I still really miss For Today. I will be visiting Mattie and Candace Montgomery’s Church The Alter Fellowship sometime after my band’s finally completed and we’re in Johnson City, TN. Mattie really wanted to share the stage with me but we never got that opportunity.
DUDE. I literally just had to message my childhood friend and describe the music video to him for him to tell me the song. I know this exact feeling, elite nostalgia
Can we pay back more than can be measured? If we could love If we could love There is an amount of love An amount of grace Beyond all meaning Beyond all measure If we could even grasp it There would be more pleasure There is no greater love than Laying your life down for a friend If we loved God to a teaspoon Of his overflowing cup What would this world then see? Our land of sorrow and turmoil Would swirl to a community of joy Open our eyes to glisten Open our hearts to receive Open our mouths to smile This is a love that none can fathom How can we repay Love the Lord your God With all your heart All your soul All your mind All your strength
I just found out that my ex girlfriend was cheating on me during the relationship...I broke up with her 2 weeks ago this video made me realize that I have to focus my life on God and that I shouldn't take this as a chance to screw my life up more but to bring me up. Thanks God for opening my eyes
I remember being in a garage band and opening for these guys in my local Community Theatre in Orange City, IA. We blew the fuses out of the place. One of the greatest moments in young-me's history. Met up with Mattie on their last tour and he remembered the day we did that. Love this band. Love this music. Love this community.
Also, that bare spalted maple explorer went to a girl who played with an all-girl group called Pagens On Wagons. Played with them once and never heard of them again. Hope she's doing well. She was the first person I ever saw do a 6 string sweep pick with strobe lights in her face lol
That was one of the best concert I ever went to in middle school. The line up was sick!! Life in your way, Burden of the day, and For Today. That was when their tickets were $10 lol

For Today is my favorite band. I've seen them live five times. Their talent as musicians and song writers is absolutely astounding, and there are few acts which I believe deserve more respect than them. So believe me when I say it really bothers me that this video is aimed at the high school environment. This band is so great and professional and talented, and it is just so typical that a Christian band would aim their most powerful track at high school students.
They aren't shoving it down your throats. They are just speaking the truth. Whether you believe it or not, it is the truth. And yes they are telling you that you are living wrong. If you don't like that just don't listen to them; You are only saved by grace. I love them for the fact that they can play music of this genre and still be one of the most Christian bands ever. I hold them in the highest respect. Props to For Today
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suite their own passions and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.. many will follow their sensuality and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed.. in their greed they will exploit you with false words, their congregation from long ago is not idle and their destruction is not asleep.. but as for you to each one accords with sound doctrine.. for Jesus said, repent and believe the gospel.”
Our land of sorrow and turmoil would swirl to a community of joy Open our eyes to glisten Open our hearts to receive Open our mouths to smile This is a love that none can fathom How can we repay Love the Lord your God With all your heart All your soul All your mind All your strength
awesome. whenever i think of "christian heavy metal" in my head i think i For Today and early The devil wears prada. i remember when i was a teenager me dad took me to this TDWP show, everyone in the crowd thought he was cool for doing that. when i told him the band is christian he was surprised
All this song is, is a message. There's no need commenting on the people in the video just hear it and spread the message. That's all they'rere trying to accomplish.
i dont understand how you could not like this band...the fact the are Christian makes me want to listen more because if you can spread the word of Christ in this genre of music, that commonly has the misconception of "devil worshiping" is saying something...any band that can spread the good word deserves my applause.

I like bands that change their musical style alot but never sounded horrible at one point. For Today is one of those bands. And I dig Mattie's old dreads.
I feel the same way bro! For Today has only gotten way more musically talented and way more Christian and I love that about them. For Today has been consistently putting out great lyrical content and incredible music for the last 7 years! They're about to go in to record their newest album. I can't wait because I already know that Jesus will be at the heart of it and the breakdowns are going to sooth my soul once again. Haha. Have a good one buddy!
At the end of the day load of people really enjoy this music. If you're too busy hating on it instead of watching something you enjoy I feel sorry for you.
How about "Jealousy is Hell" by The Last Ten Seconds of Life, "Victims of the Cave" by The Acacia Strain, "Shadow of Eternal Sin" by Thy Art is Murder, etc. I could keep going.
does short or long hair really even matter? if you have a relationship with god, do you think having long hair is going to cause him to love you less? BY NO MEANS! god loves every one, for who they are, rich and poor, lang hair and short, tattoos or no tattoos, he loves us all.
The wife of Samson betrayed him and they cut off his hair because they believed it was the source of his strength, the strength of Samson was not physical but rather spiritual. That's the point I now get that those people may not, the point in this case would be that anything that clouds your understanding and confirms authority of flesh over spirit is not good. You are not a body, you are a soul, you "have" a body.
FIrst time I saw it I didn't get the high school deal. I understood the plot, just not why they would throw a petty teen situation in their vid. Now I see - high school is one of the centers of drama and rampant sin in our lives, and For Today is using that background to emphasize the "What then would the world see" line - that Christ's love should radiate through us even brighter in a place like that. I went through this SAME sit in school and cuz of Christ my reaction was the same. Praise God.
Nice to see 80s music haz not gone away to bad no one can be original any more at least back then they didnt use voice machines but did bring back high school party memories with the bands
Pointless question. Why do we need to know about anything bands sing about? Does it matter? Does it really matter to everyone? To some people it is not the message, it is a feeling. I will be honest, not the best video but to see them live would change anyone's mind. One of the best stage presentations I have ever seen.
2024 whose all here jamming?
Let’s goooooo.

Just listening since it's nostalgic and wanted to remember touring with them back in the day

It had been YEARS looking for this song and I have finally found it 🎉🎉🎉 I can sleep tonight 😅
I started listening to for today in 2013 and never realized this was their song 😂
DUDE. I literally just had to message my childhood friend and describe the music video to him for him to tell me the song. I know this exact feeling, elite nostalgia
This song has two brutal breakdowns with a powerful message behind the music. I almost forgot how much I loved this band!
Can we pay back more than can be measured?

These guys are from my home town, and I even went to church with Mikey....I was there before they made it big! Awesome band! :D
2017. Still my favorite song by For Today. The aggression and passion in this song can not compare.

acho muito difícil isso acontecer.
Sick
So this is what For Today was like back then. Good god they grown
awesome. whenever i think of "christian heavy metal" in my head i think i For Today and early The devil wears prada. i remember when i was a teenager me dad took me to this TDWP show, everyone in the crowd thought he was cool for doing that. when i told him the band is christian he was surprised
8 años que la escuche por primera ves que buenos tiempos :')
dreadcore.
+Paula Lenis jejeje yes!
cringecore
Paula Lenis Yes
Their drummer is out of this world
It is so hard for me to process that Mattie had long hair back then, I'm so used to his short hair
Gantris I lived in Sioux City for 5 years and I first heard these guys just after Mattie joined and I still get used to Mattie's short hair lol.
All this song is, is a message. There's no need commenting on the people in the video just hear it and spread the message. That's all they'rere trying to accomplish.
This is truly the sound of 2008 captured accurately holy fuck lmao
2022 anyone?
Still holds up. Shout out to the esp Ltd fx-360
Bem que eles poderiam voltar 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥
seria bom mesmo, se a banda não tivesse acabado.
