Thank you Casting Crowns. As a 59-yr-old believer who grew tired of empty Christmas songs, THIS grips the soul and so sweetly delivers Hope.

This is the BEST version I have ever heard. I can listen to this song any day and not just around December.
The same....I heard original from Sinatra and many other famous artists but nothing can compare to this version. So happy I've discovered this masterpiece today....
I can't get enough of this song!! I love it!
I make it a point to.listen to this everyday it I'd a right now song for today's world.
I totally agree. The most beautiful version I have EVER HEARD!!!! Have I died and arrived in Heaven??? Yes, makes you feel you have finally arrived!!!! Thank you Jesus!!!
I DO listen to it off and on all year! Beautiful song
I listen to this song all year round and it still gets to me. The children are so good and the message is so clear. Turn our hearts ❤ toward God. This song makes me cry every time 😢
I couldn't agree more with your words, ... "Turn our hearts ❤ toward God" ... as illustrated by the following sentences delineating the use of music to deal with pain. That said, the negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
Amen
One of my favorite songs, ever. I love Casting Crowns.
Me too! Saw it live and can't forget it!
I can't hear this song without feeling God close by. Makes me cry every time I hear it. My absolute favorite.
This is my favorite Christmas song. Praise the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
this song should be played in every ones home with the speakers all the way up so that evryone one should shout his name
This song was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1863. On Christmas day, 1863, Longfellow-a 57-year-old widowed father of six children, the oldest of which had been nearly paralyzed as his country fought a war against itself-wrote a poem seeking to capture the dynamic and dissonance in his own heart and the world he observes around him. He heard the Christmas bells that December day and the singing of “peace on earth” (Luke 2:14), but he observed the world of injustice and violence that seemed to mock the truthfulness of this optimistic outlook. The theme of listening recurred throughout the poem, eventually leading to a settledness of confident hope even in the midst of bleak despair.
Chaloner Close. Longfellow wrote "Christmas Bells" in 1864. But everything else is correct. The poem/carol was born out of grief and resentment, but indicates a softened heart and the eternal hope God provides.
Thanks for the narrative
Well written!
Yes, back in those day's, women wore dress;es that were highly flammable, and this was the cause of Longfellow's wife's death, as was the fate of many women back then!
@@petratical I know, they were made of dried oil
Great history lesson!
One of the best Christmas songs ever. Nobody does this song better.
7th time down does..lol
Doesn't need to be Christmas to listen to hear it...it is meaningful anytime of the year
Look up the version Emmet Franz does with the Petersens. Very different but bette rin my opinion.
@@DaleC1980 will do, thanks
Nobody does this song better, but ALSO, nobody does this song better than the Slavic Chorale either! ;)
This song makes me want to sob, just so moving and beautifully sung, just so moving and full of the spirit of God
The heard the original in Iraq. Even though I wasn't in danger, I knew my brothers were. At this point with 2020 in the history books, at home this hits harder.
It was written right before Christmas by a man who's son was wounded in the civil war. He wasn't sure how badly he was hurt only that it was serious.
I love it.. ❤❤❤
Amen!
@@alexhatfield4448 Henry Wadsworth Longfellpw is the author of this magnificent piece.
This song reminds me that man cannot find peace on there own. We are corrupt in our core with out Christ.
I LOVE this songs. The lyrics penatrate deeply in my spirit. Peace on Earth we need at ALL times. Thanks and praise God for your ministry.
God's blessings 🙏🙏🙏🌹

This song is incredible!
Doesn't need to be Christmas to listen to this song. I think this is a message we need right now...
I agree. I woke up this morning, 3/12/2021 with this song in my head and I hadn't heard it since Christmas. I think the Lord has a message for me.
Everyday .
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Absolutely agree 🙏
Absolutely
This song, and While You Were Sleeping, aren’t just Christmas songs. They are songs you can listen to all year long. So meaningful, and so moving! God bless Casting Crowns!🙏💕
This song gives me chills, makes my soul smile
I think this is the most beautiful Christmas song!! :)
why can't i get the song i request
My favourite of all time
Kareena Strait i
Kareena Strait I agree
@@savedbygrace81 me too kareena.
This song is incredibly beautiful and brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it...
Mark Hall and Casting Crowns places their hearts and soul in everything they do. This song is the absolute example of that. God bless them for what they do.
I love the fact that they're so unpretentious. They aren't all about their look. Like you said, it's from their hearts. They are just common folks who happen to be blessed by God on their musical abilities.
I agree wholeheartedly
We can live in Peace where we're at on this earth, and show goodwill toward men, watch it spread! Beautiful inspiration! Thank you Casting Crowns!

