1989...35 years now..anyone in 2024????
✋
🙋♀️🇧🇷🇧🇷
I walked away from God for awhile then came back about four years ago!
pray for me
Peace.
Praying for you.
Blessings.
So did I years ago.Peace.Prayers.Romans 8. Keep the faith.
Read Isaiah 30:18. He was always there until you came back. You may feel distant from Him, but He is ready to pick up where he left off.
I have been turned away for too long. The state of our country and world for that matter is enough to draw me back. Prayers for all of you and our world. ❤
This is one of my all-time favorite Christian songs. It's so powerful.
I first heard the song in 1990 as a 21 year old. It was a fall of Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe where I grew up. This song was played when Billy Graham spoke a Gospel message. It was showing in all cities and venues. Thousands of people came to Jesus. Huge movement! I remember the tears...
Still listening in 2024 and has same power
😊he is gaer and I love c 😊😅song
True
It is indeed
Me too!!!
When my brother was 12 yrs old he had to have a brain tumor removed from the middle of his brain. This song played over and over as we prayed for his healing. He was never supposed to walk or talk again. 6 months after surgery he was completely normal and now has a beautiful family and finished his 10th triathlon!!!! GOD'S GRACE IS AMAZING!
Praise God in the Highest !!!
Praise the Lord!
Amen!! To Him be the glory forever and ever!!
WOWWWWWWWWW
Praise our Lord!!!
I was 6 years old when this was released. The first time I ever saw this video and every time after I cried and cried. I knew at 6 what Jesus did and the profound effect it had on me as a small child stayed with me my entire life. I'm 40 now. I haven't seen this video in over 30 years and I sit here still crying watching this video. The amazing sacrifice of Jesus, and the awesome love of God. Brings me to my knees.
Wow I was looking for this song for years I’m turning 40 next month and I just loved this song I also first heard this at about 6
❤
I’m 67 now. I use to take my kids, now 45 and 46, to see Amy Grant and Michael was the keyboard player in her band! A few years later, I took them to see Michael W Smith concerts, when he went off on his own! Still listen to and love the way his music stirs my spirit! God bless ❤️🙏
You're not alone, Amy. I'm 52 now, and I cry when I hear this song.
This is also my first time to see the video, as I didn't have access to it at age 17. In fact, my first time hearing "Secret Ambition" was in 2003, at age 32!
Thank you, Jesus!
If you walk with God, you will always reach your destination.
I'm a Jewish believer in Yeshua / Jesus. This tells the whole story in one song.
The BEST video depicting Jesus dying/sacrificing his life on the cross.
Thank you for your love and support which has brought me this far, it's has been a hard time for me but you supports has got me standing even in difficult times, I can't appreciate enough, the support of fans who have prayed for me, I welcome you to my RUclips channel.

For God SO LOVED the World, that He gave His ONLY BEGOTTON SON; that whosoever believeth in Him, shall NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE! (John 3: 16) No words can even begin to explain the love Jesus has for us- Who would give his life to save mankind? Death has been defeated!
Amen!!
I truly love this song. Ya know, my sister was one of the strongest Christian women I ever knew. As you can see, I'm speaking in past tense. God took her home when she was 32 years old. The same age I am right now. She never lost faith that she would be healed by God's grace and she was... just not in the way that we here on earth had wanted. Sometimes God's ambition is different than our own and that's not always easy to reconcile. Praise be to God that his secret ambition allowed for my sister to meet her heavenly Father and live eternity with Him. As she laid in her hospital bed, unable to speak due to the respirator in her mouth, I promised her I would see her again one day. Thanks to Jesus, I will.
I lost my favorite aunt to bone cancer in 1993. Michael W. Smith was one of her favorite Christian artists. When I hear any of his songs, I fondly think of her and her reading me Bible stories when I was a child..I will see her in Heaven someday! Looking forward to it. ❤❤
Saved since 1978. This song, ah. Thank you Lord for giving us Michael. 🙏
Who’s here and still gets emotional with this song/video in 2019 ❤️
Me
Me too!
Again nov 17 th 2019. I’m praying I become fixed in my desire to make Gods name glorious...
Nobody like the King of the 12 tribes.... HE LOVES US
Christie - Yep!
CHRIST IS KING!
