  • @shobu248

    Ill be praying for you man - That is a very tough situation, this verse came to mind - 1Tim 5:3 - Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.

    God bless

  • @shobu248 keep praying to the lord and he'll open up paths for you and your girlfriend and if you need anything you can talk to me man.

  • @shobu248 YES YOU SHOULD , EVEN IF ITS NOT YOURS ; PRAY !! I HAD THE SAME SITUATION BACK ALMOST 20 YRS. AGO AND THE GIRLS PARENTS BAISICALLY MADE HER HAVE AN ABORTION :( I WASNT DATING HER BUT CARED FOR HER AND THE BABY , RIGHT BEFORE I MEET JESUS, IT STILL BOTHERS ME TODAY , COULD I HAVE DONE MORE IF I HAD BEEN SAVED AT THE TIME , ONLY GOD KNOWS; BUT THE PARENTS WILL ANSWER TO GOD , NOT ME

  • @ 36sweettooth no another awesome song of his is "she's the reason Jesus came"

  • is this like the only song this guy sings??

  • It is truly a great song, fresh, melodic, catchy, and inspirational, but I always hate when Christian artists have to have their puss front and center on these promo pictures/CD covers like they are heartthrobs or heartthrob wannabees. It presents a mixed message of what they are selling. It is a fine line to walk.

  • @ranhound is paul alan still in a band...?

  • @MrPokemonmasterbx - don't know

  • I LOVE THIS SONG GOOD JOB PAUL

  • i have been looking for this song for like 4 months finaly found it!!!! ;] i love it!!!

  • @pinkstilettobritt16 Same here!!! it was hard for me to find cause i didnt know what it was saying..:P but im good now

  • I always thought it said I left in 99 to find the one.. now I realize it probably says I left the 99 to find the one.. alluding to something in the bible I think i forget

  • @okthatsnice Yeah... He's talking about how Jesus would leave his 99 sheep just to find the 1 that strayed away, resembling how far God would go to keep us safe.

  • i love this song!!!!

  • Love this song

  • I found this song by googling "Hello it's me I couldn't sleep I was just counting sheep." Because I had heard it on the radio. This song is awesome

  • @gunggung1 Hahaha! Oh crap that's funny, my girlfriend and I just did exactly the same thing and your's was the first comment we saw...comedy.

  • I have always loved this song bit never knew what the name of it was! It descpribes my life too @MrPokemonmasterbx!! ;) ♥

  • Haha.

    I love this song.

    I call it the sheep song :)

    Haha

  • I love this song!

    "You can't find your place in a world that wasn't meant for you."

    Awesome! Thanks for posting!

  • Thank you God !!!

  • This song explains my whole life.......

  • Wow I love the bass guitar in this song.

  • <3 <3 <3 <3......

  • I'm glad I found this song.. I didn't know the name, I just typed in "I left the 99 to find the one"

  • @sylacaugachildhood lol, That's how I found this singer. Is by the lyrics, those exact ones actually haha. This is a great singer, got his album because of it ^_^

  • lovely ;D!!! SOOO GOOODD!

  • I Love this song it is so emotional .

  • This songs meaning and sound is just simply astounding.

  • FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

  • Its the story of how a shephard left his 99 sheep to find a single sheep that was lost... represents the love that God has for every single on of us

  • Comment removed

  • what does 99 mean in this song?...that's what he says right? "i left the 99 to find the one"

  • It's a metaphor for a shepherd. God will leave the 99 sheep that he has (these represent the saved people he has) in order to "find" or "save" the one lost person that is out there. He would leave all of the 99 saved souls to find the one lost to have all of his sheep together and safe.

  • Great song :)

  • Comment removed

  • omg hes such a good singer but i can never find any of his songs

  • Hey omg this song rocks and has very touching lyrics =). God Bless All. Keep rocking for God all christian bands out there. =)

  • amazing omg .,.

  • are you thirsty, standing in the rain?

    that is so deep

    this song is timeless, it allows me to imagine myself as the one Christ is looking for. While I'm counting sheep He is painstakingly seeking for me in LOVE.

    only to bring me back 5/5 *****

  • The lyrics to this song of some of the most profound Christian lyrics I've ever heard. Songs like this would captivate so many people if they would just stop and listen.

