@biggyd67 This is one of the only songs I was told NOT to play during my 11 years in Christian radio! The General Manager thought that the song did not contain a gospel message "as a whole"...just the punchline of Julianna getting saved at the end. Anyway, I consider it to be one of the better CCM songs of all-time. Thanks for the comment!

@SkeebWilcox What radio station did you work for? I heard it all the time on Christian radio in the Dallas-Fort Worth area during the late 90s, early 00s...

Amazing song from two of my favorite artists! Andy Denton, in my opinion, is one of the best singers and writers in Christian music today! His heartfelt lyrics and passion can be felt and heard each time he sings. His music does what it was meant to do, minister and bring peace to the weary souls who listen. Christian or non-Christian alike.

I like the Extraordinary Love on the album the best. They played it all the time on KDUV, Visalia CA. (Sorry if the spelling is wrong) I liked their music alot anyway. I'm thinking of posting that song on youtubes, but I'm afraid of being banned.

I too have been looking for this song for years and just bought it on Amazon. Thanks for posting.

@SkeebWilcox That's the problem with Christian radio as a whole. Most Christians think that unless you mention God or Jesus, or sing specifically about the cross it's not a Christian song, as if a Christian's life only deals with salvation and that's the end of it. That's why so many great bands don't make it in Christian radio and so many songs on Christian radio are trite, and the same thing that every other band on Christian radio sings about.
