This song is seriously underrated. It's got a very important message.
I agree
The LORD is calling us back to him
“Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary. And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen, while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.”
(1 Corinthians 12:14-24)
Well 3 years latter and all this stuff in the news proves you right... America needs that which it was founded under.
Jumping Fan This is referring to the Church which is indeed called by Him and belongs to Him. You’re talking about America, a secular country that has long abandoned any semblance of remaining committed to Yahweh’s principles and laws.
I still get goosebumps while listening to this song.
Any 90's kids listening to this in 2024?
Yeah
2022 here. I had my mom by this CD as soon as it came out.
Yeah.. 🤝✌️
almost 2023, and just heard this for the first time. It's beautifull!!
I'm a boomer and listening, playing the cd in my kitchen in the morning
You know this song didn't have that much meaning until I saw my church fall apart. This song is a cautionary tale
It's ashamed that so many churches have special interests and have succumbed to the ways of the world. I can't find the Righteous and Faithful Spirit Jesus in any Church I attend anymore. I have renewed my faith and I think I'll worship in the way the Lord tells me; by reading his/her Scrpture. "Jesus loves me , yes I know (for the Bible tells me so".
It's so sad seeing the city on a hill darkening
This is my favorite song by Casting Crowns...absolutley underrated and beautiful...
For me too!!!
Though we all have a different individual role and function to fulfill, the ultimate purpose is the same. Different joints, ligaments, and muscles but all members of the SAME BODY of CHRIST.
Listening from Uganda 🇺🇬 🇺🇬🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬
2023.
This world needs perfect person
I'm also from Uganda 2024
I'm a pagan, and that is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard.
It makes me weep for America. Thank you for sharing this music.

My friend God loves you.. I command you to repent and believe in the gospel.
This is talking about the unity of the Church which is called by Yahweh, not about America which is a secular country not necessarily called by Yahweh
@@mechadoggy Beating people over the head isn't Jesus' way. Show them the way by being a light, not something overwhelming.
Rachel Propes What? I was just saying the intended interpretation and message of this song. That’s all.
I used to be a pegan but at that time I was in a serious depression, then I became a Christian. Nothing was really different but then one day something just clicked that even if I am not enough for myself and I fail myself Jesus will always pursue me no matter what.
I don't want to run away. I just want to do whats best. Will you pléáse pray for my husband? His heart is palpitating and fibrilating terribly.
Have faith and tell your husband to have faith as well.
How is your husband doing now Helena ?
Hope he is well....
God provide for us
The abrahamic faith as a whole is a form of the city on the hill, the many religions under god constantly turning on each other about the right way to worship him.
I can’t express how blessed I feel listening to this song; it got me thinking of my personal journey as a Christian. Thank you Casting Crown, God bless you all.
So today, I heard Him say.
Come home.
And I think I will listen.
AMEN!!!!
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come Home!!!!!!!!!
All should say yes to him!
And one by one WILL WE run away?
COME HOME!! Come home to Jesus. Except him as your Savoir.
This song has such a powerful meaning.
❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
That was really moving. You see? We ALL need each other to come together and trust in God. Then, the world will know peace.
Coming home from my martial arts lesson today, I had this CD playing in my car and I put this one on. I felt something really strong while singing along to it. It brought me to these recent times to the election. Now that Trump has been elected, I thought about all of the hate I've seen on social media. We're letting "our differences divide" and our country will be weaker than ever before. We need God to bring us back home so we can stand strong together and shine our light again.
(Matthew 12:25) "Knowing their thoughts, he said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself comes to ruin, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand."
Hallelujah so truth 🙏🏻🥺
We need to help ppl out of thd cult. So they can be healed before its to late. Sadly many ran to a man and left God.
this song is meant for the Body of Christ; its meant for us who are the light of the world.Ephesians 5:14 " Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light." May God give you understanding of this scripture.
Yeah this Song Is Very Deep..!
AMEN!!!
As someone who's witnessed multiple churches collapse from so much disunity, this one speaks to me.
Mandalorian Patriot It’s specifically for the Church. Nations may rise and fall, but the Church should endure and has endured through such calamities.
