"Give me your pain and I'll give you my comfort. Give me your fear and I'll give you my peace. Give me your sadness and I'll give you my joy. Give me your loneliness and I'll give you my friendship. I will suffer so you don't have to."
I am not religious in any way shape or form. This first part of this song wasn't to make non-believers look bad. It was to show that the girl could have had no prior knowledge of Jesus but yet still saw him. I love this song and I don't care if it has religion in it. It is and always will be a beautiful song.
"Two non-believers walking lost in this world." I don't know if I'm just making things deeper than they need to me, but this line seems to imply that without God your life will inevitably go downhill, which is just not true. Probably not the implied meaning but idk it just felt _off_ to me... /:
I believe in Jesus and I cried listening to this. It's amazing how Jesus works he died for us and this I the thanks he gets It's very sad what this world va,can, to
To look deeper into the song as one comment says to do it does not imply that all abusers are not Christian it was showing how Jesus shows himself in the worst of situations that even when someone does not know of him he still loves them enough to protect them. And speaking from experience as I am an addict I never went to church or very rarely read the word while I was using I was to ashamed of my choices I didn't think that God could love a mess up like me but you know what he did save me from that life style and I still believed in him during those times. so yes look deeper into the song it's a prime example of how Jesus saves no matter what.. how he is always there for EVERY ONE not just "Christians"
Because we are of flesh so there for sin is still among us if it weren't for our sinful nature there would be no starvation God doesn't allow it but because of our free will it still happens he created us to take care of each other yet we are greedy so therefore the ones who need help don't get it he loves all of us he doesn't want to see us suffer.
This song makes me cry every time, it reminds me of my own childhood. My mother and father were both drug addicts and alcoholics, my older sister practically raised me until I was 5 years old, bearing in my mind she was only four years old when I was born, and my brother did all he could to protect us both. Then my younger sister was born and it got worse, we were severely neglected and abused, I never witnessed my parents physically die but we watched them kill themselves mentally. Then we were taken from them and put into care, and we started to go to church. Even once we got out from care we carried in going. He held all of me and my siblings close to him for all of our lives❤️
I’m going to be honest, I grew up in this situation... and it does suck, but pity doesn’t change it! Please, pray for me and all those that grew up in these situations!
My dad was an acholic abuser not only that he would turn his attention away when hus friends would do things its left me with cptsd alltho i survived i wish i hadnt
Yeah being in that situation does suck! Sometimes you think it's your fault....or your not worth it...But you always have to fake a smile for everyone else....
I remember one night I was at my friend's house and my dad lived with my friends parents cause they were friends. Now the friends and my dad were drinking alot and my mom called my grandmother to go back home and when she showed up my dad told my brother to run into the dark woods as I hid in a closet.... That was only one time... Then years later my parents get into an argument and my mom died later that week......
When i was younger, my dad would make cds for me. This song was on one of them and it always made me cry.it is one of the hardest songs to listen to without crying.
if you dont cry when you hear this song for the first time and fully understand the meaning then something is wrong with you cause this song is just so amazing and the story behind is is even better
This song reminds me how lucky I am to have the family I have. I think it's important to have songs like these to inspire people to help stamp out child abuse. I'd never heard this song before so thank you for uploading it :)
My father beat me hurt me emotionally my family has split and my family will never be the same but that is just the start of it oof I'll always put on a smile to make others feel okay like my little sister 😥😭
my mom loves this song and after I hear it she says "Thank you for being so strong" and I literally then started crying, I heard like 20 sad songs before it too. Like I've never been through it or anything, don't get me wrong, but it's sad as heck. (It didn't help to have listened to Concrete Angel, Alyssa Lies, and Streets Of Heaven first)
this song honestly just changed me life. I was drifting from Jesus for a while, but this brought back some memories where's he's helped me through so much.
i believe the main point of saying that they never took her to church was more of an argument of why its "amazing" that she saw the picture and recognized him. Not to bash nonchristians. Im agnostic thats just how I understood that aspect of the song.
I seen him in Concert it was my very 1st concert ever . So far my last I've not been able to go see another concert since then I wouldn't have gone to see him if I have not won tickets
I went through child abuse from the age of 6 to the age of 18 then at 18 I ran away and never looked back I'm almost 46 now I have been in therapy since then and it has helped me alot to know that it wasn't my fault for what happened to me 😔
My mom has done drugs for most of my life and still does, she is in and out of prison...I was abused my her boyfriends that came and left...I had to raise my two younger siblings by myself(my mom was home but not to often) (when she was she didn't help raise the kids) from when I was 5 until I was 8 almost 9...I don't ever talk to her because she makes promises she can't keep. My dad was never able to be a part of my life!! When he could two years later he went to prison for doing drugs. He is getting better now, two years later. I love both of them, but I will never trust them. I'm so angry at my mom for not trying to talk to me. If I were a mom I would try my hardest to see my kids.
