I used to play this CD every morning, I got saved from being an atheist/Satanist… this album made such a HUGE impact on my life that I genuinely believe that on that day… we will meet, and I can say thank you! That may sound corny but don’t care. It’s true… thank you!!
If you turned into a Atheist you wouldn't believe in being a Satanist , Atheist don't believe in anything either, God or Satan anything that's not based in scientific facts and stone cold, reason and reality, please get your facts straight, before making a simplistic, foolish, statement.
@@zharapatterson cool, thanks for telling me what I personally believed. It’s honestly ridiculous that you are trying to troll me on this point. Especially since, and I say this with all genuine compassion here, you don’t know what you are talking about. The reality of the issue is that a Satanist, as in a member of the Church of Satan doesn’t believe in the actual creature of Satan. The teachings of Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan (which you clearly don’t understand) did not worship Satan as the Christian embodiment of evil or even as an existing being. Instead, LaVey taught that “His Infernal Majesty” was a symbol of humanistic values. So before you criticize me or anyone else for that matter I might recommend understanding what you are saying. One can absolutely be an atheist and a Satanist. Now I don’t recommend either quite frankly, but that is the reality. I’m happy to discuss this more with you if you want. But I didn’t want to leave this comment unanswered since it is a very common misconception.
Absolutely agree, these guys were just above almost every band musically and lyrically back then. What happened? What is going on within Christian music since? Let's all pray for Kevin, breaks my heart.
Agreed, I heard this the first time today on Christian radio and my Spirit man and ears was immediately drawn to the smoothness and words to this song . Well arranged. Hope this group is still making Christian music.
So much depth and variety in the 1960s - 1990s... too limited in the 2020s, fewer choices... Bring back more bands & styles ! :-D Can't forget the the real golden oldies either ! :-) ruclips.net/video/kQ-I-VQsvko/видео.html
I was a huge dc talk fan as a teenager and loved, loved this song. But over the years i stopped listening to them. Now I'm almost thirty, my mom recently passed away, and I began to struggle with some old addictions and demons from my past. A few weeks ago i came across my old cd with between you and me and hardway. As i listened I finally understood it. I listen to nothing else now because their music gives me hope. I'm far from perfect, but this song put things in perspective. So thanks guys
Let us all lift Kevin Max of DC Talk. His faith is being under attack. Holy Spirit, please fill Kevin with The Holy Spirit and deliver him from all doctrines of demons. In Yeshua's Mighty Name. Amen.
Micah Cease you were born in 2001? Wow, I was born in 89 I believe. And I spent my childhood days in the 90s. Where television set was barely available in my country. My country is undeveloped. It is like the USA of how the government is except it is only the opposite. My country does not have kinda half the things the US has. But the US has got quite some advantages while I have and am living here for 18 years. Now I am a fully grown adult.
You may have been born again in 2001 and missed good Christian Music like this but at least you were born again and that’s what matters most. By the way I was born again in 2001 as well but had a friend down the street from high school that leant me the album called free at last by DC Talk and that’s how I got my first taste of Christian music and what a good group to listen to in DC Talk. It was my good friend from down the street trying to spread the message of Jesus Christ and so many years later it worked as it was in the mid 90’s when there Jesus Freak album.
I am not Christian, believe in God, but beliefs aside, this is my #1 favorite Christian band of all time. Been known to sing along to Jesus Freak at work, while stocking. Coworkers look at me weird but I don't care.
This song has carried me for the past 25 years … throughout the journeys I’ve had all over the world … on buses, planes, and trains .. in the most difficult times in my life .. Because my Christian cousin gave me it on casettte tape … and it has meant the🌍 to me ♥️
I did not know this was a Christian song for a long time. I just thought it was a positive song that I liked. It was played on a regular rock station here back in the 90s.
YES! I was 14 when this album came out. Flannel shirts over t-shirts, v-neck sweaters, light-colored jeans, crazy old red-headed ladies twirling in laundromats, skinny crack-head-like dudes crouched writing in corners... good times. (I kid - I really loved this album. I still have the CASSETTE. My brother gave it to me for Christmas - and within an hour of him giving it to me - he was in a car accident and died. I will cherish that tape always.)
