Go Tell John - The Petersens (LIVE)

- "Go Tell John" talks about one of my favorite stories from the Bible. John the Baptist, Jesus's cousin and the one that baptized him and prepared the way, has a moment of doubt when he is in prison.
Matthew 11:2-5 "Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, 'Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?' And Jesus answered them, 'Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them'."
As soon as John's followers left, Jesus turned back to the crowd he was teaching and complimented John. He wasn't nervous or offended about his doubts. I love this because I am reminded that I can always go to Jesus about anything and He welcomes the questions. Jesus was not acting the way John the Baptist thought he would. So many times I am in a situation and I cannot understand why my friend is sick, why children are suffering, why some wicked people are rewarded with wealth and easy lives, and why is God not smiting this person who so blatantly wronged me. In my tiny little brain, God is not acting the way I think He should. This story reminds me that God is exactly who He says He is. He's the payment for my sin and He came to this earth to rescue me and rescue you.
~Ellen

►LYRICS - Go Tell John
John sat in a prison cell alone
Thinking about the life that he had chose
Was it just for nothin' that he would give his life?
Then Jesus sent the answer before he was to die
Go tell John, I am God's only son
Go tell John, I am the payment for the damage sin has done
Go tell John, he is the reason I have come
Go tell John, hurry, go tell John
As wicked people plotted out his death
Questions came at Satan's old request
As the tempter made him doubt our blessed Lord
Jesus sent the answers to what he battled for
Go tell John, I am God's only son
Go tell John, I am the payment for the damage sin has done
Go tell John, he is the reason I have come
Go tell John, hurry, go tell John
Oh, go tell John, I am God's only son
Go tell John, I am the payment for the damage sin has done
Go tell John, he is the reason I have come
Go tell John, hurry, go tell John
Hurry, go tell John [x3]

Thanks Liz
As always, we Thank You, so much!!
Love having the lyrics.
Thank you so much Liz.
Is it 'answers' or 'answer'? I think I hear Ellen sing 'answer' but here and in the captions it says 'answers'. The lyrics in the description give 'answer' in the first verse and 'answers' in the second.
@@FrankvdMuijsenberg Ah I had to do this one purely from ear, and Ellen corrected the description. I've updated the other places now
I have recently started my walk w Christ and i am just devouring these songs like a big ol piece of cake ❤❤❤❤
Same here. God bless you
@@alisonbarker5148 Welcome
I'd like to add just one more comment. In my heart I honestly believe Christ our Lord and Saviour
was Smiling and lightly tapping his foot to this !
I am standing, I am clapping, and I am yelling bravo !!! .... And my neighbors are banging on the wall telling me to shut up !!
Keep Doing What Your Doing ... Because What You Are Doing Is Magical !!!
If this were the 70's, the Petersens would have their own show on prime time television.
Or acting in a movie just for them!
Heck yeh,, they need something like this on tv today. I would watch.
Yes...just like the Donny & Marie Show (The Osmonds)!
Nothing like some ELLEN POWER and smokin' gospel to start the Labor Day weekend Thank you all so much. There is NO ONE like the Petersens
I love the Petersen's. They make me happy.
Emmett is just flat out one heck of a picker.
The combined vocals on this one was beautiful.
Everyone did a great job.
God bless you all and take care. 😎👍👌
What I absolutely love about you Peterson's and Emmett is the fact that any one of you can take the lead but with you it's all about the music and the message. You're just as great when you're in the background and someone else is in the lead you still play your heart out smile and rejoice in the music in the message and that my friend is world-class. That is the Petersons band.
Well, they are not unique in that, as it's what all good bands do. But yeah, they are very talented and humble. 🍻
Not a believer myself but I can appreciate great music and the amazing talent of this family.
Praying for your eyes to be opened to the Truth. God bless🙏🏼✝️💯
@@Psalm1188 No thanks. I'll pass.
thank you for my voiced thoughts, it's enough to put a like
Praying and hoping you will realize we can’t live life without our savior Jesus Christ. Having a relationship with him is something we need and it’s wonderful! It’s not hard just talk to him. He’s always ready! Always listening!🙂
@@jessicatompkins535 I seem to be doing just fine. You don't know me so perhaps you should save your advice for your fellow zealots.
Love Emmett's smokin' solo on this tune. Short but great. And it's great to see him on backup vocals - blends right in. Just as if he spent his young life doing the same with another family.....
What family? I thought they picked him up like a Hobo and put him to work.
@@jason5174 The Franz Family. When his siblings started having families of their own, Emmett toured with other artists, then he came across The Petersens when he was looking for something closer to home. Emmett's dad, Randy, now runs lights and sound for the Branson shows too
@@jason5174 , the best humor freq gets unidentified _!!!_
"Go tell John..." The Word of God....thanks be to God !!
Intense! All I had to see was the look on Katie’s face during her solo to see how much emotional energy you all are pouring into this song. Thank you so much Petersens, pour it on!! 😋
I got a Myrtle cause of you guys - thank you! I told that to Philip too :) Thumbs up 👍👍👍
Nice! For your normal videos, or do you play too?