When we let our opinions blot out GOD'S word,,The Spirit can pack up and leave,,then there is no church left. It will fold as a house divided.
The animation beautifully illistrates the point that "City on The Hill" tries to get across. When we beleive that we don't need anyone and have nothing to learn from others it destroys any possibility of the unity God wants us to have.
This song now has meaning to me compared to the first time I heard it. I've seen churches fall apart, and me being 28, I've definitely seen my share of older people thinking the young are foolish as well as the other way around.
This song still applies today in 2020. Thank you Casting Crowns
Thanks.a.hole
Lot.casting.crownes.this.song.is.grate
Only God maker.
Isn't this what we are now? Each one thinks he knows what's better instead of working together, they let their differences divide. They start turning on each other.
I agree that there is a separation between Christian denominations and I am grieved by those who call themselves 'Christian' but do not mirror Christ by their words and actions. I prefer to say that I am a 'Christ Follower'. The difference is that Christ is the centre of my life, that we have a relationship through prayer and his Word. My testimony is freely shared with whoever wants to hear about the change in my life 17 years ago, when I heard from the Lord, repented and gave my heart to him.
Let’s hear it
This is a metaphor for my family. I’ve been listening to it on repeat for 4 weeks now. Beautiful song, so sad.
It's sad and true. " Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden..." Unfortunately our Christian light can fade due to lack of vision, disputes, schisms etc. At this time especially the church needs unity and " to let our light so shine amongst men that they see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven".
This song is a perfect representation of what's going on right now in this time
The world needs us to stand strong together now. Praying we can come together and point them to the Light.❤
Thank god that this story had a happy ending because of Jesus but its such a shame that life doesn't all the time as some of us don't know the joy and love of god AMEN
Amen!!!
God with a capital G. Or just GOD
This song can really help people change their ways
Literary brought tears to my eyes.
I woke up with this song stuck in my head so I had to listen to it. I almost passed on an animated version of it...so glad I did not. Wonderfully done for a fantastic song!
Oh. my. goodness. I really had to fight the tears at the end there.
Very deep song! Most of there songs are!
Lyrics
Did you hear of the city on the hill
Said one old man to the other
It once shined bright, and it would be shining still
But they all started turning on each other
You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak
And one by one, they ran away
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade
In the City on the Hill, the City on the Hill
Each one thought that they knew better
But they were different by design
Instead of standing strong together
They let their differences divide
And one by one, they ran away
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade
In the City on the Hill, the City on the Hill
And the world is searching still
But it was the rhythm of the dancers
That gave the poets life
It was the spirit of the poets
That gave the soldiers strength to fight
It was fire of the young ones
It was the wisdom of the old
It was the story of the poor man
That needed to be told
It is the rhythm of the dancers
That gives the poets life
It is the spirit of the poets
That gives the soldiers strength to fight
It is fire of the young ones
It is the wisdom of the old
It is the story of the poor man
That's needing to be told
One by one will we run away
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the City on the Hill
One by one will we run away
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the City on the Hill
The city on the hill
(Come home)
And the Father's calling still
(Come home)
To the city on the hill
(Come home)
Many thanks, Emilie for the lyrics.
Praise God I watched the church i got saved in fall apart after the pastor died because everyone wanted to fight over who the next pastor should be this song is legit everyone thought they knew what was best and people that didn't get what they wanted left the Chruch the Praise team leader became the pastor and had to make a whole new Praise team personally i don't think any of it was God's will the Chruch isn't the same and everyone has gone there own ways this song breaks my heart that Chruch family was the only family I had for 11 years
I love all the visuals in this clip! good job animators!
I really thank you 🙏 Casting crowns
The song is always Brand new can’t express how blessed I feel listening to this song.
Casting crowns melhor banda do mundo 😍😍😍❤❤❤
Mucho Gusto MI Hermano!
I.L💜VE THIS SONG ‼️✝️🌹🙏💜🇺🇲
@@danamark4159 we love you too and all our American family and friends God Bless You All
Always find myself coming back to this beautiful poetic song. What a story!
