaning but the Bible says that is the Spirit of God interceding for us (Romans 8:26) that is more beautiful than any song. That is the message I see.
It's amazing how many people just don't understand this song. Grant isn't saying that God enjoys our suffering or pain. He loves it when we come to him in times of need. When we are desperate and sincerely need help, those are the sincere times that Grant is singing about. Does it matter that "Hallelujah" is the highest form of praise? No, because she's not saying it isn't. Actions are also a form of worship. If you understand this then you understand the song.
The extemely hard life we go though is not so overwhelming when i was six my mom was so sick she was in the hospital. So i took care of both of my lil sisters. They did nothing but sit, I was the same way for a coupl of days and I then just sat and prayed hours and hours. Then this lady came to my house and rang the door bell, of course I answered it and she told me my mother died of cancer and she was there to take us to an adoption center. So we left and I live in that house today.
This song talks me. I have so much going on caring for my mom, I am her caregiver she has alzeimers and this song....I have the opportunity to share this with my church on Sunday...its speaks volumes to the many breaking hearts out here...thank you Amy for again such a wonderful song!
Thanks for going the extra mile to make your voice heard. Jesus told us we have not because we ask not. So thanks for asking! I pray this wonderful video will touch the hearts and lives of millions around the world. Special thanks to EMI and Amy Grant! Ya'll RoCk!!!
@vessel95 The struggles that we go through in life force us to look to God and when we do accept what's happening and look to him for help and comfort it means more to him than just praising him when everything's going great. It's about when we finally let go of everything and cling to him. That's all he wants of us is to depend on him and stop trying to fix things ourselves :)
When we reach out to God, He ALWAYS finds us; in whatever state we are, whichever place we are, and whoever we are with; He sends light into our darkness, peace into our warring spirits, and the calm of His Spirit to ease our torments. Thank you Miss Grant for permitting this to post, as it leant me great encouragement at a time of deep need. Petra
do not miscontrue this, the spirit of persons, greater on so many levels then what is done in front of some men for what they must see, no one sees inside of a man what a man feels and is up to no one, what do you suppose that verse is about in the Bible and who do you supppose is instructed? Those in the Church who are supposed to understand the instructions. Judge not for ye shall be judged, consider youth and consider life of a human being so you can see.what love really means.
This song is great. God wants us to tell Him what is in our hearts. He wants us to be honest with Him. Jesus cried out to His Father - as did the Psalmists. We are to do the same thing. We are to cast our cares on Him - that includes telling Him about our cares. He sends His Comforter because He knows we need Him.
Jesus knows what it is like to have a broken heart. For some people it takes hitting rock bottom to finally cry out to the Lord to heal their hearts. For many People (including myself) it takes a broken, open heart to finally accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. When we become christians we become new people. We are all sinners and we all fall short of what God wants but yet God loves us still. His love is so amazing. Thats what I got from this song. We are his children.
I'm a very strong christian and I'm offended that this song was created. The lyrics of the song are untrue. God created us to worship him and to be in his company. The sentence "God loves us." should be enough to convince you that God doesn't want to hear our suffering, he feels it through us enough already. In heaven, there will be no suffering.
@Twayblade007 Just because he knows we suffer doesn't mean he doesn't want us to tell him! I'm a christian just as much as you are. I love this song! I know we are suppose to worship god but maybe he'd rather hear this! God walks with us and knows our pain but maybe he wants us to talk to him about it. Maybe he loves us enough to listen. There may be no suffering in heaven but here there is and God knows that but maybe he wants us to pray and talk to him, ever think of that!
@AnimeFanaticNumber01 Yes, you are right. God wants us to pray and talk to him. You are incorrect, however, telling me that our great and merciful God likes to hear us pain begging him for it to stop. In a perfect world, which was his original intention, we would have no pain and suffering. Then we sinned, and now we are complaining about it. My thoughts on this are that God is annoyed at our ignorance.
@Twayblade007 God would never be annoyed of us. He loves us and though we have sinned. If god was aggravated about us complaining about sin then why would he send his son to die for those sins he was so aggravated about hearing? e sent us son so we could be saved and so we could cry out to him in our darkest moments. He loves us and would never cherish our sadness.
@Twayblade007 If he was annoyed he would stop listening. He listens and no the world wasn't meant to be the way it is now but if God was angered at us and annoyed at us for complaining why would he have sent Jesus to die for the things we are 'complaining about?
