As of Saturday July 9, 2016 I rededicate my life to the one who has saved me and died for my sins. I was born into Christianity but I was never interested or concerned for my faith. God was dead in my life all those years. For three years I turned to alcohol to solve all my problems. As of today I'm proud to say I am 4 months and counting of sobriety and as of Saturday I am proud to say that I am a fully faithful servant of the one who payed his life for mine.
"No one can take his life, he laid it down for me that twisted wreath of thorns, yeah he took that crown for me then after three days, out of the ground for me" That part always gives me goosebumps man.
Me Too Me Too Holy Spirit of GOD is saturated in their music. Hated to see them one last time on the " Farewell " tour but Mattie is called to deliver The Word Of GOD in other forms. I love listening to him. The Anointing of GOD is ever so present through him.
Nobody had the balls to bring Christ into metal, like they have. They may no longer be a band but I give them mad respect for standing on that stage and going against all the haters. I still listen to them till this day.
@@derekwallace9720 Just like Mattie said " when they get off that stage and back on the road, they live their lives for GOD endlessly". Not just a show like some.
Haste the day is another great metal band... check them out Will. not quite as to-the-core as "For today" but they have the same message and match their heaviness. I can Guarantee that these guys in "For today" have been inspired in some way by haste the day. Look up the "Pressure the Hinges" album by Haste The Day.
Kreedogger And nonetheless will bill ... they are certainly a Christian metal band.. I love Jesus with all my heart.. I had a supernatural experience with the holy spirit 2 and 1/2 years ago.. it opened my eyes in an instant as to who Jesus really, and truly, is after years of personal blasphemy and near total rejection. Praise be to my god.. the trinity is immaculate and it has the power to reach a soul even as lowly as mine was. Mark 13:5 was a major turning point for me.
Just started listening to this band today via suggestion of a friend, and I can honestly say that this is the best Christian metal band I have heard in a long time
Every time I listen to this song I want to burst out into tears. Jesus is awesome. He's the only one who can save us from evil. He gave his life for people like us. We didn't deserve that.
amy gill I disagree. Would YOU love some 20 yr metrosexual kid with ballhugger skinny jeans and girl hair screaming in your face? And don't say you would because I know an older woman like yourself would say 'hell no!'
If I were to ever get something tattooed upon myself, it would be the lyrics where it starts at ''it should have been me.....''. that verse is incredibly convicting.
I just don't get how people say "forget the religion and just listen to the music" when thats what all their music is about. Its where their music comes from. So how can you just forget about that? Just my opinion don't get all crazy.
In fact, they have agreed that if advancing the Kingdom of God ever stops being the focus and driving force for the band and its music, they will disband.
Crown Of Thorns We crown Him with a crown of thorns This is the end of a life That's been burdened for all that comes The suffering manifest glory Has come with the fullness of God King of Kings, beaten and broken down Why would He live like a servant King of Kings, they said there's no way down Why should He die like a slave The throne will be above The meek will inherit the earth The last will be first to inherit the earth I know down is the way up So Master show me how to serve The last will be first to inherit the earth It should have been me With the nails through my hands and feet Facing the wrath of God It should have been me Left to pay for my sin forsaken But in the blood I stand here It should have been me Born to die Before the fire of God's Holy wrath on his shoulders Born to die I watched Him pour out his life As he wakes up for us Man actually carried his cross on His back Beaten and bloody and I saw myself there too Cause I've been broken by a world that hates me But I'm not alone anymore No one can take His life He laid it down for me That twisted wreath of thorns He took that crown for me Then after three days pound up for ground for me He overcame it all Now I live to serve Him With stripes on his back Betrayed by the ones he loves so perfectly We spit in his face and we crowned Him We crown Him, with a crown of thorns
lyrics: We crown him with the crown of thorns. This is the end of a life that's been poured out for all mankind. In suffering, manifest glory has come at the fullness of time. King of kings, beaten and broken down, Why would He live like a servant? King of kings, descending lower now. Why should He die like a slave? The proud will be humbled, the meek will inherit the earth. The last will be first do inherit the earth. I know down is the way up, so master, show me how to serve. The last will be first do inherit the earth. It should have been me With the nails through my hand and feet, Facing the wrath of God. It should have been me, Left to pay for my sin, forsaken. But in the blood, I stand here. Born to die, He bore the fire of God's holy wrath on his shoulders. Born to die, I watched him pour out his life as a ransom for all. And as he carried his cross on his back, beaten and bloody, I saw myself there, too; because I've been broken by a world that hates me. But I'm not alone anymore. No one could take his life - he laid it down for me. That twisted wreath of thorns, he took that crown for me; then after three days, out of the ground for me, he overcame it all! Now I live to serve him. With stripes on his back, betrayed by the ones that he'd loved so perfectly, we spit in his face and we crowned him... We crown him with the crown of thorns
Perfect verse for that question.. "For God so LOVED the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 He used Jesus to show us how much He loved us.