I'll accept this song as One of the best and most important song for any generation. my all time favourite and still listening it in 2022.
this song leaves me in tears. It is soooo moving.
Love the artistry of this band and video! Very well done! The last scene is POWERFUL! Come on, Brothers and Sisters! Let's get this right and Love like Jesus!
God's still calling everyone back to the city on the hill. He's calling us to come out of the wilderness of sin.
In the city On the hill this story is so sad they wear Divided By their Differences Instead of imberassing them God Gave them All Differences for a reason Amen
It'd be wonderful if all of the different denominations, including Catholic, orthodox, and protestant, would set aside their petty differences and unite together as the Church, the Body of Christ. That can never happen while continuing our complacent idleness. This COVID-19 fiasco has made it painfully apparent that idleness and complacency can no longer be tolerated.
1 Corinthians 1:10-17
1 Corinthians 3:4-7, 21-23
Love this song! Thank you all the people from Casting Crowns for sharing your talents with us all. I pray God will bless you! I get hope and blessings from listening to your songs.
I love this song
lovey hernandez I love it too and GOD has showed me something related to this
Mount issues God way.
This is just the scenario of life's reality ❤
I'm so much in love with the song
It is the rhythm of the dancers that give the poets light. It is the spirit of the poets that give the soldiers strength to fight. It is the fire of the younger, the wisdom of the old. It is the story of the poor man needing to be told... Does anyone wonder what happened to the rich when they wrote this? I mean they mention them in the beginning, but they never say anything else...
I’ve been a fan of Casting Crowns since their Casting Crowns: Casting Crowns album released in 03.
The moral of this song is that whether we run or stay at the end of the day we are all the same and shouldn’t cast stones on others
Awesome Song 🕊
Very deep message in this song... Spiritually breathed ✊🏽🤍🤎
I think yesterday illustrated this song very well. We've reached a point in America where we're doomed as a country if we don't change. Even if the song wasn't written about that, it can be equally applied. We were founded on the idea of religious and ideological freedom, and we left morals by the wayside.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. We hear that from some of the romantics in this life to explain the absence in our lives. Realizing we're all on a different journey and with prayer and sincere hope that at the end of our private walk, with the help of the others who're walking this same walk, we'll all come together at the "City on the Hill". Pray for one another; without ceasing.
Worried and worn out the other day at mcdonalds a poet confrinted me i was reminded from his words why i was in this town and what i was fighting for this song is very very true listen to it and plz take its words to heart it could change your life and give u hope and meaning in dark times.
I will gladly accept to go to the city on the hill❤
This song has a very strong message.
Great animation and the lyric is very inspiring we all need each other .🤗
I am an agnostic libertarian and I love this song and message.
Exactly what is happening all over the world we are all created equal LOVE each other
Each one thought that they knew better
But there were different by design
Instead of standing strong together
They let their differences divide
One by one, will we run away?
With our made up minds to leave it all behind
As the light begins to fade in the city on a hill?
And the Father is calling still........
Come home.
Darby Dupree he will always wait
Emmanuel T People shouldn't wait to turn to Him tho. Wait! satan's biggest lie.
Darby Dupree yes you are right we have no reason to say no
When he says something we follow Because there is no other way
He is calling us to come home. We shouldn't wait to say yes. waiting to say yes is the biggest mistake you could make because he may come to take us home before you can say yes.
lUVING GOSPEL SONG...SO UPLIFTING
My favorite worship song ever.
an illustration that came from a deep mind. Anointed by God to deliver the inspiring meaning of One Body.
Come home
And the Fathers calling still
Come home
To the city on the hill
Come home.
Great picture of the gifts as explained in 1 Corinthians 12.
Wow just wow love this song
Still probably my favorite song in Christian music of the last 20 years!
Although, people are different with strength and weakness, we're also the same with feelings and needing to each other. All of us live in this City on the Hill.
That... Was... AWESOME!!!
Powerful words and a beautiful melody. God bless you @Casting Crowns for your ministry.
This gives me the message that we all bring something. Great inspiration about banding together instead of dividing apart.
Thank you Lord for every day you are all I need
This is a beautiful song. I saw it one time in a concert of their's and it was amazing.