God is often referred to as a "loving god". I am a mother and never, ever would I relish a moment of my child crying or suffering, nor would I hesitate to intervene with all of my power and stop it.
@questianna God does love us, but we don't love him back- we may think we do, I can say I love God, but all of it is tainted by sinfulness inherent in humans. Since Adam and Eve did the first sin, there has been a rift between us and God. That's why we suffer. Suffering is caused by distance from God and Jesus redeeming us brings us back to God so we can go to heaven. God doesn't enjoy seeing us suffer, but it is justice and we are responsible.
@questianna Do you ever tell your children "No"? When your children disobey, do you not make them live with the consequences of their actions? God is no different. He doesn't "relish" our misery, and that's NOT what the song says. The lyrics say "we pour out our misery, God just hears a melody. Beautiful the mess we are, the honest cries of breaking hearts." You must take the words in context.
@questianna No listen It says he loves to hear us talking to him about our miseries. He doesn't love to watch us hurt, every time we hurt, he hurts. He may let bad things happen but that doesn't mean he won't let good things happen to. He loves us with all his heart and will never let us go. If we didn't go threw trouble would thankful for the things you have and the people who are still alive with you today? Scripture says "He will never give us more that we can carry.'
@questianna I now its been a while (a month) when you wrote that comment, but id just like to add to other peoples comments that this song isn't scripture.... personally what I think she tried to say was that honest emotion and totally giving your self up to God is better then saying the right thing, but im not her/dont know her...
sorry just adding that these aren't Gods direct words and shouldn't be taken that way :)
When I first heard this song I thought it had such a beautiful melody and expected nothing less from Grant. But I found the meaning of the lyrics to be torturous. I and many people who agree with me could never love a god who enjoys our misery and standsy idly by watching while we suffer, doing nothing in all of his omnipotence to stop it.
@questianna This song is talking about how God loves it better when we actually ask him for things and actually believe, not us going to church and not paying attention. If you really listen to the lyrics you'll notice that everytime something is better than something from a church, a hallelujah, chior, church bells. God wants us to take refuge in him and ask him for his help, not just expect it. I know that and I'm only 14
@jtwilber Hey listen i no you are probably tired of hearing this but i beleive that the devil is trying to decieveus and to do that he makes it harder on christians and Earth is his playground but even if God is always there for us when we need him so i will pray for you.
@questianna No listen It says he loves to hear us talking to him about our miseries. He doesn't love to watch us hurt, every time we hurt, he hurts. He may let bad things happen but that doesn't mean he won't let good things happen to. He loves us with all his heart and will never let us go. If we didn't go threw trouble would thankful for the things you have and the people who are still alive with you today? Scripture says "He will never give us more that we can carry.'
I love Amy Grants music I love this song it says just how this world is. I talk to God all the time I dont need to go to church to praise him I do that where I go. and sometimes I say okay God here Iam here is what I have done and then when Im done thank you for hearing me talk.
Today, nearly one billion people (about 1in 8) lack access to clean water. More than 3.5 million die each year from water-related disease; 84% are children. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills at a rate equal to a jumbo jet full of kids every 4 hours. $25 can supply a person with clean water for life. The more people know the more we can make a difference. If you see this, please like it/copy and paste to another vid and give any amount you can.
I believe this song conveys is the message that, while God certainly does not enjoy our pain and suffering, He is moved when we pour our hearts out to Him. Whether that be in joyful worship or tearful ourpouring, He longs for us to seek Him, to cry out to Him, to share our most intimate thoughts, feelings, and longings with Him. Our hearts seek something this world can never give us...our thirst is one which only our Creator can satisfy. His heart delights when we seek to truly know Him. :)
This is really touching & its true & About Amy Grant she puts her voice into the lyrics it makes me understand now that sometimes when we cry god hears us cause he loves us so much.:) <3
I don't understand why everyone is so upset about this song. God wants us to take our troubles to him. Our pain, our sadness, our hurts. He wants us to let it out so He can heal us. He wants us to be happy. So yes, when I feel I can't do anymore. I take my troubles to God and He lifts them from my shoulders. Someone once said, "It wasn't till I was down on my knees that I learned how He could lift me up."
@GabrielMajere I agree i think it fall in line with stain glass masquerade and keep it real. It is not whining and moaning or God being glad we are in pain like I read on other videos of this song . I is being honest with God and telling Him we need his help that He finds Joy in.