The man playing Pontius Pilate is my Papa, I really love this song and music video. He passed away back in January and I watch this video and it makes me smile to see how he was so many years ago. :)
he was devote man of god was he
Was this reenactment of Jesus' story made just for this video, or is it part of an actual movie?
Malchusgenerosa cool man. I lost my birth father years ago before I could re connect with him. love the song/video. sorry for your loss.
Malchusgenerosa cool :)
It was actually part of the Passion play in Eureka Springs Arkansas back in the day lol.
This was the last video I saw before the Lord took hold of me on Dec. 10th 1995. Thank You God. I love You.
Thank you, Lord!!!
Amen
God is great! Blessed be His name!
Nate this video was instrumental in bringing me to a personal relationship with my Savior in January 1997.
Lord bless brother Micheal
In my opinion, the greatest Christian music video ever produced. It's not even close. Spoke to me in high school the first time I saw it. And still to this day. Your vision was palpable and heartfelt. And no one has touched it since. Plays today just as powerfully as it did the first time I saw it. Almost 30 years ago. I've been a video editor for 15 years now. And this video, is one of the major reasons why. It inspired me. It still inspires me to this day. Hopefully at some point I can put together something as meaningful as this has been for millions, maybe even billions of people. But count me in as one of them.
Have you ever watched or listened to Steve Taylor from the early-mid 80s? He took a more satirical approach but also a very powerful and godly artist.
@phoover76 yes this video still has the Anointing of God all over it! That's why it's so powerful! :-)
Lord please forgive me.
This song brings back so many awesome memories. On 12-26-1983 I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior and on 12-26-2023 I just celebrated my 40th year anniversary walking down the Narrow Road with Jesus and the journey continues. Listening now to this awesome song again at 64 yrs old. Great music back in the day.
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song...I was 10 years old and attending a church camp. It moved me so much that I cried and dedicated my life to Jesus. Although it was a long time later until I was baptized and fully dedicated myself to his teachings. This song was what started me on my path to God. Although I deviated from it and left him for a bit, he never left me.
Same!! Church Camp!
And God will forever keep you with Him in Jesus name.
Same with me I was listening to this song when I was in Church Camp when I was 12 Years old and it changed my life
Church camp is the best! I don't have an experience with this particular song there but a particular experience I had once one year (I went every year from 5-15 years old) is what makes me be able to believe in God without question. I had a lot of good experiences there but this one takes the cake. Pastor was right in the middle of her sermon. We were just sitting there listening, nothing intense was happening and out of nowhere we felt it like a warm wind, the spirit moved right through that room and covered us. We were all completely bewildered, wondering if we all just felt that, we all are looking around at each other amazed. It was confirmed what we felt when the pastor immediately stopped preaching, said the spirit is here and we're going to do alter call and have the worship team come back and sing. We proceeded to glorify his name late into the night. Praise be to God, hallelujah! We were drunk in the spirit when church finally ended. Nothing will ever compare to that feeling again. Sometimes I wish it was a little more achievable to feel the spirit move like that at every church service but unfortunately if there are too many hearts closed off to his love, then it just doesn't happen. Sorry for my long comment.
Church camp here too!! Here it is 2023 and still digging it!
A classic that I never grow tired of hearing! Its message is spot on … 2000 years later the world still doesn't understand the central message of the life of Christ … "to give His life away!"
All of Micheal W. Smiths songs are great.
😊he is gaer and I love 💗 w song 🎶
The central message of Christ is that he is God incarnate who died as a living sacrifice for our sins and we are to turn away from our worldly desires and accept Christ along with his Word so that we may have eternal life.
❤
I remember long ago, one sunday morning, sitting in our congregation after having played in our church orchestra, ready for our Pastor to start his message, and finding out I was sitting behind Michael W. Smith, with Billy Sprague, and after the service was over talking to them both! I was also a musician, talking to these two Gospel music Greats! What a Sunday! Thank Our GOD for they're ministry! ❤✝️
God is in control if we just trust in The living God.
It took me my heart surgery to open my eyes and and then from there I decided to accept Christ at age 13.
Nobody has said it yet, but my God, Michael W Smith is so hot in this video. Nice arms, great jawline, intense eyes.
This was the first christian music video i ever saw. Through it I came to the understanding of what Jesus went through. It caused me to start searching for God,. through it I came to believe in God and except Jesus as my savior a few years later. I have been a christian now for almost 30 years, and I am eternal grateful to Micheal w Smith for this song and video. to this day I still show it to others. Thank you Micheal, Can't wait to meet you in heaven.