I agree! I remember listening to Kiss-FM, our local top 40 station and they would play Notorious B.I.G. and then they would play THIS song :-) good time for music
If You Fall Down One Million Times...Get Up One Million and One with God's Help...Just Askem He Won't Turn You Down....God Bless Everyone this Day....God I am FULLFILLED...Thanks.....
Ok so the box represents hidden sins, the creepy lady represents guilt that follows you around and always tries to remind you of them. The dudes chasing him are religous people, the devil, the world, and anyone who wishes to expose your sins, flaws, and past. The homeless people represent angels that intervene to get the devil and his crowd from catching you in your sins and these angels (homeless people) help lead you to a place of rest where you can be washed clean (laundry mat) and finally leave your sins at the cross (trash can), where they are gone forever and no one else can see them (end). Then we see the walk of freedom from a saved soul.
Me too, Susan. Inspiring and awesome to hear you say that--the Lord used these guys and their amazing talent to bring me to Himself as a teenager, in 2009. I'm also glad that love remains strong!!! PTL!!
I love this group 15 years back off heroin and Coke something was lost in my walk with God that's what I'm noticing get ready to meet your God is Christ deliver me of heroin and Coke 15 years ago and anybody that is playing with addiction put it down cuz you can beat it I disabled vet too and I walk on water everyday
I'm glad you're not an addict anymore. And I certainly love this song. That being said we have to accept. That God. Does not exist. It's a fantasy that helps us through hard times.👍
I had no idea this was a Christian song. Wonderful lyrics and sound. Even 20 years later. It has even more meeting now in this crazy world. I wonder where they filmed the video. Reminds me of a laundromat in San Diego.
It's like it was yesterday for me in 1995. I was 16 at the time when I first heard this song on the radio and instantly fell in love with it. It would become my favorite DC Talk song of all time. Still is. Words can't even describe what it was like to listen to and be able to appreciate their music during the mid nineties. A very special time in history for me. Wish beyond belief that I could go back. I'm very encouraged to hear the next generation share their love for them. Hope for a reunion always. I love worshiping God, but I just haven't connected with much of the somewhat generic "praise and worship" Christian music of the last 10 years. Nothing for me will match DC Talk, Original Newsboys (Shine) and Audio Adrenaline (Can't Take God Away) as well as Jars of Clay (Flood & Overjoyed). Can't forget one of the founders of CCM, Michael W. Smith (Place In This Word). He was the first Christian artist I got into during the mid-80's. Of course have to mention my childhood crush Amy Grant, haha. Listen to El Shaddai by her. Beautiful song. Timeless. Never stop sharing the great CCM music from the late 80's/90's with others. Pure talent. In Christ :)
+David Dickson I agree. I think I stumbled onto CCM right as it was exploring a rockier and more alternative aspect of music without adopting anything generic from mainstream culture. Jesus Freak, Take Me To Your Leader, and Bloom were some of the first albums that truly impacted me as an individual. Its still so good, and I just can't find anything quite like it today.
Hey Curtis, I like the way you describe the changing tide that Christian music was taking during this time of the early to mid nineties. I agree that for me as well, nothing that has come out since this era is quite like it. I remember vividly the impact it had on me too. I felt that the direction CCM was taking then was a great one for the time. 'Take me to your leader' is also my favorite Newsboys album. Thanks for your comment. Nice to talk with someone who connects with this music as much as I do. Cheers!
Oh my goodness. Whenever I'm struggling, with ME most of the time, I always go back to this song. Confession needs to be made. I just love the *intensity* of that thought...want to get it straight before the sun goes down...The HS is talking to me, letting me know things need to be confessed so that God, the Holy Father, will give me forgiveness, which I don't deserve but through His mercy am granted (1 John 1:9). He is faithful.
Everyone says it's a bible in the box...but I always just thought it represented the dude's sins, and the _whole_ song is talking about confession. In the extended version, it's clear its a person's conversation with the Lord, asking for forgiveness. So I think the box represents leaving his troubles behind, confessing his faults, and moving on in Christ.
Do you know what's this? It's not sins, it's human treasure: life and all with it. The guy has cherished his life, then just threw it in to garbage: 7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith… (Philippians 3:7-9)
When I was 9 or 10 I got this CD and this song had such a visceral impact on me, I wanted so badly in my heart to live this out to my freinds and family. To always be truthful and honest, so that there would be nothing between me and my closest of kin. Just wanted to please the lord. And the songs on this album inspired such things as honesty, seeking after love and righteousness. One of the best Christian albums ever made.