@PrincessRedeemed7 She's saying that pouring out all of the pain, showing our vulnerability, and crying out to God in desperation is better than a hallelujah sometimes. We say hallelujah out of joy but when we cry to God it just shows more of a need for his presence.
@PrincessRedeemed7 Christians are often so literal, that the TRUTH gets obscured!! She's referring, obviously, to a "Halleluja" spoken in knee-jerk religious fashion. She doesn't mean one is literally better than the other! It's the intent that matters behind the words we speak. I often marvel at how hair-splitting Christians can become with one another. I know. I've been there. But no more.
@lanikaigal1 well said it is though the times in this song the we became broken and the we turn to God and ask to fix us he starts putting back together stronger then we was before
@PrincessRedeemed7 It might be the highest praise but God wants to hear us asking for his help and thanking him from the bottom of our hearts. Sometimes he could probably care less if we praise him. He wants to see if we have enough faith in him to ask him for the help we need. Thats what this somg is about.
This touches me in a way that makes my heart soar! The Lord is so merciful and kind, I was in a 3-car pile up on 6-20-11 and I was in the middle of the two cars and he lifted me out! By the grace of God no one was seriously hurt!!! Thank you Jesus!!!
@honeybearsbird thats right.. THANK YOU JESUS.... not "AG you are such an inspiration".These much too well off much too wealthy "stars" that DONT practice what IS preached will surely reap what they sow in due time.
For anyone who is looking for a biblical explanation of the gospel and salvation, I would highly recommend checking out the scribd website that is listed on my channel. The scripture references given on there make it very clear and easy to understand.
If anyone can tell me where to get the picture of the man kneeling @ the cross with his guitar @ sunset it would be a huge blessing 2 me thx for any help i can get and God Bless.
Part 4: I encourage u all 2 go 2 God now & talk 2 Him about what hurts u! He cares about u & He wants 2 take the pain. That is why He humbled Himself 2 become a man & 2 die 4 us, so He could take our pain. Lay your burdens, ur crowns, your crosses that u carry down at the feet of Jesus! Let Him carry u! That is what He is there for! As that poem, "Footprints In The Sand" says, "It was then that I carried you." God bless you guys & i hope this helps u! :)
Part 3: It is not small and we have a right to be upset over it. Admit your weaknesses. You don't have to tell others but you need to admit it to yourself and to God. He already knows that you're hurting, He is just waiting for you to admit it to yourself and to talk to Him about it. Our pain is real and it matters. We are beautifully broken! Crying doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong and it lifts a burden off of your shoulders!
Part 2: Sometimes we also don't want to show that we are hurting because we feel as if it whatever pains us is something that we shouldn't be so upset over and that if we tell others, they will say something to the effect of, "That is what you are crying over?" and they'll judge us. No pain that we feel is insignificant. Every little thing that hurts us (even something that may seem small like your goldfish dying and it making you cry) matters to God.
*This is long but please take the time 2 read what i have written.* Part 1:
I wanted 2 let you all know (& im still working on it myself) that its okay 2 show weakness & vulnerability. Sometimes it feels like we have 2 be strong all the time & that we can't show weakness, sometimes even more-so when we are Christians. We need 2 show everyone that we are not perfect & that we are hurting.
i have been a fan since 1980 and she is the single best artist to me, every song, every album for over 30 years, she's genuine and it shows. LOVE U AMY!
she's also humble and we can relate in her music to the Lord
@Sween9261 Only if your understanding of the lyric is too rigid will this song not make sense (or if you overlook the word "sometimes"). Blessedness is better than brokenness, but sometimes only the latter can move a soul closer to God.
I love this song because i understand the message. The Lord doesnt want us to say or do things out of routine/tradition but he wants us to sincerely cry out to him because he is the only one who can deliver us from our problems.
Please will someone explain this song to me. Does it mean that God likes it when we are in pain. Why would he want us to be hurt? I am really confused. So should I purposely hurt myself for God or what? I tried reading the bible to find answers, but I couldn't find the right answers.
@pinkieforeva what this song it talking about is people think that God only likes our prayers or our singing. see God lets us go through things so we can be stronger just like muscles. you work out to break them down but when they have had time to rest they are stronger than before this is what the song is talking about
@pinkieforeva It means that when we cry out to God with our hearts, it is more precious to Him than our praise. Psalm 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Its not that He wishes a broken heart, but that He sees it and has mercy upon it.
@joycjm, yo, plus! David in psalm 51...crying out to God after he sinned, says "it is a broken spirit you want God" opposed to offerings and stuff because the hurt spirit is proof to God that you want real change. beautiful really.
