This is heavenly music, praise be to God.

[gneemarie]

I love this song. I have sung it in a church in London, with people from all over the world at L'Abri Fellowship in England, at a church on Bowen Island In British Columbia, here im my kitchen in California. I will take it with me wherever the Lord leads.

[rideswithastorm]

@gneemarie It's so wonderful to read of all the marvelous places this song has been sung, and by so many God-gifted people.. may you all be Blessed abundantly, and all whom you love. gneemarie, thank you for sharing your experience with us.. singing for the Lord is such a privilege, and singing beautifully inspiring words such as BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE, is such an honor for us all..

(smile) ..

God Bless!

I have sung this song many times at Penninsula Bible Church, near San Jose CA which has their sermons available in print or audio at pbcc.org .

Where have you sung it? I don't think I've sung it antwhere else, I loved this song and the video you have added. The words and music seem to get more powerful every year. It is probably simply that I am getting to know my Lord and Savior better every year, don't you think? -Kevin M

[rideswithastorm]

@kevinwwjd2 I've sung it up and down California, in many of our churches, at bible conferences, concerts and association meetings. As you know, this song is always a FAVORITE. Yes, dear brother, I believe it's the depths of Gratitude and Love the words inspire within our souls, thru the Glorification by God's Holy Spirit.. may he continue to inspire, uplift and bless you and all those whom you Love, dear one, beyond all measure.

Cloned robots obey as commanded or else hard punishment will be yours.

It's so easy to use FEAR and UTOPIA as a way to deceive ignorant people who have not entertained religions past.

Or entertained science as it now stands.

Fear based dogma only works on ignorant people.

But for some ignorance is absolute bliss

[rideswithastorm]

@SharedViewsNews Dear one, you assume fear brought me to the faith I've obtained in Jesus the Christ. . My faith n Him, was born out of the Selfless Love He expressed for me on a lonely and cruel cross. His message is neither one of FEAR, nor of UTOPIA, but of FORGIVENESS and SALVATION. Those who seek these things, know why they seek them; If you do not, then go in peace, and may God be with you on your journey. :)

[bigal52384]

Your sentiments are resonated exactly! Thank you Jesus for the cross of Calvary and the Blood of the spotless lamb!! The one who will reigns victorious!!!!

[Godbtheglory1]

rideswithastorm U are blessed and i was blessed to tune into this site and read your comments. I will keep u in my prayers. May God continue to anoint u for his glory.

[rideswithastorm]

I didn't find it, Peter. there were several God Inc's, but no God is good.. am I in the right place?

[rideswithastorm]

I saw several marked God Inc but no "God is good".. am I in the right place?

[CultOfDusty]

I am so glad I had a box of tissues handy... because I masturbated to this three times.

[PeterRabbitTV]

@CultOfDusty:

HA HA HA HA!

[rideswithastorm]

Hello, Peter Rabbit/CultOfDusty!

You really need what God is offering you..

you think you're shocking, but really, you're just another lost soul, like I was.. like so many others who ridicule anything about God. Somehow, you feel this makes you special.. but in fact, you're special to God.. He pitied you enough to die in your place.

The world offers you hatred, selfishness and greed, but Jesus calls you to a deeper purpose, of caring for others.. won't you join Him?

Love,

Teresa

[PeterRabbitTV]

@rideswithastorm:

We feel special because we see through the delusion.

You should at least spend some time getting to know me before you start throwing around the word "love." Let's put this in perspective. I met my friend Darlie about a YEAR ago, and since we've kept in touch with each other for so long, it's now appropriate for us to constantly tell each other how much we love one another.

[rideswithastorm]

But what if the delusion turns out to be, that you thought GOD was a delusion.. what then?

The thing about Love is, unless you are able to give it away, even to those who hate you,

IT ISN'T LOVE AT ALL.

You and Darlie are IN love.. that's different.

You are not romantically in love with your friends, nor your father and mother..

There are different kinds of love..

[rideswithastorm]

but all are wonderful and to be received with thankfulness. Don't thank me, but at least consider this: "FOR WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US." God is Holy, everyone knows that.. but He judges according to the intents and purposes of the heart, and not by appearances.. HIS is the ULTIMATE Love.. but instead of me trying to explain it to you, why not listen to the song, one more time.. only.. listen with your heart. ~<3~

[PeterRabbitTV]

@rideswithastorm:

>You and Darlie are IN love.

I wish. Unfortunately, she's old enough to be my mother. Your argument doesn't work.

[rideswithastorm]

Alright, I misunderstood your relationship with Darlie.. but you love each other.. Love is a wonderful thing; and it's always a privilege, to be valued by someone.. we ALL want to be Loved.. should God desire anything less?

Look into your heart.. the truth is there.. if you care to understand the great mystery of God and His Love, just ask Him..

He's listening.. and waiting for you to let Him into your heart.

He is our Perfect, Spotless Righteousness.

One with Himself, you cannot die.

Teresa

[PeterRabbitTV]

@rideswithastorm:

I have a better idea.

