if you are not christian, than stop listening, the song is true though, god is the greatest gift ever, and his grace WILL change you. But is you decide to not that advantage of that, suit yourself.. But in the mean time stop containing about Carrie being faithful, and strong in her religion. If you have a problem... stop listening! Carrie does not deserve this, she is a great artist, and earned all of her fame. GROW UP!!!
I battled a long time with whether I was saved or lost. March 2nd 2014 I gave in to God, joined the church, and was baptized. My life has never been better since it is free from fear and doubt. Church is more meaningful as is my life. Thank God Almighty, I saw the Light of his Son Jesus Christ. Thank you Carrie for such a beautiful song.
I am only 15 years old. And I am a Christian. But lately I have been angry at God. My mother was diagnosed with cancer and my life turned upside down. My friends forgot about me and I didn't feel God with me anymore. I was depressed, lonely, and scared. I work with children's ministry at my church and I would get on stage and sing songs about God's faithfulness, pretending to believe it. But truth is, I NEVER believed it. I thought God had abandoned me. I lived a lie all summer. But then I heard this song. I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't believe it. But still I listened to it over and over until one day I realized that I have been angry at God. I fell on my knees just as she said and I begged God to come back. Then I heard a voce in my head saying "I have never left you". My mom is still dealing with cancer treatment. My friends still aren't always there for me. But now, I know he hasn't left me. This is my story. This is who I am. I hope that this has helped you. Weather Christian, Atheist, or some other belief system. This should help you understand that there is a God that will never leave you in your loneliness or depression. And he loves you with all his heart.
I'm not a religious person,and I respect Carrie's faith.I was raised not to judge others,and have respect for authority. I simply love this song,not because of the lyrics,but because Carrie has a voice I could listen to forever.
I am a Christian and I love this song! I am glad Carrie had the faith and courage to do this song! If you are an atheist...well God bless you ALWAYS....you may not believe in him but he believe's in you!
I think she is a great artist who knows the true meaning about life and truly loves God and is not ashamed to show it in her music. I say it's good to see people who are not ashamed to stand up for what they believe in, because Jesus says if you are ashamed of me before men I will be ashamed of you before my Father. It's a person choice who they want to serve and say good job young lady I'm proud of your stand.
Why does a good song have to become a religious debate? Carrie has the right to put any song on any album she chooses. It is her career. This song is beautiful, as is the faith that it represents. Atheists have the right to only believe in what they can see and touch just as Christians have the right to believe in something beyond what they can see. This is America guys. Its a song.
Because various Christian-circles made up the rumor that atheists were hating on this song... which isn't true. www.snopes.com/music/artists/underwood.asp
You know what Carrie has an instrument that sets her apart from the rest. It's not only the tone of her voice but she stands apart from the rest of many talented ladies Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift. She carries herself like an "old soul" even as young as she is. I love Faith and Shania but Carrie rises above these ladies in so many capacities. Her live shows are totally incredible - a voice that never ends, and a cute dokie sense of humor and a passion with her instrument and talent. Truly an artist who knows who she really is and if your blessed to see her live, you'll agree.
Carrie needs to let go and just make a Christian album already!!! :) when I here her sing music like this I can't even imagine how awesome a full length album would be.... My wife and I saw her in concert a couple years ago she is definitely the real deal what an awesome role model for young people.....
BY EMMA KOONSE, CHRISTIAN POST REPORTER June 11, 2012|4:54 pm Country music star Carrie Underwood has spoken up about her support of same-sex marriage in a recent interview. As June marks Gay Pride month, several celebrities are voicing their beliefs. Traditionally conservative, Underwood surprised many with her support for same-sex unions. The singer explained that her standpoint on the controversial issue came about following her own marriage. "As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry," the 28-year-old Oklahoma native told The Independent. "I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love." Underwood emphasized that her church's belief in gay marriage influenced her significantly. "Our church is gay friendly," the 2005 "American Idol" winner said, revealing that hers is one of many churches that adopt the divisive stance.
P. Kelly T Yeah, in fact let's hope she not only makes a Christian album but gets out of Country music. I don't want no mention of gawd in my Country music.. because it's makes me mad as hell! ;) lol.
Why would atheists be angry about this, and not every gospel song ever written? No atheist I know would bother getting angry about a song about someone's personal faith. In fact, this is *exactly* the sort of thing I personally would love people of faith to do more of: worry about your own beliefs, talk about them all you want, and don't try to force others to conform. She's singing a pretty song about how her faith has helped her through tough times. I see nothing wrong with that, until she starts telling anyone else that they need to pray to her god.
2 Timothy 1: 8, "So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God." Carrie, it is so amazing to see your face shining through more and more in your music as of late. You took my breath away with "How Great Thou Art" and I am positive encouraged so many around the world to seek God's face and find comfort and salvation in His sweet, loving, caring and comforting arms. You've done it again with this masterpiece!
She's using the gift God gave her for His glory! When we use our talents to glorify God, the anointing comes out.. and yeah! WOW! She's amazingly good!
Trea Smith Yeah she has to be, I love the way she can hit high notes. So envious of Mike Fisher for being married to such an amazing woman. I would give up all my prized possessions to be married to Carrie Underwood in a heartbeat.
I Love this song! So great to see a woman of faith in the industry who is not ashamed of the gospel! I hate to see people fight about their own differences and beliefs when this young lady is so secure in hers.. You either like the song, the artist, and or the message... Or you dont! I am not a not a fan of organized religion. My faith stems from a personal relationship with Christ just as hers does...... You cannot have conviction without action.... and you cannot have either if you dont burst to voice it! Beautiful song!
I'd like to share that I am a Christian and I do love this song, and I know that Carrie is a Christian as well. As the comments about homosexuality I'd like to say that I do not hate homosexuals. That is not what my faith teaches. We as Christians are to love everyone regardless of their lifestyle or personal decsions, because we have not right to cast judgement, that is not our job. Nor is right for us to tell you that you are going to hell, we are supposed to teach love and hope, and to witnesses to Christ's love. So if you happen to be gay and reading this I'd like to apologize on behalf of the Christians who made you feel hated. I'd like you to know that I love you and so does God.
I am so thankful that someone has the courage in this day to stand for their belief in God. Thank you. What a blessing it has been to me because as a teenager there was "Something in the Water" for me and I stand today at 62 still CHANGED.