@pinkieforeva No God does not like to see us in pain. He likes for us to call out to him. He wants relationship with us. We get so wrapped up in our own lives often we forget about Father God until we have grreat need. When we are humbled and broken is when God can do his greatest works in and for us. Otherwise we think we don't need him. Think about 9/11 right after many turned to God until we thought we didn't need him, then many turned away from God.
Dear Christians:I know its not a good place to post this but I am in great need.Please like this comment so that it is on the top comments.I am sorry but I am in desperate need of prayer!please pray for me,for I need Christ and for my best friend who greatly needs Christ's salvation....she needs him. Also pray for our friendship that it may be restored, for it is drifting apart incredibly!i am very sorry once again to post this here, but I really am in desperate need!thank you and god bless you!
@DavidVargasColombia Father, I pray for DavidVargasColumbia, speak to his heart and bless him. Meet him where he is today. You are the healer of hearts and of relationships. Father, I ask that you touch this friendship today and if it be Your will, prevent its drifting apart. Father, you are the center of all, be the center of this friendship. Bring blessing and grace to both their hearts. In Jesus' Name, Amen
This is an amazing song with a powerful message. Any one who just crys out in despair for the lord, those who have hit rock bottom, who think their world is coming to an end, God loves that more than our daily christian "ways"... I love this song and after hearing it and compairing it to my life ive never felt bad to just let it out and let it all go because i know its all in gods hands. This song can change the hearts of many
Just commenting again because I just had something happen in my life that makes me believe someone is up there watching out for us completely! This song is so true. Sometimes, the only time you can be saved is in times of desperation. My mom has just been saved. She is going through alcohol/depression recovery now. Please pray for her, those of you who do believe in HIM, no matter who or how you call him. I am Hindu so I meditate but, I do not doubt prayers help. In fact, I know they do.
@misatchi I am praying But I want to encourage you to find Truth for yourself, There is only One True GOd, only one that has defeated death and is no longer in the grave a LIVING GOD the Only one Found Faithful & True and His name is Yeshua! God BLess you in your search for Relationship not religion....
@sheanna4YAHWEH I am a Hindu/Buddhist believer so I don't appreciate you trying to convert me to a christian, especially via internet. I appreciate the prayers but, you should try to believe in a united holy cause like I do because the truth is "It doesn't matter what you call HIM, just as long as you call." and as far as I am concerned God is Krishna/Buddha/and Jesus. Oh and Allah means God too. So please respect this because as a Hindu, I encourage everyone to find him however they must.
@sheanna4YAHWEH Also, I am aware there is only one God. People seem to not understand that Krishna/Rama/Brahma/Vishnu/Shiva/Ganesh all represent God and even we address him as God. I will never be a christian because I do not believe in a predestined life. I believe karma is what will develop your soul ultimately, God will guide you but, he wants you to find things for yourself but, for the sake of not offending anyone I will stop right here. Just please understand and respect all religions.
@misatchi my comment to you was completely in love no judgement or disrespect but there is ABSOULTE TRUTH not grey matter as we humanly make it to be those other names u listed are gods with lilttle "g" I speak in boldness for the truth in YESHUAS name if that is offensive to you then please examine your own heart I will not WATER DOWN GODs Truth in the Bible!!! JOHN 14:6 Baruch ah tah meaning GOd BLess YOu
@sheanna4YAHWEH I have gone to christian churches but, cannot find myself to believe in their ways of worship. I do believe Jesus was real, even History books document him as really existing but, to me, Jesus and Krishna are one but, I will follow the teachings from what I truly believe because lying to myself and forcing myself to be christian isn't the right way. I think God has created several paths to find him, otherwise there would only be one religion and I respect your beliefs very much!
@misatchi Just because there are many religions does not mean God intended for all of these religions to exist. Maybe he intended for no "religion" to exist? In my opinion, the verses that discuss Jesus being the only way could not have meant that the person Jesus way the only way but rather that the principles he lived for a taught about were the only way. I do not think our religions are able to contain God Almighty.
@robmanyou Thats a very interesting idea and I used to be agnostic so I can respect that. ;) Truth of the matter is we may never know for sure but its nice to go through life believing in something bigger than yourself. Trust me, I'm not blind enough to think just because I believe, makes it true but, I've found I'd rather go through life believing and be wrong than being scared and Hinduism is such a vast religion thats not as constraint as Christianity, so its just what faith works for me.