Baby....big hugs! Those are words children should never have to speak. But know this, you are not them, don't let their mistakes hold you back from being a beautiful young lady. And when you feel like life is handing you a short stick, grow your own tree. Xoxo. Merry Christmas! We love you! Call us any time!
this is what my life was but my mom wasn't like that she was the one protecting everyone from my dad but I prayed and prayed so many years for him to be better and now I'm able to see him again and I think all the praying worked
Made me cry.. Helped my friend get away from her parents she was so happy when she came to me and my familey. Bruses and cuts from head to toe. All the pain gone away now, she has a home we love her. Amen he helped her get to us.x
Wow I had a best friend since we were in fourth grade and she had adopted parents they were verbally emotionally mentally and physically abusive to her but technically more on the verbal and mental side like every time I went to her house and I witnessed it her adopted mother would yell at her threatened to smack her and her younger brother if they didn't stop fighting when she was little she was only verbally abused but as she grew older the abuse got worse her adopted mother and father was beating on her and her adopted siblings would start beating her when she graduated high school she ran away to a women's shelter got pregnant with twin girls but when she got back home to her adopted family her adopted sisters were hitting her while she was holding one of her daughters thankfully the daughter was ok with that she ran away from them again and she saw her birth mother and she explained to her mom that her adopted family was abusing her and her mom called CPS and she got taking away and now at 26 she's living in St Louis Missouri with her biological family and her daughters
That is so sad that her dad killed her own mom in front of her but at least the the dad didn't kill the little girl .its good that those people took her some where else where she could get hugged and kissed and brought to church. Amen and praise the lord
I looooooooooooove this song my favorite thing about it is it tells you that God is there in the best and the worst of times and the testimony at the end
i have family members who had to grow up in a place where they werent loved... they eventually got taken away and lived happily havent heard from them for 11 years and finally got back in touch with them. oh how happy they were to have parents to love them as they werent meant to be loved
" Give me your pain and I'll give you my comfort, give me your fear and I'll give you my peace, give me your sadness and I'll give you my Joy, give me your lonlyness and I'll give my love. I will suffer so you don't have to
This reminds me of my dads life, he didn't have good parents, he had a dad who he thought wanted to be a womam, his mom and dad gave him and his sisters to is abusive aunt, she abused him and his sisters, later in his life he ran away from his home and then soon he bacame a christian, and married my mother, so those people who are athiests who became that way just because something bad happend them listen to this. My dad lost both his brothers when they were just babies, one time he shoveled snow outside and his aunt wouldn't let him inside so he got frostbite, he thanfully went over to his neighbors house, it didn't stop there his aunt once made him put a dress on and had other kids call him Fa**ot, but jesus found my father and helped him and protected him and now he has a good life with a family who loves him. Please no hate comments.. im crying right now..
Joshua Jones that is beautiful. I'm a non believer but I do praise people strong enough to fight on and believe. stay strong my friend and don't stop believing like me
Jesus is real! He protected my siblings and i. I know they're are some to say, why did he let it happen. Well, if i had a spoonfed life, i may not have believed in him or known what he brought me out of. Love you Jesus
Who sings in this video? I like it better than the original. Way better. I keep clicking on sad videos. Before this I watched "Alyssa lies". I'm bawling like a baby and I just keep clicking on the sad songs!
Dont feel sorry for me. IF you were a servant of Christ wouldnt YOUR main JOB here on this earth be to witness to the lost, care for the meek and feed the poor.... maybe I am that lost soul that needed a child of God to show me his LOVE through YOU. BRAVO!!!! You did a bang 'up job on winning ME over to your belifes.. IF this is how people that follow YOUR god act... I am HAPPY has a PAGAN!! Bless you, Love & Light!
I have seen a poem (or the lyrics) with the words of this song. When I saw this song I fell in love with it right away. I have been listening to it on repeat for a while now. I find it amazing how she has seen God without knowing him. It shows how much He cares for everyone, even the most lost life. God is truly amazing. Thanks God for loving us
I have been looking for this song for years, when I was 5 years old my dad would play it every morning on the way to preschool. Twelve years later and I finally found it, wow.
Im listening to this, and I am crying. I know how this can feel, I've helped many friends through this kind of thing, I just wish they'd all been lucky enough. Like the song says the father took their lives, well what it doesnt say is that usually the child dies aswell. And you lyrics are perfect.
My parent's fight 24/7 and on weekends my dad goes to the bar and comes back drunk and beats me but my mom hurts my dad if he hurt her instead and sometimes my sister comes and gets me i wish i had a better family
Jibanyanfaith 2003 I so know the feeling my mama doesn’t start it ever but my dad smacks her are cusses her out and threatens to kill us but we have nowhere to hide from him I will talk to god for you 💙 but follow me on IG @annie_springs for someone to talk to bc I don’t ever want you to feel alone!! And I will try to help!!!
The way I look at this song is the parents represent evil and the little girl was protected my Jesus who then delivered her to salvation with her new parents.
+blank the thing I don't understand is why people think that atheist are evil? "hmm I don't believe in god, I think I'm going to become an abusive son of a bitch" I have never met an atheist that is evil or would abuse someone. In my time the majority of the evil and abusive people that I have met are Christian. That doesn't mean all Christians are but the church needs to get rid of the paedophiles.