Hey guys, I'm so emotional right now because I can truly relate to this song. It seems like this song was made for only me. Yes 3 months ago, I met a guy from American and he told about The Lord and Jesus. At first first I ignored but day after that, my life changed drastically. Since I started believing in Jesus, too many great changes occurred in my life. "Ever since the day that I believed I am changed". :)))
Finally an artist releases a single and gets attention not for shaking their ass, not for swearing and acting like a fool, not for saying the n word every other line (I don't even like country music) its just refreshing to hear a ballad that isn't about sex drugs
Even though I am not a big country music fan, I love Carrie since her American Idol days. I have bought all her albums and I think most of her songs are on my ipod. Her songs are inspirational and heartfelt. Although I have not seen her in concert, I would love to one day. I look forward to listen to new music at least she has not sold out like some other so called country artist she stays true to herself and I respect that
One thing I have to express. I'm not a man of "faith" Ive struggled with my beliefs because of events in my life and circumstances that make me question. But with that said Carrie Underwood has certainly helped open my eyes to the absolute goodness that power may have. She is my inspiration, my idol and if angels the way we perceive them are real she is one of them. She seems pure and an absolute blessing. She sends a great message with the music she sings. Her voice is incredible and undeniable and she brings happiness to my life. I cry, I laugh, I feel confident. She made a difference in me. Thank you Carrie for giving us hope and grace.
Jacque brewer I've seen a few posts on Facebook trashing her new song. It upsets me. I can see people getting on Miley or Justin for their music and actions, but not this women. Thank you for you comment. My beliefs have been shaken due to my sexuality and they way I was treated because of it, I was in an out of homelessness unable to hold a job. My family torn apart. Carrie is someone I look up to. She speaks truth, she's kind, she sings about real life. Why of all people are they attacking her? She's makes a difference in everyone's life whether they choose to allow it or with just one song. That's how it started for me I heard just one song and it was a live performance and I was captivated. Her elegance, her voice, the way she sang with feeling and you could feel her almost. Everyone has their opinion and the one they look up to but as far as Carrie is concerned there is no greater role model, no greater energy, and no greater singer. We've had greats in the past but I feel privileged to be able to witness this great human being in my lifetime.
***** Someone once told me I lose nothing by believing and gain everything, but could gain nothing and lose everything by not. I'm not sure if the guilt your referring to is my sexuality and that I do not feel guilty for. My opinion of the Bible is that its man made thru what man interpreted. I find people use it to their advantage and take certain parts out to justify their actions. The purpose of my comment was that I just needed to express what Carrie helps me with. Different for everyone.
***** Yes I am homosexual. I grew up in a church environment. Was baptized, and part of the church community. Didn't make a difference in what I am. And my father had a hard time with me coming out threw the Bible at me and said I was damned. Now 15 years later he's got an entirely different view on it and our relationship is strong. But I've struggled with faith not just for that reason.
That was the point of my original comment. I don't believe anymore not sense I was young. Events in my life made me question if there was a god. Carrie sings a lot about Jesus and god in her music and I listen. For someone who doesn't believe to me would say she makes a great impact on people. She helps me thru and is showing me there just could be a " God " but the point of the comment isn't about me it was more to show my frustrations on how ignorant people are trying to tear a person such as herself down. She's amazing in more ways than just her voice.
Best one yet!!!! Wow this needs to be #1 on Country, Christian, and Pop charts so every one can hear the words and feel them in their hearts! Great stuff Carrie keep up the Faith!
She's done it again! She's delivered music that I can feel and relate to. Kudos to Carrie Underwood and to everyone on her team who helped create this lovely song! I love everything about this songs and I hear how she's evolved as a vocalist/musician/artist. 5 out of 5 stars! This is what I call good, solid, beautiful, QUALITY music! She has true talent and I can't wait to purchase her Greatest Hits: Decade # 1 album in December 2014!
I am by no means a country music fan. BUT I JUST LOVE CARRIE UNDERWOOD! Her music and lyrics are so inspirational! I am almost in tears listening to her new song. I LOVE YOU CARRIE. You are the best!
LenaSattelite1 Lena if you are talking about your getting baptize what a wonderful thing its a life changing experience Joining the family of The Lord you will have family all over this earth to lean on to be prayer worriers that will hold you in their prayers no matter what. Also to feel Christ in your life is like no other feeling God Bless you
Love how they did the Raindrops on it. I love this song, no matter if i'm religious or not. It's a song made by a beautiful person so everyone needs to stop fighting about stupid shit. Just enjoy the song.
What a powerful song this is! It moved me to tears. Carrie's voice is getting better all the time! Her conviction about her faith is something to truly admire. You either have faith or you don't. You believe in an Almighty Creator or you don't . It is very personal and no one's business to judge. Carrie, sing your glorious faith filled heart to its content. You had me at your AI audition! Hugs.
Her first single is a gospel song that talks about letting Jesus take over you life. Now it's been 10 years, she's starting a new chapter and again she's released a new single about faith. Definitely this won't be the last. It's just amazing how her life testifies Matthew 6:33. Such a great artist, and a role model.
Carrie: I believe the Holy Spirit is guiding you to what you should do. Sing your heart out for Jesus. Come on girl do not resiost the calling . You are ready lets go you can do this. We Love you God Bless you John 3:16 N&K
I know some people have been critizing this song but I support it 100%. This song has brought me closer to God. In different ways every time I listen to it.
Whenever you don't understand what's happening in your life, just close your eyes, take a deep breath and say, "God I know it is your plan, just help me through it." Amen.💕!
Something strange going on. A lot of critics say artists hide their faith behind their music. And critics turn around and bash Carrie for putting her faith out in the open. Well, which way do you want it.
My mom and I were babtized this evening and I thought it would be a good idea to show her this song because I felt it explained our situation perfectly, we both agreed we should play it on our way to the church. Unsurprisingly we both forgot until we were listing to the radio and it was the second song that came on. If that isn't God's doing than I have no idea what is! :) it's amazing how true this song really is!
Praise be to God Almighty for singers like miss Underwood and all those who stand up to hollywood and gladly sing his praises because through his son Jesus we are saved.
I like Carrie but that's not how it works. Its not even number one on iTunes. A song has to get radio play and downloads ect to be at number one. I do think it will end up at number one very soon though.
re: Hating on Carrie. Uh, we don't. I usually wouldn't presume to speak for all non-believers, but since I can't find a single reference to any atheist expressing any outrage at all over this song, indeed, nothing at all except surprise at hearing how outraged we all are by it, I think it's safe for me to say none of us cares.
