Love love love this. I am going through a situation that had burned me and I am asking God for healing. Thank you Jill Scott for manifesting your feelings into this beautiful song...for not just you but me.
When I heard this song yrs ago it was hard to relate to it and I honestly was trying to understand what the song meant. Now...I know exactly how she feels and its like she took the words out of my mouth. Love has such a strong affect that if you're not careful you can loose yourself and everything you eva knew. God is love, so wait on Him and allow Him to show you what true love is!
When the heart has time to listen, albeit through the pain and delivery of happenstance, God steps in and creates a path for one to cry and he hears your call.
This song has become my prayer so often lately. It's everything I'm feeling, and Jill put it all into perfect words. But why does it feel like He doesn't hear my heart crying, screaming, breaking...? Where is He?...
I love this song. Wish I had known that the performance was on my birthday. For that is the day I hit the half century mark. I've always admired Jill Scott and her music. And this is not only my new favorite song by her, it's one of my top five songs for 2011.
I was simply moved in such a spiritual way. I don't go to church, do believe in my spiritual connection with my God. Her simple and yet earnest approach to this song just moved me so emotionally. She seemed to be emotionally invested in every part of this song and its lyrics. She sang it from the heart like I have never witnessed an artist before. Incredible vocal performance.
This song absolutely captivates my heart and my spirit. It brings me back to a point in my life where I was heartbroken by someone I loved so much and thought I would marry. After the incident I felt so hopeless, ashamed and depressed. But this song brought me closer to the LORD and reminded me who my true support system was. Every note and lyric in this performance embodies what I felt at the time. I am so thankful that artists like Jill and music like this still exists.
I recall watching Michael Jackson in This Is It and while crying just thinking... My God, the gift you gave this being... nothing like him and maybe nothing ever again to be near him... but Jill apologize. This song and this performance in particular placed her in a place somewhere between my soul's needs and God's lips. She has transcended the art and risen to the level where the music can do no less than stir the soul. Well done sister.
@Nahlij502 ---u described the feeling in my soul COMPLETELY when I hear this song.... its SO BEAUTIFUL, yet SO EMOTIONAL that i almost can not listen to it...
ONLY GOD THE JUDGE!!!! The way she cry out to God is thru her songs and the way I cry out to God is thru my dance. May God be with her in her hard time
Considering the uncommonly extraordinary body of work you have put together, it would seem unlikely that an artist would catapult themselves so much further beyond all the previously achieved greatness. I thank you for this gift that you have bestowed on us all
THANKS SO MUCH JILL SCOTT FOR WRITTING THIS SONG.. I WAS FEELING THIS WAY AND YOU SONG MU FEELING RIGHT OUT... THIS SONG HELPED ME TO RECIEVE MY HEALING.. THANKS SO MUCH.. I LOVE THIS SONG..
God has & will always be there...promised never to leave or forsake us. Sometimes a song is the only way to purge and remove the cloud of doubt. #realLove ~b.d
@Nahlij502 Simply Amazing!, thanks for sharing your thoughts towards this work of art....One of the greatest live vocal performances I've heard in quite awhile..This song is very heart felt and for the fact of it already having one dislike is unreal!
@Nahlij502 the way you eloquently said that was touching. Im a songwriter and you have inspired me with your poetic expression. Thank you for sharing how this performance touched you so, i was also touched but reading your post intensified those emotions. *thumbs up*
@Nahlij502 Love your poetic expression!!!!! I didn't see the show but you made me feel like I was there! I love the line "completely sensual, yet almost holy! Your words left nothing else to be said! Blessins~
Praise GOD!!!!! Wow That was the most eloquent statements in reply i am sure i have ever read! Speak to me Lord! those of us who seek a better understanding of God we have such a hard time when it comes to the judement of others. If you would take the time to seek your heart and ask when in the presence of those who may not know him as you do. That the Lord would have you hear , see and say Those things that would glorify and edify!!! Stand outside your flesh and welcome the holy spirit of GOD!
@phibeta6ma I cant understand why you have not been a Jill fan..she exudes God in her voice and is truthful...a true artist, a gift...glad you were touched ..now continue to get into this spirited woman
TH-cam took off the best one of hear my call. Why can t they leave the great ones on here? Love to hear jill scott sing hear my my call she is so great at this one.
unfortunately we must endure pain, the callouses from heart ache and heartbreak are our life's lessons, to think how special we are to brush ourselves off after all of it and face the world again for the experience of love...
I was seriously just thinking the same thing. I only wish this song had been released when I needed it in 2008. How many times I asked for God's help, because I felt so used, burned, dirty, lied to. I needed this then. How, I to, wish I could go back, and side step the whole thing. You are not alone.
Im in so much pain right now. this will probably be the last time I hear this song. I cant handle life and I really wish God would hear my call and get me outta here
Listen to FC Barnes "What more do you want Him to do". Let your soul listen to the words and cry out to God. I'm not bashing on you...just allow your focus to move from your pain to the healing and comfort He offers thru this song.
No one should ever have to understand this kind of heartache. It's the most painful thing to feel aside from death of a loved one. Love can burn you raw....I wish I could rewind time and avoid it.
i dont like when ppl call themselves christian but be the first one to judge someone .... to me i think everybody is a sinner nobody perfect... only God can judge us....
My Lord...!!Brothering be encouraged in the Lord and encourage each other in the Lord as well...I have to remind myself of my "PLACE" and its not to judge someone and say who is worthy and who is not...because we all fall short or HIS glory...It's not my place to say who is a saint/sinner...we are ALL HIS children,,DAVID, a man after GOD'S heart, Let he who among you without sin cast the first stone. I think yall need to put your rocks down, I did kept ricocheting. Walk in HIS Light not your own
The raw emotion and calling on a power bigger than herself is somehow lost on those of you who chose to argue about her religious belief and hair choices. I'm sure that what ever that power may be is just shaking their head at the comment section
jill scott was raised as a jehovah witness and she still is, she made that known on many interviews in magazines and etc and acceptance speeches for her awards and etc...jehovah jirah is one of the many names of GOD (gen 22:13-14) such as Elohim, ABBA, jehovah-rohi and etc....and honestly no one has to power or authority to judge unless you're the one w/o sin Jesus Christ whether its Jill or a person on the street
Jill has just been through a lot in her personal relationships/ marriage and went through a divorce prior to taping the first Why Did I Get Married. She like all of us is a child of God, and being a secular artist doesn't make her any more or less of a sinner than someone sitting in church every Sunday. Smh @ the statement about her being a sinner in a room full of Christians. You gotta be kidding me...
@IeshaL77 who ever said that dont kno the bible or the word of God becuz it says, ALL MEN HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.! so, please if she is in a room of saints she is to..!
My comment is not to argue or condemn you for your choice not to believe in God. But I would like to point out that the answer to your question as to God having 3 "spirits" is as simple as your own life and those around you. Don't know if you're male or female but you could be a father, son, & husband or a mother, sister, wife...all 3 persona have active rolls & perform their duties yet they all reside in one person. Add, that those that believe, know Him to be omnipotent, makes being 3 easy.
had to make sure i was accurate, she is a five percenter just as i said, and she makes references to the koran in her songs. you cant serve two masters, you cannot even be in the presence of the true and living God if your worshipping false god, which she is, we must worship God in spirit and in TRUTH, so yes she is a sinner, as some of us once were, but dont know that the room full of ppl are saved either, but theres good news, she can repent, Jesus died for her like he did for everyone else
How is she serving two masters because she makes references to the Koran in her music? You do realize that Allah means God in Arabic? So Christians, Muslims are sedving the SAME, ONE and only GOD!
Here again in 2023.
Needing to be heard ❤
This made my literally cry while I watched. Unexpected rawness. I felt exactly what she was saying. Every note. Every word.
You make you feel so connected with your spirit.
This song is so emotional it bring me to tears.
Love love love this. I am going through a situation that had burned me and I am asking God for healing. Thank you Jill Scott for manifesting your feelings into this beautiful song...for not just you but me.
I played this on repeat when I first bought the album. So simple, yet so powerful.
This song touches me to soul I swear
tHIS SONG HERE IS SO MOVING AND SO GREAT IT'S LIKE SHE'S SINGING THE STORY OF MY LIFE THROUGH THIS SONG.......
Just incredibly moving...sums up so much in so few words. I thank Ms. Scott also for allowing us a glimpse into her commune with God...
💙💙💙 I love the live version you hear all the pain! 🥺
This song speaks to my spirit. I am so in,ove with the lyrics and I Love Jill's performance of it. OMG My god Is so real!!!!
This song is hitting right on the nail on how I feel...I really don't think I can love again...I'm scared of loving someone
Yes..you can love💘 again...love can find you 🤞 try to invest a little of your time to just see 👀 I believe in your happiness😊