***** Allah means god, its not the name of their god, allah and god are the exact same person, not trying to be a dick but you may wanna expand your knowledge of different religions and stuff dude lol
Just because God intervenes in our lives doesnt mean we dont have free will. You have to think, If He didn't Intervene then we would all be lost because he would have never sent His son to die for us! And if We didnt have Free Will then what would be the point of Him intervening if he is the one who controls our actions in the first place? The Lord lays out a path before us, but its up to US to choose, whatever it may be.. and He gives us this choice because He loves us.
I don't even believe in God. I am just a huge fan and have been since like 2009. But man he preaches in the live version, before the song, and every time I listen to it, I literally weep.
Ok so first of all I want to start by staying I'm 18 and pagan. Now with that out of the way, I just want to say that these guys do a fantastic job of creating music that they can stand by for their entire careers. The message in this song is incredible no matter what you believe and musically is one of the best songs that has come out in a while! This will be on repeat for days!
I hope your account is still active. I would love to explain anything that you may not have looked into about the Christ Yeshuah. I want you to know that God loves you, but cannot pardon a rebellious heart and there is no God beside Him. I pray that He will break your bondage and that you will humble yourself before the conquering King and repent of your misguided rebellions against Him and accept His sacrifice on our behalf. He is alive, death had no power because He was perfectly righteous. He is our only hope. We can be raised with Him, but we also have to lay down our lives like He did for us. I hope we can be fellow cross bearers.
Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life no comes to Father but through Him. As a former witch and pagan, I pray that you would come to know Jesus Christ. He loves you so much that He sacrificed Himself to save each and every one of us! ✝️🙏✝️
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 God is so good to us brother; I can face tomorrow BECAUSE my Savior LIVES!
I do agree on that "it should've been me," but at the same time we should still praise God that it wasn't us. God could've made it that way for us but instead he send his son to die on that cross.
Why is this band so good? Amazing metal, and even better, an extremely inspiring and sometimes even heart warming message about God? What more could I want in a band?
God tells us in the book of Acts that we have no right to judge who is clean and unclean. Our mission is to proclaim His name and preach His love to the lost souls that we came from. The apostles did not begin their sermons by insulting people, but proclaiming the miracle of Jesus Christ. If anyone tried to dispute them, they defended themselves peacefully, but there were no words of hatred exiting from any of the apostles mouths.
I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me" What true Christian faith ignores what Jesus says?
The son of man was lifted up, and like the bronze snake that saved the lights of the infected Israelites, he cured us of our evil and saved us from damnation. God is good!
+Oliver-Vic Carquinn But it's the truth. But also, you were shitty first with the whole people "denying the truth." As if YOU are the sole person to tell the entire world about reality and how the world works. Fuck you and your deceitful religion.
+AzazelZaphorOmega Wow, wow...How dare you? The intelligent ones are the people who realize that can't walk life alone. They trust in God to bring them comfort and JOY and make them stronger to carry on. Yeah so unintelligent right?
TwilightGalaxies Yeah pretty damn UNINTELLIGENT living your life on the basis of magical and invisible forces/beings. You might as well ask a magic 8 ball for advice before making critical life choices.
+AzazelZaphorOmega as a human, how do you know what is real and what is not? How do you know what is possible and what is impossible? You don't. If there is a God, which i strongly believe there is, you couldn't base his possibilities on all the earthly facts and laws of science, because he is above the earth and is all powerful.
There are many people that love Jesus that much. That they wouldn't want someone that is that pure of heart to go through something are horrid as He did. I would rather trade places than to sit and watch MY Jesus be tortured, mocked, spat on, and chastised for what who He was. But then in the end, even if I could trade places, my sacrifice would be nothing compared to His. But, it's the thought that counts. Ya dig?
I wouldn't know about missing out, because I have no fear of punishment, and I believe in God, my evidence, the impeccable design behind this beautiful earth we live upon, the evidence of spontaneous healing, and the fact that science could till this day never disprove Him
People have seen him. He was born as a man and lived among the world for 33 freaking years. Thousands gathered to hear his teachings and witness his miracles. I don't believe in shoving faith down peoples throats. Christians aren't supposed to be judgmental, but loving instead. It's a shame how Christians are generally thought of as hypocrites nowadays. No one is perfect.
It should have been me With the nails through my hands and feet Facing the wrath of God It should have been me Left to pay for my sin forsaken But in the blood I stand here It should have been me
Deveria ter sido eu quem foi crucificado, e não o santo de Deus, o homem sem pecado algum. Graças a Deus pela sua misericórdia e amor através do sacrifício de Jesus
O Songs of Moses! I'm instantly coping with this great song of mercy for the mourning..X( shoulder strugs!!!! The wise of this world know we did wrong but the Spirit of prophecy is the Belief in Jesus King of Kings. Amen for today!!!
"Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.And this is the way to have eternal life-to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began" John 17.
I'm not a Christian, but For Today has always provided me with good music. no matter what the preach, I enjoy thier music thoroughly. i hope i dont get hate for this, Thanks.
