  • Shout it all out!! JESUS!!

  • The power of God supports this testimony..Kirk is such a blessing..He hasnt hidden his failures even as Christian. Kirk has been quite transparent..Thus he is showing us how Christ Jesus is not a fare weather friend, He is always with us when we walk faithfully as a Christian and when we stumble (as a Christian)..Sorry to have to say this, but some Christians turn their noses up at you when you screw up, but not Jesus, He picks us up and dusts us down (this is being real)..God bless Kirk x

  • @nysongbird ROCK ON! Way to GO, nysongbird!

  • Rappers your egos are gonna be hurt but Kirt Franklin killed us on this song with his flow..... dead serious

  • The media can throw illusions of positivity in order to allow negativity to properly manifest in ones psyche. Bait and switch. Yes the song and message are great. But beware of false profits.

  • this song makes me cry! i love it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • God bless you Kirk God brought you through.you can hear in his voice that he means everything hes saying..This song is so Emotional... I gotta learn to LET IT GO.

  • Wow. I really really needed this. I am just 9 days clean. So is my boyfriend. He is in rehab right now. He is the love of my life and I am his. We love Kirk and Yolanda. This song is so moving. I am in tears right now. This live performance, wow, you can just hear the pain and passion in his voice. Awesome is all that I can say. If you are going through a drug addiction just hold on. You can and will overcome. Pray and find a meeting!!!!

  • @nysongbird Hang in there nysongbird. I'm praying for you. Hold tight to Jesus Christ and HE will give you life. I'm the guy who posted this kirk video because it was so powerful to me. I just now saw your comment and wanted to say you have touched me with what you wrote. My heart goes out to you and your boyfriend and I wish God's blessings for your life! Ken

  • @nysongbird GOD BLESS yall thats wonderful

  • This is so sad. I feel for him He made it through. God bless you kirk.

  • This song make me cry everytime

  • OMGosh that was DEEP. I'm speechless. An inspiration is right. Amen.

  • Too bad Sonny couldn't join them also. I loved the Kirk-Sonny-Toby collab on the album.

  • Powerful...

  • @mcrchickenluvr I sincerely doubt it - human heroes just do not affect me that way any more. I love them, but I know that they are imperfect sinners just like me. Now may be if the Lord Jesus showed up in flesh, but somehow I believe I would be too busy hugging Him TIGHT!! Now He is a super hero!++++++ But seriously now, thank God for your baptism and the time you had - what a wonderful testimony.

    God Bless you always in Jesus Name - Amen.

  • As much as I love Kirk, you still can't beat the original Tears for Fears 'Shout'.

  • BTW I was talking to classicalpentecost not @khalsted. Just wanted to clear up any possible confusion. and by sheltering your kids, I meant what are you going to do if your kids end up going through the very thing that Kirk Franklin is talking about? I know no parent wants to see their kids hurt like that but, it could happen.

  • This is a real and powerful testimony I dont have anything else to say cuz nothing else is needed

  • The things he's talking about in this song, are real issues that a lot of ppl go through, and struggle with EVERYDAY. So for all the haters, IDK what world your in, but this is the REAL WORLD. And God delivers ppl from things like this everyday. If ppl would get over the fact that he used a secular song from back when, and LISTEN TO THE WORDS, not with your EARS, but your SOUL...you would understand what he's talking about. GODS NOT A BOX, he's NEW EVERYDAY.

    HUMBLEiSTAY

  • this is his testimony. It is about what he went through during his ungodly years. Some of the thing that he had gone through were not pretty or nice. But to the glory of God he was able to go head and find Jesus. And from there all of his sins, and all of his mistakes were erased. And just because his testimony was not clear to you does not mean it wasn't clear for somebody else. As christians we shouldn't even be talking about somebody else testimony of how God shows up and shows out.

  • I'm certainly not a racist, but have much difficulty understanding how a personal testimony set to a worldly song can be very uplifting to the Lord. I do know that God does show us examples of acceptable & unacceptable forms of music worship. My main problem with the testimony is that it refers & emphasizes all sins & lustful ways of his past life, with little mention or reference to the Lord & being a "new man" and creature of Christ. Has Kirk Franklin become "separated" from the world & past?

  • youre fuckin stupid and thats all that needs to be said far as you..... Im an atheist but good music is just good music. The reference of his CHANGE is PREVALENT in this song and it still somehow went over your dumb fuckin head! "Not racist"????...CLASSIC....only racists iterate, "Not racist"! Fuck u punk! U dont have shit to say about these white boys ROCKIN to "your god's" word! and ROCK is said to be the FUCKIN ORIGIN of satanism! So yeah, u dumb fuck, U ARE A RACIST AND A FUCKIN IDIOT! DIE!!

  • What exactly is an " unworldly" song? Any song that glorifies God (this does) is a worship song. Please do not try to confine God by your idea of what gospel music should be. Is an electric guitar worldly? It depends on the context it is used. EVERYTHING was created by God - even satan, he just decided to go his own way! This is Kirk's testimony. I am sure you know that "we overcome him (satan) by the Blood of the Lamb and the words of our testimony" - Rev 12:11. God Bless you!

