GOD BLESS this young man that has taken his talent to the LORD instead of singing for the world. The Blessing your music gives to humanity is spiritually uplifting. Don't ever turn away from singing for HIM even though you will struggle to maintain fidelity to only sing for HIM, our great LORD.
I was led to this today just what I needed to hear for my 15 year old grandson has died and this young man is helping me to have hope that I will see Micah again thanks so much for singing this sung from Heaven
+Jeri Sawyer Hi Jeri. I am so sorry and sad that you have lost your grandson. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I do hope this song helps, and know that I and many others are praying for you. Keep the Hope Jeri... and Believe. Smiles Straalen
Don't mind this old fool going down memory lane listening to one of the absolute greatest singers ever to post on TH-cam. I hope you are doing well this so many years later. You have given me more joy than you can imagine just by being who you are.
this is simply beautiful . my mum passed away last year and all I have now is prayers to get me through thank you for this moving song may God bless you
You have an amazing voice!!! My name is Mariah. I'm 20 years old. I have a a rare genetic bone disease called Larsen Syndrome. It affects all the systems on my body and I have scoliosis. It's hard for me to walk and get around. I wish I could sing like that. I love singing I just don't sound very good. This song inspired me to keep going and not give up! You are so talented and was blessed by God. Thank you for sharing your voice with the world.
Wow, there are songs that just send shivers down your spine, and there are singers who just know how to bring the best out of that song, go no further, that combination is right here.. So magical, it bought tears to my eyes, many many thanks for sharing, and all the very best wishes for a long and happy future..
You are a Beautiful Angel Staalen God sent you to bring Unconditinal love to this world , every song I have listened to has brought Tears to my eyes , God Bless us all with your presence on this Earth
You have an amazing gift and what a beautiful heart! You hear God's love for all in your singing. Thanks for sharing your awesome gift with us :-) ~Laurene Cox
this is the most loving song I ever heard I listen to this song every day it helped me when me and my 15 year old lost our home in a house fire not to long ago we lost everything that we had even our little puppies that you for sharing this lovely song and may god bless you in so many ways sweetheart
Lyrics: Sometimes we stumble Sometimes we even fall And we can't find a friend Can't comprehend it all And we are lost With nothing to hold on to When we can't find the answer Sometimes a prayer will do And though we wonder Uncertain if we will get through To face the future Sometimes a prayer will do Sometimes we reach For what's not really there Sometimes we lose our grip Come tumbling through midair And we are searching For something to hold on to When we can't find the answer Sometimes a prayer will do And though we wonder Uncertain if we will get through To face the future Sometimes a prayer will do Then we are stronger Somehow we know we will get through To face the future Sometimes a prayer will do Yeah, we are stronger Somehow we know we will get through To face the future Sometimes a prayer will do Sometimes a prayer will do
God's timing is perfect my friend. I just went into my mail and noticed this from you. And the words you put to me, "I'm singing this for you," Oh my Lord, thank you so much for this blessing in my time of need. How precious. I love you, Smiles, and you will always be my friend. And I will keep passing on this song to all I meet. In Jesus, Dennis
This is an amazing Young Man..His Voice is amazing..But this song hit's home..As In this time in my life I have hit some Pretty Hard times and lot's of low's....Thank you for sharing this with us Straalen...
Praising God for your obedience, as he leads you with your ministry. The Holy Spirit led Jeri to this song & gave her a little peace so very desperately needed in her trial. As a grandmother, I too, cannot imagine the loss she has had to go thru. It is obvious God is anointing you & thru Him, you are reaching lives. Thank you for serving our Lord.
Straalen, what a Joy!...I just love your voice and the way you sing from the heart. I've checked some of your videos and they are all great. A wonderful future awaits you!!! God bless you sweetheart, and may God always guide your steps.....Lots of hugs and kisses. Ciao!, your fan forever....
Beautiful...and I really needed to hear this tonight...So many thing going on in life sometimes I do wonder...how I will get through this day...thank you.
I think it would be wonderful to hear you sing this again. This song has helped get some of my family and friends through difficult times, like it has for many others. Your cover of "If You Could Read My Mind Love," by Gordon Lightfoot is by far one of the the best I have seen.
Straalen, it's been a long time since a song and voice has touched my heart so completely. May God bless you always. Continue to send us your music. Rosalinda, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
You have been given a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing it with us! ,This is almost unreal,simply beautiful....! Wish you all the best God bless you!!
Thank you for this song, so sincere and clear, transparent. God may give more insipration, and your audience ears to notice it and voice to sing it !!!!
What an amazing talent you have young man. I hope and pray that you stay humble and handle your fame in a positive manner that your fans can look up to. I have no doubt that you will.
I'm a huge fan of yours Straalen! I watched you sing Hallelujah once I loved it and I've looked up songs sung by you and put them on my mp3 player. You have something that most boys your age don't have. You have hope and love. Your so inspiring.
WOW. I love that song and have listened to it with Tracey singing it, and she is a favorite of mine, and I am very taken by your version as well! You are an amazing singer and I hope to hear MORE from you in future!!! And how bright you shine on that stage, that is DEFINITELY where you should be, because you are a star, no doubt. Thank you for sharing your gift to the rest of us and I wish all the best to you in your life!
Another favorite from your CD. Very beautiful song and performance. I introduced your music to my sister and she bought your CD as well. She loves your music.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I typed in HOW GREAT THOU ART a bit ago and came across your video which led me to this one. I have never heard of you lol, but am so glad I found your videos! It's so nice to see someone, especially a young person, using their God given gift to share God's msg.! God bless you sweetie! P.S. I have never heard this song b4 either, but as someone with MS and many friends who are struggling with MS also, as well as many other things, it was truly inspiring; ty!

This song is so awesome. Its message is right on. The emotion that you put into your music is astounding. How Great Thou Art was the first song I listened to of yours. There is something about how you sing a song that just mesmerizes a person. Keep it up, and God bless you.

Can't help but to listen very carefully to the words of life. God Bless You
Lyrics:
Sometimes we stumble
Sometimes we even fall
And we can't find a friend
Can't comprehend it all
And we are lost
With nothing to hold on to
When we can't find the answer
Sometimes a prayer will do
And though we wonder
Uncertain if we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do
Sometimes we reach
For what's not really there
Sometimes we lose our grip
Come tumbling through midair
And we are searching
For something to hold on to
When we can't find the answer
Sometimes a prayer will do
And though we wonder
Uncertain if we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do
Then we are stronger
Somehow we know we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do
Yeah, we are stronger
Somehow we know we will get through
To face the future
Sometimes a prayer will do
Sometimes a prayer will do
