amen. i've considered i2eye michael's best album EVER!! always had a fondness for christian music from the 80s and 90s. as a teen, i had pictures of michael, amy and others plastered on my wall. that was how i showed my love for christian music! i kid you not!
in my case it was 1987 at age 11 and amy grant. i'm 36 now and i never can listen to any other form of music. this brings us to why God created music in its purest form. to praise Him! nuff said,.
Is the world so blind that they can’t see the Messiah singing through, writing through, producing through this man chosen before the foundation of the world. How could anyone deny God’s electing grace. Yes the world is blind until God’s revelation awakens the Stoney heart. God have mercy on us.
COULD BE THE MESSIAH Been here for days, I'm amazed At this teacher, carpenter, preacher Lost in the crowd. I hear him now He's praying and he's saying "God feed them all" Five-thousand men, all of his Friends are worried find Bread and hurry Five loaves and fish, what can he Wish, he's praying still he's Saying "God feed them all" Chorus: Could he be the Messiah? Miracle man, part of the plan Could he be the Messiah? Life in his hand I understand he could be... Meet for our needs fully he Feeds our hunger older and younger Twelve baskets more Can we ignore, he shows us that he Knows us, is he the Christ? (Chorus) (Repeat Chorus) It is he the Messiah! Miracle man, part of the plan It is he, the Messiah! Life in his hand I understand it is he (repeat chorus)
If your kids/grand-kids ever ask you "mom, dad, what was Christian music like in the 80's?" I think this is your go-to video. But, yeah, I loved it back then too. Of course, I used to think Jesus was so happy to have all these songs written about him. But now I think he'd choose "Imagine" as his favorite song.
@fatherman73 From the mid 80's to early 90's, it was common practice for most artists who have very layered backing vocals in the studio to pre-record "live" backing vocals for concerts. They ARE performing live, but there IS a tape of the the backing vocals they recorded playing during the chorus. Listen to it again. Michael's voice is one of the backing vocal parts. Every artist did it. I know this because I worked with a lot of the artists helping them do such a thing.
This live performance is so close to recording studio quality that I had to watch and listen closely just to confirm that it was actually live. Man! You just rarely find that in a live recording. And they spared no piece of the orchestration. Everything is there. Still not totally convinced that they're not lip syncing to a recording
In my teen years I used to listen to the most vilest and wicked music.That music was heavy metal ,which truly is spawned from the very gates of hell.I am glad that the LORD God is who he is .The light of the LORD pierces the darkness.Satan has enslaved so many people with lies. But the devil is defeated and he knows it. Bless the King of kings and the Lord of Lords: the Lord Jesus Christ.Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.
Satan doesnt spawn any type of music. Heavy metal is no more vile than any other. Bands like Stryper and others provided a hard rock/ metal sound with wholesome lyrics and Godly themes. Its the message of the music, not the genre that is sinful.
I like Micheal W Smith and his music. After discovering Christianity is not true, I got rid of all my books, my Bible and anything else to do with the Faith. I kept my 2 tapes I had of his music and still have them.
Glad you still like his early music. When I started out with some Christian Music there were some absolutely horrible artists and some were even homophobic, do it my way or you are going to hell, and just lots of complete opposite of what true Christianity is about. So I can see your point. Lots of great music still out there from Christian artists and some crap.. I am still a Christian and found a great non-denominational church that hates religion. Hope your journey goes well.
why can,t he wear shorts?? its not like they where wearing long pants in the bible-days. and its never mentioned in the bible neither. its very right to wear short pants when your a drummer, you need all the movement you can get, a drummer uses his whole body to play the music, hands and feet are both equally needed. so yeah some shorts for optimum movement and it keeps him better cooled. playing the drums is one of the most fysical demanding way of making music.
I gave my heart and soul to Jesus Christ himself Amen
Just read about the Samaritan woman at the well. Lord, give us this living water. Fill us with your Spirit.

Jennifer Pruitt this was from his first LP
Wow. I haven't heard this one since I was in elementary school. I love this song. Thanks for posting!
Wow. Michael is playing the ultra rare Yamaha DX1.

COULD BE THE MESSIAH
Been here for days, I'm amazed
At this teacher, carpenter, preacher
Lost in the crowd. I hear him now
He's praying and he's saying
"God feed them all"
Five-thousand men, all of his
Friends are worried find
Bread and hurry
Five loaves and fish, what can he
Wish, he's praying still he's
Saying "God feed them all"
Chorus:
Could he be the Messiah?
Miracle man, part of the plan
Could he be the Messiah?
Life in his hand
I understand he could be...
Meet for our needs fully he
Feeds our hunger older and younger
Twelve baskets more
Can we ignore, he shows us that he
Knows us, is he the Christ?
(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
It is he the Messiah!
Miracle man, part of the plan
It is he, the Messiah!
Life in his hand
I understand it is he
(repeat chorus)
WOW ! I ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG! This was one of my first introductions to the world of CCM! I LOVE SMITTY!
MAN I STILL LOVE HIS OLD STUFF PRAYFULL I HOPE THAT MICHAEL & ANY GRANT WILL DO THIS AGAIN, SOMEDAY SOON

Still gives me chills!

Greetings from Brazil!
MAN I STILL HIS OLD STUFF, PRAYFULL HEM AND AMY GRANT WILL DO SSOME OLD STUFF TODAY
Me too! His new stuff is too polished. His old stuff rocks. Totally eighties but for Jesus. Awesome song.

I love how the people are relentlessly clapping over the 5/4 time section in 4/4. (I know it's nerdy for me to notice!)
Nah...It just means you’re a good musician
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed...lol
big pic tour? i went to that tour in arlington, tx...great stuff
This was the tour before, I believe.
Sensacional estes videos, são históricos, os melhores de MWS, the best, e cadê esta banda toda????
Saudades deste som...

Was that Gary Huff doing the guitar licks?
09-24, this song more poignant due to Mr. Joseph Berger & the Yanuka.
Great Adventure, New Jersey?
@Koudoawaia
Glad you're glad!
Wayne Kirkpatrick looks so young here LOL
You are welcome!
it was 1985. they were avant garde for ALOT of church groups
it's called the guitarist makes the guitar solo finale? is what this guitar with yellow.
Vini Castro Coherence_Life_Style That is the great Chris Rodriguez on the guitar.
Não seria Chris Rodrigues? (Could he be Chriz Rodriguez?)
o.o

Then you might like "I miss the way"
Christianity is true and is alive in this mans music and lyrics. I still think he is one of the best christian singers.
@@BUTLERNIXON ... and what church would that be? I genuinely would like to know.
OK, what's the deal with the drummer's shorts? it just ain't right for being on stage.
why can,t he wear shorts?? its not like they where wearing long pants in the bible-days.
and its never mentioned in the bible neither.

It was the style back then
Things were different in 1985 😄
@@awg40k27 Agreed but I think she means that it looks awkward style wise 😄😄
Smitty’s jacket looks interesting too, but right in style for 1985. Miami Vice era!
Poop
songs are great, voice i never liked - sounds like a nasal chipmunk.
