Were You There

[Gukuthegreat]

Praise Jesus!!!!!

[sirbestnameever]

this is horrible and sick

[zxdfty77]

I often feel very sorry that folks get so caught up in the emotion of Jesus' death that they miss the REAL MEANING and importance of his LIFE:

Love everyone and everything & do no harm. We are all in this together! FORGIVE!

BE Merciful & DEFENSELESS.

Whatever you do to you brother, you are doing to yourself, & vis-versa.

Reuinite your Mind with God, & everything is possible -- so "phone home" often.

This sums it all up. The rest is just pitiful -- the same nonsense he came to save us from.

[Lorelle1020]

Hello,

I feel sorry that I only realized now that you answered a question of mine a long time ago ( My lack of knowledge of the youtube world and retrieving a message) reading it today was a blessing to me though that you took the time when I threw an honest question out there to anyone. Thank you, Lorelle1020

[freedomroad4U]

To the Athiest; I haven't found the word athiest in the Bible; the only word associated with someone who says that there is no God, is "Only a FOOL would say."

[reginagina123]

i love the song but i cant look at the pictures without almost crying....

[BlossomSunshine]

Is the woman at 1:50 the Virgin Mary?

[stallionspride]

Why everyone gotta, hate or love ... man Stop trying to convert us and we will stop with the hating.. lol

[stallionspride]

I love this song and am in Atheist, what you got against Athiests...?

[AwsomiSoftChannel]

For the Atheist out there. I pray that you change your minds, because if you don't, Hell is going to get another person on the stalk. <:O

PLEASE JUST BELIEVE! :D

[headyman01]

jesus doesn't exist, you do know that right?

[MrJRwow]

@headyman01

I will pray that you will be able to see the truth.

[welovemileycyrus11]

@headyman01 JESUS DOES EXIST YOU ATHIEST! READ THE BIBLE!!!! YOUR DUMB

[Thatoneguyiam739]

@welovemileycyrus11 Yelling(or typing in all caps.) is not a great way to show the love of Christ. Nor is calling the person dumb. or is spelling the word -you're- wrong. And if the person doesn't believe in Jesus, they don't believe in the bible. It's not their fault, they simply haven't had a personal interaction with God. (hopefully the word yet can be tagged onto the end of that)

[cmh149]

i totally agree with you. By claiming to be a christian and then yelling and calling people dumb is the reason why all christians are called hypocrites and if anything it turns people away even more and that's not what we want to do. Christian means little Christ which is what we are to be. i know Jesus would not be calling anyone dumb.

[factionbob]

Hey, what's the song? (like who is singing I love it)?

[TheSISTERSfromHEAVEN]

Everytime i think about jesus i always ask and pray hoping my friends and family will be okay in heaven and To tell them i miss them verymuch with all my heart

[DaBass001]

praise be to my Lord Jesus the king of kings and the prince of peace.

[getupcat]

praise him in the high...he is the King

[MrMikegriffey]

Praise Jesus' name for He is always worthy of our praise......thank you for dying for all mankind!!!

[nsima]

When the God speaks and we choose to listen its so powerful, and God certainly speaks throug this song!! i pray to god that all who listen to this song are blessed and then are thankful! i am so thankful to God for everything i have; being blessed with hearing to hear this song, and even the abilty to ttype this message. The love of God is too powerful for our human minds to understand. All we can do is live our life in honor of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another. God Bless!!

[DebCat129]

All I can say is WOW! I'm in tears...best version ever! From the heart...BRAVO!

[zbraswell2000]

Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

[Idotgotit]

Do not weep! For if he did not sacrifice himself, you could not be saved, for his blood was shed for the many (Meaning All)

[IheartChiroptera]

You say you made this "for fun"? You have a sickening idea of what "fun" is!

[angelicamy24]

Such an emotive video and music!

[TheRealEricLester]

no and if i was i would have tried to stop it, not sat back been so grateful for an innocent man dying on my behalf

[TheLadyrebekah]

a great song, very well done! i love selah! awsome & AMEN, AMEN, AMEN!

[kdubwalter]

Selah! amen i love this album

[justforflag2]

Yes, I was.

Think I wasn't? YOU CAN'T PROVE I WASN'T!!!

[BlakeLBoggs]

@justforflag2

Pourage.

[justforflag2]

@BlakeLBoggs

>.<

[gralvien]

Oh my goodness the hole in his hand...........

[anjel012]

My savior payed the ultimate sacrifice for me.. It's a debt i can never repay. For this i am forever thankful. What a blessing it is to know my Jesus christ!!!