@@lolageppl I know what ur talking about and yes some Christian's can be abusers too remember that there's punishment and in the Bible it say spare the rod spoil the child some of them took it to the extreme with that and that's why they become abusers because they took God's punishment too far
@@pinkaholicsarah1796 "Gods punishment" so if God told you to slit a baby's throat you would. As a kid, my parents would never have hit me there are better ways to "punish" a child, and if your god wants a kid to be a punching bag how can you spout rhetoric claiming he's "a good and just god"
@@lolageppl in the bible I forgot who it was but God told someone to kill his own son and when be was about to god stopped him because he had shown God that he's a loyal follower and will follow God no matter what it took because that's what your asposed to do follow God with all you have
wow amazing job! thank you so much for posting this! this song means alot to me and it makes me feel good that someone took time out to post this.thank you again.
this is my life but my mom is in jail and my step dad is in prison but now I'm with my real dad and my mom's b day is 6 days away it's hard I always cry at this song my mom was the best but she made my life difficult I miss her it's been 5 years 💔😫😢😧
Omg this song got me very emotional I started crying because I can't handle hearing this like drug abuse and abuse to a child then that child leaving them
This gave me goose bumps--and it is rare that songs do that to me. I feel this to my soul because this was similar to my situation when I was younger. I believe that people in this istuation can get better and overcome all of the past...
OMG this reminds me of my life my parents never went to church and did drugs and we're alcoholics they fought every night it got worse and worse each time even when mom was pregnant with my baby sister it was horrible especially the beatings I put up with so they wouldn't hurt my sister then dad left and mom was hardly home and we weren't aloud to go outside maybe once or twice a month but that's it we didn't celebrate my birthday it was rare if we did and I had no friends but now I have 6😊 and when I went to school I always would worry about my sister and I'd be an outcast the one always getting bullied I did most things on my own and always smiling because I had a home a sister and parents even if they didn't love me I loved them so I smiled and smiled but I hardly ever smile anymore not real ones anyway but we're safe me and my sister we've been to 2 foster homes both were really bad and then we got to live with our grandparents but for some reason I'm not happy but this is what I have always wanted so why am I still sad I have a home and a family my sister is happy too so..........why? is it because my parents said that they don't want me but want my sister? is it because I'm still waiting for someone to accept me for me? am I still in my shell? do I need to trust people, can I? am I needed? can someone love me knowing my past? CAN I TRULY LOVE SOMEONE AFTER ALL THE PAIN?
I wish I could say the right thing to you and answer all your questions but I can't. it's something you have to figure out for yourself. I wish you the best of luck and happiness. for both you and your sister
If it is God willing and the person is worth it then they will love you no matter the troubles of your past, they will love you for who you are and much more. stay strong and keep praying. God will give you the answers to your prayers, remember he works in mysterious ways. And he loves you forever and always!
Understand I was abused physically , sexually and mentally by step brothers and step father and bio mom now I'm happy with my step mom and dad God bless
thank you i have been searching for this song for 10 years, i lost his CD and i don't know the name of the singer, you really make my day ..... thank you very much
Okay I love this song, it makes me cry when I listen to it. But whats with the "All athiests are bad parents and all Christians are good parents" message?
Smiler Advocate Mika it isn’t saying atheists are bad, it just happens that her parents were horrible people who didn’t have faith in god. This is more about the fact that she saw him and knew she was protected from the horrible life she had.
Normally ,I dont get involved in talks like this-but this one was too tempting: You made a very good point here. It really is sad,how this kind of people go back and forth with subjects which-possibly-reach into their own lifes. I am not,what one would call faint hearted,but sometimes,I start thinking:Jesus,these people roam our streets-what if they boil over-it sometimes seems to be a very thin line...a lost job,an eviction note-you know,what I mean... The song? GREAT ! GOD bless you!
WONDERS... how does one enjoy this song? I am here because this WAS my childhood. I dont care what or who you believe in... its the people that believe in NOTHING that worry me, Have FAITH. and do the RIGHT thing because of no self gain other than it being the right thing to do.... i wish more people thought
this song made me think on how lucky i was you know what f*ck christmas i'm donating all my toys to the orphange and my old cloths to You can skip me santa
Okay, I've never read it cover to cover. That's because I'm STUDYING it! Learning it on a deeper level, instead of picking it up like a comic book. It doesn't work that way. Nice!
I grew up with mom and stepdad that had drinking issues. Always seemed normal, sometimes cops would be there for issues. When I was 19, I was coming home and turned down the road home. Seen several cop strobe lights out the house. I thought it was another domestic thing. Found out that my stepdad had gunshot wound to chest. He died and my mom accused of murder. Truth is, I don’t know to this day if it was suicide like she said, or if she really did it. Local sheriffs office made mistake of not doing gun shot residue test. It would have cleared or convicted her. After going through years of domestic stuff, I relate to this song, makes me cry every time. I’m also a sheriffs deputy now. Not same one that investigated my mom. I deal with domestics all the time :(
I like this song and find it heartbreaking, yet one thing that irritates me about it is that it implies atheists are bad parents or only atheists can have drug or alcohol issues which is not true at all. Forgive me for being bold, but it seems the religious ones often have the most mental problems. Not saying all religious people have mental problems at all, but it seems that the ones you hear about tend to have strong religious beliefs.