Hallelujah means "I give you my all." All the things mentioned in this song are better than a Hallelujah to Jesus because it is in those situations that we give him our heartaches as well. We were not meant to carry our burdens alone. He carries them with us, if we allow him to.

My grandmother just died this morning and I've been crying all night, am crying right now. This sooths my heart but it hurts so much and sometimes tears and crying are better than a hallelujah. I love my grandmother and will miss her something awful but I rejoice that she's in heaven right now and not in any pain. Folks in the whole world, life is so short and so precious! Cherish each day you have with those you love. You never know when they will be gone.

I think, and this is only my opinion, but I think that the song is saying that God does not enjoy our misery/pain but he does like when we know and aknowledge that he can help us. It goes along the similar lines of "Stain glass masquarade"(casting crowns), and "cry out to jesus"(third day) where instead of praising God only for his good, they are also praising him for the help he gives when asked. Sometimes we have to have the courage to ask for something before God will give it(Mathew 7:7)

Follow God not man. Trust in Jesus not in yourself. Praise Him with joy, & cry out to Him im brokeness..shun evil and turn from sin. Repent and be saved,. Be holy as God is holy. Have no other god's before Him. Shout Hallelujah with a sincere heart and cry out to Him when you have fallen. He declares He will answer you if you call on Him and He says He is close to those who are crushed in spirit. He is merciful, but He is also a judge who will judge us for everything we think, say, do, etc.. =]

I needed this...Thank you AMY for your faithful heart! My life fell apart 3 years ago after I miscarried my 4th child, found out my husband of nearly 20 years had been cheating through out most of them, leaving my 3 children and me to fend for ourselves. Up until then I was a stay at home mom. Life changed, God was steadfast, I survived the divorce and met someone who loves me and my kids dearly. I have been to the point when you cant pray, Jesus was there with me.

@spac3cad3t Well, I don't know what she intended for this song. But from what I take out of this song (At least for me) is that when I am at my lowest, feeling my worst, sincerly, I can feel closer to God. And it seems I gain more knowlege through every pain filled situation. So maybe God can reach us all better at our lowest? I know that is what seems to happen to me.

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and am glad EMI allowed you to put it back up. Your story does not come as a surprise to me...I've had the distinct pleasure of being in Amy's presence, and have had conversations with her, on several occasions -she's about as down to earth and real as a person can get. She genuinely cares about people and does what she can to show Christ's love through her life...she is truly a blessing.

To me the meaning of this song is in two verses.
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." and The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. When people realize the disaster of their lives and turn from their sin towards God for salvation, God rejoices!

If you don't understand this song and can't see beauty in it please read the Psalms of Suffering. (Psalms 16, 22, 40, 69) God can use even the unbelievers or those who have wandered from His side to speak to us. It is not our place to judge. Sometimes when we are going through something difficult, the only thing that comes out is tears and moaning but the Bible says that is the Spirit of God interceding for us (Romans 8:26) that is more beautiful than any song. That is the message I see.