As a Christian who has fought battles with doubt and overcame doubt I just wish one thing we could stop fighting about who is right and who is wrong we all are allowed to believe what we choose and we dont need to call each other out on eachothers beliefs they are your beliefs no one can take that away from you so please dont start a war enough blood has been shed in the name of religions just let us all just enjoy some really good metal music and leave our beliefs where they belong with ourselves please?
We should not be ashamed of the gospel.... And even the bible says: Let them, who spread a different gospel than the gospel of Jesus Christ, be doomed.... and i think it's our job as christians to warn everybody, but even more important, show everyone the love that Jesus has for us, through our lives. I will not stay silent...
Rob van den Hoek Matthew 7:1-2 - "Do not judge, or you to will be judged. For the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and for the measure you use, will be measured against you." Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that none may boast." Romans 12:18 - "If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceable with all." Luke 6:31 "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them." Ephesians 4:29-32 - "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving on another, as God in Christ forgave you."
God also says lying, cheating, stealing,adultery, is sin and everyone has done at least one of those if not all. We all desperately need his forgiveness
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord ’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:2-12
Saying that there is no proof of such a god or even jesus is irrelevant, it would take away the whole essence of believing. Blessed be those who still believe and do not see
#IBlackOkay I'm not religious in anyway or form but absolutely love Metal, it does things people in the HipHop world are to scared or ashamed to do Speak About What Matter
It shouldn't have been anyone else but Jesus, because he is the one who saved us, our deliverer. It wasn't me, or dave from the donut shop, just Jesus, other wise, we would all be washed up at the hands of hell right now. So instead of saying it shouldve been me, just thank him for what he's already done
I agree. No matter what the person's sin is we are to love people first and foremost and pray for them not spread hatred and me being a Christian its a disgrace what westboro baptist church is doing. God loves everyone no matter the sin.
Jesus is the Truth the Life and the way man, today's the day of salvation the bible says, even if you didn't seek Jesus and you searched with all your heart for the truth about life and existence you will inevitably find Jesus, it happened to me, it has happened to many of us, God bless bro
Torragg ya well don't look at true authentic Christianity as a religion. Organized religion is from the devil. You and your personal relationship with Christ is what you truly need. Your faith in HIM is how your saved, not by works, not by being a good person, not by yourself, but by and through him.
Yeah this is what your missing out. So come be a christian and live the life of this hardcore and satisfying life. You'll be glad you did so. Find a local christian church and attend it with an open heart and give your life to jesus and you will not regret it i guarantee it!!! :-)
You will never be able to outright prove the existence of God to people who dont believe. Its called faith and He gave it to us all. When you start your car in the morning you have faith that it wont spontaneously combust. When you eat your lunch, you have faith that it is safe to eat. And when you go home you have faith that your house isnt burned to the ground. My God is great and my life is so blessed compared to others I know who had the same upbringing without knowing Jesus Christ my savior
I wrote this on another For today video and wanted to share my thoughts here too. Well... I own a garden and know a thing or two about biology... can someone explain where all the seeds of all the plants on the earth came from if not from God? Sun flowers only bring forth sunflowers so I know they don't evolve. Some may adapt but those plants are few and rare so please I need some genius to explain how the "big bang" or "evolution" brings forth all plant life on earth with actual facts and solid points if you just give me theories then that means you believe in something without seeing which is FAITH!!! And, if you have faith in the big bang or in evolution then it is just another man-made religion and shouldn't be taught in schools and the credit should go to the everlasting king of kings which the bible explains created ALL LIFE. And if he did then he is truth and if his word says there's a place called heaven and a place called hell then who are we to question the designer of life? please respond much love :) God bless
Id just like to point out that you know nothing of science. A scientific Theory is not just a suggestion, or a guess or anything. A Theory of science means the theory has plenty of supportive evidence, been peer reviewed, and explains things in detail. The only thing keeping i from bing "Fact" or "Law" is that there may be a few kinks.
But thats my point creation has excisted for millenia and now an idea with kinks is what they're teaching in schools. I love science but I see it differently, I dont try to use science to debunk God instead it proves that all things were created and science is the,dare I say, fingerprint of a God of order. Scientist have been looking to nature to make their designs but in order to copy a design there has to be an original designer. Even car tires are a copy of a specific frog that sticks to walls and such with tread on its little fingers. All things in nature fulfill their purpose and glorify God doing so and even the smallest organism fights to live only humanity gives up and gives in to perdition,addiction, and death.
Your implying that Creationism and the Bible dont have kinks? Even things that Christians believe and do contradict what the bible says. Do you have a Christmas tree in your home? If so, the Bible labels that a pagan practice and forbids it. Jesus was not born in December. Christmas is just the Christians excuse to have a holiday at the time many other religions do. The Bible states that shepherds were tending their herds the night of His birth, which means guarding them from Predators. as in large mammals...Tell me, what do large mammals do in the winter? They hibernate, nt go around hunting.
