Music video by Michael W. Smith performing Secret Ambition. Facebook- smarturl.it/mwsfacebook Twitter- smarturl.it/mwstwitter Website- smarturl.it/jqi46o (C) 2004 Reunion Records
I first heard the song in 1990 as a 21 year old. It was a fall of Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe where I grew up. This song was played when Billy Graham spoke a Gospel message. It was showing in all cities and venues. Thousands of people came to Jesus. Huge movement! I remember the tears...
I truly love this song. Ya know, my sister was one of the strongest Christian women I ever knew. As you can see, I'm speaking in past tense. God took her home when she was 32 years old. The same age I am right now. She never lost faith that she would be healed by God's grace and she was... just not in the way that we here on earth had wanted. Sometimes God's ambition is different than our own and that's not always easy to reconcile. Praise be to God that his secret ambition allowed for my sister to meet her heavenly Father and live eternity with Him. As she laid in her hospital bed, unable to speak due to the respirator in her mouth, I promised her I would see her again one day. Thanks to Jesus, I will.
I lost my favorite aunt to bone cancer in 1993. Michael W. Smith was one of her favorite Christian artists. When I hear any of his songs, I fondly think of her and her reading me Bible stories when I was a child..I will see her in Heaven someday! Looking forward to it. ❤❤
For God SO LOVED the World, that He gave His ONLY BEGOTTON SON; that whosoever believeth in Him, shall NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE! (John 3: 16) No words can even begin to explain the love Jesus has for us- Who would give his life to save mankind? Death has been defeated!
I was 6 years old when this was released. The first time I ever saw this video and every time after I cried and cried. I knew at 6 what Jesus did and the profound effect it had on me as a small child stayed with me my entire life. I'm 40 now. I haven't seen this video in over 30 years and I sit here still crying watching this video. The amazing sacrifice of Jesus, and the awesome love of God. Brings me to my knees.
I’m 67 now. I use to take my kids, now 45 and 46, to see Amy Grant and Michael was the keyboard player in her band! A few years later, I took them to see Michael W Smith concerts, when he went off on his own! Still listen to and love the way his music stirs my spirit! God bless ❤️🙏
You're not alone, Amy. I'm 52 now, and I cry when I hear this song. This is also my first time to see the video, as I didn't have access to it at age 17. In fact, my first time hearing "Secret Ambition" was in 2003, at age 32!
I remember long ago, one sunday morning, sitting in our congregation after having played in our church orchestra, ready for our Pastor to start his message, and finding out I was sitting behind Michael W. Smith, with Billy Sprague, and after the service was over talking to them both! I was also a musician, talking to these two Gospel music Greats! What a Sunday! Thank Our GOD for they're ministry! ❤✝️
When my brother was 12 yrs old he had to have a brain tumor removed from the middle of his brain. This song played over and over as we prayed for his healing. He was never supposed to walk or talk again. 6 months after surgery he was completely normal and now has a beautiful family and finished his 10th triathlon!!!! GOD'S GRACE IS AMAZING!
Thank you for your love and support which has brought me this far, it's has been a hard time for me but you supports has got me standing even in difficult times, I can't appreciate enough, the support of fans who have prayed for me, I welcome you to my TH-cam channel. Write me on hangout or email. michaelwhitakersmith.us@gmail.com
Here is a truth. For those who are called. We are soldiers of Christ Jesus!! We must defend the weak, lost, forsaken, persecuted at whatever the cost! So, you better count the cost. For them.
The Greatest Man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
I was saved at 14 years old during altar call while this video was being played at a concert put on by a local band. Praise God for working on my heart that night
This was the first christian music video i ever saw. Through it I came to the understanding of what Jesus went through. It caused me to start searching for God,. through it I came to believe in God and except Jesus as my savior a few years later. I have been a christian now for almost 30 years, and I am eternal grateful to Micheal w Smith for this song and video. to this day I still show it to others. Thank you Micheal, Can't wait to meet you in heaven.
In my opinion, the greatest Christian music video ever produced. It's not even close. Spoke to me in high school the first time I saw it. And still to this day. Your vision was palpable and heartfelt. And no one has touched it since. Plays today just as powerfully as it did the first time I saw it. Almost 30 years ago. I've been a video editor for 15 years now. And this video, is one of the major reasons why. It inspired me. It still inspires me to this day. Hopefully at some point I can put together something as meaningful as this has been for millions, maybe even billions of people. But count me in as one of them.