Luckyyyyy
I love this song , very powerful message, City on a hill "instead of standing together they let their differences divide".
I really love how the rich man does not come back- I mean yeah its really sad, but it just shows us that rich is not a trait but a choice that we chose to become and by doing that we will never really get to know God
All praise to GOD. Thank you Jesus. This song has helped me past the judging sin. Praise be the Lord for using Casting Crowns to help others stop trying to do God's work. That is covered in Genesis. We don't need another Tower of Babel. AMEN. Thank you for making this Video. I use it often when people Judge. I was just doing this not to long ago and we see in others what we were or are or have great knowledge of; mostly we were or are what we see in others. I see the Judge a Mile away because I was the Judge. NO MORE! only God knows. Amen.
A Church of Jesus Christ's Love This song isn’t necessarily talking about not judging each other’s sins. It definitely does talk about not judging each other’s personalities and sub-cultures (like preps, nerds, goths, jocks, artsy people, activists, band geeks, etc.) Unfortunately, we Christians are often not wise enough to carefully distinguish between what’s actually sin vs. everything else. This lack of wise and careful distinction may lead us to judge others for stuff that’s not even sin in the first place.
thats a great way to see this song!!!
When I first heard this song I didn't really hear past the music and the beat. Then when I listened to the lyrics I was like "wow this a sad song -not just because of the words but because it happens everyday and we do nothing about it"
One of my favorite song
This is perhaps the most beautiful video I've ever seen.
wonderful song with a strong message :D
Love it
A big thank you and shout out to the fine men and women who police our communities especially ours . Much Love to those who balance the scales of justice every day at our courthouses. To the hard working folks who farm and drive trucks , manufacturers of the things we take for granted . To all of those , even the salespeople and men and women of faith down to the janitor, you all matter and without a single one of you our world would be a place not worth living. We appreciate all of our American Patriots World Wide and we see how far you've all come and how you've grown into better and more family faith and country oriented individuals. Very , very , very proud of your effort and for the love and support you've given me and our mission. God Bless and Much Love, tune in tonight around midnight bc I'll definitely be here and the mission God places on my soul will continue to go on without interruptions. Much Love ©®😘❤️😘❤️😘 God Bless
Did you hear of the city on the hill
Said one old man to the other
It once shined bright, and it would be shining still
But they all started turning on each other
You see the poets thought the dancers were shallow
And the soldiers thought the poets were weak
And the elders saw the young ones as foolish
And the rich man never heard the poor man speak
I was young when I first heard this song, loved it. But now after experiences, I understand
amen!!!!!! great song....
Oh my God. That was so astonishing!!
Jesus is so wonderful.
Amen
Mormons think indeed that Jesus isn't God, but "just" a son of God. They believe this doctrine: Like we are now, God once was, and like God now is, we once will be. By good works they think to recieve divinity, making them able to create things as well.
This song is about our people that are lost and I’m here to tell you all that I am that poor man. I Am has revealed it to me through the Holy Spirit. Everybody, the city on the hill is beginning to get restored. The kingdom of the Almighty is knocking. We are in the end times. Wake up from your slumber it’s time for war.
Oh this made me tear up
I think this song shows that we all have our differences and if we put those aside we all fit together perfectly and we can make wonderes things if we just work together.
great song
remind us Lord that you put us all here to help and listen to each other
Because of the animation I listened to the words and the story. After a couple dozen plays I still say, Wow! Animation and the message and musically it's for me one of my all time greats. Thanks
Love this song, play it over and over again.
I love the song and animation. People can really learn things from this.
It's only the very last part, the bit at the very end, with the old man with a beard holding his hands out, that I didn't like - it seems to me that it conforms too much to the stereotypical idea people have of God, as being an old man with a beard!....I just loved the video right up to that point!((((
I'm SO GLAD they animated my favorite Casting Crowns song!
❤WOW!!the message POWERFUL..
And one by one, they ran away
With their made up minds to leave it all behind
And the light began to fade
In the city on the hill, the city on the hill
i love this song!!!!
This animation makes the song much more clear. Well done! We need to be good to each other.