Wow This song was literally amazing. It takes guts to make a Christian song in this industry and she did it and Amazingly. The words blessed me. God is here even when he seems not to be. I believe that!
I am not a country music fan, I enjoy Christian music very much. This song really touched my heart in a big way! Love,love,love! Carrie, God bless you and your family!!!
That moment when you judge a song based off the title, and think the song is gonna be about drinking...and then it turns out to be about baptism and putting your faith in God. Love this song!!! Carrie proves that you don't have to be labeled a Christian artist to put out Christian music!
I don't understand why people are offended by this song it's about faith and God whats wrong with that ? don't believe in God don't listen to it . yet some rappers sing about killing , shooting ,raping ,using the N word and no one bats an eye , I really hope you don't feel the same when its time to leave this world .
I'm shocked this isn't atleast 7 million by now especially reading all the positive feedback in the comments. Everyday I listen to this is everyday I feel energized and blessed. Let's get the momentum going here.
Great song,my new favorite song. When I hear this song,it reminds me of when I first became a Christian. I was lost but now I am found,because He found me.
Jesus has saved us through His Blood, it was all done at the Cross, and praise the Lord that we are saved through Him. Romans 10:9 tells us that if "We confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead then we shall be saved." love you dearly, Annie
I bought the song right when it became available on itunes and have listened to it about 800 million times!!! i love it soo so much, its so inspirational, beautiful, and ah! and i just love that it is about faith
Im glad to see someone with famous credit taking a stand for The Lord. It takes courage. Big 2 thumbs up for Carrie for recording a wonderful song like this for a world so lost and bitter
I say Go Carrie! Spread the Gospel any way you want. You have the perfect venue to spread the Hope, Love & Grace Jesus gives. I support you! If some don't like it, they don't have to listen! Thank you for standing up for what you believe in!
I absolutely love this song because I'm Christian but even if I wasn't a believer I would still love it because she is an AMAZING singer and there are still elements anyone can relate to. Let's all just appreciate an inspiring musician.
Carrie's vocal range never ceases to amaze me, and I love that she's not ashamed to speak or sing about God. We need so much more of this, in a world that's rapidly going to hell.
He said, "I've been where you've been before. Down every hallway's a slamming door." No way out, no one to come and save me Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me Then somebody said what I'm saying to you Opened my eyes and told me the truth." They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better." So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed And now I'm stronger There must've been something in the water Oh, there must've been something in the water Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way Didn't think about it for a couple of days Then it hit me like a lightning late one night I was all out of hope and all out of fight Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me." Felt love pouring down from above Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm changed And now I'm stronger There must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water And now I'm singing along to amazing grace Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face Got joy in my heart, angels on my side Thank God almighty, I saw the light Gonna look ahead, no turning back Live every day, give it all that I have Trust in someone bigger than me Ever since the day that I believed I am changed And now I'm stronger There must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, there must be something in the water Oh, yeah I am changed Stronger I'm free
I LOVE this song i think Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice. i do go to church and my brother just got baptized. I hope you all decide that this is a beautiful song and go to church.!!!! GREAT JOB CARRIE I LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC BUT THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY 2 FAVORITES ALONG WITH BLOWN AWAY... love you Carrie
Here is my take on what there is to argue about: It seems that some people think that the way to market this song is to claim that it makes atheists angry, and that atheists have been attacking her and telling her to keep her faith to herself. I find no evidence of her being attacked by atheists at all. It just seems like a cynical exploitation of the negative stereotypes of atheism. It seems that claiming that you made atheists mad can make you very popular. The song doesn't make me mad. Exploiting the dislike of atheists to sell records makes me mad.
No disrespect to you personally but all the atheists that I know are always mad. It is a pretty song and touches a lot of people. That in itself is selling it. I just like the song...if you don't like the song...why are you on here trying to convince others there is something wrong with it???
Who said I didn't like the song? I don't care about the song. What I don't like is that a bunch of websites are promoting the song by exploiting people's dislike of atheists. Websites like the one my cousin posted on facebook, and like all the other ones I found when I tried to find any *actual* negative reaction to the *song or singer* by atheists (didn't find any).
Stacy Wall For whatever reason, this is the how a lot of places are framing the song. conservativetribune.com/this-famous-music-star-has-a-new-song-out-atheists-are-going-to-hate-it-listen-here/ mrconservative.com/2014/10/50465-atheists-outraged-by-carrie-underwoods-latest-song/
"why are you on here trying to convince others there is something wrong with it???" I've said absolutely nothing negative about the song. It's ONLY the people who are spreading it by claiming that atheists don't like it.
God Bless you Carrie Underwood! Thank you for fighting for the word! Being a witness to the healing & life that comes from the Grace of God. Thank you for showing the world that God is alive and WELL and he shines through us NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT DENIES THE FACT! May God continue to reign most high! And prayers that you make MANY MORE songs praising OUR loving God!
Awesome song...not just a country tune...serious message for anyone listening and needing a change! Can only say-anointed for His purpose....beautiful!
This song is so amazing!! She's not afraid to sing about her religion and I praise her for that. She sings what she believes in. She ha the voice of an angel. I love Carrie so much!!!
you know it talent when you are not the worlds religious person and her voice, talent and passion can make me a believer. Truly an amazing song and I LOVE how she is expanded her Faith into her music in a modern way instead of a preachy way. LOVE THIS.
The thing is, atheists aren't mad about this song. All I see are articles saying atheists are misguided. The whole point of this country is freedom of religion and freedom from religion, but it seems like atheists get shunned every time.
Nothing guaranteed freedom FROM religion, we are simply guaranteed freedom OF religion, a person is allowed to practice or not practice any religion they so choose without the fear of persecution. People are not guaranteed the right to not have to see or hear things that offend them because of their personal beliefs. I agree that all I seem to see are articles about Atheists being mad about this song, and haven't really seen too much opposition from Atheists...
That's funny because Atheists cry about every faith related thing in public and fight to have it removed. Not many people are more religious than atheists.
JCojocaru you're confusing publicly funded places with private enterprise. Atheists only want the influence of religion removed from the everyday public, they could care less about what someone sings about You don't have a clue as to what Atheists think or believe.
Dedmen, he specifically said faith related things in public, relax. The original poster, you're not guaranteed freedom from religion. That's insane and contradicts your own point. Everyone is free to say and do what they want. That's the whole point.
nailatiylluf freedom of religion, belief and speech is exempt from government persecution but you can't do and say what you want. There are many exceptions but that had nothing to do with what i was talking about. As an example, a church can be seen to the public but atheists aren't asking for it to be torn down, they do not want their tax dollars going towards the church.