Who else watchd this as a kid in youth group in the 90s And walked away from God for a long time but came back in their 30s, lost my two best friends and long term partner and alone for 8 years after dedicating my life to Christ, but when god takes away gives so much more, Testimony, My first love was widowed 2 years ago and we’re getting married in October, This song reminds me of so much the reason for being, love this song! Makes me tear up every time
This song really touched me when I was a teenager in the 90’s. Made my faith in God stronger. I can see what my Lord and Savior did for me. Also had a crush on Michael at that time lol. I wish they can remake this song.
Never forget you see all these comments never forget looked at the generation that all of you Christian rock artist inspired this many people remember that all the people that like your music are pretty much inspired by it I am one of those people I play guitar because I love music I played before because I love to get through a child and you set the example and set the word
My dad is in the hospital, in ICU, with covid pneomonia. I pray and I have faith that the same Jesus who walked on earth yesterday, and who healed the sick, is the same Jesus today, and I have faith that Jesus will heal my dad!🙏❤ Thanks to my dad, years ago, he introduced me to this beautiful Michael W. Smith song and video!❤
I was 8yrs old the first time I saw this music video at my best friends house. I remember I burst into tears when they were beating Jesus. Never forgot it! Thank you Michael.....Been saved 24yrs now!
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song...I was 10 years old and attending a church camp. It moved me so much that I cried and dedicated my life to Jesus. Although it was a long time later until I was baptized and fully dedicated myself to his teachings. This song was what started me on my path to God. Although I deviated from it and left him for a bit, he never left me.
Church camp is the best! I don't have an experience with this particular song there but a particular experience I had once one year (I went every year from 5-15 years old) is what makes me be able to believe in God without question. I had a lot of good experiences there but this one takes the cake. Pastor was right in the middle of her sermon. We were just sitting there listening, nothing intense was happening and out of nowhere we felt it like a warm wind, the spirit moved right through that room and covered us. We were all completely bewildered, wondering if we all just felt that, we all are looking around at each other amazed. It was confirmed what we felt when the pastor immediately stopped preaching, said the spirit is here and we're going to do alter call and have the worship team come back and sing. We proceeded to glorify his name late into the night. Praise be to God, hallelujah! We were drunk in the spirit when church finally ended. Nothing will ever compare to that feeling again. Sometimes I wish it was a little more achievable to feel the spirit move like that at every church service but unfortunately if there are too many hearts closed off to his love, then it just doesn't happen. Sorry for my long comment.
There was so many in Hollywood who was inspiring like Michael W. Smith is but now Hollywood is a total waste of our time & money. Michael has always encouraged love, compassion, happiness, & being there for our fellow American citizens & children...even our soldiers!!!!! This man will always inspire me!!!!!

Thank you Jesus for everything you’ve done for me, but especially saving me for eternity!!!! I love you Lord! Soon you’re coming to take us home!!!! Praise God for giving us Jesus our savior and Lord!!!! ❤️
when I saw this video it was the first time I ever saw a point of view about the life of jesus. it played a big part in finding my salvation. IT makes me cry everytime I see a cruxifixion scene
Jesus did come to earth and completely rocked the boat. He was a very scandalous person. But that's exactly what the earth needed; someone to challenge the way things were. Thank God he wasn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers!
I love you I say as I lay sobing my head off John 3 :16 I know you have heard it before but I'm gonna say it again if I have the strength I'm just in awe for God so loved the world that he gave his only son whosoever believes in him shall have eternal life.
Still the BEST song...Gives me a warm feelin like Jesus was wrapping his arms around me, and squeezin...MMMMMM Good! Thats a little southern draw...Lived in Macon Georgia, for 31 years. Praise God, for All his Love, mercy and grace!! He is So good!
A classic that I never grow tired of hearing! Its message is spot on … 2000 years later the world still doesn't understand the central message of the life of Christ … "to give His life away!"
The central message of Christ is that he is God incarnate who died as a living sacrifice for our sins and we are to turn away from our worldly desires and accept Christ along with his Word so that we may have eternal life.
I love this song! Some say He is only a prophet, or a teacher, or a good man. I echo the beloved John: "In the beginning was the Word...and the Word was GOD"! Of the multitude of miracles, His death, burial, and resurrection was the greatest miracle!
No matter how often I've heard this song over the years, every time has the same result .The message is truly a powerful 1. My brother and his wife were 'called home ' 20 years ago .And, I know they are safe in God's grace. Rest in peace .Until we meet again.