I don't think the song is deliberately trying to put atheists in a bad light, I think it's just to put emphasis on the final verse where she recognizes Jesus even though she didn't know who he was because her parents never taught her. But that's just my interpretation, everyone has their own opinion, of course.
i dont think he meant to make it sound like the parents being atheists lead to a bad situation i think its more about jesus being with her even though shed never been to church
This song was written by Harley Allen, 20 minutes after he received an email from his brother Greg Allen about this story. Harley and Greg are the sons of Red Harley Allen IBMA award winning singer and song writer. Harley, Greg along with their brothers Neal and Randy formed a band with their father and performed all over the world. They are all IBMA winners and Harley wrote 350 songs and a lot of them were recorded by the top talent of Nashville. The baby by Blake Shelton is one as well as my last name by Dierks Bentley, Rollin by Garth Brooks, and awful beautiful life by Darryl Worley to name a few. Awesome talented family.
I don't like how they're inferring that non-christans are all addicts and horrible people, unless it's trying to say that she couldn't have known who Jesus was when she saw him. I don't know. This songs always used to make me cry when i heard it on the radio.
Thats not what the songs saying, it's saying that God, wether you know or believe in him or not, will always be there to protect and comfort you even in the worst of situations The little girl knew nothing about Him yet when she sees a picture of him she says he was there comforting and protecting her on the worst day of her life I'm not trying to be rude and apologize if I am I just wanted to try to see it in a deeper lighting if that makes any sense
Its not implying that non Christians are bad ppl, its just that she didn't know who Jesus was. And so, when she states that she saw Jesus that day in the picture, there shouldn't have been any reason for her to recognize him.
yes well the line, "two non'believers walking lost in this world, took their baby with them what a sad little girl" even before the lines about drugs or alcohol make it seem like the girl had a bad life just because her parents weren't christian.
With all due respect you have a few words incorrect within the lyrics. However, not bad it's only 3. The words I typed in CAPS are the CORRECT words that belong in the portions of the song that yours are wrong...... 1) ♫ ..."Her parents never took the young girl to church, never spoke of His name, NEVER read her His words"... 2) ♫ "...And the drinking and the fighting, just got worse every DAY, behind their couch she'd be hiding..." 3) ♫ ...to a new mom and a new dad, kisses and hugs every DAY..." Just saying...
I just needed to make sure you knew that. My brain didn't listen to the "But it was two months ago. She probably doesn't care anymore" reason to not say anything
Wynonna Mammel HAHHA, trust me people always forget or miss notices and then come back with a reply months later so it's quite alright! But, you did get me on the #2. For some reason I ALWAYS have sang it with the word night, lol. So, we both made mistakes, haha. However, I love this song. When I use to listen to it, I would always end up with tears in my eyes.
It shouldn't matter whether this song is based off of something true or not. Things like child abuse and suicide happen all the time. It also shouldn't matter what religion it's based off of. It's a sad reality of what happens behind closed doors, and my respect goes out to the man that wrote this song, because he had the strength to write something as sad as this.
This song just made me cry. I'm very fortunate to have loving parents. But my heart goes out to people getting abused. I know people may say this is just a song and it's not real. But somewhere in the world, someone is being abused and it just makes me sad.
Music like this puts my soul at ease and I don’t know why I lived a blessed life we had struggles like ever one else but I tell ya there’s nothing like music like this that my heart feels better when it’s been a rough work week or not
I remember hearing this on the radio a long time ago. I had since forgotten about it, until I stumbled upon this video. Why can't they play songs like these anymore?
this song brings tears to my eyes every time i listen to it. My best friend has parents who dont pay attention to her at all and she always has to watch her sister while her mom is at work. she tried to end her life last year but her sister found her before it was too late. i dont know what id do if she would have died but i know i would be alone.
I'm both non-religious, and very suspicious of organized religion (I see too much of it used as an excuse for horrible behavior and a wellspring of delusion and stagnation to just write it off as mostly harmless). That said, this song makes me cry and choke up, the little girl's story is moving regardless of what else is involved in it.
I love this song... I only heard it once before, but i couldnt find it again. THANK YOU!!!!!! XD i feel bad for liking this song,though, cause its so sad.

And it probably never will

Like I've never been through it or anything, don't get me wrong, but it's sad as heck. (It didn't help to have listened to Concrete Angel, Alyssa Lies, and Streets Of Heaven first)
This is a religious song about our Lord Jesus. If that offends you, Dont listen to the song. Thanks
i cry every time i hear this is sooo beautiful, it shows life can b so horrible, yet get great in a second =/
this song honestly just changed me life. I was drifting from Jesus for a while, but this brought back some memories where's he's helped me through so much.
already in too deep I'm way past it I gave up
This is my life, except they didn't die.
im here for you ok? i may not know you but ill get you through it ok?
Thanks, means a lot, really.
Hang out? CallMeWhatsername
stay strong! you are already an inspiration!
My life to so I feel the pain u went thru.
i believe the main point of saying that they never took her to church was more of an argument of why its "amazing" that she saw the picture and recognized him. Not to bash nonchristians. Im agnostic thats just how I understood that aspect of the song.