First of all I think its awesome were having this duscussion under a christian band's audio video called crown of thorns but I digress... the Bible doesnt mention christmas trees at all lol and yes the Romans tried to change their pagan celebrations into christian celebrations and keep them on the same dates yes I know Jesus wasnt born in december. One Im not a catholic for those same reasons I celebrate the birth of my savior everyday all year round and no I dont have a christmas tree eventho I dont think it saves or condenms. Thats where finding a relationship with Jesus starts to open your mind to the truth. That we dont even have a clue as to how the circuitry in most of our home appliances work or how the biology in us work and change every second,hour,day,month, qnd year or (some of us) how our cellphones even work yet we, after living short decades on this earth, pretend to know the inner workings of the universe. The Bible is God explaining the wonder that is humanity and how much he cares for us and his awesome glory which is all creation and then some an put it all as simply as possible in words we can all almost understand and even still we have a hard time understanding. But just out of curiosity tell me of one of these Biblical contradictions you have found cuz Ive been reading my whole life and have yet to find one so clearly you must read the Bible more than me.
Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins. Psalm 68:21 NIV bible.com/111/psa.68.21.NIV Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst. 1 Timothy 1:15 NIV bible.com/111/1ti.1.15.NIV
Anyone still listen too In the midst of lions? Well Guess what I just found out! Their rhythm guitarist is the new for today guitarist!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY! Two of my fav bands combined.
Glory be to God in the highest. He saved my soul and provided me with so much. Me and my 2 kids were homeless. I started consistently going to church, 3 weeks later I was able to get a new car, then the next day we were approved for an apartment. My church filled it with furniture. Then the day before yesterday I found out I have a sister. .. But I only know her first name. The story is so much longer but I wanted to share my testimony, well part of it
As of Saturday July 9, 2016 I rededicate my life to the one who has saved me and died for my sins. I was born into Christianity but I was never interested or concerned for my faith. God was dead in my life all those years. For three years I turned to alcohol to solve all my problems. As of today I'm proud to say I am 4 months and counting of sobriety and as of Saturday I am proud to say that I am a fully faithful servant of the one who payed his life for mine.
Congratulations dude. I don't even know you, but I'm really proud of you. Keep growing and growing in God. c':
+Christian Gonzales thank you very much man! I plan to thank you very much :3
Praise God bro! He still changing lives!
El Señor Jesús te bendiga y fortalezca tu vida y tu familia...Praise God,

Thank you Jesus for dying for our sins
finally god gave christian metalheads something
I can't agree any more with you😖! If it wasn't for god we will be dead and hell man😖!
Amen.

came here to listen to this song for easter.
It should have been me...
Praise be to the risen Lord Jesus Christ. His kingdom is forever.
Nicholas Luhmann Amen:)
AMEN
It shall also be me. 🙏 praise be
we need more bands like this in the metal community that can spread the message and still go hardcore
True
It a lot of band that Christian hard metal, and Christian heavy metal, and hard rock. But I agree the more the better bros.
Wolves at the gate is also really good
For Today & August Burns Red are the best christian bands ever
+RECON MEDIA The Devil Wears Prada?
"No one can take his life, he laid it down for me
that twisted wreath of thorns, yeah he took that crown for me
then after three days, out of the ground for me" That part always gives me goosebumps man.
Same
Me Too Me Too
Holy Spirit of GOD is saturated in their music. Hated to see them one last time on the " Farewell " tour but Mattie is called to deliver The Word Of GOD in other forms. I love listening to him. The Anointing of GOD is ever so present through him.
Idk if you will even read this.
If it didn't give goosebumps, thatd be worrisome.
HE OVERCAME IT ALL!!!!
The lyrics to this song will forever give me goosebumps. "It should have been me!"
Christianity and metal = awesome!!
+Greek Pro1 Christian metal = "edgy" mall core kids trying too hard.
+AzazelZaphorOmega And you're trying too hard at being a troll.
joe and all of you try WAY too hard to "believe" in and convince others of your obviously made up bullshit god.
AzazelZaphorOmega Regardless if you believe in God or not, it's still a kick ass song!
Greek Pro1 Well, that's purely subjective and point I absolutely disagree with because of lyrical content.
WHO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO MIX METAL AND CHRIST!! AMEN!! BRINGING GOOD TO A GENRE NOBODY THOUGHT COULD BE GOOD
You talking about the Christ Genre or what?
Amen!!!!!!!❤️
Nobody had the balls to bring Christ into metal, like they have. They may no longer be a band but I give them mad respect for standing on that stage and going against all the haters. I still listen to them till this day.
@@derekwallace9720
Just like Mattie said
" when they get off that stage and back on the road, they live their lives for GOD endlessly".
Not just a show like some.
This has always been music from heaven. The churcg rejected metal and rap.. which is why the enemy picked it up and perverted it.
Or many years I though metal could never be about The Lord. Thank god for showing me this band.
Haste the day is another great metal band... check them out Will. not quite as to-the-core as "For today" but they have the same message and match their heaviness. I can Guarantee that these guys in "For today" have been inspired in some way by haste the day. Look up the "Pressure the Hinges" album by Haste The Day.
