Thank you Shawn for your music, you're a big part of why I bear through all the pain and grief this world brings. You're story has captivated me and I'm humbly greatful for you. I hope you know how much your music means to everyone.

[MadDawgMurdock]

This song brings me to my knees and I cry out to God professing all my faults and troubles, and because of his love for us, he forgives all sin. "What a beautiful God" is one of the most passionate and emmotional sayings I've ever heard and this song makes me want to worship God more and more. These lyrics are majestic and I thank Shawn for writting them.

[Halo2Tv]

[david4portland]

Shawn McDonald has always been a joy and an inspiration to my heart. To come through all that he has been through reminds me that the Lord comes to His children and that He is always faithful to those who serve. Thanks Shawn for offering up your life to the Beautiful One.

[BUCKEYECITY09]

THE BEST

[Okelly16]

Does anyone know what type/make of guitar shawn is playing in this set? much obliged!!!!

[nitroman247]

My all time favorite song. especially. with the girl harmonizing

[jnguitars]

Maeon 3 have u ever read blue like jazz? Donald mille writes I beleive the greatest trick of the devil is to lure christians to be religious.if he can sink a mans mind into habit he will prevent his heart from engaging God. But since u dont seem to beleive in a god, then what do u believe, what r u defending? Urself or nothing? I really curious what ur defending? have u been to church or even read the bible?

by the way this song is amazing and shawn Mcdonald is a perfect example of Gods love

[jnguitars]

Maeon3- Can I ask how Jesus was a coward? Did you know him, meet him or even see him. I wouldn't callyou a coward. I never meet u or even know you. Through all the pain that u have been through Jesus is right there with you.the term christian is being used to wrong, To be a Christian is to LIVE for Christ. Thats why its CHRISTian. Please know Jesus will be back and he will give a 2nd world tour! then you can see him and know. That he is LORD! GOD LOVES U ! What Religion r u? Im interested-

[jnguitars]

Maeon3- God is for you, he created you, dont deny yourself his unending grace! Please know that Jesus suffered for you! As a christian I am far from being perfect, and dont deserve Gods love at all! but thanks to his son- Jesus- I am free and the things of this world are not as God wants, please understand that yes there is pain, yes God gives us free will, but getting angry at God wont solve anything, Try for 30 days praying to Jesus and ask him to reveil himself to you! read the bible! be free

[tferg19]

An incredible song of truth and beauty.

[barramaestro]

maeon 3 is in a tough place here. Is there love in this world? Do you have friends? Are you popular? Educated? Smart? Average? Athletic? The most dangerous truth to the unbeliever is that there is such a thing as real love and strength in Christ. Are thrift store threads your favorite fashions? Are you poor? Are you rich? How do you describe yourself? If you're going to slam all christians you're going to have to think past your initial prejudices.

[maeon3]

You imply Jesus can help me with these things. I thought the things you outline are the "things and offerings of this world".

I guess Jesus is just another facet of this world after all.

Remember, Satan is the music maker, he is the one who sounds like the ringing angels on the tops of mountains, and is able to masquerade as entities far more beautiful than Shawn McDonald will ever be. Satan can create music far more beautiful than these.

[jnguitars]

Maeon3,

First off I just want to say as a christian that is far from being perfect! God is real! I understand that God is not always easy to understand and niether is the bible. But understand the context of it, the bible was written during a different time. Jesus is just as real as napoleon bonaparte. Jesus Died for u! he loves u! Please dont let satan make music to the sound of your ears and follow him. Sin only promises what it can't deliver! Shawn Mcdonald is far from satan! He is Free!

[barramaestro]

I think you are having fun playing devil's advocate. I send respect to maeon3 for taking on the entire youtube community of believers. If you feel you are right and we are wrong, thats ok. But respect goes both ways. If you are serious about this, you will have to be willing to speak with an open mind, as will I.

[barramaestro]

As for your question, My fashions, my inspirations, my music (i like stellastarr*) are all things of God. God puts things in our hearts that make us alive. If your thing is hip hop or System of a Down, fine, but the things that make us alive are from God. I like to surf and rock climb, I enjoy reading and learning. Some people say that the minor scales in music composition are from Satan. I play my guitar in d minor all the time. Does that make my heart black? IIeII

[barramaestro]

and lastly, God created us to live in community with others. Why else are you online seeking acceptance or conflict?

Friends are the single greatest example of God's love, in my opinion. Christ spent his last moments with his friends eating - and drinking wine - thats why we all love keggers.

[MYGodisawesome]

Jesus spent his very last moments alone, because he was separated from his holy father because of our sin. And you are wrong, the greatest single example of God's love is John 15:13. Read it. Maybe Jesus will be able to touch your heart.

[barramaestro]

MyGodisawesome:

I agree. Christ gave everything he had to his disciples. Did they have the intimacy to call him a friend? I am not saying Christs sacrifice was only for them, but Holy Communion is time we celebrate Christ among friends, not alone. Friends are central to our understanding of Christ, as C.S. Lewis writes about in The Four Loves.