This song is so hard to listen to now without sobbing during it. I pray we finally have an end to these ridiculous wars.
this song takes me to my knees.
Oh, man. So awesome. Those drums, the strings, that piano line, the vocals, the... It's just SO GOOD!
It doesn't get better!
Awesome
I couldn't have said it better! ❤️
pineappleboyfilms Don’t forget the children!
Yessss! Chills 100%!!
When war and grief rips lives and hearts apart this is the most beautiful of all the carols to me this year.
I can't believe how powerful the words are to this song. I'd never really payed attention to them before until now. How cool.
HALLELUJAH to The Lamb❣️🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
HE never changes‼️ HE never loses‼️ 💚❤️🔔💚❤️🔔💚❤️
2020 has been a trial for so many of us... and this song reminds me that when I'm at the bottom of the Valley of the Shadow the only direction I can go is up.
Aye
Amen
Such a beautiful song! I wish everyone could believe in Jesus Christ! And his glorious love to mankind! Amen
This is so beautiful and it penetrates so deep. Thank you Lord for your music that you have given us!
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had already lost his beloved wife, Fanny, in 1861, after her dress caught fire and she burned to death. "How inexpressibly sad are all holidays," he wrote in his journal that Christmas. A year after Fanny's death, Longfellow noted, "I can make no record of these days. Better leave them wrapped in silence. Perhaps someday God will give me peace."
On December 25th, 1862, Longfellow's journal read, "'A merry Christmas' say the children, but that is no more for me."
Imagine his sorrow to hear, a year later, of his oldest son, Charles, having been gravely injured while serving the Union in the Civil War.
He wrote nothing in his journal for Christmas of 1863.
With America still embattled in the war, and though still reeling from his personal loss and resentment, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, for reasons we do not know, wrote the poem "Christmas Bells". Today we know it as the familiar carol "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day".
The following are the original words of Longfellow's poem:
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men."
Thank you so much for that; this song really stirs up an emotion in me. I listen to it over and over. Lord, please grant us your peace.
Wow....
Such a painful story..... One best shared.
I am glad you posted this.

Thank you.
Out of brokenness and despair such a beautiful poem/song emerges. GOD truly is inspirationally good
Thank you for sharing -... the most beautiful song for Christmas
Casting Crowns sang this song so beautifully. This my first time really listening to the song. Can bring peace back to our world and stop hurting each other. ❤😢
What a beautiful rendition of this song! It once again reminds us of the hope there is in Christ, in spite of the condition of our world.
Absolutely !
The most beautiful Christmas song! My absolute favourite but only when the Casting Crowns are singing it. Amazing😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What a wonderful blessing to hear this song. This is my first time hearing it and reading the poem. What a song for a time like this. ❤
The absolute best rendition of this song - no one has come close to this! Bess you Casting Crowns.
That third verse brings me to tears every time.
No peace, for hate is strong, one can only find peace in Jesus. Thriving guiding by the comforter.
Such a beautiful song! Love Casting Crowns...I saw them in Concert in Selma Texas last month. Rip Andy Williams, their drummer.
Yep! We were there in the freezing cold. Worth it!
@@richardrives344 LOL.
IT was a bit CHILLY that night!!! But so so worth it!