Loved it
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the holy veil away
Questioning those in powerful position
Running to those who called His name
That part of the e song is very Powerful!!! Amen
But nobody knew his Secret Ambition
Was to give his life away
The message and simplicity is why I love this song so much!
I was saved at 14 years old during altar call while this video was being played at a concert put on by a local band. Praise God for working on my heart that night
This song really touched me when I was a teenager in the 90’s. Made my faith in God stronger. I can see what my Lord and Savior did for me. Also had a crush on Michael at that time lol. I wish they can remake this song.
All these years later and it's still so good!
😂y😅he is gadder and I love 💕 song 😢
when I saw this video it was the first time I ever saw a point of view about the life of jesus. it played a big part in finding my salvation. IT makes me cry everytime I see a cruxifixion scene
Sometimes the older music says it all!
The old music i think is best... christian music from the 80's or 90's..
Right? The older music, for the most part, was so much better.
Especially TODAY!!!...Some of the new "contemporary" music scares me very much...
The Christian bands of today dishonor the sacrifice and hard work of the old school Christian bands like Petra and singers like Smitty and Amy Grant and Steve Camp!
@@erictroxell715 hahaha
God changed my life with this song.
his secret ambition was easter, NOT christmas.
His secret ambition was to fill all in all! It wasn't about arguing the merits of holidays and trivial pursuits.
Easter & Christmas are Pagan, worship of false gods and have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. Christmas is about Nimrod and when setting up a Christmas tree, decorating it its a symbol of false gods worship towards Nimrod, nothing to do with Jesuss birth and Easter is about Ishtar the goddess of fertility and It has been twisted this way to deceive Christians starting in Babylon times. Don't let pagan traditions deceive you. Jesus is on His way back sooner then we think, we must open our eyes and repent from false gods worship in Jesus name....
+Dina Farmer I TOTALLY AGREE with Your Comment.. Praise Jah!!
Wel I say that Easter is a time to stop and remember that God our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to save our souls from sin so we have a second chance of eternal life!..... Jesus didn't have to sacrifice His life for us but He did..... And Christmas is the time that Christians remember that Jesus Christ...Our Lord and Savior was born on Earth so He could experience a life as a human just like us and then die as we do but then rise again 3 days later....taking our sins away!...... p.s. read the true Bible!
Although I am an atheist now, I have to say that this is good music.
Before The Passion of the Christ, this was what I saw when I pictured the crucifiction. Never has a piece of music or video touched my soul. Three decades later, and it still touches me.
This song makes me cry every time I watch it. Jesus was an AMAZING person and didn't deserve to die but he chose to for us. That's the greatest sacrifice anyone can ever make. I love you GOD!!!!
+Angel Eyes I agree! Wholeheartedly! But it should be Jesus IS an AMAZING person, not was.
Oooooops!!!! Your totally right!! Thanks!
Absolutely, Angel. No problem. I just want the world to know, via you, the proper context in which to refer to Our Lord and Saviour. :)
+Angel Eyes Of course He didn't deserve to die; that was why he was the only Person who could do what needed to be done. :-)
He died for US and only us
Thank you Jesus for everything you’ve done for me, but especially saving me for eternity!!!! I love you Lord! Soon you’re coming to take us home!!!! Praise God for giving us Jesus our savior and Lord!!!! ❤️
I love jesus
On this Valentine’s Day I am grateful for the love that Jesus gave 2021 and this song still has so much meaning.
My favorite song back then when I was only 11 years old. Now I'm 42 years old and still love this song. Love you God!!!!
Such a powerful song still, after all these years ❤
He's such an anointed artist and I've been a fan from early on
Hallelujah, Glory be to God! He is risen!!!
Amém!
May God bless you and your family!
Not even a religious person this song just slaps.
Straight facts
Here in Brazil we christians, loves so much Michel´s songs, but i don´t no why this music is not played or known like other of him. The message of this song is powerfull and vibrance.
God saved and changed my mind and my life with that song 18 years ago.....thank you Jesús!!!
That ending with the guitar and percussions......simply sick !