It's amazing how many people just don't understand this song. Grant isn't saying that God enjoys our suffering or pain. He loves it when we come to him in times of need. When we are desperate and sincerely need help, those are the sincere times that Grant is singing about. Does it matter that "Hallelujah" is the highest form of praise? No, because she's not saying it isn't. Actions are also a form of worship. If you understand this then you understand the song.

The extemely hard life we go though is not so overwhelming when i was six my mom was so sick she was in the hospital. So i took care of both of my lil sisters. They did nothing but sit, I was the same way for a coupl of days and I then just sat and prayed hours and hours. Then this lady came to my house and rang the door bell, of course I answered it and she told me my mother died of cancer and she was there to take us to an adoption center. So we left and I live in that house today.

@vessel95 The struggles that we go through in life force us to look to God and when we do accept what's happening and look to him for help and comfort it means more to him than just praising him when everything's going great. It's about when we finally let go of everything and cling to him. That's all he wants of us is to depend on him and stop trying to fix things ourselves :)

This song is great. God wants us to tell Him what is in our hearts. He wants us to be honest with Him. Jesus cried out to His Father - as did the Psalmists. We are to do the same thing. We are to cast our cares on Him - that includes telling Him about our cares. He sends His Comforter because He knows we need Him.

Jesus knows what it is like to have a broken heart. For some people it takes hitting rock bottom to finally cry out to the Lord to heal their hearts. For many People (including myself) it takes a broken, open heart to finally accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. When we become christians we become new people. We are all sinners and we all fall short of what God wants but yet God loves us still. His love is so amazing. Thats what I got from this song. We are his children.

I'm a very strong christian and I'm offended that this song was created. The lyrics of the song are untrue. God created us to worship him and to be in his company. The sentence "God loves us." should be enough to convince you that God doesn't want to hear our suffering, he feels it through us enough already. In heaven, there will be no suffering.

There may be no suffering in heaven but here there is and God knows that but maybe he wants us to pray and talk to him, ever think of that!

@AnimeFanaticNumber01 Yes, you are right. God wants us to pray and talk to him. You are incorrect, however, telling me that our great and merciful God likes to hear us pain begging him for it to stop. In a perfect world, which was his original intention, we would have no pain and suffering. Then we sinned, and now we are complaining about it. My thoughts on this are that God is annoyed at our ignorance.
Twayblade007 6 months ago
@Twayblade007 God would never be annoyed of us. He loves us and though we have sinned. If god was aggravated about us complaining about sin then why would he send his son to die for those sins he was so aggravated about hearing? e sent us son so we could be saved and so we could cry out to him in our darkest moments. He loves us and would never cherish our sadness.
AnimeFanaticNumber01 6 months ago
@Twayblade007 If he was annoyed he would stop listening. He listens and no the world wasn't meant to be the way it is now but if God was angered at us and annoyed at us for complaining why would he have sent Jesus to die for the things we are 'complaining about?

brittianica 6 months ago in playlist Christian Songs
@questianna God does love us, but we don't love him back- we may think we do, I can say I love God, but all of it is tainted by sinfulness inherent in humans. Since Adam and Eve did the first sin, there has been a rift between us and God. That's why we suffer. Suffering is caused by distance from God and Jesus redeeming us brings us back to God so we can go to heaven. God doesn't enjoy seeing us suffer, but it is justice and we are responsible.
eurasianchica 6 months ago
@questianna Do you ever tell your children "No"? When your children disobey, do you not make them live with the consequences of their actions? God is no different. He doesn't "relish" our misery, and that's NOT what the song says. The lyrics say "we pour out our misery, God just hears a melody. Beautiful the mess we are, the honest cries of breaking hearts." You must take the words in context.

When I first heard this song I thought it had such a beautiful melody and expected nothing less from Grant. But I found the meaning of the lyrics to be torturous.