[chastitylover09]

ok, let me just bring the comment flow back to the actual video by saying SHAWN MCDONALD IS AWESOME!

[tolleck]

If you don't believe in God or Jesus I'd suggest you watch the revival in Florida. It's hard to deny when you see revival.

[BrandallRock]

Poeple are too cowardly to express their opinions to the direct public so they seek out internet forum boards and video sights to publically express their opinions. Due to freedom of speech they're allowed to but they are the ignorant people who judge and criticise people for their beliefs! Who am I to judge, they're just lost seeking the truth but to stubborn to believe it right?

[maeon3]

Jesus was too cowardly to talk to everyone on earth about his truth, so he had to go to bars and talk with publicans and sinners. The historical equivilent of a forum, to get the word out.

If it's good enough for Jesus to spread his word by going to a place and preaching, then it's good enough for me to spread my word by going to a place, and preaching.

Christians don't think very much, Christians are about blind faith and what your told to think, not thinking through things rationally.

[chiefracoon13]

Maeon3, Maybe before you speak anymore nonsense about your thoughts on Jesus, you should pick up a bible and get your facts straight. You will soon realize that you are wrong in thinking that Jesus was a coward.

(and to your previous comment) How can you say that Christ is not real when you just said he spoke in bars? Please prove to me how he is not God, then you have something to talk about.

[jyxlove]

if Jesus was a coward,

He wuoldn't have gotten humiliated, beaten up, or even DIED on the cross in front of EVERYONE for our sins.

[kforce3000]

What's a "publican".

You should go to sleepy times b/c you don't know what you are talking about.

Please.

[maeon3]

Some bastardized versions of our holy Bible in Matthew 9:11-13 refers to the Pharasees as "Publicans". It was the version of the brainwashing bible that was used to indoctrinate me.

Wikipedia has a great article on the usage of the word "publican". A simple google search would answer your question.

You make it sound like I'm ignorant for using the word "publican". Thus you have accidentally revealed the magnitude of your own ignorance. In short, get that plank out of your eye.

[utsux3]

i wanna kno who the cutie on the cello is :[!

[maeon3]

Faith is important for religion because it's a lie. Lies cannot be rationally defended, so the only way for it to propagate from person to person is for them to say: "Stop thinking, just believe it because I said so".

If Religion was true, we would have proven it by now with the billions of man-hours attempting to do so, the fact that they failed to prove it lets rational people know that Faith is not Truth.

If your pastor balks when you ask for proof, watchout, he's trying to keep you dum

[fullsanction]

Hmm..

I guess you have no idea what faith truly is. You speak about proving religion. Personally I can not stand religion, it puts all faiths in the same pile. I have a personal relationship with the one true living God.

Jesus Christ was the most proved person in history. Evolution on the other hand still keeps pushing the dates back hoping to get it right.

If there is no God, then life is a meaningless joke played on all of us, we all search for a meaning in life...but can never find it.

[breathingthebreath]

So your telling me that when you supposedly felt God tell you something there was a truthful result. And you feel God everytime.its hard to believe that you dont beleive in religon because your acting like your making your own by claiming dogmatic truth.

[spazzymcgee5678]

ignorance is bliss. u must lead an awesome life believing ur just gonna rot in the ground. how fun.

and if u dont believe in religion why are you watching christian singers?

[MightyPenguin112830]

so then let me ask what happens when you die??

you just die and thats the end of your life?

you forget all your friends, your mom, your dad...? and you become basically nothing? i dont know but it doesnt make no sense to me

[maeon3]

Just because it doesn't make sense to you does not make it wrong.

No doubt using calculus, trigonometry, and quantum mechanics makes little sense to you, yet they are extremely useful ways to view the universe.

The way information makes you feel does not affect how true it is.

[MightyPenguin112830]

yes those are extremely useful ways to view the universe but what about after you die?

Could you explain what happens after i die..

Even if those thing did make sense i still wouldnt know what will happen to me after i die right?

but how much of the information is really true? i mean many scientist are making/fixing mistake everday.

[abombhoe]

i love this song

[ViolentServant]

This song, is so beautiful. i love how it ushers the presence of the Holy Spirit into any place. Just with the help of one person seeking after. Its nuts! GO SHAWN.

[tiner3682]

I love live stuff like this

[RadicalChris21]

thanks for posting this. this song is simply amazing truely shows us how great God is :]]]

Christ is the upholder of our lives. he upholds the universe by the word of his power. We have hope in only that. Nothing in this world can satisfy us. The only joy we can get is form Chrsit :]]]

[Joymax]

wonderful =)

[anmcroulet]

wow. that was outstanding. God is so awesome to have given us music to express ourselves with. How would you be able to make that same statement without it? That is a completely amazing song! great job! I'm sure the Lord is totally blessed by that!  Keep it up!

I am so thankful to know God cares and loves us so much that he would look apon us and see beauty.. despite all of our sin, he looks at the heart and blesses us. What a beauitful God.