Go to YouTube(dot)com/Underlings and watch the video "God is Good."

[rideswithastorm]

I'll do that.

Then I'll come back to comment you.

:)

[rideswithastorm]

It's not there..

did you send me on a RABBIT HUNT, Peter?

lol

[PeterRabbitTV]

Check your inbox.

[rideswithastorm]

Hello, Peter. Now, I've seen you, and You're a cute kid. I wish everyone in your life, would treat you right.. I'm going to pray about that, for you. You'd be surprised how God listens to my prayers. No, I'm not special. But a little faith makes a big difference.. Faith really does move mountains. Keep smiling, kid.. (smile) God Bless.. Teresa (Rideswithastorm) x

[cvnawesome]

@farminglsforme

actually, unlike you radical fucks, we have an open mind, so you might just want to shut the fuck up, cause an intolerant view like that will have your savior sending you straight to the firey pits you insist everyone else is going to. :)

[rideswithastorm]

@cvnawesome You are responsible for your own faith, but I'll pray for you and ask God to help you find it. I had to find mine. I never told you that you were going to hell, but if the idea bothers you, then why not give your life to Jesus? He is the one you're actually angry with, but He gave everything He had, to offer you HEAVEN.. take it, or leave it.. it's up to you.. but don't be angry at Him for loving you or at us, for choosing JESUS..

God Bless!

Teresa

[pianodjr]

@cvnawesome Interesting, you say Christians are intolerant. But, from what you just said here, YOU are extremely intolerant of our faith in Jesus Christ. God is the one who made the way, not us.  God is the one you are really angry with. I hope you will be reconciled to him. It is worth it more that you know. He really does love you, I just want you to know that more than anything. God bless you!

[reachtheworld101]

@CultOfDusty

I know you lack belief... But that's just uncool :(

[rideswithastorm]

Hello, reachtheworld101! CultOfDusty is also PeterRabbitTV.. He turns out to be an intelligent and likable kid, believes himself to be an atheist.. lives with his parents whom he said are abusive.. keep him in your prayers, dear. We do have an open forum but we also address all comments, just as you have done. Your comment was tasteful and forthright.. thank you so much! Keep speaking the truth, wherever you see opportunity.. the need is great.

God Bless!

[philipbiro]

bless this singer and every one in the world. doesn't matter if they have problems phisycally and mentally.

everyone is special to god. he gave us the choice to praise him or not we are not robots to him he does not force us to praise him. he didn't force adam and eve to do wrong and eat the apple he told them not to but the rest stood on them. and look over us not in pity but in hope that we all will turn to you one day and admit that we are nothing without you.

[rideswithastorm]

philipbiro..

When we look up, we see a sky, perhaps a few birds flying in it..

but if we first speak to God before we go out and look up..

we suddenly see MORE than a sky or a place for birds to fly.. we see the endless repose of our Heavenly Father, and imagine the magnificence of His Throne of Grace, behind this airy curtain.. we know,

"that we all will turn to you one day and admit that we are nothing without you. "

Amen, dear friend.. Amen.

(smile) God Bless!

[rideswithastorm]

Hello, philipbiro!

WELL SAID..

"god is the only one that can gift us with this. thank you lord. "

When I put this video together, God showed Himself all through the making of it.. everything, led by Him. At first when I decided I wanted to do videos, I as others thought, "small project".. but God takes the least of our talents, and builds His Ministries..

thank you for your kindly words here, brother.. much Grace to you, and all whom you love..

God Bless!

Hello, g1taro!

AMEN.. and the Great Amen, is JESUS.. when you speak that Word, all of Heaven and creation bows low.. it happened just now, when "spoke" it.. the mere mention, sends creation to its knees!

May all of your hopes and visions in His service, and in your daily walk with Him, lift you and all those whom you love, from Glory, to Glory!

[HereIamWhatNow]

Selah is a great group, and I love their version of this song. I wish more contemporary Christian songs had lyrics like this. I love the beautiful poetry and careful choice of words that some of the old hymns contain, and I like the contemporary style of Christian music. I especially like it when the two are blended so perfectly by groups like Selah or singers like Chris Tomlin ("Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone" for example).

[rideswithastorm]

Hello, HereIamWhatNow.. Such mature observations, for one so young.. so tuned-in and receptive. Young one, stay sweet and innocent, and continue to grow in the Grace and Wisdom of God's Spirit. Yes, these Words are delightful, BEAUTIFUL, TRUTHFUL. When I sing this particular song in Church, the response is always AWE..not because of ME, but because the Words are so BREATH-TAKING. Oh yes, Chris Tomlin is ANOTHER anointed singer, like SELAH..

God Bless!

