Bob Dylan did not lose his faith! This is from Wikipedia: "In a 2009 interview with Bill Flanagan promoting his Christmas LP, Christmas in the Heart, Flanagan commented on the "heroic performance" Dylan gave of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and that Dylan "delivered the song like a true believer". Dylan replied: "Well, I am a true believer."
I worked for a living, as most everyone else on YouTube. BUT I did not spend my work time talking about being Christian. Music is his job.
Might want to look at these songs in the future too. All of these are after his so called "Christian phase" too. Instead of entire songs devoted to Christianity, he mentions it in passing now, as if it naturally belongs there. Might even just be a line or two, but it's there.
why does everyone say bob lost his religion,he done the deal and lives out his life in a god fearing way.He still tells the truth and is as christ like as any body born again so to set the story straight if your going to heaven plan on seeing mr. Bob Dylan im gonna get a front row seat up there right Jesus? with love Jeff
Yeah Dylan never lost faith - he just couldn't keep on with this format for too long. These songs only reach people who already believe. His audience is made up mostly of people who want to believe but aren't quite there yet. He helps you there.
YOU CAN'T SELL YOUR SOUL WHEN YOU DON'T OWN IT - WHEN WE SURRENDER OURSELVES TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS, WE ARE TAKEN OUT OF THE DEVILS KINGDOM AND BY GOD PLACED INTO HIS FAMILY.............BOB, YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS. ( 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 ) SAYS, IF ANY PERSON IS IN CHRIST, THEY ARE A NEW CREATION, OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY, ALL THINGS BECOME NEW.
Bob Dylan did not lose his faith in 1982, he simply expanded out from the Evangelical phase. He still writes lyrics like "I know the mercy of God must be near" and "I know God is my shield, and he won't lead me astray" and "Death is not the End." He still sings Gospel songs, ie with Mavis Staples in Change my Way of Thinkin' where is sings "Jesus is calling." He even sang for the Pope in the late 90s. In his Newsweek interview he said songs like "I Saw the Light" (about Jesus) are his religion.
BOB, GOD HAS BLESSED YOU, IN DARK TIMES HIS WORDS FORMED INSIDE YOU ,YES, EVEN IN DARKNESS "HE" WAS THERE ! HE LOVES YOU,& IN RETURN ALL HE WANTED/WANTS , WAS/IS FOR YOU TO CHOSE HIM, LOVE HIM BACK. HE GAVE YOU/ "MAN" FREE WILL . EVEN IN DARKNESS, GOD CHOSE YOU & YOU RESPONDED.~ GREAT PROPHETIC WORDS OF GOD ROSE WITHIN YOU'RE WELLSPRING & CAME "A NEW SONG"!`YOU{BOB} WILL SING 4 GOD/JESUS AGAIN!THIS GENERATION IS CALLING OUT, SO SING FOR HIM & WATCH HIS GLORY FALL! BE THE "GOD" REVOLUTION ~
Singer songwriter producer actress Donna Summer accepted Christ into her life about the same time as Bob (in the late 70's) . Check out her gospel music and book Ordinary Girl. Thk s for this song!
Thank you thank you thank you. I love this song (and the album for that matter). I'm glad this is finally on Youtube. Repost it if somebody takes it off.
Bob Dylan is one of the most prolific lyricists of our generation. He accepted Christ in the late 1970s, and wrote some of the most profound songs concerning modern Christianity. His Christian-era albums include: Slow Train Coming, Saved, and Shot of Love. By 1982, he had lost faith...but the songs have aged amazingly well.
Once you know jesus there is no going back. Their gonna know that we are christian by our love. Whitney houston is with the lord tonight i know this.

I'm just pleased that he found Christ. That is why he is still with us, God's not done with him yet. He still has much to to contribute.

His secular music I hold as far more sacred, but it's good to hear some real Dylan music up on youtube. So much of it is banned. Good song.

@FirstAGVictoria He is still introduced as "...being saved in 1979, please welcome Colombia recording artist Bob Dylan", before every show.