I seen him in Concert it was my very 1st concert ever . So far my last I've not been able to go see another concert since then I wouldn't have gone to see him if I have not won tickets
This made me cry it's so sad just imagine living through ALL that pain
I went through child abuse from the age of 6 to the age of 18 then at 18 I ran away and never looked back I'm almost 46 now I have been in therapy since then and it has helped me alot to know that it wasn't my fault for what happened to me 😔
My mom has done drugs for most of my life and still does, she is in and out of prison...I was abused my her boyfriends that came and left...I had to raise my two younger siblings by myself(my mom was home but not to often) (when she was she didn't help raise the kids) from when I was 5 until I was 8 almost 9...I don't ever talk to her because she makes promises she can't keep. My dad was never able to be a part of my life!! When he could two years later he went to prison for doing drugs. He is getting better now, two years later. I love both of them, but I will never trust them. I'm so angry at my mom for not trying to talk to me. If I were a mom I would try my hardest to see my kids.
Baby....big hugs! Those are words children should never have to speak. But know this, you are not them, don't let their mistakes hold you back from being a beautiful young lady. And when you feel like life is handing you a short stick, grow your own tree. Xoxo. Merry Christmas! We love you! Call us any time!
Merry Christmas! Love u to

Chanelle Hunt - I like the name your mother chose for you. Chanelle is my 1 & 1/2 year old grand daughter's name too!
Tammy J thank you.
this is what my life was but my mom wasn't like that she was the one protecting everyone from my dad but I prayed and prayed so many years for him to be better and now I'm able to see him again and I think all the praying worked
good for you ameeeeen
It most certainly did
Made me cry.. Helped my friend get away from her parents she was so happy when she came to me and my familey. Bruses and cuts from head to toe. All the pain gone away now, she has a home we love her. Amen he helped her get to us.x
Wow I had a best friend since we were in fourth grade and she had adopted parents they were verbally emotionally mentally and physically abusive to her but technically more on the verbal and mental side like every time I went to her house and I witnessed it her adopted mother would yell at her threatened to smack her and her younger brother if they didn't stop fighting when she was little she was only verbally abused but as she grew older the abuse got worse her adopted mother and father was beating on her and her adopted siblings would start beating her when she graduated high school she ran away to a women's shelter got pregnant with twin girls but when she got back home to her adopted family her adopted sisters were hitting her while she was holding one of her daughters thankfully the daughter was ok with that she ran away from them again and she saw her birth mother and she explained to her mom that her adopted family was abusing her and her mom called CPS and she got taking away and now at 26 she's living in St Louis Missouri with her biological family and her daughters
summer bergin to you summer I love you sweetheart I miss you so very much baby girl
That is so sad that her dad killed her own mom in front of her but at least the the dad didn't kill the little girl .its good that those people took her some where else where she could get hugged and kissed and brought to church. Amen and praise the lord
This is a beautiful song, whether or not you believe in God. So please, just shut up and enjoy it.
I looooooooooooove this song my favorite thing about it is it tells you that God is there in the best and the worst of times and the testimony at the end
+Rachel D apart from if your gay obviously
lauren thompson Depends on the denomination. But for most of them, unfortunatly, you are right.
this song is the best it is so heart warming ... this is a song that will help people grow as a person to know that children are suffering
i have family members who had to grow up in a place where they werent loved... they eventually got taken away and lived happily havent heard from them for 11 years and finally got back in touch with them. oh how happy they were to have parents to love them as they werent meant to be loved
" Give me your pain and I'll give you my comfort, give me your fear and I'll give you my peace, give me your sadness and I'll give you my Joy, give me your lonlyness and I'll give my love. I will suffer so you don't have to
This reminds me of my dads life, he didn't have good parents, he had a dad who he thought wanted to be a womam, his mom and dad gave him and his sisters to is abusive aunt, she abused him and his sisters, later in his life he ran away from his home and then soon he bacame a christian, and married my mother, so those people who are athiests who became that way just because something bad happend them listen to this. My dad lost both his brothers when they were just babies, one time he shoveled snow outside and his aunt wouldn't let him inside so he got frostbite, he thanfully went over to his neighbors house, it didn't stop there his aunt once made him put a dress on and had other kids call him Fa**ot, but jesus found my father and helped him and protected him and now he has a good life with a family who loves him. Please no hate comments.. im crying right now..
Joshua Jones that is beautiful. I'm a non believer but I do praise people strong enough to fight on and believe. stay strong my friend and don't stop believing like me
😭so sorry my blessings are with your father and you
Jesus is real! He protected my siblings and i. I know they're are some to say, why did he let it happen. Well, if i had a spoonfed life, i may not have believed in him or known what he brought me out of. Love you Jesus
So sad
@@brendonvineyard8620 I pray that you will believe but if not god still loves you as do I god bless you.
this song is a beautiful reminder of how great God is ♡♡♡
My children are all adopted and every time I hear it I hold them close and cry. So many of our children have been through things like this.
Who sings in this video? I like it better than the original. Way better. I keep clicking on sad videos. Before this I watched "Alyssa lies". I'm bawling like a baby and I just keep clicking on the sad songs!