Emmett went full-on Delta Blues with that solo!
One of the best vocal performances from The Petersens.
The Lord has blessed me in many ways. You all are one. In Christian love.
Love this one! The solos, the smoky gospel singing and just overall fab performance! Nothing like a good bit of Petersens gospel music 🎶
I'm amazed that Emmett can sing in such a high register to harmonize with Katie and Ellen. Well done!
My first time seeing/hearing this one, and, of course, like all the others...AWESOME!!!
Gospel that absolutely rocks the house!! Thank you Petersens
This is a really great up beat inspiring, but scripturally accurate song. Love the harmonies with Ellen, Karen and Emmitt, would love to see more of that combination! As always, wonderful job!
Great Job Petersens. Emmett you rock man.
3 minutes 41 seconds well spent! I. LIKED 👍 it !!!
What a beautiful retelling of the story of Jesus' affirmation of his call. Brilliantly played and sung. Amen
Perfect harmony 😊 but most importantly the story is the best! So thank that God knows all and that we are sojourners on this earth. Glad for the promises God has made for after this life! Best wishes to you all!
Steve and Monica
Ellen’s voice is just WOW! Such volume and range!
Whoa!! That was good! Katie and Ellen sound so good together on that one!! The singing was great and the music was just plain awesome! I can’t choose which brake was my favorite! Oh! And Julianne! Love the braids!You’re hair is adorable like that! So cute!
OMG, Ellin's voice! The fiddle and dobro! One of their very best songs!
Emmett is one of the best I have ever heard......what a great job by all of you !!!!
What a wonderful treat! Everyone did so well. I love that Ellen always seems to push us towards Jesus. You go, girl!!
I agree, except that she's not pushing, more inviting.
@@FrankvdMuijsenberg Right Frank! 👍👍
Thank you so much for including these beautiful Gospel songs in your repertoire!!! That definitely made my day!
Love you folks! Come to Myrtle Beach!
Rock & Roll Bluegrass. Yes, the Petersens own this genre.
Wow, Ellen a nice timbre and vocals in beautiful tuning. Outstanding dobro and tuneful violin solo. I´ve a very nice impression of all artists, thank.
Outstanding. There is more than one way to worship, just as there is more than one way to show devotion or love for humanity. Nowhere is it written that expressing ones faith can't be entertaining and these guys are such a great example of that. The entertainment The Petersens provide is a nurturing, and a gift for the ear as much as the soul. Such a treat when a surprise gift from this talented bunch pops up. Thanks again all of you.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. --.
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
This family is true blue - - - you just cannot fake it till you make it where faith is concerned .
TU!
Listened to the song, then read the scripture, very well done. Ellen you do excellent work, thanks for bringing this one to the group.
Great thing about this band is that not only they harmonized musically but visually of course.. which gives us a marvelous moving photographs.. ellen voice is one of those i would like to listen to over and over.. Petersens' harmony is heaven i'm pleased to say.. Guys you unknowingly gravitating me towards Christ again by your songs.. after leaving him years ago.
That would be the most wonderful tribute you could provide. Hope you make it to a church this weekend. Doubts are human.
Christ wants to welcome you back!🙂 maybe he’s using the Petersen’s to let you know he hasn’t given up on you and he’s always one prayer one step away! Just talk to him! He wants to be a part of and help with whatever is going on in your life!
What a tight arrangement! All the family in perfect instrumental and vocal sync. Beautiful trio of voices, fabulous fiddle and dobro riffs, rock solid banjo, guitar, mandolin and bass accompaniments. And most importantly, an uplifting Christian lyric to go with it. Thank you Petersens and Emmet.
Beautiful, Beautiful Family! Wish I had been searching TH-cam for music sooner, the real talent is hidden, the real stars never get a chance to be famous!
Beautifully srranged and I loved that bass, Mama!
Katie knocked it out of the park again. Damn she's good on that fiddle
Holy freaking smokes! That was so good, I would say that was a Grammy winner right there!
Woohoo! Fabulous start to an Aussie Saturday morning. Thanks guys♥️
This video is my nomination for If You Only See The Petersens Do One Song See This One...
That voice! That dobro! That violin!
The vocal harmonies with Ellen, Katie and Emmett were KILLER! Perfect song for your group. Loved it and the ending with Mom in the barn was funny.
First time we’ve seen Emmet sing background. Well done!
Here it is 4 weeks after I first heard this song and it just keeps getting better and better. Ellen, thanks for your testimony about this song. I pray for you guys every day.
Such an amazing family. God Bless. 💐🤗
That steel guitar player is GOOD!
Not a believer but your voices are so wonderful! Thank you all so much for sharing them with us ... OMG that growl!
Two Channels that I absolutely NEVER MISS a video of - The Petersens and Foxes & Fossils. Different sounds and types of music, but both brilliant.
You all are so astounding. Seriously. This one really has some punch.