As a believer, this is the embodiment of a true Christmas Carol!! It is so incredibly moving and evokes such a deep spirit of worship…..my all time favorite hymn of Christmas!!
Smiles, hello Virginia
Casting Crowns, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for standing in the gap where so many musicians fail and your relentless devotion to our Lord and Savior through the beautiful music you create. So many times I've heard your songs on the radio or performed by others in church and I've been moved to tears. He has clearly blessed you all and I pray that you will continue to write extraordinary music that conveys the message of God's love, "Until The Whole World Hears."
Just saw the "I Heard The Bells" movie about the writer of this poem. Excellent!!!
Saw the movie today-excellent actors, beautiful movie with such an important message.❤
Luke Weaver
Is in Netflix?can you tell me please where?thanks!
I saw it too but it was only playing once. I sure hope it is streamed. It was a very good film and moving story.
@@lorenaromero2477 Sight and Sound produced it. I think it may be available to buy and stream at home. I saw it too at theatre, really brings this song to life knowing the story. This rendition is the best one I found!
All to Jesus I surrendered, because He is the only one that died for the sins of the world, believe in Jesus Christ
Probably the best interpretation of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem I've ever heard. It really captures the serious message he was trying to convey.
I love you
listening to chi listen to Christian songs
Listen to Christian songs momma
Amen
I just love this song GOD BLESS this man and choir!👍🥲🌲♥️
Such a beautiful & powerful song. Crying.
...one of my Christmas traditions is to listen to this song every year....
And for me - throughout the year
I'm not sure why, but EVERYTIME I hear this song, I'm moved to tears. I love this version. Thank you for posting this!
Me too.😢❤
Thats the Christ in you
Me too.
This is the Holy Spirit moving inside you, it is a gift from God.
I love this song, how beautiful! I can’t help but tear up also…
GOD BLESS US ALL CAUSE WE NEED IT RIGHT ABOUT NOW
Great song. Helped me in a moment of forgetfulness, to remember the goodness of God in giving us the capacity for peace, through the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Wow. This poem/song was referenced in my daily devotional today Mon Dec 12, 2022 so I come here to find this beautiful , powerful, spirit-filled vocal interpretation and orchestration. How uplifting! Why is my soul downcast (Psalm 43:5). Yes, my heart may be heavy at times but we worship a God of hope.
Oh my! This is my only Christmas song in 2021. Our choir sang this in 2014. SUCH POWERFUL WORDS FOR NOW. IF CHRIST LIVES IN US: THERE IS HIS PEACE...
Yes, Amen today is the first time hearing it, and I have been playing it over and over
This is so beautiful I have had it in my head for days. It says so much about the world we are living in now, even though the poem came from the 1800's.
this is my favorite song in the world
Tomorrow is Christmas. In the midst of the wrapping paper, lights, and holiday merriment -- let us remember the true reason for Christmas. Jesus, who is God, wrapped himself in humanity to be born as a humble babe. He who never sinned took ALL of our sins upon himself and died a vicious death. That's not the end...He rose three days later...Victorious...He paid the price for us to be able to live with Him for eternity. The question at Christmas is not whether you believe in Santa. It's do you believe in Jesus? I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, and that you know the Jesus I know.
Malinda Templet AMEN
Couldn't have said it better myself!!! #sisterinchrist
Love you, Malinda! Shalom!!! Merry Christmas!
Amen, peace be with you.
Your beautiful words pierced my heart as you spoke of the humility of christ. Merry christmas god bless you
I just love this song. just love it. yes peace on earth.

This is the best rendition of this song, beautifully done. ❤️🕊️❤️🕊️❤️🕊️
Heard this on K -Love for the first time found it on RUclips now can’t stop listening so beautiful ❤
The story behind this song is both tragic and wonderfully awesome! If you haven't heard it, I recommend it highly! Because Israel's Messiah, and the Lord Jesus Christ has come, we who come to Him in faith receive his peace, which transcends understanding! "The wrong shall fail, the right prevail!" Glory to God in the highest for Christ our Lord!
Esther Rowe That is our hope, joy and peace. SHALOM TO ALL!
Our God is not dead, nor does he sleep!
I love the shot of the violinist who can't contain that smile!!!

Always perfect!
On a city on a hill
you sound like a good person also a Christian
The voices of angels
Absolutely beautiful!!!!
I love this song---there doesn't seem to be any peace on this earth, but we have to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus Christ--you will find peace on this earth in the fellowship with other believers---and so very much more. Christ bled and died so that we can live and have peace in our souls. I love the story of this song!!! It is just a few comments below---by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
I couldn't agree more with words, ... "eyes fixed on Jesus Christ" ... as illustrated by the following sentences delineating the use of music to deal with pain. That said, the negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy.
The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below.
That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal.
GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.