Jesus can I say something I love you I know I fail you daily millions times a day but I love you you saved me on april 16 1999 bad things may happen my mental illness gets hard but you keep me in your arms I love you 😍
Still listening in 2019! 😀🙌
This was my first Cassette tape in the 80s ❤️
Wow awesome
ame´m, aleluia.
Me too.
عربي❤️
Exactly lol straight into 2020
The tomb is EMPTY !!! He is RISEN!!! Glory to the King, The Lord Jesus!!!
I used to listen to this song on cassette tape back in the 1990s, when I was just a little kid. It's so powerful.
Never forget you see all these comments never forget looked at the generation that all of you Christian rock artist inspired this many people remember that all the people that like your music are pretty much inspired by it I am one of those people I play guitar because I love music I played before because I love to get through a child and you set the example and set the word
2021, still love this song! The more I read the scriptures the more I understood what it was saying
I was five or six the first time I saw this video, and while I'd heard all my life that Jesus died on the cross for my sins, seeing this, what he truly endured for /me/ stuck with me from that day forward.
This filled my eyes with tears, it's still so wonderful even after how long it's been since it was first filmed! Praise be to Jesus Christ; the only man who qualified both in purity and willingness to suffer for our salvation!!
amen well said and i lvoe oyur profile anme and pics!!! He is risen!
August 2021...I still have the original CASSETTE TAPE from 1989 (I was in college)! Played it so much it got warped, but I still have the album. And I still remember all the words, singing while watching this video.
I love you I say as I lay sobing my head off John 3 :16 I know you have heard it before but I'm gonna say it again if I have the strength I'm just in awe for God so loved the world that he gave his only son whosoever believes in him shall have eternal life.
This is the best Christian music
Video of all time! Jesus is alive indeed! Happy Resurection
Sunday 2014!
PTL. He is STILL Risen in 2019.
@@vanmoody might be but what if it got dark
Happy Resurrection Sunday 2020
You are SO right about this being the BEST Christian video of all time! HE lives !!
First time I heard this song I was like, "Wow, that says it all" It's such a powerful message laid out clearly.

First time watching this video. Wow ❤ I'm so grateful to u God. Thank u for giving your life for mine. See u Micheal W Smith in Yakima in February. First time attending your concert as well. We all will be blessed.
There was so many in Hollywood who was inspiring like Michael W. Smith is but now Hollywood is a total waste of our time & money. Michael has always encouraged love, compassion, happiness, & being there for our fellow American citizens & children...even our soldiers!!!!! This man will always inspire me!!!!!
I first got serious about Christianity when I was 15 (1995). At the time it was very common for Christian youth to get rid of their "secular" music. So I threw away lots of tapes, and cds... My dad had a stash of late 80's / early 90's Christian music and that was all I had for a couple of years. But I really liked this song back then, and I used to get chills listening to it.
Still one of my favorite songs of all time!!
I have all video concert in DVD
Grettings from Argentina.
Me too Karen. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear the song :)
That's song was a blessing

I am 50 and have loved Michael w Smith since I was like 16 yrs of age. This is one of my favorites. I have almost every cd or cassette.
This song still inspires me -- no one knew Jesus was giving His life way out of love and mercy for us. That's why it's still a mystery to those who are without Jesus why and how his followers can exhibit such devotion, self-sacrifice and unconditional love despite persecution and problems. But, as these saints will say -- as Mother Teresa often did -- it's not us, it's all Him. We're just letting Him shine through.
Wow never seen Michael wore clothes like that ,until I saw this son,he love God and everything he does is for God,Thanks for upload
No matter how often I've heard this song over the years, every time has the same result .The message is truly a powerful 1. My brother and his wife were 'called home ' 20 years ago .And, I know they are safe in God's grace. Rest in peace .Until we meet again.
This video was played at all the youth groups back in the day.
Who else watchd this as a kid in youth group in the 90s And walked away from God for a long time but came back in their 30s, lost my two best friends and long term partner and alone for 8 years after dedicating my life to Christ, but when god takes away gives so much more,
Testimony, My first love was widowed 2 years ago and we’re getting married in October,
This song reminds me of so much the reason for being, love this song! Makes me tear up every time
I have been watching "The Chosen". Anyone else? God Bless! Jesus is coming soon!
this is still one of my favorite Michael W Smith''s songs
He ch k7ttg4ettgty it ce eww w
My buddy just showed me this it is so awesome! Jesus is the MAN!