I'm from Mexico City. I LOVE Carrie's songs. This song is excellent, in Carrie's "mood". She is one of my top 3 international singers. Excellent job Carrie! 😉😘
Great testimony of what God can do when you accept Jesus Christ. Thanks Carrie for singing about the awesome change that cat only happen when you have a relationship with JESUS.
A true masterpiece Carrie!! Thank YOU so much for sharing this and your faith with the world! Get ready for a 19th #1 single girl!! #TeamCarrie is so proud! :)
This is beautiful. Every time I hear it, it brings tears of humbleness and happiness to my eyes; as I remember the days of my baptism and feelings I felt. I also another time in my life--a time of being lost, caught up in a world of collage parties, drinking, and prescription drugs. Until one night, in the midst of my sorrows (knowing it was not right and that there must be more to life) I dropped to my knees and wept and asked our Father in Heaven for forgiveness. I remember bathing in the bathtub and wishing I could be washed in the blood of our Savior Jesus Christ, that my sins may be forgiven. Ever since that day my life has been better. My prayers have in answered. Some answers may not come in the time that wanted, but they came in the Lord's time. God is real, he saved my life. Jesus Christ is our eternal brother who loves us and wants what is best for us. The Holy Ghost/Spirit is there to guide us towards the light of righteousness. Love. Pray. Have the small amount of faith (the size of a grain of mustard seed) and live your life in goodness.
You go Carrie! You've got such a beautiful voice, and using it to sing about Christ is AMAZING. Being washed in the Blood Of Christ DOES change you! Wow, I love this song.
I have to post this because of all the comments ... Christians vs Atheists...This is ridiculous already. THIS IS ONLY TO ATHEISTS THAT ARE OFFENDED OF THIS SONG......DON'T LISTEN OR BUY THIS CD!!! To all Atheists that are not offended, KUDOS TO YOU!! I commend you for saying you're not offended. That is the way it should be. The 1st Amendment is to keep us FREE FROM THE GOVERNMENT MAKING US A ONE RELIGION COUNTRY!!! It gives us the right to be whatever religion you believe in or not, even the religion of Atheism. .... Christians & Church....Going to church don't make you a Christian. Just like going into a garage don't make you a car. Most Christians attend church, but just because some don't doesn't mean they can't have a relationship with God. AS FOR CARRIE NOT GOING TO CHURCH....HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DOES OR DOESN'T DO???? Remember, you are a true Christian....you shouldn't judge people if you don't want God to judge you....Luke 6:37 ESV...“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; Homosexuality .... Again, true Christians are not to judge anyone. Whether a person is gay or not, we are to love one another as you love yourself. Mark 12:31 NIV The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." Matthew 7:1-5 ESV “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. As for this song..... I'm so happy Carrie wrote this song and is not ashamed to share her faith. The song is beautiful and uplifting. There are many great singers that came for American Idol that didn't win, but Carrie is an amazing singer and the best one that won American Idol. May God continue to bless you in all you do. Keep Jesus in your heart Carrie, living a Godly life. Keep writing music, sharing Jesus and your faith.
I'm atheist, I don't like this song. I'm not mad, I'm not offending anyone, I just don't like the song, for obvious reasons. The End. And that's how most of us take this song, not insulting, not replying to comments insulting us (for no reason), or spreading hate.
What I'm wondering is why bother commenting? Your comment doesn't have any significance, and is unrelated to the video. Don't get me wrong, I as well am Atheist, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate spiritual or religious symbols. For example, I am Atheist but I idolize the new pope, he shows great morals and is genuinely attempting to spread compassion for everyone, not just Christians and that's a great message. Also, you should definitely avoid religious and spiritual discussion because Atheism is in the minority of all religions, currently. I"m not hating on you, I appreciate your religious choice and understand you must have clear reasons for choosing this.
if you are not christian, than stop listening, the song is true though, god is the greatest gift ever, and his grace WILL change you. But is you decide to not that advantage of that, suit yourself.. But in the mean time stop containing about Carrie being faithful, and strong in her religion. If you have a problem... stop listening! Carrie does not deserve this, she is a great artist, and earned all of her fame. GROW UP!!!
I battled a long time with whether I was saved or lost. March 2nd 2014 I gave in to God, joined the church, and was baptized. My life has never been better since it is free from fear and doubt. Church is more meaningful as is my life. Thank God Almighty, I saw the Light of his Son Jesus Christ. Thank you Carrie for such a beautiful song.
I am only 15 years old. And I am a Christian. But lately I have been angry at God. My mother was diagnosed with cancer and my life turned upside down. My friends forgot about me and I didn't feel God with me anymore. I was depressed, lonely, and scared. I work with children's ministry at my church and I would get on stage and sing songs about God's faithfulness, pretending to believe it. But truth is, I NEVER believed it. I thought God had abandoned me. I lived a lie all summer. But then I heard this song. I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't believe it. But still I listened to it over and over until one day I realized that I have been angry at God. I fell on my knees just as she said and I begged God to come back. Then I heard a voce in my head saying "I have never left you". My mom is still dealing with cancer treatment. My friends still aren't always there for me. But now, I know he hasn't left me. This is my story. This is who I am. I hope that this has helped you. Weather Christian, Atheist, or some other belief system. This should help you understand that there is a God that will never leave you in your loneliness or depression. And he loves you with all his heart.
Amen...awesome testimony. ..God bless and be with you...stay strong...praying your mom overcomes cancer
Thank you! :)
God Bless you and continue to give you strength all through your life. Never be afraid to ask him for help! He is truly only a prayer away.
I'm not a religious person,and I respect Carrie's faith.I was raised not to judge others,and have respect for authority.
I simply love this song,not because of the lyrics,but because Carrie has a voice I could listen to forever.
I am a Christian and I love this song! I am glad Carrie had the faith and courage to do this song! If you are an atheist...well God bless you ALWAYS....you may not believe in him but he believe's in you!
Amen
I think she is a great artist who knows the true meaning about life and truly loves God and is not ashamed to show it in her music. I say it's good to see people who are not ashamed to stand up for what they believe in, because Jesus says if you are ashamed of me before men I will be ashamed of you before my Father. It's a person choice who they want to serve and say good job young lady I'm proud of your stand.
Why does a good song have to become a religious debate? Carrie has the right to put any song on any album she chooses. It is her career. This song is beautiful, as is the faith that it represents. Atheists have the right to only believe in what they can see and touch just as Christians have the right to believe in something beyond what they can see. This is America guys. Its a song.