  • "the basement" (just google) with Matt Pitt and give glory to GOD for he has led 5,000 kids that were homeless or in gangs to Jesus Christ :) May GOD continue to lift up our hearts and follow the commandment he bestowed on to us, "As I have loved you, show others the same love that I have shown you"

  • geesh i cant get over this song-i get goose bumps every time i hear it. i wish there was a way for like everyone could hear it cuz its definitely one of those songs ppl need to hear

  • WOW, I can't believe this is Paul Allan that sings this! I admit I didn't care much for the song before, but I like it a lot more knowing he sings it. I can't believe its the same guy that sang the beautiful song about his future wife with "Maybe Tomorrow." He had me with that song, and we all need to remember it.

  • does any1 know how old he is and if he is married???

  • Anybody know how they do the electric guitar effect at 1:23?

  • no clue!!! but i know a guy who can do it!!

    its crazy!!!

  • Firstly you need a "wahwah" and distortion pedal, then finger pick two strings at the same time (dont know the chords, try a "D", first and third fingers) While finger picking, stop the sound with your chord hand and slowly move the wahwah forward and back.

  • Flanger pedal and/or chorus?

  • I love this song so much. :] God is good. :]

  • this is a great song! i love it! :)

  • woot go God

  • <3 the song! I especially the chorus! It definitely reminds me that God is always looking for us and trying to help us when we sin!

  • some one should post the lyrics

  • I gots the lyrics! ~requests my lyrics video as a responce~

  • God is the Father of Christ. Christ is His son. Read the Bible.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is wonderful! It reminds me how much Jesus loves us. I was once that lost sheep till Jesus found me. I am blessed and grateful for his love.

  • Omg i luv this song so much && it's like ezactly what we're talkin about in church like reaching out to the one and being the one so it's coincidental that i just heard it today

  • is this a christian song?

  • yeah it is...

  • darn, i cant listen to it then.

  • why not?

  • cuz im not Christian...

  • lol ok. I listen to some non-Christian music. That doesn't mean I'm an atheist.  But you listen to whatever you want to listen to. I personally think there is alot of talent among Christian artists, as well as non-Christians.

  • is the SONG Christian, or is the ARTIST Christian?

    lol

  • the artist is christian and the song is christian. Its about how God loves you so much that if he had 100 sheep and you were that one missing sheep leaving him with 99, he would "go a thousand miles in the desert sun only to bring you back"

  • oh cool thanks!

    i love learning about different religions.

  • Only to bring you back

    ahhh I LOVE this song!!!

  • It touched me in a way i cant put into words and yes it did come to me at the time i needed it the most when i hear it i cry every time..I turn to my husband and it reminds me what he has done for me how much he loves me a tear falls down my face just to have him wipe it away

    thank u paul

  • Stay strong, keep a strong foothold in our lord's presence and resist all else. Because in the end only God matters.

  • Think about the complexity that is involved in God's workings. Songs like this that gives you "chills" and "touch you so deeply" are straight from God himself. Think of how this song may change but just a few peoples lives or possibly hundreds.

  • This is such an amazing song... I love it!

  • chills through to WHOLE SONG!!!

    JUSS AMAZING HOW GOD TOUCHES YOU

    THOUGH A SONG, AND ITS LYRICS!!

  • One of best messages Ive heard in a awhile...it broke my heart whn i first heard it...felt Jesus in it...crying out to all of us, his lost sheep...all over, the ones hidden...

  • PRAISE JESUS

  • I love this song, real stuff

  • He would leave millions and billions to find just one!! What a great God. Plus, he likes Cheese!!! CHEESE IS AWESOME!!! And Bacon!!

  • Comment removed

  • I am thirsty.. I need a fresh touch by YOU GOD... I STILL BELEIVE EVEN WHILE YOU ARE SILENT.. amen

  • yea same here

  • thank you for writing this song, paul alan, wherever you are. bless your soul for listening to God.

  • JESUS will walk a thousand miles in the desert sun to bring US back!

    JESUS LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :D

    @_@

  • i love this song lots!!!!!

  • LOVE IT!!! JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!

  • you bet! :D

  • Are you thirsty, standing in the rain? Not sure where you are or how you lost your way Are you drowning Some bar outside of town? Searching for something given not found A crowd of people totally alone At the front door Worlds away from home And light up the night's last regret Burn your only safety net Step to the edge it's such a long way down And I left the ninety-nine to find the one and you're the one I walked a thousand miles in this desert sun Only to bring you
  • this song rocks

  • HE ROCKS!

  • this song is so amazing. like everyone else... it is one of my favorite songs. it has many different sides to it, yet it still holds the faith in god. sometimes, the songs on the radio are all about the materialistic and inapropriate stuff, that we forget about the good songs like this.... :)

    god bless all

  • This song is just soooo awesome to me. I mean in a way its like a rock song at a point like how he says stuff thats real and a lot of singers are afraid to do that like the part he says, hello its me i couldnt sleep i was just counting sheep thats kool. I LOOOOOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • I heard this song on a radio staton (air1) and I had to find out the name and singer of this song!!!!