[castlefunk8]

I love the pictures in this video because they are so simple, yet tell so much, like the one at 1:32, it shows what Jesus is and what he did, 1:39, 2:22. and 2:25

[rideswithastorm]

AMEN, castlefunk8.. And when Jesus ascended after He rose from the dead, He sprinkled His Precious Blood around that Mercy Seat, and then SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, nothing more was needed to be said or done.. it indeed,WAS FINISHED: " ONE WITH HIMSELF, I CANNOT DIE.. MY SOUL IS PURCHASED BY HIS BLOOD! MY LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST ON HIGH, WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR AND MY GOD, WITH CHRIST, MY SAVIOR AND MY GOD!! " AMEN. (SMILE).. GOD BLESS! Teresa (Rideswithastorm). x

[Ballazone]

christianity is not a religion

its a relationship with God

[rideswithastorm]

AMEN.. WELL SAID, Ballazone.. (smile)

religion is merely man's search for God.. but to give ourselves to Jesus, begins an amazing journey that ECLIPSES any other.. yes, my brother, A RELATIONSHIP.. of the highest calling, and rapturous beyond words..

May God Bless you and all whom you love, always!

[swordsandsandals1]

Thanks for posting this music. I didn't particularly like the images you put with it, but each to their own.

[rideswithastorm]

Hello,swordsandsandals..

(smile) the EXSTACY of this message is actually found in the words! If you are rejoicing in the PROFOUND and BEAUTIFUL message found there, and if you are able to grasp the JOY and RAPTURE of the truths found in these words, then God has accomplished what He meant to accomplish, when He placed the fire in my heart that made me post this video..

(smile!)

God Bless..

Peace and Love!

Teresa.

[swordsandsandals1]

Oh don't get me wrong, this is my favourite hymn just behind in Christ Alone. I love it, and the meaning behind the words. I like this version as well.

[rideswithastorm]

Hello again, swordsandsandals!

(smile) I totally get you.. and if you truly do GET THE WORDS, then you must be either praising your Savior, or, on your knees in a prayer of thanks, when you hear your favorite hymn. TRULY, JESUS IS WORTHY of ANY and ALL that we can do, to glorify and praise Him, whether it be a video, or a song, or humbling ourselves before His awesome presence. I know you are as pleased as I AM, when He is elevated.

Love & Peace, SSS!

May God be pleased with you for what you are and for what you're doing.

May I know the singers' names, please?

Joyful, here in sunny Singapore.

[rideswithastorm]

ALL THE SWEETEST AND MOST CHEERFUL BLESSINGS UPON YOU, SEETJOHN..

(smile) the name of the gospel group is SELAH. Their music is SO anointed! My husband and I put in one of their CD's every night, crank it up, and go to sleep; thru the night, God speaks to our hearts with their songs.. it's amazing, how God uses their music in such deep ways! You can find a lot of their music here on youtube..

God Bless,

This is VERY good. It makes you really feel like your before the throne of God ^0^

[rideswithastorm]

Thanks for the lovely comment, Saberwin, it's much appreciated..

When we stand in the presence of God, there will be NOTHING TO COMPARE to our PERFECT, SPOTLESS RIGHTEOUSNESS, the GREAT UNCHANGABLE 'I AM'.. now we see thru a glass darkly, but then, face-to-face, WE SHALL KNOW, even as WE ARE KNOWN.. and we will lay our Crowns at His Feet. I can't wait to look Him in His eyes and call Him, "MY BELOVED"

(smile).. what a day that will be!

Peace & Love..

God Bless!

[MetalCrusade777]

THIS IS WHY Hymns are the bobizzle compared to more modern praise songs.

I mean the new stuff is good. The content in this, however, is just so much deeper.

[rideswithastorm]

ABSOLUTELY, MetalCrusade..

Every night, my husband & I put this CD on, before bed, and we drift off to sleep contemplating these august and glorious lyrics.. this is one of my favorites..the words resonate depths of faith difficult to describe; but God Blesses the vessels He uses to bring His music to us..

May God Bless us all, as we WORSHIP, descending the depths of our faith in HIM: Christ.. our Savior and our GOD!

this song is so powerful!! it's incredible. how can God love a sinner like me?! it doesn't seem possible does it? well, He loves us all enough to die on a cross to save us all from our sin and give us a chance for everlasting life in heaven with Him!!!!

xxx God bless! xxx

Thank you, Chrisallies!

your comments are so moving and I've been deeply touched in my heart, by what you've said.. when I make these videos, it's for the purpose of inspiring the very comments you and others have made, here.. OUR GOD is GREAT, and WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!

[chrisallies]

oops.... i meant GOD bless you all. lol!

don't let that take away from the meaning!!

[chrisallies]

i have pretty much no idea what you're trying to say, but i can gather that it's something about Jesus not being the Son of God. He is the Son of God!!!!!!!! and you'd better believe it mate!!! (or you're going straight to hell. Don't say i didn't warn you!) God Bless even those who don't believe in God's Son, the Risen Lamb, the Prince of Peace, King over all the earth, Jesus Christ my Saviour and my GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrisallies]

soooo powerful. we sang this today at church. i love this song so much!!!!!!!!!!

the great unchangeable I AM.

my soul is hidden with Him on high; with Christ my Saviour and my God. so true.