Kreedogger And nonetheless will bill ... they are certainly a Christian metal band.. I love Jesus with all my heart.. I had a supernatural experience with the holy spirit 2 and 1/2 years ago.. it opened my eyes in an instant as to who Jesus really, and truly, is after years of personal blasphemy and near total rejection. Praise be to my god.. the trinity is immaculate and it has the power to reach a soul even as lowly as mine was. Mark 13:5 was a major turning point for me.
Amen!
Check out TheDeathInMe
Check out Gideon, i doubt you will be disapointed
"NOW I LIVE TO SERVE HIM!!!" gives me goosebumps...
No one can take His life, He laid it down for me.
I've heard this song at least forty times and that lyric just now hit me. God is so awesome!
I've never heard such a teeth gritting filthy breakdown with such a deep meaning at the same time. Face...melted
Just started listening to this band today via suggestion of a friend, and I can honestly say that this is the best Christian metal band I have heard in a long time
The Devil Wears Prada, is also good
Still a banger in 2023
2024 called. Still certified and true
this is pure Jesus metal
I love theses guys
Every time I listen to this song I want to burst out into tears. Jesus is awesome. He's the only one who can save us from evil. He gave his life for people like us. We didn't deserve that.
Immortal tbm meche muito comigo.
it does not matter how we praise GOD ITS THAT WE DO IN OUR OWN WAY
then we arein agreement just as long as we praise and glorify his HIS name
people tent to forget GOD LOVES ALL MUSIC MEANT TO PRAISE HIM
amy gill
I disagree. Would YOU love some 20 yr metrosexual kid with ballhugger skinny jeans and girl hair screaming in your face? And don't say you would because I know an older woman like yourself would say 'hell no!'
yes i would say hell no
you took what i said out of context
amy gill
I don't think I did. This band is horrible. This is not for the Lord.
"I am broken by a world that hates me", But He is worth giving everything to! I pray we all find conviction in this song, theists and atheists alike.
2:04 gives me chills every time.
If I were to ever get something tattooed upon myself, it would be the lyrics where it starts at ''it should have been me.....''. that verse is incredibly convicting.
I just don't get how people say "forget the religion and just listen to the music" when thats what all their music is about. Its where their music comes from. So how can you just forget about that? Just my opinion don't get all crazy.
In fact, they have agreed that if advancing the Kingdom of God ever stops being the focus and driving force for the band and its music, they will disband.

Crown Of Thorns
We crown Him with a crown of thorns
This is the end of a life
That's been burdened for all that comes
The suffering manifest glory
Has come with the fullness of God
King of Kings, beaten and broken down
Why would He live like a servant
King of Kings, they said there's no way down
Why should He die like a slave
The throne will be above
The meek will inherit the earth
The last will be first to inherit the earth
I know down is the way up
So Master show me how to serve
The last will be first to inherit the earth
It should have been me
With the nails through my hands and feet
Facing the wrath of God
It should have been me
Left to pay for my sin forsaken
But in the blood I stand here
It should have been me
Born to die
Before the fire of God's
Holy wrath on his shoulders
Born to die
I watched Him pour out his life
As he wakes up for us
Man actually carried his cross on His back
Beaten and bloody and I saw myself there too
Cause I've been broken by a world that hates me
But I'm not alone anymore
No one can take His life
He laid it down for me
That twisted wreath of thorns
He took that crown for me
Then after three days pound up for ground for me
He overcame it all
Now I live to serve Him
With stripes on his back
Betrayed by the ones he loves so perfectly
We spit in his face and we crowned Him
We crown Him, with a crown of thorns
lyrics:
We crown him with the crown of thorns.
This is the end of a life that's been poured out for all mankind.
In suffering, manifest glory has come at the fullness of time.
King of kings, beaten and broken down,
Why would He live like a servant?
King of kings, descending lower now.
Why should He die like a slave?
The proud will be humbled, the meek will inherit the earth.
The last will be first do inherit the earth.
I know down is the way up, so master, show me how to serve.
The last will be first do inherit the earth.
It should have been me
With the nails through my hand and feet,
Facing the wrath of God.
It should have been me,
Left to pay for my sin, forsaken.
But in the blood, I stand here.
Born to die,
He bore the fire of God's holy wrath on his shoulders.
Born to die,
I watched him pour out his life as a ransom for all.
And as he carried his cross on his back, beaten and bloody, I saw myself there, too; because I've been broken by a world that hates me.
But I'm not alone anymore.
No one could take his life - he laid it down for me.
That twisted wreath of thorns, he took that crown for me; then after three days, out of the ground for me, he overcame it all!
Now I live to serve him.
With stripes on his back, betrayed by the ones that he'd loved so perfectly,
we spit in his face and we crowned him...
We crown him with the crown of thorns
Thank you
Perfect verse for that question.. "For God so LOVED the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 He used Jesus to show us how much He loved us.
im not much of a religious person but this song always hits me right in the heart and makes me tear up from the powerful lyrics.
