Wow Richard............this video is the strongest that I've ever seen on Youtube. I think you deserve an award. I subscribed to your channel so keep up the top notch quality media ministry you have going on here. :) May we live on behalf of Jesus towards the least of these.

Check out Micah 7 bro. You will pretty much find the lyrics ;)

We are sinners, both our hands.. but God is good! Where would we be without that! I think 7:7 really sums it up. We live in a messed up world, even we ourselves do messed up things BUT: (7:7) But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me

This is his solo project from Switchfoot. He's able to do these songs the way he wants to do them as an artist, because now they are independent. Jon has always been a very reflective songwriter, and this is the way he chooses to make his music. With no record label influencing them, they are more able to make their music as they want. Personally to me this Fall/Winter CD was AMAZING because I was losing faith in Switchfoot esp after Oh! Gravity. Seeing Jon do stuff like this is refreshing.

Excellent, Excellent song! I love how Jon starts the song singing about all of man's wickedness but then ends with God's redemptive work in our lives! AMEN! So much hope in the last part of the song...Love it!

I think it's talking about how we are so SKILLED at hurting each other and just being evil. We can't trust anyone... Even Jesus didn't trust us because he knew what was in man. He loved us... but he knows what we are capable of. We can love OR cause great harm and EVIL. We are skilled at this. BUT Jesus is just as skilled. He is skilled at loving, giving mercy, and judging. WE can trust that HE WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. He is skilled even more than we are, but for GOOD only.

i havent quite understood how jon foreman can put such power into a song and make it speak to you the way it does. well done.

i think this song is about the fact that, sure there is suffering in our world, but God is sovereign overall, and in the end, He will have the last say and bring suffering to an end. Amen.

I absolutely love how he takes stuff straight outta the Bible and just puts a melody to it. What a brilliant concept!