Awesome, amazing--you are ALL so talented and adorable!!
I am just blessed by the joy and love you all express!! Thanks Petersens!!
Will be coming to see you in Branson!
Hugs from Idaho,!
one of the best performances so far
Had the blues watching the news, until your little tune lifted my spirits. Love the ending with Momma Peterson. ❤️
"Had the blues watching the news" sounds like a great start to a song, friend!
This is an awesome song! Praise Jesus!
Excellent work on musically conveying HIS message . Well done crew .
Thanks, ya'll for providing us all a much needed uplifting message -- Definitely puts a smile on ones face!!!
Mom wood shedding, no wonder she holds the group tight 😎👍🏻After listening about 4 or 5 more times I have to commend Matthew & Julianne for a solid accompaniment to the others as well!! 3 shining stars surrounded by 3 more shining stars!!
Indeed, without foundation there is no music.
Great performance by all! That dobro solo was sweet!
Haven't seen Kate and Ellen so animated in a video for a long time. Amazing music. Really great harmonies. Brilliant picking. What an arrangement, and yes, precious treasures are best locked away after use, until the next time of their calling..
Speaking Truth can be considered a miracle in this day and age
Whooohe !!!! love it, thank you very much family Petersens, greetings from The Netherlands
Absolutely brilliant! Incredible harmonies and vitality. Great audio mixing and video. And thanks most of all for explaining the song; it's such a valuable lesson for all Christians around the world but particularly the persecuted ones.
Wow, love that tight harmony!
So amazing, it's music like this that gets you motivated, outstanding performance
Your harmonies never cease to amaze me.
Beautifully done. Your harmony was flawless to be. Just love you guys.
God bless all here.
What a lovely song that brings hope and Christ’s love to weary souls as our world teeters on hopelessness and bewilderment for many in these challenging times. Mama Petersen cheers me much today with her sweet smiles even as she brings out the bass as firm and faithfully as ever.
Good Christian Family ! 😊 I'm muslim who lives in Turkey. I listen your songs for years. Continue to live kind people, keep your faith. See you in Heaven, Petersens! I love you all. Take care! Rock on! 😊 Greetings from Turkey! 😊🌹👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹
Love your greetings, friend. Did you know that they believe in Jesus Christ, who is the long-awaited Messiah, and the Son of God?
Had to watch this twice in a row for Emmett's dobro solo. Just on fire. Great musicianship by everyone else too. I'm not religious at all, yet religion has created some of the best music I like playing and listening to.
And that bit at 2:24! I had to slow it down to catch what he was even doing
Ellen ‘s voice is so amazing as every one in the family
Richly blest to receive your gifts to us. Thankful to our amazing Daddy for all the time and energy you all invest to bring such a polished finished product. Honored to call you my sisters and brothers!
The Petersons is a very dazzling and amazing country music group
Ah thank you everyone! Keep cheering up America, love from the old country 🇬🇧👍
Lovely. Talented. Refreshing.
Great performance of all as always. Ellen's voice is a true power of nature. Katie's violin and Emmet's dobro are increasingly stellar. Very nice is the Christian message that Ellen expresses in the description. I did not know this gospel song at all, I tried to look for the original on TH-cam but it seems that it does not exist. From today, therefore, "the original" can be considered this one of The Petersens! 👍
@@jamesanderson3111 I agree with you. I am not an expert in scripture. I usually make considerations regarding their music, whether it's gospel, country or pop/rock. But, this time I decided to highlight Ellen's message as well because I felt it was truly profound and Christian. Above all because she talks about what human weaknesses are and how true believers must overcome them through their faith.
This is the level! Thank God!
Love your music ! All my love from Australia 💕
The natural musicality of this group is beyond compare!
Loved the Song and the story behind this song.😊😊
Love it! The vocals are blended so well and Emmett's picking is such a pleasure to hear and watch. Outstanding song with a great message we need to be reminded of these days. He is the one!
From the Carolinas to Colorado the Petersens rock it. I love this family band.
Great performance of all as always 👍❤️
Thank you for the song, my beloved Americans. From Russia with love.
This Video ist great. The music is mega good and also the message. Greetings from Germany. God bless you!
I totally live for the extra little thing at the end of their live videos! 😂 Well done, Petersens! That was a really great song and y'all played it beautifully!
Great harmony. Always enjoy listening to your music. Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
Fantastic job as always! You guys are beyond amazing!
Beautiful as usual of course. But to me the best part of this one is Ellen's description of the video. Spot on.
Wherever John is now...his foot is tappin' to that one!! Absolutely superb!

They are not only great musicians, they make miracles.
That cracked me up!
I think there was some problem with TH-cam .... 😂
Just the best. Thank you guys so much for how you faithfully use your gifts! You bless so many of us!
Great blend of voices! A trio that works well and delivers the good news message home!
This song and the group are a blessing, and you never know what you'll find in a barn.
And the Angels sang 🙏❤
Outstanding! Thank you all and especially to Katie
Amazing talent! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