  • @historian186 Who said I was trying to confine God? I was reading some comments a while back that said the lady sent her daughter out of the room because the song was pornographic. I know this song very well as I got to sing the chorus with a hip hop artist in church this week. All I was saying was that God uses even the slightest little things to make us see His glory and love. Read some more of my comments before you misjudge what I'm saying.

  • @mcrchickenluvr

    This comment was not about what you said - if you look carefully it was not directed to you. I DID comment on your wonderful, funny baptism experience though. God bless you always.

  • read between the lines. Kirk DOES talk about how he came to know Christ. All tha the was doing with this song was try to get people to realize that it doesn't matter what you have done in your life, god will still love you even if you think you don't deserve it. HE is not emphasizing all the bad things he did, but merely trying to let other people know that there isn't anything that can't be fixed with His love.

  • I couldn't have said it better. That's exactly what his intentions were with this song I am sure.

  • I had to tell my children to leave the room because of the FILTH that started pouring out of the speakers of this computer when this clip started. This is AWFUL and UNGODLY!! This don't do anything but glorify the most VILE WICKEDNESS! JESUS is NOT GLORIFIED BY SUCH AS THIS! NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!

    The angels don't fly around the throne of God rapping this sort of stinch in the ears of the thrice holy CHRIST

    REPENT YOU VILE IDIOTS!

  • Your comment is absurd. I've been a Christian and Disciple of Jesus for 28 years now and this is one of the most annointed music events in all of History. Just because the Angels don't rap (and that's your opinion) doesn't mean that God can't use rap music for His Glory, especially when it comes from the heart of one of his own children. You do not have the heart of Christ, that's for sure.

  • So using a secular rock song written by devil possessed idiots to enhance a "so-called" testimony (which I could NOT allow my 12 year old daughter and younger children listen to for the graphic sexual content) is acceptable in the sight of God? I think you are ABSURD! The only Glory in this video was given to the filthy artist, NOT to a HOLY GOD! You love rap because you are unregenerated! I was delivered from rock music 22 years ago when I got SAVED! I've HATED THE FILTH EVER SINCE! HALLELUJAH!

  • Your piety knows no limits. The more you talk, the more you reveal your unGodly nature. This video is for anyone who has lived in this world only to be consumed by it. Kirk is trying to show that JESUS is the only way, and that the huts of life have to be LET GO. How you can NOT see that is beyond me. I've never once accused anyone of being racist, but you must be. There is no other explanation.

  • Your religious. The last time I remember, GOD wasn't a religion or a BOX. It was a personal relationship between you and him. And you have it all twisted...he's NOT glorifying the WORLD, or the BAD things that he did, he's telling of it and how he came out of it. But you can't see that cause your STUCK on the song that he used!! You must remember, GOD created EVERYTHING. And you sit here shouting your HALLELUJAH, and AMENS when really, your ignorant, and can't see that the GOD your talking about

  • really can use this to reach out to someone! Someone that's been through the same thing and maybe doesn't know how to get out of it! Look past the religiosity, and the SONG, and see that this is the 21st century...YOU CAN'T REACH EVERYONE THROUGH HYMS AND SMACKING THEM ON THE HEADS WITH BIBLES. God is a NEW God, and he's NOT BORING or the same as he was 1,000 yrs ago. Its as simple as that. And all those bad things, are what ppl in the "REAL WORLD" are trying to get delivered from today.

  • Um...

    Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. "

  • @classicalpentecost I've been a Christian since I was around 14 years old, but I have also been through hard times. Anyone and EVERYONE could stand to be closer to God - even you. BUT, when you carry around things of your past, hurt, sadness, regrets, ect, it's hard to move foward. This sond is perfectly appropriate. He isn't glorifying the devil, he's trying to let go of his past, do he can be a better christian.

  • @khalsted Have you ever heard of the band Stryper? they are a CHRISTIAN rock band that delivers the great news of Christ. As does Kirk Franklin. He's using his life's experiences to show that people can get through whatever crap they're going through. The stuff that he's talking about is stuff that people go through everyday. Drugs, sex and rape are a part of everyday life for a lot of people. But, if you want to shelter your kids from stuff that like that go ahead.

  • @mcrchickenluvr, yes I have heard Stryper's music. I first heard them back in 1985 or so I believe. I'm 38 now and I not only write and record my own Christian music, but I also love many different styles and types of music. Stryper, Petra, Carman, Third Day, Skillet, etc. Kirk will reach people that Stryper can't, and vice versa. They all have their place. Jesus said if you're not against me, you are FOR me. I love those diff groups.

  • Actually I was asking classicpentecostal that question. But I love Stryper. I got baptized to "Honestly" back in 2004. I wanted my pastor to sing it but instead he got a friend of his to sing it. That 'friend' was Michael Sweet. Well it was a video of him singing it but still, Michael Sweet sang it at my baptism.

  • That's really cool! MS singing that song for you. wow. very cool.

  • @khalsted Oh yes it was. And I was shocked too. I almost passed out. But, that would have been a bad thing seeing as I was standing in water that was chest deep. but yeah it was awesome.