Sorrow is a lonely feeling Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both For far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling With my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away Just between you and me I've got something to say Wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom now Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land, oh I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends, yeah So I'm sorry for The words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We've got a love That's worth preserving And a bond I will defend Just between you and me I've got something to say Wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom Just between you and me I've got something to say In my pursuit of God I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son I must consider this Offenses unresolved Will keep me from the throne Before I go to Him My wrong must be atoned If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel this pride away Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa Just between you and me I've got something to say Wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom I've got something to say So let me say it today It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom I've got something to say Confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom I've got something to say Confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom I've got something to say
The box reminded me of like a Pandora box full of havoc. Our problems; our lives are pure confusion before we ultimately surrender our lives to Jesus Christ.
DC Talk will always be my favorite christian pop group because they had songs about girls and looking for the right person for a relationship. I always thought that was cool.
One of my favourite songs off the album! Brings back my youth in a split second. I know how I was feeling back then. Broken hearted yet comforted by Jesus...
DC talk has put out a lot of masterpieces. These guys are extremely talented and they used their musical talents for good things. But they live long prosperous lives into the age 100. They deserve to have everything they work for
Thanks DC Talk, I have been listening to your songs since I reborn in Christ in 1994! My sentiments about your son's death, dear brother Toby Mac, but we certainly know that he rests in God's hands!
I love this song found it accidentley years ago while changing stations and heard this ,, I immediatley went out and bought the cd and still have it ..such a awesum song and damn the blonde guy is super hot :)
Ces Ral I ABSOLUTELY agree! This is by far one of the best bass lines in any song! If you could learn the line note by note and be able to play it live you'd have one of the best covers of this song bar none. Most people just learn the simple chords to get the main theme of the song but the bass line is ESSENTIAL to getting this song right. I'd love to hear more songs with the bass by "Sugar Bear"
This bass line is so characteristic of Jackie Street - the way he delays, then introduces half beat notes. Then it is very precise on what notes are played and the exact timing. I wont be surprised if it is him, and almost always has an outro at the end. PS: His name is on the album credits.
One of my favorite songs! Takes me back when Christians were bold and strong in there faith. What happened? They strayed to be like the world! The End is near, Repent
Addictive song,I have heard it a long time ago gosh the 90's,never knew who sung this. I love the Miss Havisham Great Expectation" character in the laundromat
DC talk really hit me at strong points in my faith with feeling with Jesus Freak feeling outside of things . Interested in more to this message. I not so much any longer feel like there are so few like me. Soon hope to post a picture soon so more realize me as really me. I have changed in so many ways
Rick C and Savannah. They had a minor crossover hit in 1991 with "Jesus is still alright", but this was their only major secular success. Another great song was "Minds eye".
In order to have more mainstream songs like this, they would have had to have recorded some. They never again did a song with this kind of sound. I'm not talking about lyrics, really more the sound.
I'm going through an important part of my life right now with my faith getting stronger. My relationship with God is getting closer and stronger. I'm beginning to really feel like I'm becoming ready to open up and share with him. I've been hearing this song playing in my head often lately when I'm thinking about my relationship with God and being able to confide in him. I just played this song on my phone and it's really helping me.
I don't want any of my brothers or sisters to be lost and I pray if any have lost sight of their faith and have gone astray, may the LORD speak to your heart. And may those of us who are faithful gently lead the lost to Jesus Christ. Amen.
''In my pursuit of God I thirst for holiness, As I approach the Son I must consider this, Offenses unpreserved will keep me from the throne, Before I go to him my wrong must be atoned''
It's all about God lifting us up through Christ by the power of the Holy spirit........EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHT, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY SECOND....PERIOD!
People who have Never had an One on One encounter with Jesus really won't know the difference between religion and relationship with Jesus cause Jesus is Life!! and religion is slow agonizing death, masquerading around as life but all it does is bind you to formality and man's tradition which Jesus came to set us free from our sin.