[peaceluvjesus7]

People who say christians are judgeing you. please dont think that we just want you to see what Our Lord did for us? And there are plenty more christian songs out there that arent Boring as some people said like toby mac hes a awesome rap christian singer.This song is awesome it makes me cry to think that Jesus went threw all these things includeing Dieing for me.

[BlakeLBoggs]

@peaceluvjesus7

What you think he did, there is not a shred off evidence he ever actually existed and a mountain to the contrary. Suppose he did he sacrificed himself to himself to forgive his own grieves that he knew Adam and Eve would commit.

[Bryandixon76]

@BlakeLBoggs Read the Bible. Adam and Eve were the first humans on earth. God created man in his image. Jesus died on the cross as a sacrafice for our sins, including yours. Jesus was born LONG after Adam and Eve. If you would read the Bible and see everything that has been predicted come true, you would have your facts straight and understand that Jesus is the living word. Dont try so hard to disprove the Bible, you never will.

[BlakeLBoggs]

@Bryandixon76

I've read the Bible, wasn't impressed, it being the "word' tell me when was Eve created?

Why would Jesus being God need to sacrifice himself to himself to forgive anything?

On disproving the Bible, I could go do it myself, but I've not the patience.

Besides people have done a much better job than I could.

A good place to start would be with the user ProfMTH.

[2besavedcom]

Over the years we have all been lied to by many false religous leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker, please visit the web site which is displayed in my picture and user name and take the time to read some of the articles... You will be very shocked. There is an audio there that will shock you.

Blessings as you seek truth

Thanks

[writerforever97]

I was at church today and we sang this. I can't help but notice that every time we sing this beautiful song, afterward, nobody dares to talk other than the few whispers about how pretty the song is. It's a sad song, but in a way it gives me hope. God Bless You all!

[BlakeLBoggs]

@writerforever97

Yay mind control technics.

[acridwolf]

@RobertBaral365

Did the God you believe in love you enough to suffer for you? Mine did.

[BlakeLBoggs]

@acridwolf

This loving God of yours not know about Ectopic pregnancy, or are all those babys evil?

[musicianforjesus]

I love the vocals in this. I like at the very end where it just blasts wide open.

[MsMANUELCRUZ]

There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall,

and fade away. Sinners never experience true interior joy nor peace, for "there is no peace to the wicked,"

Bless is he who believes. † Bless you Jesus Christ †

[jsparrow7984]

Anyone who is not christian IS anti Christian as said so by Jesus

Luke 11:23 "Anyone who isn't with me opposes me, and anyone who isn't working with me is actually working against me." (NLT).

[cubsoversox12]

Do you think ants are aware of humans? What about fish in the ocean? All I am saying is that I will not dismiss the idea of life beyond ourselves as humans that we may not be able to see. Relatively speaking, not too long ago leading scientists thought the world was flat. Whatever we think we know now, I do not agree with discarding the idea that we could be wrong.

[willrocku228]

no need to be dissing a religion. I don't go around spewing off "the bang big is SHIT! I'm not anti big bang i just have a liking for the truth" it's lame k? You don't have to like Christianity. Not my problem if you think you just think that when you die, your gone. It's sad really. Please don't be hating on what other people, like myself, truely believe in. K? :)

[22200022]

boringgggggggg......

[janettehanzelka]

God is the greatest thing in my Life!!!!!

[The4hcowgirl]

it is better to believe in something and find it to be a lie;than to not believe and find it to be true..people were killed because of people like you who wont except the truth

[Shamoosa1989]

Oh we used to sing this in school....to our joy. :|

[queentutt1959]

check out Johnny Cash's version. Goose bumps! ! !

[hotjmp74]

Beautiful..... just beautiful. Congrats...!

[dimmadome07]

Such love and kindness poured forth from His heart. And they tortured Him for it. How does that make any sense at all? Jesus, I love You, and I'm following You all the way <3

[5937824]

who sings this song

[rcharter1000]

I believe that is Russ Taff singing. It sure sounds like him

[TheDeb19]

russ taff-selah

[cthulee]

My first memory of this song is when I was only eight years old. My grandpa played it on the piano and sang the words. Yes, I was young, but even then I recognized what the song meant...and what it meant for Jesus to die for or sins. No pressure from my parents or anyone else. Just my own faith as a child. I am so greatful that even though I've strayed over the years, i've always known He would and has welcomed back. Praise God.