Then you should also listen to "Don't laugh at me"! Is sad to but Alyssa lies is the saddest song I think I've ever heard!
I love the song Alyssa Lies. I'm going to sing it at the talent show at school. I still have to practice though.
John Michael Montgomery
Try listening to concrete Angel. That goes nicely with Alyssa Lies.
@@jodibrandl7522 all three of those are sad... i can't listen to 'Alyssa lies' or this one without tissues nearby...
Who watches this is 2019?
raise my hand
I did and still do
Dont feel sorry for me. IF you were a servant of Christ wouldnt YOUR main JOB here on this earth be to witness to the lost, care for the meek and feed the poor.... maybe I am that lost soul that needed a child of God to show me his LOVE through YOU. BRAVO!!!! You did a bang 'up job on winning ME over to your belifes.. IF this is how people that follow YOUR god act... I am HAPPY has a PAGAN!! Bless you, Love & Light!
this song makes me cry everytime i hear it, everytime im upset i always listen to this song.
What a beautiful and sad song so touching :')
With CHRIST, all things are possible. LOVE this song!
With God, not Christ.
I have seen a poem (or the lyrics) with the words of this song. When I saw this song I fell in love with it right away. I have been listening to it on repeat for a while now. I find it amazing how she has seen God without knowing him. It shows how much He cares for everyone, even the most lost life. God is truly amazing. Thanks God for loving us
I heard this song a few years ago and I never forgot it. It has really moved me!
The one song that hits me like non other....
I love this song!! Its so beautiful, it gives me cold chills
I have been looking for this song for years, when I was 5 years old my dad would play it every morning on the way to preschool. Twelve years later and I finally found it, wow.
This song has me drowning in my own tears...
this song says my life
it is one of the few songs that really hurts inside of me but i love the end of the song
I cried and I believe in Jesus and its amazing how Jesus works I always think what has this world come to
Im listening to this, and I am crying. I know how this can feel, I've helped many friends through this kind of thing, I just wish they'd all been lucky enough. Like the song says the father took their lives, well what it doesnt say is that usually the child dies aswell.
And you lyrics are perfect.
My parent's fight 24/7 and on weekends my dad goes to the bar and comes back drunk and beats me but my mom hurts my dad if he hurt her instead and sometimes my sister comes and gets me i wish i had a better family
Jibanyanfaith 2003 please call CPS for your safety baby. I love you.
Jibanyanfaith 2003 please call someone! It will help you,love you :)
PRAYERS
Jibanyanfaith 2003 I feel so bad
Jibanyanfaith 2003 I so know the feeling my mama doesn’t start it ever but my dad smacks her are cusses her out and threatens to kill us but we have nowhere to hide from him I will talk to god for you 💙 but follow me on IG @annie_springs for someone to talk to bc I don’t ever want you to feel alone!! And I will try to help!!!
The way I look at this song is the parents represent evil and the little girl was protected my Jesus who then delivered her to salvation with her new parents.
yes
+blank the thing I don't understand is why people think that atheist are evil? "hmm I don't believe in god, I think I'm going to become an abusive son of a bitch" I have never met an atheist that is evil or would abuse someone. In my time the majority of the evil and abusive people that I have met are Christian. That doesn't mean all Christians are but the church needs to get rid of the paedophiles.
@@lolageppl I know what ur talking about and yes some Christian's can be abusers too remember that there's punishment and in the Bible it say spare the rod spoil the child some of them took it to the extreme with that and that's why they become abusers because they took God's punishment too far
@@pinkaholicsarah1796 "Gods punishment" so if God told you to slit a baby's throat you would. As a kid, my parents would never have hit me there are better ways to "punish" a child, and if your god wants a kid to be a punching bag how can you spout rhetoric claiming he's "a good and just god"
@@lolageppl in the bible I forgot who it was but God told someone to kill his own son and when be was about to god stopped him because he had shown God that he's a loyal follower and will follow God no matter what it took because that's what your asposed to do follow God with all you have
wow amazing job! thank you so much for posting this! this song means alot to me and it makes me feel good that someone took time out to post this.thank you again.
Story of my childhood! When you feel that angel reach around you...you never forget!
this is my life but my mom is in jail and my step dad is in prison but now I'm with my real dad and my mom's b day is 6 days away it's hard I always cry at this song my mom was the best but she made my life difficult I miss her it's been 5 years 💔😫😢😧
Omg this song got me very emotional I started crying because I can't handle hearing this like drug abuse and abuse to a child then that child leaving them
That Song..... brought tears to my eyes. Bless you little girl.
This gave me goose bumps--and it is rare that songs do that to me. I feel this to my soul because this was similar to my situation when I was younger. I believe that people in this istuation can get better and overcome all of the past...