Heard this back in 2002 and never looked back, its always been one of my favourites when things get rough and I just need to relax and vibe. Thanks for adding to my life's soundtrack. :)
I used to play this CD every morning, I got saved from being an atheist/Satanist… this album made such a HUGE impact on my life that I genuinely believe that on that day… we will meet, and I can say thank you! That may sound corny but don’t care. It’s true… thank you!!

Song is 20 years old and I still like it more than anything in the radio now
I agree, most songs on top 10 radio don't send the message as much as this song did.
back 20 yrs ago.
that is the magic of DC Talk. Their music has universal appeal long after it is new. I saY YEAH...REUNION COMIN SOON!!! Still my all time fav + band.
It is that way for all DC talk's tunz. Know them by
Got that right! Produced a massive talent in the Lord in Mr. Mac, Michael, and Kevin...everyone waiting for that reunion now. Sky's the limit!
Ricky Blanchette Awesome
This song is timeless. Smooth groove with a good clean message. Above and far beyond most of the drivel released today
Absolutely agree, these guys were just above almost every band musically and lyrically back then. What happened? What is going on within Christian music since? Let's all pray for Kevin, breaks my heart.

11 years later even
I miss the Christian music of the nineties, and I was born in 2001!
Hahaha. You guys rock! Thanks for appreciating the music of my generation. Hahaha. :D
Micah Cease I wish you could have experienced it. Golden era.
What an era this as, the late 70s to the early 2000s was perhaps the greatest era in CCM.
Micah Cease you were born in 2001? Wow, I was born in 89 I believe. And I spent my childhood days in the 90s. Where television set was barely available in my country. My country is undeveloped. It is like the USA of how the government is except it is only the opposite. My country does not have kinda half the things the US has.

The 90's were great. Simpler times. No smart phones, no Netflix, had to go to blockbuster, people bought albums instead of downloading, etc.
the 1990s, a strange time when even Christian pop music somehow mysteriously became mainstream.
This is such a good song!

I agree! I remember listening to Kiss-FM, our local top 40 station and they would play Notorious B.I.G. and then they would play THIS song :-) good time for music
Nothing mysterious about it, DC Talk had the talent and ambition which lead to this crossover hit.

Congrats on the huge achievement and thank you for your service..
I'm glad you're not an addict anymore.
And I certainly love this song. That being said we have to accept. That God. Does not exist. It's a fantasy that helps us through hard times.👍

Do you know what's this? It's not sins, it's human treasure: life and all with it. The guy has cherished his life, then just threw it in to garbage:
7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith…
(Philippians 3:7-9)
I've always thought that, too. I never even realized people interpreted it differently than that.
Mix Seal's tone and Boyz II Men's sync = this sound right here. Nice!
When I was 9 or 10 I got this CD and this song had such a visceral impact on me, I wanted so badly in my heart to live this out to my freinds and family. To always be truthful and honest, so that there would be nothing between me and my closest of kin. Just wanted to please the lord. And the songs on this album inspired such things as honesty, seeking after love and righteousness. One of the best Christian albums ever made.
Come on - what is in that box!!! Music I listened to when I became christian - and it keeps talking to me ever since
I remember being so excited when this got played on the mainstream radio where I lived!
So prophetic! God, awaken us with REVIVAL FIRE! HOLY SPIRIT, MOVE ACROSS THIS PLANET.
One of my favourite bands and I'm 55 years old.
Here is something cool for you. My mom is 65 and she loves these guys too.
And I’m 68 and still rockin to DC Talk!
Cool man! And I'm 45 year-old man from Brazil and I simply love DC Talk' s songs, especially this one!
Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place
I've lived with both
For far too long now
Since we've parted ways
I've been wrestling
With my conscience
And I found myself to blame
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel my pride away
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom now
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
If confession is the road to healing
Forgiveness is the promised land, oh
I'm reaching out in my conviction
I'm longing to make amends, yeah
So I'm sorry for
The words I've spoken
For I've betrayed a friend
We've got a love
That's worth preserving
And a bond I will defend
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
In my pursuit of God
I thirst for holiness
As I approach the Son
I must consider this
Offenses unresolved
Will keep me from the throne
Before I go to Him
My wrong must be atoned
If there's to be any resolution
I've got to peel this pride away
Ooh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Just between you and me
I've got something to say
Wanna get it straight
Before the sun goes down
Just between you and me
Confession needs to be made
Recompense is my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
So let me say it today
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
Confession needs to be made
It's my way to freedom
It's my way to freedom
I've got something to say
always loved this song
henryandneo
freedom in Christ
the best 💘
Very good
Thank you
Such a relaxing, easy-going song. My problems just melt away for awhile and I go into this dream zone of a song.