I love how much he loves jesus.. He is so cool, i wish I could be like him
Here is a truth. For those who are called. We are soldiers of Christ Jesus!! We must defend the weak, lost, forsaken, persecuted at whatever the cost! So, you better count the cost. For them.
This is one of my favorite songs that Smitty's ever done. It was also one of the first "Christian rock" tunes I ever heard.
Gracias Señor Jesucristo.Nunca encontraré otro como tú.Gracias por tu perfecto ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Song was originally released in 1988 - still just as inspiring in 2022. Songs about Jesus are always relevant especially when His story is told with such good writing and music.
This song made me cry. Thank you for your sacrifice Jesus. I praise your holy name.
My favorite song
this is a song that send a chill up my spine every time i hear it.
knives save lives oh me too! I feel tears Everytime I watch it.
@@candacehughes2464 omg me to what if he dose home work at night
Same here. Encapsulates the gospel so well.
They say you can't hear pictures, well the opening shot of this video proves them wrong!
He actually gave his life away by serving others, by being a light unto their world.
We all can be a light unto this darkened world.
Service is the word for a new time.
The the age of Aquarius.
This was by far one of the best songs Mr. Smith ever wrote and performed. There is so much Scriptural Meat in this song which is exactly what the Church is missing these days. I pray the body would come back to its senses and bring this style of music back instead of the likes of Bethel.
This song has been blessing me for the past almost 30 years. God bless you, Michael W.!
love this music specialy when you're hurting inside right now my birthday is almost here but i share a birthday with my son he would be 20 this year i miss him so much. he passed away in may 5 of 1998 god just help me through this day

I am sorry about your loss.
Heaven is a very special place! I encourage you to read the books about heaven by Kat Kerr. Very encouraging :)
Our Family God will help
I saw this for the first time as a boy in a youth retreat. It was some time in the late 90s. I'd almost forgotten but I knew it was there somewhere. Mr Smith, thank you then and thank you know for this song. :-)
me too
Jesus, we need you more than ever in this time. Please come back soon and bring true peace to the earth...
I love this song. Jesus Christ is in this song !!!! I will Evangelize for Christ and preach the TRUTH !!!!
the Great Comission,being fishers of men, and women
This video was the main vehicle to get me saved. Thank you for God using you Michael
My former foster brother had this a song set as his morning wake up alarm in 2009/2010.
I still remember it.
06-09-2023 GOD BLESS YOU FOR BEING A BLESSING IN MY LIFE WITH YOURS BLESSEDS PRAISES SINCE 2010,MICHAEL W. SMITH!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤BRASIL
It's awesome to see that this song has impacted so many lives! Wow!
Michael W. Smith is the earliest memory of my childhood. My mom playing his records over and over again when I was like 3. I feel privileged!
Saaame! I grew up on Go West Young Man & Eye 2 I!
@@meganofsherwood3665 Hey! Thanks for bringing that up! Right now I'm listening to "All You're Missing Is A Heartache", just for the nostalgia haha
I'm a 90's kid, how I love those old times!
Still the BEST song...Gives me a warm feelin like Jesus was wrapping his arms around me, and squeezin...MMMMMM Good! Thats a little southern draw...Lived in Macon Georgia, for 31 years. Praise God, for All his Love, mercy and grace!! He is So good!
wow, this song and video goes with me back to 1990 or so.. I was in high school when I became christian after watching this video at our youth group and also "The Champion" from Carman. Never forgot I felt on my knees and cried like a baby.. wow, I am old. lol God bless everyone.
I remember going to this concert in the Calgary Jubilee in the late 80's. Michael W. Smith was the opening band for Amy Grant at the time. I did not know who he was but knew about Amy Grant. I was a teenager who was newly saved and thought the world was void of good christian music. Well that changed very quickly with Michael W. Smith opening and I was changed forever. Every time I hear music from this album I get transported back to that time. Thank you Jesus for saving me and changing my life forever! I had trouble finding the album at the time until I found it downtown on 17th at Christian Publications. A vinyl record! May God Bless you Michael and keep you on the straight and narrow.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Hallelujah!
Just as powerful today as it was yesterday.....THANKS MICHAEL!!!!!!
The holy spirit led my brother to show me this video for the first time two years ago and 2019 jesus saved me!