Not much moves me, but the expression of love through the subtlety of music and voice does. This is rare and beautifully humbling.

Oh Lord Jill...phenominal

@chelseasmiley11 I cried too. I love this song :)
This performance will live beyond her life..
She sound amazing, her voice is a straight gift from the almighty God....she kinda looks like sheri mofet jones at 2:14-2:18
Ineffable . . .
This is her testimony it's all over her.
@blackbeau25 well said...so true....amen.
IM FROZEN....
😘
can you do that with Yolanda Adams and Donnie singing the prayer
she should've performed BLESSED!
EmmanuelPierrePortraits this was meant for someone. I’m glad she performed this.
jill scott was raised as a jehovah witness and she still is, she made that known on many interviews in magazines and etc and acceptance speeches for her awards and etc...jehovah jirah is one of the many names of GOD (gen 22:13-14) such as Elohim, ABBA, jehovah-rohi and etc....and honestly no one has to power or authority to judge unless you're the one w/o sin Jesus Christ whether its Jill or a person on the street
whats the name of this song
@Nahlij502 are you a poet?
Jill has just been through a lot in her personal relationships/ marriage and went through a divorce prior to taping the first Why Did I Get Married. She like all of us is a child of God, and being a secular artist doesn't make her any more or less of a sinner than someone sitting in church every Sunday.

and to that this Christian says AMEN.

This is why Christians should not work with secular music artists. Referring to the microphone performance of 11/2018.
Jill, man has done you wrong, not love!