Jesus christ is lord of all.
Its so beautiful to see my brothers and sisters on such a genre of music
there is no GOD but Allah
and Muhammad is his last messenger
***** YESHUA HAMASHIACH
***** halla means God, my bro! It doesn't that it is another God... think about what you write
***** Allah means god, its not the name of their god, allah and god are the exact same person, not trying to be a dick but you may wanna expand your knowledge of different religions and stuff dude lol
Just because God intervenes in our lives doesnt mean we dont have free will. You have to think, If He didn't Intervene then we would all be lost because he would have never sent His son to die for us! And if We didnt have Free Will then what would be the point of Him intervening if he is the one who controls our actions in the first place? The Lord lays out a path before us, but its up to US to choose, whatever it may be.. and He gives us this choice because He loves us.
Still brings tears to my eyes
I don't even believe in God. I am just a huge fan and have been since like 2009. But man he preaches in the live version, before the song, and every time I listen to it, I literally weep.
bless you ohh love warriors for Christ...come together and do all you can to stand..
Ok so first of all I want to start by staying I'm 18 and pagan. Now with that out of the way, I just want to say that these guys do a fantastic job of creating music that they can stand by for their entire careers. The message in this song is incredible no matter what you believe and musically is one of the best songs that has come out in a while! This will be on repeat for days!
I hope your account is still active. I would love to explain anything that you may not have looked into about the Christ Yeshuah. I want you to know that God loves you, but cannot pardon a rebellious heart and there is no God beside Him. I pray that He will break your bondage and that you will humble yourself before the conquering King and repent of your misguided rebellions against Him and accept His sacrifice on our behalf. He is alive, death had no power because He was perfectly righteous. He is our only hope. We can be raised with Him, but we also have to lay down our lives like He did for us. I hope we can be fellow cross bearers.
Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life no comes to Father but through Him.
As a former witch and pagan, I pray that you would come to know Jesus Christ. He loves you so much that He sacrificed Himself to save each and every one of us!
✝️🙏✝️
Hearing them play this live at the canal club last night was the absolute Best. Pits were Psychotic
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 God is so good to us brother; I can face tomorrow BECAUSE my Savior LIVES!
I do agree on that "it should've been me," but at the same time we should still praise God that it wasn't us. God could've made it that way for us but instead he send his son to die on that cross.
I'm an atheist and I still like their music lol
+Wariiorr I guess it's just you and me here lol. Agnostic, but tomato, tomahto.
+Wariiorr I'm an atheist and I hate their music.
+AzazelZaphorOmega Don't stay on the fucking page than, moron
Goosebumps this whole song!!!! "It shoulda been me!"
God is the way, the truth, and the life!!! Trust in God, with God all things are possible!!!!!
This song ministers to the heart knowing he died in our place you can't help but feel thankful to the king of kings
He is risen
Why is this band so good? Amazing metal, and even better, an extremely inspiring and sometimes even heart warming message about God? What more could I want in a band?
God tells us in the book of Acts that we have no right to judge who is clean and unclean. Our mission is to proclaim His name and preach His love to the lost souls that we came from. The apostles did not begin their sermons by insulting people, but proclaiming the miracle of Jesus Christ. If anyone tried to dispute them, they defended themselves peacefully, but there were no words of hatred exiting from any of the apostles mouths.
I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me"
What true Christian faith ignores what Jesus says?
"Born to die!" I love that line. So powerful and strong.
I cried listening to this song text ... "... It should have been me..."
The son of man was lifted up, and like the bronze snake that saved the lights of the infected Israelites, he cured us of our evil and saved us from damnation. God is good!
2022 and this song is still bumping.
I hate how people don't pay attention to bands that have good morals like this one.
How does this not have 1M+ views?
+Oliver-Vic Carquinn More intelligent people aren't giving a shit.
+Oliver-Vic Carquinn But it's the truth. But also, you were shitty first with the whole people "denying the truth." As if YOU are the sole person to tell the entire world about reality and how the world works. Fuck you and your deceitful religion.
+AzazelZaphorOmega Wow, wow...How dare you? The intelligent ones are the people who realize that can't walk life alone. They trust in God to bring them comfort and JOY and make them stronger to carry on. Yeah so unintelligent right?
TwilightGalaxies Yeah pretty damn UNINTELLIGENT living your life on the basis of magical and invisible forces/beings. You might as well ask a magic 8 ball for advice before making critical life choices.
+AzazelZaphorOmega as a human, how do you know what is real and what is not? How do you know what is possible and what is impossible? You don't. If there is a God, which i strongly believe there is, you couldn't base his possibilities on all the earthly facts and laws of science, because he is above the earth and is all powerful.
There are many people that love Jesus that much. That they wouldn't want someone that is that pure of heart to go through something are horrid as He did. I would rather trade places than to sit and watch MY Jesus be tortured, mocked, spat on, and chastised for what who He was. But then in the end, even if I could trade places, my sacrifice would be nothing compared to His. But, it's the thought that counts. Ya dig?