  • i did the same thing lol

  • lol, me too!

  • Omgosh this song is so amazing. It just makes me so happy!

    God Bless everyone!

  • Is it really a matter of religion... rahter than just a pure blind faith in a GOD that shed his blood for our sins. BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE WITHOUT SEEING... Religion is man made and can cause you to stumble... Christ is my religion. Blessings to all

  • I'm nondenominational to.

  • Me too... reliogion does not equal GOD for me... My reigion is JESUS CHRIST OUT LORD AND SAVIOR

  • anyone who is christian, maybe with the exception of catholics, aren't religious. religion is a belief in a system of works to get you to heaven, nirvana, or whatever else people think of. Christians believe that Christ will bring them to heaven not some system of works

  • I agree

  • amen

  • Amen

  • I'm non-denominational as well!

  • such an amazing song!!!

  • omgsoh! i have been looking for this song i love it and i didnt no the tittle

  • Same here.Heard it on the radio like,a month ago,and still remembered "And your the oneeee!!"

    :] awesome song.

  • AWESOME song. How is this guy not more popular ?

  • i realy love this song....but i must know (sorry for my ignorance) what the 99 is?

  • In the Bible there is a story of a sheep herder that had 100 sheep and on eof them kept running away and the Sheep herder would always go and look for his lost sheep to bring him back... The Sheep herder is our savior (GOD) and the sheep are us (his children)... GOD will always bring back his lost sheep. The story is more invoved but I am out of writing space... hope this helps.

    forhelives

  • Thank you so much for that explanation! I really love this song but I didn't really understand the lyrics. *laughs* It makes so much more sense now, and I'm gonna listen to it all over again now that I've got this new understanding. Cheers!

  • Are u even religious?!

  • Nope.I'm Atheist.

  • Um, first of all we don't know exactly when Jesus was born and yes He became a peasant and lowered Himself, that was the point.

  • wat r u talking about how could god be a peasent if he was never born? and y july 2nd?

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome song. Great message. God is great!!

  • Tonight god let me help a random person out (just paid a toll for him nothing big) after that I said to god..wow out of a life time of sinful mistakes you gave me the oppunity to glorfy you once more. thank you. then this song comes on "I left the 99 to find the one and your the one." It made me so happy to reflect how god has done that for me last year around this time...started to cry tears of Joy. I think Im going to use this song in my testimony on sunday at church.

  • Hey that's all cool and stuff but I dont mean to offend you or anything but God is capitalized. Just saying, not trying to be annoying or anything. God Bless :)

  • I am not offended at all. My grammer and spelling needs help! Thanks and God bless.

  • I comend you, continue to pay his love forword to this dying world.

    your brother in christ, elwood

  • Matthew 18:12. Great song!

  • lol, I just realized it's from that Bible verse..I think it's in Matthew, what with the shepherd who leaves his ninety nine sheep to find the one lost one...

    Ah! it makes me love the song even more.

  • i have been looking for this song! i heard it on the radio a few times and then they said the artist and i found it! its such a beautiful song =)

  • "i left the 99 to find the one, and youre the one. i walked a thousand miles in this desert sun."

  • My favorite song by him is Wreckage. AMAZING SONG!! I just wish I could get guitar lyrics for it

  • Awesome Song!

  • he is cute! :)

  • good song good song!

  • you said it all buddy

  • i'd have to say that is the most catchy chorus i've ever heard!! i read his myspace and Paul said he is deeply christian but doesnt speak the language. i understand that.

  • absolutely love this song!!

  • can you put the lyrics in the video on the side i love this song so much

  • I absolutely love this song, but I didn't get what it was really talking about till like the 10th time I heard it!!! I love it even more now that I know what it's talking about though.

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know what this song probably means?

  • this song is referring to Matthew 18:12 in the new testament. It's when Jesus offers the parable of the lost sheep, and the shephard. The shephard has 100 sheep and one wanders off. he would leave the 99 to out and find the one, and when found, be happier that one sheep was saved even though he left the others unwatched. its the same as the way God looks after us even when we are totally lost.

  • your right and its actually kinda like Audio Adrenalines song Leaving 99 but there both unique in there differet ways but i love this one

  • i love that parable. and i love this song.

    god bless. :)

  • you mean God bless

  • beautiful song...i love it.
