There are actually 4 different recorded versions of this song: 1) This original version sung by Richie Furay & John Elefante from the "Portrait of a Spirit" album released in 1991 2) Sung by John Schlitt, John Elefante & Lou Gramm from the "Petra Praise Vol. II - We Need Jesus" album released in 1997 3) Sung by a little girl from the "Songs 4 Life: Kids Make a Difference!" album released in 1999 4) Sung by kids from the "Christian Kidz! Circle of Friends" album released in 2004
WAY COOL! Do you live in Gilbert? That's the only Part of the Valley of The Son I know of where there are basements. Or is that some kind of literary allusion? Thank you for reading this and May GOD Richly Bless You and Yours.
I like this version of the song because of the variety of singers and because the women sing the melody. To me, it sounds beautiful when women sing in this vocal range! I love that!
Excellent song!! We need Jesus!! I wish this song was played over & over...all over the world...ppl need to wake-up in this day & age..."times are changing...things are happening. just saying........
I never saw this back in the day. I never even knew it existed. But it's pretty cool. Petra later covered this song, and included John Elefante and Lou Gramm in the recording.
Dino and John, Really love hearing you, my old friends. This song is so awesome and uplifting! Thank you my brothers! Dan Brooks, from your hometown Lakewood, CA
What a powerful song. How could I forget its existence! I remember hearing it though. Thank you Lord Jesus for giving us good music to replace the secular trash we are fed day in and out.
What a beautiful song!!! Yes! Please keep make song like this and more John Elefente and who ever is ...i just love it. And i was listening 25years ago in Hawaii i bought one of his cd of 1994 or 95, i was listening over and over i loved and of course his voice to go with. God blessed his voice to sing for him! Praise the Lord!
I just lost my beloved Mom, she was my world, please convince me she is in a good place, because I don't believe in God or Jesus, but she sure did. Why do we have to loose those who are so close to us, because I'm not doing so well.
Hi Rich - if your mom believed that Jesus is the son of God, and died for her sins and rose from the dead, not only is she in a better place, she's in paradise in the presence of God. I encourage you to read the book of John in the Bible - it'll probably take you about an hour - it's all you need to know... :^)
SHE IS ALIVE RICH!!...God is Real. HE CREAT US Fo a Purpose JUST BELIEVE cause Jesus is The Way to Eternal Life. and you will see her one Day 😊 God bless from Seattle Wa...MERRY CHRISTMAS RICH.
+Rich Green Rich if your beloved mother believe in Jesus Christ and is in Heaven, how does it do any good to you if you yourself do not believe in Jesus Christ. You will never be able to see it for yourself unless you ask God to become real in your life. Unless you confess your sins and turn to Him to become real in your life. Think about that.
Hey Rich, so sorry for your loss - and even though this was a year ago now, I am praying for you now... Death is so hard because God did not create us to die, but to have life and fellowship in Him... So, when Adam sinned, he brought into the world sin - and death. And if she believed upon Jesus, she is in Heaven - with Him her Lord forever... Now, YOU need to repent of your sins, feel sorry for them, confess them to Jesus and be born again of His blessed Spirit. Become His child - born anew - follow Him through His Word, the Bible - and get plugged into a good Bible teaching (verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter) church, that loves the Lord, loves His people, and loves the lost... Praying for you now.
Great song; great delivery. I spotted a few artists but not many. Richie and John, of course, as well as Tony and David from Guardian (I am very familiar with them; Guardian are epic!!), but a lot of faces are new to me.
A little help here. Most of you will probably remember "We Are The World" from the 80s. But, I vaguely recall a Christian answer to that song. It was a year or so after WATW, it had several mainstream Christian singers from the time. I think Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant etc and it was for Compassion International or a similar organization. Does anyone remember???
Although I like Petra's version and they are my favorite group of all time, I like this version better. Interestingly, John & Dino Elephante produced both versions.
Actually there's another recorded version done by Richie and John live at the Summer Harvest Crusade at Anaheim Stadium in 1992 and released on a Songs of the Harvest cd (out of print). I personally it's also the best version.
+MrDCreegs - ....and the "Au Go Go Singers" the house band of the famous Cafe Au Go Go in New York City. Yeah, that's Richie Furay! Way Cool! In 1983 Furay became Senior Pastor of the Calvary Chapel Broomfield, CO. and has been since. The Vid also features Christine Denté (the Blonde) of Husband/Wife Duo Out of the Grey.
Yes, but the video above is the original. Slight correction, Petra recorded their version of We Need Jesus (which features John Elefante as a guest) for their 1997 album Petra Praise 2. The Power of Praise was a compilation of Petra's more popular praise and worship songs.
@all4Hisgloryalone So there are some people who can live under the gospel message, and love God, but is one who is not elect, and their hearts will never be pricked with conviction that God is calling them to repentance?
Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
Jesus is real I have to go now peace Islam the Moorish holy temple of science does not exist it is other people that do not want Keith s. bey in the temple I love Jesus
The original on “Portrait of a Spirit” led me back to Christ. Long story but God is good!!!
This is the best version/arrangement of this amazing song.
There are actually 4 different recorded versions of this song:
1) This original version sung by Richie Furay & John Elefante from the "Portrait of a Spirit" album released in 1991
2) Sung by John Schlitt, John Elefante & Lou Gramm from the "Petra Praise Vol. II - We Need Jesus" album released in 1997

4) Sung by kids from the "Christian Kidz! Circle of Friends" album released in 2004
ArizonaBasement Scott springer has a version also
It is weird to hear another version besides the Petra one, but it's good!
WAY COOL! Do you live in Gilbert? That's the only Part of the Valley of The Son I know of where there are basements. Or is that some kind of literary allusion? Thank you for reading this and May GOD Richly Bless You and Yours.
@@pamelah6431 Scott Springer of Halo did the FIRST EVER RECORDED VERSION OF THIS SONG ON THE PAKADERM POWER PRAISE ALBUM....
Jesus is so great! I just want to fall to my knees and start pleasing him.
I like this version of the song because of the variety of singers and because the women sing the melody. To me, it sounds beautiful when women sing in this vocal range! I love that!
What a great song. We need Jesus, is a message for now and forever!

Awesome! "We need Jesus"1Peter1:23;2:5-6,9-10.Amen In Jesus Christ Name.

We need Jesus..Amen

Don't forget the version from Rock Power Praise vol. 1, the version before Portrait of a Spirit.
Really nice! There also exists a John & Dino Elefante version on the 'Rock Power Praise Vol. I - The Hymns' CD with Scott Springer (Halo) on the lead.

Pastor of the Calvary Chapel Broomfield, CO. and has been since. The Vid also features Christine Denté (the Blonde) of Husband/Wife Duo Out of the Grey.
Amaziing :-)

Tony Palacios of Guardian right in the center playing guitar! LOL
Yes, but the video above is the original. Slight correction, Petra recorded their version of We Need Jesus (which features John Elefante as a guest) for their 1997 album Petra Praise 2. The Power of Praise was a compilation of Petra's more popular praise and worship songs.