The box reminded me of like a Pandora box full of havoc. Our problems; our lives are pure confusion before we ultimately surrender our lives to Jesus Christ.
9/17/23 amazing song!!! Never gets old. And the singers are fun to look at too lol😂
I never even knew what these guys looked like. Wow were they gorgeous. Great 90s song that crossed over with Jars of Clay's "Flood."
DC Talk will always be my favorite christian pop group because they had songs about girls and looking for the right person for a relationship. I always thought that was cool.
The meaning of this song is priceless still listening to this after all the years
One of my favourite songs off the album! Brings back my youth in a split second. I know how I was feeling back then. Broken hearted yet comforted by Jesus...
Amen. ❤❤
DC talk has put out a lot of masterpieces. These guys are extremely talented and they used their musical talents for good things. But they live long prosperous lives into the age 100. They deserve to have everything they work for
Confession is the road to freedom
Confession is the road to abyss
Денис Яковенко Depends on who you are confessing to....
I say "Amen" to the confession is the road to abyss.
This song STILL gives me chills. I picked up the single cassette at Sam Goody's back in the Fall of 1996... Still have it!!
I bought the CD single at Walmart. I still have it.
It's 2023 and I love it more than ever !!!!! IT IS TIMELESS !!!!
Jesus appeared to me as a child. I used to call him hippie man and sing it up and down the hall. I had an abusive childhood. So he was there for me.
Believe it or not this song used to get a lot of airplay on our local Pop/Top 40 radio station when it was released.
GOD IS NOT OF THIS WORLD WE ARE THE ONLY ALIENS HERE😜 GOD BLESS Y'ALL IN JESUS' NAME DC TALK!
The Beatles of Christian music.
Absolutely love DC Talk! The Harmony of their voices and words of the songs are always so Awesome!
Every song on DC Talk’s Jesus Freak feels like a pure expression of the divine.
Preparing for the feast of Christmas and the birth of Our Lord. listening to this inspiring song on my i pod.
I have a confession to make. Still listen to this song after 25 years.
They took two Seal songs (Prayer for the Dying and Crazy), merged them together, and came up with the best song of 1996. Great song, baws.
Pete Pyeatt it really does sound like "Crazy".
When I heard this song for the first time in high school I thought it was seal. I was stoked to learn DC talk had made this song mainstream.
This song randomly popped in my head, and I haven't listen to the song in soo long!
Thanks DC Talk, I have been listening to your songs since I reborn in Christ in 1994! My sentiments about your son's death, dear brother Toby Mac, but we certainly know that he rests in God's hands!
No sabía que había muerto. Gracias por su información
May you and your family be comforted knowing he is the loving arms of Our Heavenly Father!
Being Blessed by your Creator, Makes you High Value. Nothing else.
Pure nostalgia!
I miss these music. I miss these Christian band!
WHO IS LISTENING THIS AMAZING GROUP IN 2033?
July 4thh 2024 Manny Suarez here Jesus Christ lives forever and ever and shell never again see death he reigns forever and ever praise u Lord 😊😊😊
I love this song found it accidentley years ago while changing stations and heard this ,, I immediatley went out and bought the cd and still have it ..such a awesum song and damn the blonde guy is super hot :)
this song is timeless
Always LOVED the bass line. I don't know who played bass on this track but it's sick brah!
Otto "Sugar Bear" Price I believe ^_^
And I agree, one of my fave bass lines of all time
Ces Ral I ABSOLUTELY agree! This is by far one of the best bass lines in any song! If you could learn the line note by note and be able to play it live you'd have one of the best covers of this song bar none. Most people just learn the simple chords to get the main theme of the song but the bass line is ESSENTIAL to getting this song right. I'd love to hear more songs with the bass by "Sugar Bear"
This bass line is so characteristic of Jackie Street - the way he delays, then introduces half beat notes. Then it is very precise on what notes are played and the exact timing. I wont be surprised if it is him, and almost always has an outro at the end. PS: His name is on the album credits.