Jesus can I say something I love you I know I fail you daily millions times a day but I love you you saved me on april 16 1999 bad things may happen my mental illness gets hard but you keep me in your arms I love you 😍
Are you still backslid? I got saved at 18 backslid after a few yrs.focused on the hypocrisy n got bitter.butJust rededicated my heart back to Jesus a few months ago. I pray you are doing well . Time is short. Remember the parable of the 10 virgin, 5wise and foolish virgins.? The 5 didnt have oil in their lamps and weren't ready for their LORDS return? God bless you. I pray you come back to Jesus and do many things in HIS NAME and tells you "well done thou good and faithful servant."
PLEASEEE ! THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT CRISTIAN PEOPLE NEEDS!!! ENOUGH WITH THOSE SAD WORSHIP SONGS THAT ITS JUST THE SAME LYRIC AND MELODY, ITS SO BORIIIIING! WE NEED THAT KIND OF SOUND AGAIN!! WE NEED MUSIC
This song makes me cry every time I watch it. Jesus was an AMAZING person and didn't deserve to die but he chose to for us. That's the greatest sacrifice anyone can ever make. I love you GOD!!!!
This filled my eyes with tears, it's still so wonderful even after how long it's been since it was first filmed! Praise be to Jesus Christ; the only man who qualified both in purity and willingness to suffer for our salvation!!
Before The Passion of the Christ, this was what I saw when I pictured the crucifiction. Never has a piece of music or video touched my soul. Three decades later, and it still touches me.
Let God be worshiped. This song makes me shed tears as I try to imagine the pain Jesus Christ went through to save us all from the bondage of our sins.
The man playing Pontius Pilate is my Papa, I really love this song and music video. He passed away back in January and I watch this video and it makes me smile to see how he was so many years ago. :)
Thank you o much dear brother and great musician Michael! I heard this song in 1994 for the first time and God has always touched my heart and life while I was listened to this anointing song! God keep blessing you ad your family there! Greetings with the Peace of our beloved Yeshua! Rodrigo from Brazil
This song still inspires me -- no one knew Jesus was giving His life way out of love and mercy for us. That's why it's still a mystery to those who are without Jesus why and how his followers can exhibit such devotion, self-sacrifice and unconditional love despite persecution and problems. But, as these saints will say -- as Mother Teresa often did -- it's not us, it's all Him. We're just letting Him shine through.

I first got serious about Christianity when I was 15 (1995). At the time it was very common for Christian youth to get rid of their "secular" music. So I threw away lots of tapes, and cds... My dad had a stash of late 80's / early 90's Christian music and that was all I had for a couple of years. But I really liked this song back then, and I used to get chills listening to it.
He actually gave his life away by serving others, by being a light unto their world. We all can be a light unto this darkened world. Service is the word for a new time. The the age of Aquarius.
I was five or six the first time I saw this video, and while I'd heard all my life that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, seeing this, what he truly endured for /me/ stuck with me from that day forward.
Still one of the best songs and videos. Just finished watching a video by Dr Michael Hieser entitled "The True Meaning of the Gospel. Great talk. It reminded me of this video. Here lately I have been focusing on the simplicity of it all. Jesus loves me this I know and 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Here in Brazil we christians, loves so much Michel´s songs, but i don´t no why this music is not played or known like other of him. The message of this song is powerfull and vibrance.

I walked away from God for awhile then came back about four years ago!
pray for me
Peace.
Praying for you.
Blessings.
So did I years ago.Peace.Prayers.Romans 8. Keep the faith.
Read Isaiah 30:18. He was always there until you came back. You may feel distant from Him, but He is ready to pick up where he left off.
This is one of my all-time favorite Christian songs. It's so powerful.
1989...35 years now..anyone in 2024????
I first heard the song in 1990 as a 21 year old. It was a fall of Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe where I grew up. This song was played when Billy Graham spoke a Gospel message. It was showing in all cities and venues. Thousands of people came to Jesus. Huge movement! I remember the tears...
I'm a Jewish believer in Yeshua / Jesus. This tells the whole story in one song.
If you walk with God, you will always reach your destination.
I truly love this song. Ya know, my sister was one of the strongest Christian women I ever knew. As you can see, I'm speaking in past tense. God took her home when she was 32 years old.

It is indeed
If I went back in time, and rescued Jesus from the cross, would everyone go to hell?
Still listening in 2024 and still affected by it.