Because various Christian-circles made up the rumor that atheists were hating on this song... which isn't true. www.snopes.com/music/artists/underwood.asp
God said "Blessed are those who believe and yet have not seen"!
You know what Carrie has an instrument that sets her apart from the rest. It's not only the tone of her voice but she stands apart from the rest of many talented ladies Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift. She carries herself like an "old soul" even as young as she is. I love Faith and Shania but Carrie rises above these ladies in so many capacities. Her live shows are totally incredible - a voice that never ends, and a cute dokie sense of humor and a passion with her instrument and talent. Truly an artist who knows who she really is and if your blessed to see her live, you'll agree.
Carrie needs to let go and just make a Christian album already!!! :) when I here her sing music like this I can't even imagine how awesome a full length album would be.... My wife and I saw her in concert a couple years ago she is definitely the real deal what an awesome role model for young people.....
That would be great!
I would love that! She is anointed!
BY EMMA KOONSE, CHRISTIAN POST REPORTER
June 11, 2012|4:54 pm
Country music star Carrie Underwood has spoken up about her support of same-sex marriage in a recent interview.
As June marks Gay Pride month, several celebrities are voicing their beliefs. Traditionally conservative, Underwood surprised many with her support for same-sex unions. The singer explained that her standpoint on the controversial issue came about following her own marriage.
"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry," the 28-year-old Oklahoma native told The Independent. "I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."
Underwood emphasized that her church's belief in gay marriage influenced her significantly.
"Our church is gay friendly," the 2005 "American Idol" winner said, revealing that hers is one of many churches that adopt the divisive stance.
P. Kelly T Yeah, in fact let's hope she not only makes a Christian album but gets out of Country music. I don't want no mention of gawd in my Country music.. because it's makes me mad as hell! ;) lol.
I soooo agree a Christian album by her would be awsome
Why would this have dislikes? What is wrong with a beautiful and smart woman singing about faith?...
Why would atheists be angry about this, and not every gospel song ever written? No atheist I know would bother getting angry about a song about someone's personal faith. In fact, this is *exactly* the sort of thing I personally would love people of faith to do more of: worry about your own beliefs, talk about them all you want, and don't try to force others to conform.
She's singing a pretty song about how her faith has helped her through tough times. I see nothing wrong with that, until she starts telling anyone else that they need to pray to her god.
well said. I'm an atheist and find this song very beautiful.
Carrie really needs to make a Christian album. Her voice is so powerful, a gift from God
2 Timothy 1: 8, "So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God." Carrie, it is so amazing to see your face shining through more and more in your music as of late. You took my breath away with "How Great Thou Art" and I am positive encouraged so many around the world to seek God's face and find comfort and salvation in His sweet, loving, caring and comforting arms. You've done it again with this masterpiece!
GOD IS GREAT!!! THANK YOU CARRIE UNDERWOOD for being a role model and expressing your FAITH! --a true artist and christian.
There's something very heavenly about Carrie's singing.
I know what u mean, her singing is angelic.
She's using the gift God gave her for His glory! When we use our talents to glorify God, the anointing comes out.. and yeah! WOW! She's amazingly good!
she is not human!! I swear nobody can sing like that! she is an angel.
Trea Smith Yeah she has to be, I love the way she can hit high notes. So envious of Mike Fisher for being married to such an amazing woman. I would give up all my prized possessions to be married to Carrie Underwood in a heartbeat.
Maxx Calin she's to nasal
I Love this song! So great to see a woman of faith in the industry who is not ashamed of the gospel! I hate to see people fight about their own differences and beliefs when this young lady is so secure in hers.. You either like the song, the artist, and or the message... Or you dont! I am not a not a fan of organized religion. My faith stems from a personal relationship with Christ just as hers does...... You cannot have conviction without action.... and you cannot have either if you dont burst to voice it! Beautiful song!
I'd like to share that I am a Christian and I do love this song, and I know that Carrie is a Christian as well. As the comments about homosexuality I'd like to say that I do not hate homosexuals. That is not what my faith teaches. We as Christians are to love everyone regardless of their lifestyle or personal decsions, because we have not right to cast judgement, that is not our job. Nor is right for us to tell you that you are going to hell, we are supposed to teach love and hope, and to witnesses to Christ's love. So if you happen to be gay and reading this I'd like to apologize on behalf of the Christians who made you feel hated. I'd like you to know that I love you and so does God.
I have read these comments and yours resonated with me more than all others...thanks for your reply. I feel 100% as you do.
I've also been going through comments and this one is my favorite. Amen 🙌
This song couldn't have been released at a more perfect time. I was just baptized yesterday and this song describes how I feel perfectly. LOVE!
I am so thankful that someone has the courage in this day to stand for their belief in God. Thank you. What a blessing it has been to me because as a teenager there was "Something in the Water" for me and I stand today at 62 still CHANGED.
This song is about exactly what happened to me, when I finally found God trusting in Him sets you free and I am charged and I am strong and happy.
Hey guys, I'm so emotional right now because I can truly relate to this song. It seems like this song was made for only me. Yes 3 months ago, I met a guy from American and he told about The Lord and Jesus. At first first I ignored but day after that, my life changed drastically. Since I started believing in Jesus, too many great changes occurred in my life. "Ever since the day that I believed I am changed". :)))
This single was released on the DAY of my baptism that my life changed completely
Finally an artist releases a single and gets attention not for shaking their ass, not for swearing and acting like a fool, not for saying the n word every other line (I don't even like country music) its just refreshing to hear a ballad that isn't about sex drugs
Carrie done an absolutely beautiful job with this song. I know most of you won't get it but it makes me so very homesick for 918.
Even though I am not a big country music fan, I love Carrie since her American Idol days. I have bought all her albums and I think most of her songs are on my ipod. Her songs are inspirational and heartfelt. Although I have not seen her in concert, I would love to one day. I look forward to listen to new music at least she has not sold out like some other so called country artist she stays true to herself and I respect that
Ive seen her live, she's incredible! Definitely put it on your bucket list :)
That is so deep thats right :) AMEN :)
wow! what a powerful song! even people who don't like country music will love this song! the message behind the song is bigger than the song itself!