2019 listening
OMG this reminds me of my life my parents never went to church and did drugs and we're alcoholics they fought every night it got worse and worse each time even when mom was pregnant with my baby sister it was horrible especially the beatings I put up with so they wouldn't hurt my sister then dad left and mom was hardly home and we weren't aloud to go outside maybe once or twice a month but that's it we didn't celebrate my birthday it was rare if we did and I had no friends but now I have 6😊 and when I went to school I always would worry about my sister and I'd be an outcast the one always getting bullied I did most things on my own and always smiling because I had a home a sister and parents even if they didn't love me I loved them so I smiled and smiled but I hardly ever smile anymore not real ones anyway but we're safe me and my sister we've been to 2 foster homes both were really bad and then we got to live with our grandparents but for some reason I'm not happy but this is what I have always wanted so why am I still sad I have a home and a family my sister is happy too so..........why?
is it because my parents said that they don't want me but want my sister?
is it because I'm still waiting for someone to accept me for me?
am I still in my shell?
do I need to trust people, can I?
am I needed?
can someone love me knowing my past?
CAN I TRULY LOVE SOMEONE AFTER ALL THE PAIN?
I wish I could say the right thing to you and answer all your questions but I can't. it's something you have to figure out for yourself. I wish you the best of luck and happiness. for both you and your sister
God says to forgive those who do wrong to you
If it is God willing and the person is worth it then they will love you no matter the troubles of your past, they will love you for who you are and much more. stay strong and keep praying. God will give you the answers to your prayers, remember he works in mysterious ways. And he loves you forever and always!
Understand I was abused physically , sexually and mentally by step brothers and step father and bio mom now I'm happy with my step mom and dad
God bless
Tks everyone I thought no one would bother actually reading this and I'll pray to god
thank you i have been searching for this song for 10 years, i lost his CD and i don't know the name of the singer, you really make my day ..... thank you very much
At 2:30 I realized where it was going and started bawling
Okay I love this song, it makes me cry when I listen to it. But whats with the "All athiests are bad parents and all Christians are good parents" message?
Smiler Advocate Mika it isn’t saying atheists are bad, it just happens that her parents were horrible people who didn’t have faith in god. This is more about the fact that she saw him and knew she was protected from the horrible life she had.
2:15 lyrics say "every night" but the song says "every day"
Normally ,I dont get involved in talks like this-but this one was too tempting:
You made a very good point here.
It really is sad,how this kind of people go back and forth with subjects
which-possibly-reach into their own lifes.
I am not,what one would call faint hearted,but sometimes,I start thinking:Jesus,these people roam our streets-what if they boil over-it sometimes seems to be a very thin line...a lost job,an eviction note-you know,what I mean...
The song? GREAT !
GOD bless you!
WONDERS... how does one enjoy this song? I am here because this WAS my childhood. I dont care what or who you believe in... its the people that believe in NOTHING that worry me, Have FAITH. and do the RIGHT thing because of no self gain other than it being the right thing to do.... i wish more people thought
OMG! I've been looking for this everywhere!! Who sings this?!?
Brittany Lemieux Rondeau John Micheal Montgomery
this song made me think on how lucky i was you know what f*ck christmas i'm donating all my toys to the orphange and my old cloths to You can skip me santa
Why'd you have to swear at Christmas to tell Santa to skip you? :P although the rest of the gesture is very sweet.
Megan Bowling empisis
Trinity Southway Weeell if you're doing it right, Christmas is actually as much, if not more, about giving than recieving. :)
my heart warmed at that, God bless the people who still have a heart and care
Brittany Lemieux Rondeau
Yep
Okay, I've never read it cover to cover. That's because I'm STUDYING it! Learning it on a deeper level, instead of picking it up like a comic book. It doesn't work that way. Nice!
I grew up with mom and stepdad that had drinking issues. Always seemed normal, sometimes cops would be there for issues. When I was 19, I was coming home and turned down the road home. Seen several cop strobe lights out the house. I thought it was another domestic thing. Found out that my stepdad had gunshot wound to chest. He died and my mom accused of murder. Truth is, I don’t know to this day if it was suicide like she said, or if she really did it. Local sheriffs office made mistake of not doing gun shot residue test. It would have cleared or convicted her. After going through years of domestic stuff, I relate to this song, makes me cry every time.
I’m also a sheriffs deputy now. Not same one that investigated my mom. I deal with domestics all the time :(
this song is sad
Christine Cook I know very sad
I like this song and find it heartbreaking, yet one thing that irritates me about it is that it implies atheists are bad parents or only atheists can have drug or alcohol issues which is not true at all. Forgive me for being bold, but it seems the religious ones often have the most mental problems. Not saying all religious people have mental problems at all, but it seems that the ones you hear about tend to have strong religious beliefs.
I don't think the song is deliberately trying to put atheists in a bad light, I think it's just to put emphasis on the final verse where she recognizes Jesus even though she didn't know who he was because her parents never taught her. But that's just my interpretation, everyone has their own opinion, of course.
i dont think he meant to make it sound like the parents being atheists lead to a bad situation i think its more about jesus being with her even though shed never been to church
patrick maloney I agree completely.
I have strong religious beliefs and my daddy says I'm fine
It implies that THESE atheists are bad parents... Although people who don't have Jesus don't know how much better life is with him
I'm not a fan of country music.. but there are a few songs in this genre that are so beautiful and emotional. This is definitely one of them.
