I first heard this song in 1999. I never even listened to Christian music before this. I heard this song only a few days after I tried to take my own life. I was flipping through the channels on the radio and this song was on. I pulled over and started crying my eyes out. It was a very dark time in my life, and I feel this song and the message saved my life. I will always be grateful for this. Thank you.
My teenage son introduced me to this song many years ago. He's 35 now. He (and his mother and I) certainly felt like our world was taken apart at times. (He had some pretty significant health issues). Now his Mom (and my wife of 45 years) is finishing up treatments for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. We are believers in the risen Christ. We haven't gathered with the saints in years, but we talk to God daily and ask for intercession. We are faithful that he will deliver. "Though He slay me, yet I will praise Him"
To the guys of Jars of Clay. You are anointed. This is the first Christian song I fell in love with, and to this day it gives me goosebumps, guidance during struggle, and reminds me to be humble. I love you all.
The version of this tremendous song performed Live on the “ Eleventh Hour “ tour was one of the greatest live performances by any group ever. Praise be to God.
Forever such an annointed surrender devotional praise song 💜 thank you this song ministered to me many moons ago n still does.... Glory to God and peace n love to all
I loved this song 5 years ago, i sang it often to God in my quite times. And somehow i've forgotten about it. A few days ago i had the topic of salvation, grace and God's unending love on my heart and i've bumped into this song again. Thank you, JOC. God is soo good, it's so unbelievable how he takes us and loves despite of our egoism and failures. I'm so thankful how God directed my steps in the last 5 years. God is good♥️
This is a beautiful version of a favorite song of theirs... simple and stunning. the lyrics and their meaning are not lost in this. a timeless song for us to consider and pray.
one of the best song of JOC. my band and I use to cover this song after the album was released. this song mean so much to me personally .. Thank you JOC. the lyrics is close to my heart. please have a tour here in the Philippines ..
I'm no christian by any stretch, but I DO love JOC....this song, as simply sung as it is....is masterful....I was a fan as a teen, and even moreso now.
I am the only one to blame for this Somehow it all ends up the same Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high and like Icarus I collide With a world I try so hard to leave behind To rid myself of all but love, to give and die To turn away and not become Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves More deeply than the oceans More abundant than the tear Of a world embracing every heartache Can I be the one to sacrifice Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow To love you - Take my world apart To need you - I am on my knees To love you - Take my world apart To need you - Broken on my knees All said and done I stand alone Amongst remains of a life I should not own It takes all I am to believe In the mercy that covers me Did you really have to die for me All I am for all you are What I need and what I believe are worlds apart And I pray To love you - Take my world apart To need you - I am on my knees To love you - Take my world apart To need you - Broken on my knees On my knees I look beyond the empty cross Forgetting what my life has cost Wipe away the crimson stains Dull the nails that still remain More and more I need you now I owe you more each passing hour Battles between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago So steal my heart and take the pain And wash the feet and cleanse my pride Take the selfish, take the weak And all the things I cannot hide Take the beauty, take my tears Sin-soaked heart, make it yours Take my world all apart Take it now, take it now And serve the ones that I despise Speak the words I can't deny Watch the world I used to love Fall to dust and blow away I look beyond the empty cross Forgetting what my life has cost Wipe away the crimson stains Dull the nails that still remain So steal my heart and take the pain Take the selfish, take the weak And all the things i cannot hide Take the beauty, take my tears Take my world apart, take my world apart I pray, and I pray, and I pray Take my world apart Worlds apart
"FLOOD" the House Music version /re-mix by Junior Vasquez Is Fuckin Incredible!!! Jonathon Peters Made SIIIICK Re-Mix Also... Just a Magnificent Song, the words, beat, and just the way they BOTH DID their thing, and this is years ago, I'm talking, 96,97, or 98... Just a Grrreat Song to Hear wen ya Started to maybe wanna Leav, and mind you it's 1030-11am at The Tunnel (where Junior spun at the time).. Or The 2nd Factory on 46th or 47th I think (that's where Jonathon Peters Made his Name(.. BUT, either place or wherever you were WHEN YOU DID great it, just put you in Such A Mood, that NOTHING CAN ROUVC YOU!!! Fabulous Times, Grreat memories!!! And A Huge Thank You To JARS OF CLAY, the original is absolutely fantastic!! thank you for your Talents, and for making such A Joyful Song!! in my mind atleast!! I appreciate it!! 🤣😗
I don't like today's so-called "Christian songs". But I still love the Christian songs from the 90s. BTW, if you want to know what Dan Haseltine is up to, he is involved with cowriting the score for a new internet tv show called The Chosen. It's not on Netflix, but you can find it on Pureflix as well as RUclips and Facebook. It's about the life of Christ and how He related to the people around Him. It's wonderful! I never realized before what a gift for writing music that Dan has! Check it out! I know you'll be glad you did! 👍👍😊💟💟🙏🙏

Heard this song as a young Christian. Now 57 and still loving this song. It pierces my heart and beckons me to worship the ONE who died for me!
Oh how this song calms me and occasionally brings a tear to my eye...
20 years and it still brings tears to my eyes.
It cuts me deep to the core.
I thought I was the only one that cried when I hear this anointed song....
This is my favoritest song of all time. Not just favoritest Jars of Clay song, but favoritest song ever!!!!!!!! ♥ ♫

Every time I sing along with this song I end up in tears.... such a beautiful song.

This is definitely one of the top 3 songs they've ever ever done.
Been on repeat since 1997
Once you are on your knees all changes... one of the best songs ever!!!

Love this song!
I feel I woke up at 5 a.m. singing this song before I even opened my eyes
this song holds so true. alcohol is lonely.
2020, beautiful still.
how does this channel only have 2k subscribers and this video only 90k views. It's criminal!
I'm no christian by any stretch, but I DO love JOC....this song, as simply sung as it is....is masterful....I was a fan as a teen, and even moreso now.
Welcome back childhood he's reminding me of the innocent child i used to be.
Beautiful
God bless you all ❤️
Gahhh, I need the Tab to this version pronto!
TWO VERY SWEET TAYLOR GUITARS !
I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
More deeply than the oceans
More abundant than the tear
Of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
To love you - Take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - Take my world apart
To need you - Broken on my knees
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me
All I am for all you are
What I need and what I believe are worlds apart
And I pray
To love you - Take my world apart
To need you - I am on my knees
To love you - Take my world apart
To need you - Broken on my knees
On my knees
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
Wipe away the crimson stains
Dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now
I owe you more each passing hour
Battles between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
Sin-soaked heart, make it yours
Take my world all apart
Take it now, take it now
And serve the ones that I despise
Speak the words I can't deny
Watch the world I used to love
Fall to dust and blow away
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
Wipe away the crimson stains
Dull the nails that still remain
So steal my heart and take the pain
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things i cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
Take my world apart, take my world apart
I pray, and I pray, and I pray
Take my world apart
Worlds apart
On the "Long Kiss Goodnight" movie with Geena Davis they did a song on the soundtrack called "The Chair"
No Brasil 2022 ouvindo
Meu Deus, como essa música me construiu, me ajudou.
Top demais
I think Flood did back in 90s
Took my world apart..............................
😭😭😭
😍💖
The prayer
Please pray for me
Can god really take my worlds apart?

I'm unwavering in my faith in Jesus, but can't stand Christian music, EXCEPT for JARS of CLAY! 👌👍

These guys blew my mind when I first heard them in 1997. I played my future step-daughter's cd to death. I was so disappointed they went Woke.