[billfurd1]

ezmereldagreen do you honestly believe the Bull your typing? The good thing for you , is that even you can be forgiven, but it seems like you woulf rather be one of the Anti Christs that seek to destroy others fath to make your self feel better about your lack of self worth.

[ds19179]

This song is absolutely beautiful! It's really sad that not everyone will have eyes to see or ears to hear the beauty of what Jesus did.

[degotee]

nice!

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

It takes faith. I have a question though. Why do you find solace in bashing peoples beliefs? Why does it bother you so much that people believe in jesus. Have a great day. Dont want to start a dumb argument. Just live and let live. Cheers.

[jumong33]

lol agreed

[fruitofspirit]

Beautiful!

[jagheterjensjuh]

Fail

[Vedaseran]

Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." (Matthew 16:21-22)

[Vedaseran]

It's true that the apostle Paul did his evangelism after the crucifixion. However, we don't need to assume that they would all be dead 40 years later. The life expectancy in the near East was generally quite high for the time period. It was 67.1 years for males and 71.5 years for females.

[Vedaseran]

We do know our history but your conclusion is absurd. Jesus did not preach the burning of children. In contrast he said "whatever you do unto one of the least, you do unto me."

You are speaking of political Christendom, not the teachings of Christ.

[Vedaseran]

so what? A belief system is to be judged by its scripture/code, not the behavior of those claiming to be its adherents. Jesus reprimanded Peter for cutting off the ear of Malchus!

It would also be absurd to blame atheism for the deeds of Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong. It goes both ways.

[aznraida]

WOOOOOTTTT!!!!

ATHEISTS 4 THE WIN!!!

[trudybubbles]

Praise to my Lord and Christ Jesus for paying my ransom!

[tjcusack01]

Alleluia. Praise to Lord Jesus Christ Forever

[MTorres430]

I would rather choose what is good for my eternal soul today than to wait until I am gone from this earth and not have a chance to go back for a minor do over.

[MTorres430]

I believe on our final death bed or call it what you will, we will have to answer to someone, Because Im a Christian, that will be the Lord. And when that day comes we will be asked many many questios of our life here on earth. This doesn't exclude Hitler, Saddam, and everyone body that committed anything immoral. Including those, like myself, who have done "good".

[MTorres430]

Christ Will come again despite all "not good" deeds that have been committed. We have a choice to make. Its either yes or no or go or don't go or allow or don't allow. We will die and not live forever. In the ancient of days "those people" were not much different than we are today. Decades have passed and people have grown to adjust to it all, still having there sense of integrity and belief. Be it Christian, Atheist... etc. Weather we choose to believe or not to believe.

[Azsli]

You are half right.

We will die and live forever.

[MTorres430]

Amen! Yes we will live forever. And ever. God Bless you, always

[MTorres430]

Error in my comment above. I earlier stated "we will die and not live forever"...I really meant to regard not live forever on this earth....But in heven with our Lord and Savior we will live forever....

[54spiritedwill54]

praise the lord

[jacko3096]

as iwatched this video iwas truely challanged afresh THIS WAS WRITTEN IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THE ABSOLUTE FULLFILLMENT OF ISAIH CHAPTER 53 TO ALL WHO READ THESE COMMENTS READ IT FOR YOUR SELF AND BE GRATEFUL TO GOD OUR FATHER HE HAS THROUGH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS SET US ALL FREE TO HAVE ANEW LIFE IN HIM JESUS IS LORD WENEEDTO RECIEVE HIM AS OUR SAVIOUR AND LORD TO DAY BEHOLD THIS IS THE DAY OF SALVATION DO NOT WAIT FOR ANOTHERDAY

[josephg5b]

but, i'm christian, and for my sins a catholic. i've never lived in kerala. the christians in india are still sufferring as they are seen as western agents. sad... i see real christianity in the east. the west has forgotten what being christian means!?!

[GwenaMVM]

why are u watching then? do u need a sign?

[ezmereldagreen]

look its a beautiful story but i wish you lot would stop living in denial and check out the real history of christianity. how can he have died for my our sins ???? we werent born!!!! anyway i really cant see what good its done anyone. are you taught any history at all?

[Acumbow3]

But lets go back to the beginning of this whole comment page. I was talking about the crucifiction. Not the history of Christianity. We both need to read and think before we speak. I wish you the best in your education and the rest of your life.