Saved since 1978. This song, ah. Thank you Lord for giving us Michael. 🙏
Lord please forgive me.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Hallelujah!
Here is a truth. For those who are called. We are soldiers of Christ Jesus!! We must defend the weak, lost, forsaken, persecuted at whatever the cost! So, you better count the cost. For them.
God is in control if we just trust in The living God.
It took me my heart surgery to open my eyes and and then from there I decided to accept Christ at age 13.
Jesus, we need you more than ever in this time. Please come back soon and bring true peace to the earth...
The Greatest Man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called Him Master. He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher. He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
CHRIST IS KING!
I was saved at 14 years old during altar call while this video was being played at a concert put on by a local band. Praise God for working on my heart that night
I have been watching "The Chosen". Anyone else? God Bless! Jesus is coming soon!
I'm young girl, but not matter what, I love Christian flashback!!!!
This was the first christian music video i ever saw. Through it I came to the understanding of what Jesus went through.

Have you ever watched or listened to Steve Taylor from the early-mid 80s? He took a more satirical approach but also a very powerful and godly artist.
@phoover76 yes this video still has the Anointing of God all over it! That's why it's so powerful! :-)
Who else watchd this as a kid in youth group in the 90s And walked away from God for a long time but came back in their 30s, lost my two best friends and long term partner and alone for 8 years after dedicating my life to Christ, but when god takes away gives so much more,
Testimony, My first love was widowed 2 years ago and we’re getting married in October,
This song reminds me of so much the reason for being, love this song! Makes me tear up every time
Thanku Jesus Christ for dying for me I’ll live for you
This song really touched me when I was a teenager in the 90’s. Made my faith in God stronger. I can see what my Lord and Savior did for me. Also had a crush on Michael at that time lol. I wish they can remake this song.
Thanks Psalm 34

THEME SONG OF MY LIFE!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤BRASIL 🥰 😍 🥰 😍 🥰 😍
Nobody has said it yet, but my God, Michael W Smith is so hot in this video. Nice arms, great jawline, intense eyes.
Gracias Señor Jesucristo.Nunca encontraré otro como tú.Gracias por tu perfecto ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My dad is in the hospital, in ICU, with covid pneomonia. I pray and I have faith that the same Jesus who walked on earth yesterday, and who healed the sick, is the same Jesus today, and I have faith that Jesus will heal my dad!🙏❤ Thanks to my dad, years ago, he introduced me to this beautiful Michael W. Smith song and video!❤
I was 8yrs old the first time I saw this music video at my best friends house. I remember I burst into tears when they were beating Jesus. Never forgot it! Thank you Michael.....Been saved 24yrs now!
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song...I was 10 years old and attending a church camp. It moved me so much that I cried and dedicated my life to Jesus. Although it was a long time later until I was baptized and fully dedicated myself to his teachings. This song was what started me on my path to God. Although I deviated from it and left him for a bit, he never left me.
Same!! Church Camp!
And God will forever keep you with Him in Jesus name.
Same with me I was listening to this song when I was in Church Camp when I was 12 Years old and it changed my life
Church camp is the best! I don't have an experience with this particular song there but a particular experience I had once one year (I went every year from 5-15 years old) is what makes me be able to believe in God without question. I had a lot of good experiences there but this one takes the cake. Pastor was right in the middle of her sermon. We were just sitting there listening, nothing intense was happening and out of nowhere we felt it like a warm wind, the spirit moved right through that room and covered us. We were all completely bewildered, wondering if we all just felt that, we all are looking around at each other amazed. It was confirmed what we felt when the pastor immediately stopped preaching, said the spirit is here and we're going to do alter call and have the worship team come back and sing. We proceeded to glorify his name late into the night. Praise be to God, hallelujah! We were drunk in the spirit when church finally ended. Nothing will ever compare to that feeling again. Sometimes I wish it was a little more achievable to feel the spirit move like that at every church service but unfortunately if there are too many hearts closed off to his love, then it just doesn't happen. Sorry for my long comment.
Church camp here too!! Here it is 2023 and still digging it!
On this Valentine’s Day I am grateful for the love that Jesus gave 2021 and this song still has so much meaning.
There was so many in Hollywood who was inspiring like Michael W. Smith is but now Hollywood is a total waste of our time & money. Michael has always encouraged love, compassion, happiness, & being there for our fellow American citizens & children...even our soldiers!!!!! This man will always inspire me!!!!!
That little blond girl in the video is soooo sweet looking - where Jesus is walking on Palm Sunday....