I wouldn't know about missing out, because I have no fear of punishment, and I believe in God, my evidence, the impeccable design behind this beautiful earth we live upon, the evidence of spontaneous healing, and the fact that science could till this day never disprove Him
sick album art work, sicker song, sickest band.
Amazing song really love this band
People have seen him. He was born as a man and lived among the world for 33 freaking years. Thousands gathered to hear his teachings and witness his miracles. I don't believe in shoving faith down peoples throats. Christians aren't supposed to be judgmental, but loving instead. It's a shame how Christians are generally thought of as hypocrites nowadays. No one is perfect.
It should have been me
With the nails through my hands and feet
Facing the wrath of God
It should have been me
Left to pay for my sin forsaken
But in the blood I stand here
It should have been me
Deveria ter sido eu quem foi crucificado, e não o santo de Deus, o homem sem pecado algum.
Graças a Deus pela sua misericórdia e amor através do sacrifício de Jesus
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!
O Songs of Moses! I'm instantly coping with this great song of mercy for the mourning..X( shoulder strugs!!!! The wise of this world know we did wrong but the Spirit of prophecy is the Belief in Jesus King of Kings. Amen for today!!!
God didn't come from nothing. He is eternal. He has always been and always will be.
it really should have been me bros...
Yes it should have!! It should have also been me!!!
They have become even more epic!!
"Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him.And this is the way to have eternal life-to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth.I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began" John 17.
I'm not a Christian, but For Today has always provided me with good music. no matter what the preach, I enjoy thier music thoroughly. i hope i dont get hate for this, Thanks.
As a Christian who has fought battles with doubt and overcame doubt I just wish one thing we could stop fighting about who is right and who is wrong we all are allowed to believe what we choose and we dont need to call each other out on eachothers beliefs they are your beliefs no one can take that away from you so please dont start a war enough blood has been shed in the name of religions just let us all just enjoy some really good metal music and leave our beliefs where they belong with ourselves please?
We should not be ashamed of the gospel.... And even the bible says: Let them, who spread a different gospel than the gospel of Jesus Christ, be doomed.... and i think it's our job as christians to warn everybody, but even more important, show everyone the love that Jesus has for us, through our lives. I will not stay silent...

I love this band
Me too😎. Rock on!!!

God is real his presences forever changed me ive been reborn. I wish it was me on the cross :(
God also says lying, cheating, stealing,adultery, is sin and everyone has done at least one of those if not all. We all desperately need his forgiveness

“It should’ve been me” might be one of the best breakdowns in all of metal
"with stripes on his back and betrayed by the ones he loved perfecly we spit in his face and we crowned him" a line with a deep meaning about our sins
hallelujah
this is hard, AMAZING
He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the Lord ’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand. After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied ; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:2-12
Saying that there is no proof of such a god or even jesus is irrelevant, it would take away the whole essence of believing. Blessed be those who still believe and do not see
#IBlackOkay I'm not religious in anyway or form but absolutely love Metal, it does things people in the HipHop world are to scared or ashamed to do Speak About What Matter
Christian rap is more mainstream than any type of Christian rock especially metal.
+Kingston is undead Christian rap is so good though. if you can find real rappers that aren't afraid to show their talent you get down good mcs
+2PercentMusic I know, it's amazing
it realy should have been me
Hey guys, Mattie is preaching at my church on Monday April 8th, in Poteet Tx, at Hosanna Baptist Church at 7 pm. Love for y'all to be there!
They go really hard on this track. 🔥
I just discovered this band/song recently. So good! 🤘 🙏
it definitely shouldve been me.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
Yes it should have!!! It should have been me too!!!
Me too
It shouldn't have been anyone else but Jesus, because he is the one who saved us, our deliverer. It wasn't me, or dave from the donut shop, just Jesus, other wise, we would all be washed up at the hands of hell right now. So instead of saying it shouldve been me, just thank him for what he's already done
I agree. No matter what the person's sin is we are to love people first and foremost and pray for them not spread hatred and me being a Christian its a disgrace what westboro baptist church is doing. God loves everyone no matter the sin.
🤘 ✝️🖤
Is the picture moving for any of you? Or am I just going insane?? =S
Actually it is moving. Maybe not that noticeably but it is moving.
It's the effect the still picture produces, it is used a lot
Richard Christiani False... It's actually moving.
No, it's really boring and cliche. That seraphim has already been used by other HXC bands before.
I assure you if you truly come before God and say, "Lord show me that your w
Never knew it was possible for Metal to make you cry like a 2 year old......
I'm agnostic, but this is awesome!
Jesus is the Truth the Life and the way man, today's the day of salvation the bible says, even if you didn't seek Jesus and you searched with all your heart for the truth about life and existence you will inevitably find Jesus, it happened to me, it has happened to many of us, God bless bro
+infearxfaith16 w000t this is why i dont like religions.