  • lol lol! God Bless you for not passing out - you would not have been baptised!! Stay in His Grace- Amen.

  • @historian186 I am always in His grace. But come on you know you would have felt the same way.

  • Comment removed

  • You are the same person as 'classicalpentecost'. But good try.

  • LOL what is wrong with you? He is talking about all the bad things he used to do and how he came to God. I'm sure you don't have a totally clean slate.

  • how is this ungodly? Kirk has helped bring a lot of people to christ. Last time I checked, satin wasnt in the saving business. And I dont think calling people VILE IDIOTS is very godly.

  • powerful!

  • this really touched my heart the first time i watched this..... thanks for posting it up:)

    and thanks to kirk for singing this tremindious song i love it♥

  • Every time i listen 2 this song it stills my breath, sends chills thru me n gives me goosebumps. Its just so powerful and deep from the soul. i think Kirk Franklin Is An Amazing Artist. "Let it go" and "Imagion Me" Are My Favorites. Breath Taking.

  • 2 words: Deep Lyrics!

  • what a life.... i feel sorry for him,poor guy....by the way , i like the end from :''Jesus please on my knees''.......to : ''let my son be a better man then me''..... god bless Kirk Franklin

  • inescapablyLeibod your so right

  • it's more than words can ever explain,

    but kirk finds a way to say it all.

  • This song is deep

  • This more than deep it his his life story, this performance is deeper than the video

  • wow!.....this song made me cry!....but what a great Testimony of his!

  • why is pornography in the tags ?

  • "10 yeasr old and finding love in dirty magazines" being a porno addict was one of his struggles growing up before he got saved.

  • Actually, he struggled with porn long after he got saved. He was struggling with porn into his 30's while he was making platinum albums.

  • cause he used to struggle with addiction to pornography.

  • I see pain in his life....anyhow its all about letting it go.....God bless u and

  • And one more thing lord let my son be a better man than me

  • this song sends cold all over me men.i feel it deep within

  • litened to imagine me also? he has a strong message in his songs. God bless u kirk

  • i cried cuz this can relate to my life kinda its so sad

  • WOW! That's all I can say! WOW!

  • ive always loved this song. but when I learn to pay attention to his lyrics. wow. it speaks. so MUCH. so HARD.

    love this guy and toby as well.

    great job to them =]

  • This performance is awesome.

  • you do know he's in the song rite?

  • what ???

  • powerful message..

  • man i love this song kirk really told the truth just cuz he got that past dont mean nothing just shows that with all those hardshipsx in life you can do better if you put it in gods hands

  • Beautiful

  • I am so steadfastedly rooted in what this life is, that I, like too many others, are walking, living, breathing examples of this matter-of-fact truth. I am also determined, that if this song doesn't affect/effect/annoint one ( including the 'Holy Ghost Goosebumps), then that one is either a reprobate or yet to be-born-again...Deep Calleth Unto Deep GORGEOUS INTERACTIVE TESTIMONY!!

  • If this song doesn't make you want to be a better man for your family with God's help then I'm worried about you. Great comment you made! Blessings

  • Straight Up Word Friend!!! Just subbed you...Thanks for this post...You have supplied so many with honestly by posting this song/vid...SHOUT...

  • this song is jst wat u can relate with

  • Powerful!!!

  • He says her bold statements coming out her mouth reminds him of how the Lord speaks through him, therefore she is a very Godly woman. I told his butt go be with the heffa than.

  • She said that my fiancée is more dedicated to the Lord than I am, therefore I am hanging on his coat tail. She told me that because I am not baptized I cant possibly speak in tongues so I am a liar. My fiancée neither agree nor disagree with this woman. He just says he loves me and wants me to listen to her because the Lord speaks through her. But I think he wants me to be like this heffa, brag about how holy and better I am.

  • awesome testimony --only God alone can turn a hardened, miserable, broken and sinful person back into the "masterpiece" God has made them to be...............I speak from experience ....PSALM 40 !!!

  • this song touch me omg wow i did not know how deep life was tell i listen to this song think to you Krik Franklin

  • Praise God. I pray for everyone who will hear this song that you will give it all to Jesus... You don't have carry it anymore... Jesus Loves YOU... give it up to Him

  • Wow, i feel tingling in my body and my soul too. Amazing, praise God for healing Kirk as an example so we know we can be healed too. Totally agree what jteshuwah said "There is no shame that Christ's blood can't cover and there is no pain his stripes can't heal! Praise God! Amen! " AMEN!

  • I love all his music but, this is for real talk!

  • WOW! For a man of that magnitude and stature to openly admit his short comings and failings before God, without trying to justify or defend himself in any way, is amazing. That's the kind of heart God loves - broken and contrite. Truly, he's an inspiration for the rest of us. There is no shame that Christ's blood can't cover and there is no pain his stripes can't heal! Praise God! Amen!

  • gave me chills too..ion really digg kirk like dat

  • Wow this is powerful. I felt the tingling of the Holy Spirit.. Praise God. Thank you for your honesty Kirk. God allows certain things so when he liberates you many will be liberated with you! God is perfect.