My favorite song back then when I was only 11 years old. Now I'm 42 years old and still love this song. Love you God!!!!
Thank you Jesus for everything you’ve done for me, but especially saving me for eternity!!!! I love you Lord! Soon you’re coming to take us home!!!! Praise God for giving us Jesus our savior and Lord!!!! ❤️
I love jesus
still gives me goosebumps even after all these yrs!! Who's with me in 2023?!...love love this song, one of the best Christian rock music!
Here is 2023. Micheal Smith music has blessed me time and time again
when I saw this video it was the first time I ever saw a point of view about the life of jesus. it played a big part in finding my salvation. IT makes me cry everytime I see a cruxifixion scene
I used to listen to this song on cassette tape back in the 1990s, when I was just a little kid. It's so powerful.
My former foster brother had this a song set as his morning wake up alarm in 2009/2010.
I still remember it.
Jesus did come to earth and completely rocked the boat. He was a very scandalous person. But that's exactly what the earth needed; someone to challenge the way things were. Thank God he wasn't afraid to ruffle a few feathers!
Such a powerful song still, after all these years ❤
He's such an anointed artist and I've been a fan from early on
This was the last video I saw before the Lord took hold of me on Dec. 10th 1995. Thank You God. I love You.
Thank you, Lord!!!
Amen
God is great! Blessed be His name!
Nate this video was instrumental in bringing me to a personal relationship with my Savior in January 1997.
Lord bless brother Micheal
I love you I say as I lay sobing my head off John 3 :16 I know you have heard it before but I'm gonna say it again if I have the strength I'm just in awe for God so loved the world that he gave his only son whosoever believes in him shall have eternal life.
I am a Christian and have been for many years. It still brings me to tears what Jesus did for us by suffering and dying for our sins on the cross.
Still the BEST song...Gives me a warm feelin like Jesus was wrapping his arms around me, and squeezin...MMMMMM Good! Thats a little southern draw...Lived in Macon Georgia, for 31 years. Praise God, for All his Love, mercy and grace!! He is So good!
A classic that I never grow tired of hearing! Its message is spot on … 2000 years later the world still doesn't understand the central message of the life of Christ … "to give His life away!"
All of Micheal W. Smiths songs are great.
😊he is gaer and I love 💗 w song 🎶
The central message of Christ is that he is God incarnate who died as a living sacrifice for our sins and we are to turn away from our worldly desires and accept Christ along with his Word so that we may have eternal life.
❤
Although I am an atheist now, I have to say that this is good music.
I love this song! Some say He is only a prophet, or a teacher, or a good man. I echo the beloved John: "In the beginning was the Word...and the Word was GOD"! Of the multitude of miracles, His death, burial, and resurrection was the greatest miracle!
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the holy veil away
Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
That part of the e song is very Powerful!!! Amen
But nobody knew his Secret Ambition
Was to give his life away
The message and simplicity is why I love this song so much!
No matter how often I've heard this song over the years, every time has the same result .The message is truly a powerful 1. My brother and his wife were 'called home ' 20 years ago .And, I know they are safe in God's grace. Rest in peace .Until we meet again.
Jesus can I say something I love you I know I fail you daily millions times a day but I love you you saved me on april 16 1999 bad things may happen my mental illness gets hard but you keep me in your arms I love you 😍
Who's crying while watching and listening to this song of Michael W Smith this 2021? 😭😭😭
That ending with the guitar and percussions......simply sick !
I love this makes me cry everytime I'm so close to Jesus now been saved 19 years but I backslid
Are you still backslid?
I got saved at 18 backslid after a few yrs.focused on the hypocrisy n got bitter.butJust rededicated my heart back to Jesus a few months ago.
I pray you are doing well . Time is short. Remember the parable of the 10 virgin, 5wise and foolish virgins.? The 5 didnt have oil in their lamps and weren't ready for their LORDS return?
God bless you. I pray you come back to Jesus and do many things in HIS NAME and tells you "well done thou good and faithful servant."
God is Love, and He loves you even still.
My daughter just sent us the link to this song. Wow, brings back memories. Still a great song.
this is a good song for all Christians.
Hallelujah, Glory be to God! He is risen!!!
Amém!
May God bless you and your family!
My buddy just showed me this it is so awesome! Jesus is the MAN!