[lifestoryofmusic]

Beautiful

[atownsoulja2131]

does anybody know who the people singing are? please let me know =D

[bandlmesze]

This is a beautiful song. thank you. (but i dont very like this part 0.00-0.10)

[disscaredem]

This song is awesome. The deeper meaning is seeing that the trembling believers do is that of awe. He conquered death in that rising. Amen

[smexy994]

we danced to this song at church

that was 3 years ago and i still remember the dance

[Acumbow3]

Have you ever really thought what it was like to actually have been there when Jesus Christ was crucified? The anguish and torture bestowed upon not just Our Lord, but everyone around him like Mary, Peter, and even the soldiers who drove the nails into his hands and feet and the spear into his side must have been like no other. Remember that when your day is rough, someone before you has had a much worse day.

[deutschphilippinen]

this song goes under my skin

[plesqua]

Our school choir is going to sing this song at the next chrismas concert

[faithhopelove101]

thank-you, Jesus, for dieing for me, a sinner

[Amancandy]

you know... Jesus did this for you and for me, 'cause we love us

[Radboy66]

I remember at mass one day we sang this, I think it was on Easter Morning, I was only about 8 at the time, it was my first time hearing it, it made me cry, it still does to this day.  Such a sad, beautiful song.

[PracticeMan69]

praise the lord

[mydivinelover]

Incredible song. It brakes my heart to think how much our Saviour suffered to give us eternal live.

Adoring Jesus teaches us to love You as you do.

God bless you for this video

[republicangathering]

For this is the king of the jews

[cindeemorgan]

Beautiful video! God bless you! God's sacrafice on the Cross rescued his children from eternal death. We invite you to check out our YouTube song/video as recorded by Dr. Walter Martin's grandaughter,Sharon Morgan, at the age of 7. "Fearfully And Wonderfully Made - Voice Of The Children". God's love for his children is indeed amazing!

[mikeb9900]

Thank you for posting this! No remarks from me could do this justice, so, just thanks.

M.B.

[sunkssdswtie]

This is such an amazing song, I've loved it from the first time I heard it. Listen to a choral version too, it's even more amazing...I have Concordia University's recording of it...AMAZING! Check it out :) God Bless

[mygirlgrace14]

Oh hey its " Selah "

[marchellesilcox]

It is Selah (Todd Smith) singing with Russ Taff. ;)

[3in1god]

The defining moment of creation. The day Jesus bought us back with His precious blood. Please God, take the veil off the eyes of those who don't know you, that the blood of Your dear Son is not wasted. That not one will perish. In Jesus name. Amen.

[twigggychick]

i thank u Lord!

there's nothing else i can say cos he went through that just so my sins can be forgiven. that is something special, something that a normal human being would never do and this shows how much jesus loves us.

may all the children of God be blessed.

[yankeesunshine1]

This is a very moving video and song! We should all recognize the sacrifice Jesus made for us and be thankful! Not just on Easter, but every day of our lives!!

[Girleve02]

were you there when they crucifyed my LORD?

thats a powerful question...its so sad to watch that.i cant think of how was for all that were there and loved jesus.

i can honestly say that i can feel every word of this song....its sad ti think of it...but the good LORD did it for all of us...Amen..Amen....were you there? wow!

thanks to you that put this on here. bless you.

[ranfranthompson]

Yes, who is singing? Couple of us want to know. Can not sing this, too many tears just rolled tonight at Good Friday services...

the guy singing this song is todd smith of selah. look up the group. they're amazing! russ taff sings with them. todd smith was influenced by russ taff when he was a boy. so they sound a lot a like.

[soulserena]

This is beautiful. I hope everyone will realize what we as a human race have done to Our Precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that we are only saved by His Blood, and by accepting Him as our personal Lord and Savior.

[Juriinho]

KATOLIK SOLDIER !!!

[sutter34]

WHO IS SINGING THIS SONG? I LOVE IT.

[boleyz]

Russ Taft I think.

[dpatrick1002]

russ taff had a a version years ago - this is selah. Selah was made up of a brother and sister and some other dude. Sister is now on her own, They have added another female singer. if you dig this you should also like there other stuff. They've been around around 10 years. The brother and sister were part of a misssionary family to africa.

[sutter34]

Thanks - I found the version you are talking about. I used to a slideshow on Easter. thanks for the info.

[frenchfry22]

Selah. A white brother and sister (and a friend who plays piano) who grew up as missionary kids (and grandkids) in the Congo.

[frenchfry22]

All their stuff is amazing.

[Debbieservantofjesus]

What an awesome rendition of this song. I was trembling by the end of this.

God Bless you for posting this.