One thing I have to express. I'm not a man of "faith" Ive struggled with my beliefs because of events in my life and circumstances that make me question. But with that said Carrie Underwood has certainly helped open my eyes to the absolute goodness that power may have. She is my inspiration, my idol and if angels the way we perceive them are real she is one of them. She seems pure and an absolute blessing. She sends a great message with the music she sings. Her voice is incredible and undeniable and she brings happiness to my life. I cry, I laugh, I feel confident. She made a difference in me. Thank you Carrie for giving us hope and grace.
This is beautiful. God bless you.
Jacque brewer I've seen a few posts on Facebook trashing her new song. It upsets me. I can see people getting on Miley or Justin for their music and actions, but not this women. Thank you for you comment. My beliefs have been shaken due to my sexuality and they way I was treated because of it, I was in an out of homelessness unable to hold a job. My family torn apart. Carrie is someone I look up to. She speaks truth, she's kind, she sings about real life. Why of all people are they attacking her? She's makes a difference in everyone's life whether they choose to allow it or with just one song. That's how it started for me I heard just one song and it was a live performance and I was captivated. Her elegance, her voice, the way she sang with feeling and you could feel her almost. Everyone has their opinion and the one they look up to but as far as Carrie is concerned there is no greater role model, no greater energy, and no greater singer. We've had greats in the past but I feel privileged to be able to witness this great human being in my lifetime.
*****
Someone once told me I lose nothing by believing and gain everything, but could gain nothing and lose everything by not. I'm not sure if the guilt your referring to is my sexuality and that I do not feel guilty for. My opinion of the Bible is that its man made thru what man interpreted. I find people use it to their advantage and take certain parts out to justify their actions. The purpose of my comment was that I just needed to express what Carrie helps me with. Different for everyone.
*****
Yes I am homosexual. I grew up in a church environment. Was baptized, and part of the church community. Didn't make a difference in what I am. And my father had a hard time with me coming out threw the Bible at me and said I was damned. Now 15 years later he's got an entirely different view on it and our relationship is strong. But I've struggled with faith not just for that reason.
That was the point of my original comment. I don't believe anymore not sense I was young. Events in my life made me question if there was a god. Carrie sings a lot about Jesus and god in her music and I listen. For someone who doesn't believe to me would say she makes a great impact on people. She helps me thru and is showing me there just could be a " God " but the point of the comment isn't about me it was more to show my frustrations on how ignorant people are trying to tear a person such as herself down. She's amazing in more ways than just her voice.
Best one yet!!!! Wow this needs to be #1 on Country, Christian, and Pop charts so every one can hear the words and feel them in their hearts! Great stuff Carrie keep up the Faith!
She's done it again! She's delivered music that I can feel and relate to. Kudos to Carrie Underwood and to everyone on her team who helped create this lovely song! I love everything about this songs and I hear how she's evolved as a vocalist/musician/artist. 5 out of 5 stars! This is what I call good, solid, beautiful, QUALITY music! She has true talent and I can't wait to purchase her Greatest Hits: Decade # 1 album in December 2014!
I am by no means a country music fan. BUT I JUST LOVE CARRIE UNDERWOOD! Her music and lyrics are so inspirational! I am almost in tears listening to her new song. I LOVE YOU CARRIE. You are the best!
I could listen to this song all day!
Same this is absolutely amazing.
LenaSattelite1 Lena if you are talking about your getting baptize what a wonderful thing its a life changing experience Joining the family of The Lord you will have family all over this earth to lean on to be prayer worriers that will hold you in their prayers no matter what. Also to feel Christ in your life is like no other feeling God Bless you
I have been. No regrets. It's such a great song.
i DO listen to this song all day! lmao love it!!
Awesome carrie
Love how they did the Raindrops on it. I love this song, no matter if i'm religious or not. It's a song made by a beautiful person so everyone needs to stop fighting about stupid shit. Just enjoy the song.
What a powerful song this is! It moved me to tears. Carrie's voice is getting better all the time! Her conviction about her faith is something to truly admire. You either have faith or you don't. You believe in an Almighty Creator or you don't . It is very personal and no one's business to judge. Carrie, sing your glorious faith filled heart to its content. You had me at your AI audition! Hugs.
Her first single is a gospel song that talks about letting Jesus take over you life. Now it's been 10 years, she's starting a new chapter and again she's released a new single about faith. Definitely this won't be the last. It's just amazing how her life testifies Matthew 6:33. Such a great artist, and a role model.
Carrie: I believe the Holy Spirit is guiding you to what you should do. Sing your heart out for Jesus. Come on girl do not resiost the calling . You are ready lets go you can do this. We Love you God Bless you John 3:16 N&K
I know some people have been critizing this song but I support it 100%. This song has brought me closer to God. In different ways every time I listen to it.
best pure singer out today.. her voice gets better w/ each new record ...if thats possible
It is possible, she's amazing.
I can so agree with u there.
Truth!
Whenever you don't understand what's happening in your life, just close your eyes, take a deep breath and say, "God I know it is your plan, just help me through it." Amen.💕!
Something strange going on. A lot of critics say artists hide their faith behind their music. And critics turn around and bash Carrie for putting her faith out in the open. Well, which way do you want it.
I'm Not Christian But I Still Like This Song! Good Job Carrie!
My mom and I were babtized this evening and I thought it would be a good idea to show her this song because I felt it explained our situation perfectly, we both agreed we should play it on our way to the church. Unsurprisingly we both forgot until we were listing to the radio and it was the second song that came on. If that isn't God's doing than I have no idea what is! :) it's amazing how true this song really is!
Praise be to God Almighty for singers like miss Underwood and all those who stand up to hollywood and gladly sing his praises because through his son Jesus we are saved.
Funny how people hate on Carrie when this song was just released today and its already #1 on the music charts.
I like Carrie but that's not how it works. Its not even number one on iTunes. A song has to get radio play and downloads ect to be at number one. I do think it will end up at number one very soon though.
newsflash: nobody hated her until some conservative fucktard lied about atheists being mad about this
nobody is hating her, its viral advertising
re: Hating on Carrie. Uh, we don't. I usually wouldn't presume to speak for all non-believers, but since I can't find a single reference to any atheist expressing any outrage at all over this song, indeed, nothing at all except surprise at hearing how outraged we all are by it, I think it's safe for me to say none of us cares.
*****
no but some conservative newspapers who happily paint all atheists hateful are fame whores
Wow This song was literally amazing. It takes guts to make a Christian song in this industry and she did it and Amazingly. The words blessed me. God is here even when he seems not to be. I believe that!
I love how carrie puts her faith into her songs
I am not a country music fan, I enjoy Christian music very much. This song really touched my heart in a big way! Love,love,love! Carrie, God bless you and your family!!!