This song was written by Harley Allen, 20 minutes after he received an email from his brother Greg Allen about this story. Harley and Greg are the sons of Red Harley Allen IBMA award winning singer and song writer. Harley, Greg along with their brothers Neal and Randy formed a band with their father and performed all over the world. They are all IBMA winners and Harley wrote 350 songs and a lot of them were recorded by the top talent of Nashville. The baby by Blake Shelton is one as well as my last name by Dierks Bentley, Rollin by Garth Brooks, and awful beautiful life by Darryl Worley to name a few. Awesome talented family.
I don't like how they're inferring that non-christans are all addicts and horrible people, unless it's trying to say that she couldn't have known who Jesus was when she saw him. I don't know. This songs always used to make me cry when i heard it on the radio.
Thats not what the songs saying, it's saying that God, wether you know or believe in him or not, will always be there to protect and comfort you even in the worst of situations
The little girl knew nothing about Him yet when she sees a picture of him she says he was there comforting and protecting her on the worst day of her life
I'm not trying to be rude and apologize if I am I just wanted to try to see it in a deeper lighting if that makes any sense
Its not implying that non Christians are bad ppl, its just that she didn't know who Jesus was. And so, when she states that she saw Jesus that day in the picture, there shouldn't have been any reason for her to recognize him.
shadow1masters3 that was very beautifully said
yes well the line, "two non'believers walking lost in this world, took their baby with them what a sad little girl" even before the lines about drugs or alcohol make it seem like the girl had a bad life just because her parents weren't christian.
what do u mean
With all due respect you have a few words incorrect within the lyrics. However, not bad it's only 3. The words I typed in CAPS are the CORRECT words that belong in the portions of the song that yours are wrong......
1) ♫ ..."Her parents never took the young girl to church, never spoke of His name, NEVER read her His words"...
2) ♫ "...And the drinking and the fighting, just got worse every DAY, behind their couch she'd be hiding..."
3) ♫ ...to a new mom and a new dad, kisses and hugs every DAY..."
Just saying...
Just saying, but if you listen to the song, it is actually night for number 2. But 1 and 3 were correct
Yes my #1 & #3 are correct and your #2 is correct. Lol. :)
I just needed to make sure you knew that. My brain didn't listen to the "But it was two months ago. She probably doesn't care anymore" reason to not say anything
Wynonna Mammel HAHHA, trust me people always forget or miss notices and then come back with a reply months later so it's quite alright!
But, you did get me on the #2. For some reason I ALWAYS have sang it with the word night, lol. So, we both made mistakes, haha. However, I love this song. When I use to listen to it, I would always end up with tears in my eyes.
I waz a non believer till I heard this song and realized Jesus will always be there
Thank you Lord for enabling me to find this song again so I could listen to it. Amen
It shouldn't matter whether this song is based off of something true or not. Things like child abuse and suicide happen all the time. It also shouldn't matter what religion it's based off of. It's a sad reality of what happens behind closed doors, and my respect goes out to the man that wrote this song, because he had the strength to write something as sad as this.
The last part of the song is so sweet!!
The message of the song makes me 😭 he always there even if we don't know him yes still there for each one Thank God for always protecting us 🙏🙏🙏
I've been looking for this song ever since I was a young girl. Thank you for posting it
The innocence of a child is such a beautiful thing. I loved the fact that Jesus held her tight as all of the horrors were taking place.
wow I just remember this is on a forward my friends sent me i didn't know it was a song
Chills. Every hair stands up on my body when i hear this song. I"m not a die-hard Christian- but this song is full of love.
This song got me through a very tough time when I was a kid. And oh my God.
I'm sad so I can't think of anything else but.....THE FEELS TT^TT
This song just made me cry. I'm very fortunate to have loving parents. But my heart goes out to people getting abused. I know people may say this is just a song and it's not real. But somewhere in the world, someone is being abused and it just makes me sad.
This song is so sad, I hope everyone stays strong. You are loved and never forgotten.
Music like this puts my soul at ease and I don’t know why I lived a blessed life we had struggles like ever one else but I tell ya there’s nothing like music like this that my heart feels better when it’s been a rough work week or not
I miss my childhood after listening to this kid of sad songs.. I'm so touched❤ it's so nice❤
I remember hearing this on the radio a long time ago. I had since forgotten about it, until I stumbled upon this video. Why can't they play songs like these anymore?
this song brings tears to my eyes every time i listen to it. My best friend has parents who dont pay attention to her at all and she always has to watch her sister while her mom is at work. she tried to end her life last year but her sister found her before it was too late. i dont know what id do if she would have died but i know i would be alone.
I always cry when I hear this song cause it tells the story of my life
I'm both non-religious, and very suspicious of organized religion (I see too much of it used as an excuse for horrible behavior and a wellspring of delusion and stagnation to just write it off as mostly harmless). That said, this song makes me cry and choke up, the little girl's story is moving regardless of what else is involved in it.
This song....I can't help but cry at it.....it's so sweet!
Man this is so beautiful I'm crying I've heard this song and it never fails to make me cry
I love this song... I only heard it once before, but i couldnt find it again. THANK YOU!!!!!!
XD i feel bad for liking this song,though, cause its so sad.