@questianna This song is talking about how God loves it better when we actually ask him for things and actually believe, not us going to church and not paying attention. If you really listen to the lyrics you'll notice that everytime something is better than something from a church, a hallelujah, chior, church bells. God wants us to take refuge in him and ask him for his help, not just expect it. I know that and I'm only 14

I believe this song conveys is the message that, while God certainly does not enjoy our pain and suffering, He is moved when we pour our hearts out to Him. Whether that be in joyful worship or tearful ourpouring, He longs for us to seek Him, to cry out to Him, to share our most intimate thoughts, feelings, and longings with Him. Our hearts seek something this world can never give us...our thirst is one which only our Creator can satisfy. His heart delights when we seek to truly know Him. :)

That is why He humbled Himself 2 become a man & 2 die 4 us, so He could take our pain. Lay your burdens, ur crowns, your crosses that u carry down at the feet of Jesus! Let Him carry u!

Part 3: It is not small and we have a right to be upset over it. Admit your weaknesses. You don't have to tell others but you need to admit it to yourself and to God. He already knows that you're hurting, He is just waiting for you to admit it to yourself and to talk to Him about it. Our pain is real and it matters. We are beautifully broken! Crying doesn't make you weak, it makes you strong and it lifts a burden off of your shoulders!
TheJesusfreak1109 8 months ago
Part 2: Sometimes we also don't want to show that we are hurting because we feel as if it whatever pains us is something that we shouldn't be so upset over and that if we tell others, they will say something to the effect of, "That is what you are crying over?" and they'll judge us. No pain that we feel is insignificant. Every little thing that hurts us (even something that may seem small like your goldfish dying and it making you cry) matters to God.

@pinkieforeva It means that when we cry out to God with our hearts, it is more precious to Him than our praise. Psalm 34:18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Its not that He wishes a broken heart, but that He sees it and has mercy upon it.
I hope that helps.

@pinkieforeva No God does not like to see us in pain. He likes for us to call out to him. He wants relationship with us. We get so wrapped up in our own lives often we forget about Father God until we have grreat need. When we are humbled and broken is when God can do his greatest works in and for us. Otherwise we think we don't need him. Think about 9/11 right after many turned to God until we thought we didn't need him, then many turned away from God.

@sheanna4YAHWEH I am a Hindu/Buddhist believer so I don't appreciate you trying to convert me to a christian, especially via internet. I appreciate the prayers but, you should try to believe in a united holy cause like I do because the truth is "It doesn't matter what you call HIM, just as long as you call." and as far as I am concerned God is Krishna/Buddha/and Jesus. Oh and Allah means God too. So please respect this because as a Hindu, I encourage everyone to find him however they must.

@sheanna4YAHWEH Also, I am aware there is only one God. People seem to not understand that Krishna/Rama/Brahma/Vishnu/Shiva/Ganesh all represent God and even we address him as God. I will never be a christian because I do not believe in a predestined life. I believe karma is what will develop your soul ultimately, God will guide you but, he wants you to find things for yourself but, for the sake of not offending anyone I will stop right here. Just please understand and respect all religions.

@sheanna4YAHWEH I have gone to christian churches but, cannot find myself to believe in their ways of worship. I do believe Jesus was real, even History books document him as really existing but, to me, Jesus and Krishna are one but, I will follow the teachings from what I truly believe because lying to myself and forcing myself to be christian isn't the right way. I think God has created several paths to find him, otherwise there would only be one religion and I respect your beliefs very much!

@misatchi Just because there are many religions does not mean God intended for all of these religions to exist. Maybe he intended for no "religion" to exist? In my opinion, the verses that discuss Jesus being the only way could not have meant that the person Jesus way the only way but rather that the principles he lived for a taught about were the only way. I do not think our religions are able to contain God Almighty.

@robmanyou Thats a very interesting idea and I used to be agnostic so I can respect that. ;) Truth of the matter is we may never know for sure but its nice to go through life believing in something bigger than yourself. Trust me, I'm not blind enough to think just because I believe, makes it true but, I've found I'd rather go through life believing and be wrong than being scared and Hinduism is such a vast religion thats not as constraint as Christianity, so its just what faith works for me.

@robmanyou JESUS spoke and came to fulfill the law, because the law was man judging man. Jesus did not give his life for RELIGION, but for souls