I LOVE IT!
SHE'S THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC,
HER VOICE, HER LOOK, HER ATTITUDE, JUST LOVE HER! :)
That moment when you judge a song based off the title, and think the song is gonna be about drinking...and then it turns out to be about baptism and putting your faith in God. Love this song!!! Carrie proves that you don't have to be labeled a Christian artist to put out Christian music!
I don't understand why people are offended by this song it's about faith and God whats wrong with that ? don't believe in God don't listen to it . yet some rappers sing about killing , shooting ,raping ,using the N word and no one bats an eye , I really hope you don't feel the same when its time to leave this world .
I'm shocked this isn't atleast 7 million by now especially reading all the positive feedback in the comments. Everyday I listen to this is everyday I feel energized and blessed. Let's get the momentum going here.
so happy i'm not the only one who gets the chills from this song! omg, it literally makes me want to tear up.
Great song,my new favorite song. When I hear this song,it reminds me of when I first became a Christian. I was lost but now I am found,because He found me.
Jesus has saved us through His Blood, it was all done at the Cross, and praise the Lord that we are saved through Him. Romans 10:9 tells us that if "We confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and believe in our hearts that God has raised Him from the dead then we shall be saved." love you dearly, Annie
Thank you for being bold and standing up for Jesus Christ!
I bought the song right when it became available on itunes and have listened to it about 800 million times!!! i love it soo so much, its so inspirational, beautiful, and ah! and i just love that it is about faith
Im glad to see someone with famous credit taking a stand for The Lord. It takes courage. Big 2 thumbs up for Carrie for recording a wonderful song like this for a world so lost and bitter
As always, absolutely FLAWLESS. One of the greatest vocalists of all time. Without a doubt.
I say Go Carrie! Spread the Gospel any way you want. You have the perfect venue to spread the Hope, Love & Grace Jesus gives. I support you! If some don't like it, they don't have to listen! Thank you for standing up for what you believe in!
I was blind but now I see...🎶❤️🎶
I absolutely love this song because I'm Christian but even if I wasn't a believer I would still love it because she is an AMAZING singer and there are still elements anyone can relate to. Let's all just appreciate an inspiring musician.
Carrie's vocal range never ceases to amaze me, and I love that she's not ashamed to speak or sing about God. We need so much more of this, in a world that's rapidly going to hell.
Fantastic song, fantastic vocals! No other country female singer comes close to Carrie's vocal ability.
He said, "I've been where you've been before.
Down every hallway's a slamming door."
No way out, no one to come and save me
Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me
Then somebody said what I'm saying to you
Opened my eyes and told me the truth."
They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better."
So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger
There must've been something in the water
Oh, there must've been something in the water
Well, I heard what he said and I went on my way
Didn't think about it for a couple of days
Then it hit me like a lightning late one night
I was all out of hope and all out of fight
Couldn't fight back the tears so I fell on my knees
Saying, "God, if you're there come and rescue me."
Felt love pouring down from above
Got washed in the water, washed in the blood and now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger
There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
And now I'm singing along to amazing grace
Can't nobody wipe this smile off my face
Got joy in my heart, angels on my side
Thank God almighty, I saw the light
Gonna look ahead, no turning back
Live every day, give it all that I have
Trust in someone bigger than me
Ever since the day that I believed I am changed
And now I'm stronger
There must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, there must be something in the water
Oh, yeah
I am changed
Stronger
I'm free
this song deserves an official video
This song couldnt come at a more perfect time! Amazing song and amazing voice on top of it. Thank you Lord and Thank You Carrie
I LOVE this song i think Carrie Underwood has a beautiful voice. i do go to church and my brother just got baptized. I hope you all decide that this is a beautiful song and go to church.!!!! GREAT JOB CARRIE I LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC BUT THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY 2 FAVORITES ALONG WITH BLOWN AWAY... love you Carrie
So sad that people will argue under a video like this. SMH...what is there to argue about? My goodness.
Here is my take on what there is to argue about: It seems that some people think that the way to market this song is to claim that it makes atheists angry, and that atheists have been attacking her and telling her to keep her faith to herself. I find no evidence of her being attacked by atheists at all. It just seems like a cynical exploitation of the negative stereotypes of atheism. It seems that claiming that you made atheists mad can make you very popular.
The song doesn't make me mad. Exploiting the dislike of atheists to sell records makes me mad.
No disrespect to you personally but all the atheists that I know are always mad. It is a pretty song and touches a lot of people. That in itself is selling it. I just like the song...if you don't like the song...why are you on here trying to convince others there is something wrong with it???
Who said I didn't like the song? I don't care about the song. What I don't like is that a bunch of websites are promoting the song by exploiting people's dislike of atheists. Websites like the one my cousin posted on facebook, and like all the other ones I found when I tried to find any *actual* negative reaction to the *song or singer* by atheists (didn't find any).
Stacy Wall For whatever reason, this is the how a lot of places are framing the song.

"why are you on here trying to convince others there is something wrong with it???"
I've said absolutely nothing negative about the song. It's ONLY the people who are spreading it by claiming that atheists don't like it.
HAIL TO THE QUEEN OF COUNTRY MUSIC!
God Bless you Carrie Underwood! Thank you for fighting for the word! Being a witness to the healing & life that comes from the Grace of God. Thank you for showing the world that God is alive and WELL and he shines through us NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT DENIES THE FACT! May God continue to reign most high! And prayers that you make MANY MORE songs praising OUR loving God!
This is beautiful. God gave Carrie Underwood an amazing voice to spread the word of Christ! Love this song and her!
There is something about this song that makes you think about God. Wether you believe he is real or not
I believe
Awesome song...not just a country tune...serious message for anyone listening and needing a change! Can only say-anointed for His purpose....beautiful!
Wow terrific song! Thanks!
This song is so amazing!! She's not afraid to sing about her religion and I praise her for that. She sings what she believes in. She ha the voice of an angel. I love Carrie so much!!!
Carrie, thank you for sharing your talent and your faith. I add my voice to yours
One of the greatest singers of our generation. Over the years her voice, unlike others, has only gotten stronger and incredible
This right here is why I love Carrie Underwood
you know it talent when you are not the worlds religious person and her voice, talent and passion can make me a believer. Truly an amazing song and I LOVE how she is expanded her Faith into her music in a modern way instead of a preachy way. LOVE THIS.
OMG! Can´t wait to hear this song live!!
I agree. Something about watching her sing live with such passion.
