Daddy Was A Preacher - Mama Was His Wife - I was reunited with them on my Papa's 68th birthday 1995, by God's grace. Before he became a preacher - Mama and Papa gave me up for adoption. Long story short - I was blessed by Yah to know them until they passed. Mama went Home 7/3/2017 on my daughter's 16th birthday - my son went Home 4 months later - and Papa went Home 7 months later. The rain fell - The flood started rising - The storm came - I was washed by the water - The earth crumbled under my feet - My entire "adopted" family abandoned me on my darkest days - and crucified me . . . even until today. Christ has held me through it all. I could write a book and blow some minds, nuff said. Grab hold of Christ today, it costs you nothing, yet His GIFT is more than anything you could imagine. John 3:16 - John 14:6 Maranatha
I don't consider myself a very religious man, but these guys have really made me rethink any consideration of faith. To have such devotion to your faith to write such beautiful lyrics and music, really gets the heart and mind to think about such true devotion and how it can effect people. They are one of the many groups that has the ability to sing a song that speaks to the core, the heart, the mind. Thank you for the inspiration...you never know who you can touch with music. Much love guys! D.
His voice is a gift from God. No need for altered voice like some singers. Live is just as good if not better. You can tell he loves and feels the song by his facial expressions. Words can't describe how much this band has lifted me up in faith through their music
This is an artist who loves what he is doing and it shows in his voice, face and just the energy around him. Man, how can you not get excited hearing this song.
thank you Lord for blessing this man with this voice thank you sir for using your talent to worship God! I heard this for the first time on the christian station and just fell in love. this song helps me through such hard times! God bless you!!!!
This is my get your head straight song, i listen to it everyday, multiple times. Especially when i am at a lost or clueless moment! Its amazing!!!!! My father passed but i know one thing he sure never failed!!
Every time I hear these guys I am blown away. I had the privilege to see them live not that long ago, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. Very powerful band.
I absolutely love these guys and this song! I've seen them 4 times since the end of August! Once you see them live, you have to keep going to see them every chance you get!
faith is something everyone has even if they don't know it, you may call it God, Allah, energy, mistery, supreme being, fate, love. whatever you call it, that's faith. it's hope that there's more than just what we see and touch.
Needtobreathe has been my Favorite band since the first time I heard them. If you are not familiar, you need to check out all of their albums. There are so many hits. Outstanding & Unique!!!!!!
Hey! Thanks for all the thumbs and positive comments everyone. An update: I recently got married to a wonderful woman that came back into my life after 7 years gone. She has helped me renew my faith and find God as I understand him. Together we have started on a journey that will surely last the rest of our lives... walking beside each other with Him at our side. What a blessing I have been given. I pray that others like me will find their own path to walk with Him. Thanks for the love... D.
I GET IT NOW!!!! and it only took me a year lol. "I am washed by the water" means that you are washed by the water in baptism... You're always a part of God's kingdom "even when the rain falls, even when the flood starts rising, even when the storm calls". I feel like a genius now.
When i listened to this at school, somebody calls it christian music. Personaly, i'm not a religious person. But i just everybody to don't care about their background, just the incredible talent :D
These guys are so powerful. I was in a bad spot in my life the first time I heard them and it was God speaking through them. Lay em Down is my anthem. I can always play that song when I am feeling bad. God bless them and the people who are touched by them.
Ive been listening to this song for about the past year on and off and every time I watch this acoustic version....GOOSEBUMPS.. you got some serious soul NEEDTOBREATHE....serious soul!!
Praise the good Lord!!! Thank you NEEDTOBREATHE for using your voices to 'shine light' and do God's work! Feeling truly blessed by this song more than y'all can ever know.💕
Awesome!! I me speechless, I enjoyed every second of this wonderful song. Im a musician myself, and the style and voice is just right on! Good song, Guys!! Keep up the good works and May God lay hands over you and your families and continue creating music with the talent he gave us all. Amen!! God Bless!! A fan, Kurt Lovato