PLEASEEE ! THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT CRISTIAN PEOPLE NEEDS!!! ENOUGH WITH THOSE SAD WORSHIP SONGS THAT ITS JUST THE SAME LYRIC AND MELODY, ITS SO BORIIIIING! WE NEED THAT KIND OF SOUND AGAIN!! WE NEED MUSIC
This song made me cry. Thank you for your sacrifice Jesus. I praise your holy name.
This song makes me cry every time I watch it. Jesus was an AMAZING person and didn't deserve to die but he chose to for us. That's the greatest sacrifice anyone can ever make. I love you GOD!!!!
+Angel Eyes I agree! Wholeheartedly! But it should be Jesus IS an AMAZING person, not was.
Oooooops!!!! Your totally right!! Thanks!
Absolutely, Angel. No problem. I just want the world to know, via you, the proper context in which to refer to Our Lord and Saviour. :)
+Angel Eyes Of course He didn't deserve to die; that was why he was the only Person who could do what needed to be done. :-)
He died for US and only us
This filled my eyes with tears, it's still so wonderful even after how long it's been since it was first filmed! Praise be to Jesus Christ; the only man who qualified both in purity and willingness to suffer for our salvation!!
amen well said and i lvoe oyur profile anme and pics!!! He is risen!
Before The Passion of the Christ, this was what I saw when I pictured the crucifiction. Never has a piece of music or video touched my soul. Three decades later, and it still touches me.
Let God be worshiped. This song makes me shed tears as I try to imagine the pain Jesus Christ went through to save us all from the bondage of our sins.
The man playing Pontius Pilate is my Papa, I really love this song and music video. He passed away back in January and I watch this video and it makes me smile to see how he was so many years ago. :)
he was devote man of god was he
Was this reenactment of Jesus' story made just for this video, or is it part of an actual movie?
Malchusgenerosa cool man. I lost my birth father years ago before I could re connect with him. love the song/video. sorry for your loss.
Malchusgenerosa cool :)
It was actually part of the Passion play in Eureka Springs Arkansas back in the day lol.
Thank you o much dear brother and great musician Michael! I heard this song in 1994 for the first time and God has always touched my heart and life while I was listened to this anointing song! God keep blessing you ad your family there! Greetings with the Peace of our beloved Yeshua! Rodrigo from Brazil
Wow! Still watching this powerful video in 2023! Thank you Michal W. Smith for pointing people to the Risen Christ!
This song still inspires me -- no one knew Jesus was giving His life way out of love and mercy for us. That's why it's still a mystery to those who are without Jesus why and how his followers can exhibit such devotion, self-sacrifice and unconditional love despite persecution and problems. But, as these saints will say -- as Mother Teresa often did -- it's not us, it's all Him. We're just letting Him shine through.
This song has been blessing me for the past almost 30 years. God bless you, Michael W.!
This video was the main vehicle to get me saved. Thank you for God using you Michael
The holy spirit led my brother to show me this video for the first time two years ago and 2019 jesus saved me!

Who’s here and still gets emotional with this song/video in 2019 ❤️
Me
Me too!
Again nov 17 th 2019. I’m praying I become fixed in my desire to make Gods name glorious...
Nobody like the King of the 12 tribes.... HE LOVES US
Christie - Yep!
I first got serious about Christianity when I was 15 (1995). At the time it was very common for Christian youth to get rid of their "secular" music. So I threw away lots of tapes, and cds... My dad had a stash of late 80's / early 90's Christian music and that was all I had for a couple of years. But I really liked this song back then, and I used to get chills listening to it.
He actually gave his life away by serving others, by being a light unto their world.
We all can be a light unto this darkened world.
Service is the word for a new time.
The the age of Aquarius.
The hair and the clothes may not have aged well, but the words, the music, the message have.
So powerful I cry
I was five or six the first time I saw this video, and while I'd heard all my life that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, seeing this, what he truly endured for /me/ stuck with me from that day forward.
Still one of the best songs and videos. Just finished watching a video by Dr Michael Hieser entitled "The True Meaning of the Gospel. Great talk. It reminded me of this video. Here lately I have been focusing on the simplicity of it all. Jesus loves me this I know and 2 Corinthians 5:21.
2020 still listening...Jesus tore the veil away, thank you Jesus...this world needs you so much...Jesus is at the very gates
2021, still love this song! The more I read the scriptures the more I understood what it was saying
God loves you more. His love is endless. Psalm34
Here in Brazil we christians, loves so much Michel´s songs, but i don´t no why this music is not played or known like other of him. The message of this song is powerfull and vibrance.
My 15 yr old says this is a bop 😊