This is an amazing song from Carrie! Finally a true heartfelt song about her connection with Christ and how he changed her life!! AMEN!!
The thing is, atheists aren't mad about this song. All I see are articles saying atheists are misguided. The whole point of this country is freedom of religion and freedom from religion, but it seems like atheists get shunned every time.
Nothing guaranteed freedom FROM religion, we are simply guaranteed freedom OF religion, a person is allowed to practice or not practice any religion they so choose without the fear of persecution. People are not guaranteed the right to not have to see or hear things that offend them because of their personal beliefs. I agree that all I seem to see are articles about Atheists being mad about this song, and haven't really seen too much opposition from Atheists...
That's funny because Atheists cry about every faith related thing in public and fight to have it removed. Not many people are more religious than atheists.
JCojocaru you're confusing publicly funded places with private enterprise. Atheists only want the influence of religion removed from the everyday public, they could care less about what someone sings about You don't have a clue as to what Atheists think or believe.
Dedmen, he specifically said faith related things in public, relax. The original poster, you're not guaranteed freedom from religion. That's insane and contradicts your own point. Everyone is free to say and do what they want. That's the whole point.
nailatiylluf freedom of religion, belief and speech is exempt from government persecution but you can't do and say what you want. There are many exceptions but that had nothing to do with what i was talking about. As an example, a church can be seen to the public but atheists aren't asking for it to be torn down, they do not want their tax dollars going towards the church.
I am not a fan of country music but this is a good song... Much respect to Carrie Underwood... God Bless...
I'm from Mexico City. I LOVE Carrie's songs. This song is excellent, in Carrie's "mood". She is one of my top 3 international singers. Excellent job Carrie! 😉😘
Great testimony of what God can do when you accept Jesus Christ. Thanks Carrie for singing about the awesome change that cat only happen when you have a relationship with JESUS.
A true masterpiece Carrie!! Thank YOU so much for sharing this and your faith with the world! Get ready for a 19th #1 single girl!! #TeamCarrie is so proud! :)
BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!! :D it's an amazing thing to hear a celebrity praising God instead of sin. :)
This #song is all about #God that #changed her #life #somethinginthewater a #beautiful #amazing #country #Christian #song i love it so much
This is beautiful. Every time I hear it, it brings tears of humbleness and happiness to my eyes; as I remember the days of my baptism and feelings I felt. I also another time in my life--a time of being lost, caught up in a world of collage parties, drinking, and prescription drugs. Until one night, in the midst of my sorrows (knowing it was not right and that there must be more to life) I dropped to my knees and wept and asked our Father in Heaven for forgiveness. I remember bathing in the bathtub and wishing I could be washed in the blood of our Savior Jesus Christ, that my sins may be forgiven. Ever since that day my life has been better. My prayers have in answered. Some answers may not come in the time that wanted, but they came in the Lord's time. God is real, he saved my life. Jesus Christ is our eternal brother who loves us and wants what is best for us. The Holy Ghost/Spirit is there to guide us towards the light of righteousness. Love. Pray. Have the small amount of faith (the size of a grain of mustard seed) and live your life in goodness.
CHILLS!...... from 2:38 to 4:02
more like CHILLS from 0:00 to 4:02!!!!! haha shes incredible! :)
Jordans0915 chills throughout the song! and the bridge.
Right !
You go Carrie! You've got such a beautiful voice, and using it to sing about Christ is AMAZING. Being washed in the Blood Of Christ DOES change you! Wow, I love this song.
Don't have a problem with the song, the words are uplifting and positive! Really there are more important things to worry about, just my thought!
It took me three consecutive listenings to finally realize she goes into Amazing Grace at the end. Phenomenal, Carrie! LOVE you!
I am so in love with this song
my sister sent me this song when i was in a deep black hole,, and it lifted me up. gave me hope. thank you Nancy!
I have to post this because of all the comments ...
Christians vs Atheists...This is ridiculous already. THIS IS ONLY TO ATHEISTS THAT ARE OFFENDED OF THIS SONG......DON'T LISTEN OR BUY THIS CD!!!
To all Atheists that are not offended, KUDOS TO YOU!! I commend you for saying you're not offended. That is the way it should be.
The 1st Amendment is to keep us FREE FROM THE GOVERNMENT MAKING US A ONE RELIGION COUNTRY!!! It gives us the right to be whatever religion you believe in or not, even the religion of Atheism. ....
Christians & Church....Going to church don't make you a Christian. Just like going into a garage don't make you a car. Most Christians attend church, but just because some don't doesn't mean they can't have a relationship with God. AS FOR CARRIE NOT GOING TO CHURCH....HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE DOES OR DOESN'T DO???? Remember, you are a true Christian....you shouldn't judge people if you don't want God to judge you....Luke 6:37 ESV...“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
Homosexuality ....
Again, true Christians are not to judge anyone. Whether a person is gay or not, we are to love one another as you love yourself.
Mark 12:31 NIV
The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
Matthew 7:1-5 ESV
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
As for this song.....
I'm so happy Carrie wrote this song and is not ashamed to share her faith. The song is beautiful and uplifting. There are many great singers that came for American Idol that didn't win, but Carrie is an amazing singer and the best one that won American Idol. May God continue to bless you in all you do. Keep Jesus in your heart Carrie, living a Godly life. Keep writing music, sharing Jesus and your faith.
Carry Underwood has the purest and anointed voices I have heard in a long time and so did dolly pardon
My self I think there is no one like her
Not a big country music fan, but I am a big Carrie Underwood fan!! So proud of you sis!! Doing us proud!!
I'm atheist, I don't like this song. I'm not mad, I'm not offending anyone, I just don't like the song, for obvious reasons. The End. And that's how most of us take this song, not insulting, not replying to comments insulting us (for no reason), or spreading hate.
What I'm wondering is why bother commenting? Your comment doesn't have any significance, and is unrelated to the video. Don't get me wrong, I as well am Atheist, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate spiritual or religious symbols. For example, I am Atheist but I idolize the new pope, he shows great morals and is genuinely attempting to spread compassion for everyone, not just Christians and that's a great message. Also, you should definitely avoid religious and spiritual discussion because Atheism is in the minority of all religions, currently. I"m not hating on you, I appreciate your religious choice and understand you must have clear reasons for choosing this.
Thank you. Seriously... Why is this concept so difficult for people to grasp? Despite stance on religion, we all need to respect each other.
Love the song. Words so wonderful. God is our Savior and for those who do not know him, you are missing out on a life full of love and grace.