Yesss! That bass line is KILLER!!! I loved it back then, and I love it now!
For real!!! Ive thought that since i was old enough to notice. Awesome!!! i love the extended version where it really showcases the bass.
I remember I was 13 when this song was released. I didn't realize the meaning of it until many years later.
Best DC Talk song from the best DC Talk album
One of my favorite songs! Takes me back when Christians were bold and strong in there faith. What happened? They strayed to be like the world! The End is near, Repent
Addictive song,I have heard it a long time ago gosh the 90's,never knew who sung this. I love the Miss Havisham Great Expectation" character in the laundromat
DC talk really hit me at strong points in my faith with feeling with Jesus Freak feeling outside of things . Interested in more to this message. I not so much any longer feel like there are so few like me. Soon hope to post a picture soon so more realize me as really me. I have changed in so many ways
Message to this. Not so much consider myself a freak of sorts anymore due to God the Heavenly Father
DC Talks only song to go anywhere in the secular world. I think it topped out at like 26th on the top 40. They deserved more songs in the mainstream.
Rick C and Savannah. They had a minor crossover hit in 1991 with "Jesus is still alright", but this was their only major secular success.
Another great song was "Minds eye".
In order to have more mainstream songs like this, they would have had to have recorded some. They never again did a song with this kind of sound. I'm not talking about lyrics, really more the sound.
I thought the song " The Hardway" , should have been the equally as big cross over from DC Talk..
I'm going through an important part of my life right now with my faith getting stronger. My relationship with God is getting closer and stronger. I'm beginning to really feel like I'm becoming ready to open up and share with him. I've been hearing this song playing in my head often lately when I'm thinking about my relationship with God and being able to confide in him. I just played this song on my phone and it's really helping me.
God bless everyone who still listens to my homies DC Talk.
This song, along with Colored People, are the messages the world needs right now. DC Talk...way ahead of their time. Amazing 25 years later.
So young and beautiful. Beautifully written song. I had the best young adulthood.#quarantinelistening❤️
I don't want any of my brothers or sisters to be lost and I pray if any have lost sight of their faith and have gone astray, may the LORD speak to your heart. And may those of us who are faithful gently lead the lost to Jesus Christ. Amen.
Great crossover hit from the 90s. I remember hearing this on top 40 radio stations.
2019 and still jammin this amen
nightmare69 metal matt Oh yeah it's a jam excellent beat to the song.😇😇😇😇🎵🎵🎵🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸
This Playlist just brought back a lot of good memories of all the church youth conferences in cali
I've been wrestling with my conscience!!!!! Great song
''In my pursuit of God I thirst for holiness, As I approach the Son I must consider this, Offenses unpreserved will keep me from the throne, Before I go to him my wrong must be atoned''
LOVE that extended version!!!
Great testimony of the relationship between us and Jesus the God-Man! Blessed!
This sounds like the best of Duran Duran. It has this touch of immediate, indefinite nostalgia.
It's all about God lifting us up through Christ by the power of the Holy spirit........EVERY DAY, EVERY NIGHT, EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY SECOND....PERIOD!
I remember this song when I played on MTV Brasil in 1996..I love this song..and I will always listen,,
Jesus Reigns!!! 💜💛
Good sounding song, I still have this single on CD in storage, I really miss the 90's sometimes!
People who have Never had an One on One encounter with Jesus really won't know the difference between religion and relationship with Jesus cause Jesus is Life!! and religion is slow agonizing death, masquerading around as life but all it does is bind you to formality and man's tradition which Jesus came to set us free from our sin.
I teared up watching this, Thinking about how GOOD everything was back in the early 90's...DAMN I miss those days!!!
Wow, this is real Christan music here. DC Talk will be missed...
🌸I forgot how very much I love this song. Haven’t heard it for a long time…..God has brought me back to where I NEED to be in 2022! ❤️
LOVE this song! 😊
You gotta love DC Talk one of favorite Christian bands
I love the way Kevin and Michael both look at the guy when he first sits down like "Is that a bomb, dude?" Lol
Hard to believe this song is almost 30 years old. Still brings back memories of my teenage years.
Heard this back in 2002 and never looked back, its always been one of my favourites when things get rough and I just need to relax and vibe. Thanks for adding to my life's soundtrack. :)