Torragg ya well don't look at true authentic Christianity as a religion. Organized religion is from the devil. You and your personal relationship with Christ is what you truly need. Your faith in HIM is how your saved, not by works, not by being a good person, not by yourself, but by and through him.
infearxfaith16 Zzzz Seriously your name is shitty too. You put the name Religion to shame so shut the fuck up.
Torragg ...go home..
wow I'm a atheist but this is hard core as fuck
Yeah this is what your missing out.
So come be a christian and live the life of this hardcore and satisfying life.
You'll be glad you did so.
Find a local christian church and attend it with an open heart and give your life to jesus and you will not regret it i guarantee it!!!
:-)
if you want hardcore you do impending doom.....if you can handle it. they are Christian death core. many of my atheist friends like them
lol yea iv heard of them and lisaned to them i love there songs
skycraft360 yaassss, I love impending Doom!!
God never committed any atrocities , humans did though and still continue to today .
You will never be able to outright prove the existence of God to people who dont believe. Its called faith and He gave it to us all. When you start your car in the morning you have faith that it wont spontaneously combust. When you eat your lunch, you have faith that it is safe to eat. And when you go home you have faith that your house isnt burned to the ground. My God is great and my life is so blessed compared to others I know who had the same upbringing without knowing Jesus Christ my savior
I wrote this on another For today video and wanted to share my thoughts here too.
Well... I own a garden and know a thing or two about biology... can someone explain where all the seeds of all the plants on the earth came from if not from God? Sun flowers only bring forth sunflowers so I know they don't evolve. Some may adapt but those plants are few and rare so please I need some genius to explain how the "big bang" or "evolution" brings forth all plant life on earth with actual facts and solid points if you just give me theories then that means you believe in something without seeing which is FAITH!!! And, if you have faith in the big bang or in evolution then it is just another man-made religion and shouldn't be taught in schools and the credit should go to the everlasting king of kings which the bible explains created ALL LIFE. And if he did then he is truth and if his word says there's a place called heaven and a place called hell then who are we to question the designer of life? please respond much love :) God bless
You sir....Deserve an award....
Id just like to point out that you know nothing of science. A scientific Theory is not just a suggestion, or a guess or anything. A Theory of science means the theory has plenty of supportive evidence, been peer reviewed, and explains things in detail. The only thing keeping i from bing "Fact" or "Law" is that there may be a few kinks.
But thats my point creation has excisted for millenia and now an idea with kinks is what they're teaching in schools. I love science but I see it differently, I dont try to use science to debunk God instead it proves that all things were created and science is the,dare I say, fingerprint of a God of order. Scientist have been looking to nature to make their designs but in order to copy a design there has to be an original designer. Even car tires are a copy of a specific frog that sticks to walls and such with tread on its little fingers. All things in nature fulfill their purpose and glorify God doing so and even the smallest organism fights to live only humanity gives up and gives in to perdition,addiction, and death.
Your implying that Creationism and the Bible dont have kinks? Even things that Christians believe and do contradict what the bible says. Do you have a Christmas tree in your home? If so, the Bible labels that a pagan practice and forbids it. Jesus was not born in December. Christmas is just the Christians excuse to have a holiday at the time many other religions do. The Bible states that shepherds were tending their herds the night of His birth, which means guarding them from Predators. as in large mammals...Tell me, what do large mammals do in the winter? They hibernate, nt go around hunting.
First of all I think its awesome were having this duscussion under a christian band's audio video called crown of thorns but I digress... the Bible doesnt mention christmas trees at all lol and yes the Romans tried to change their pagan celebrations into christian celebrations and keep them on the same dates yes I know Jesus wasnt born in december. One Im not a catholic for those same reasons I celebrate the birth of my savior everyday all year round and no I dont have a christmas tree eventho I dont think it saves or condenms. Thats where finding a relationship with Jesus starts to open your mind to the truth. That we dont even have a clue as to how the circuitry in most of our home appliances work or how the biology in us work and change every second,hour,day,month, qnd year or (some of us) how our cellphones even work yet we, after living short decades on this earth, pretend to know the inner workings of the universe. The Bible is God explaining the wonder that is humanity and how much he cares for us and his awesome glory which is all creation and then some an put it all as simply as possible in words we can all almost understand and even still we have a hard time understanding. But just out of curiosity tell me of one of these Biblical contradictions you have found cuz Ive been reading my whole life and have yet to find one so clearly you must read the Bible more than me.
satan.. my master
but you can't argue....this song is dope
Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies, the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.

this is so awesome! Thanks belongs to Jesus, because he suffered most painful death and He has risen ! :)
Absolutely beautiful song. Praise god.
Glory be to God in the highest. He saved my soul and provided me with so much. Me and my 2 kids were homeless. I started consistently going to church, 3 weeks later I was able to get a new car, then the next day we were approved for an apartment. My church filled it with furniture. Then the day before yesterday I found out I have a sister. .. But I only know her first name. The story is so much longer but I wanted to share my testimony, well part of it
@@slipknot_4_life645 praise God. I hope you continue to grow closer to the Lord and God Bless.
