I sang this song during my senior year of high school for this big motivational program the senior class put on. My friend played guitar for me. Jennifer’s music meant so much to me growing up. Even now it moves me to tears. I had the privilege of meeting her a few times and going to many of her concerts.
When my mom and stepdad were still together and around the time Kansas released, I started learning to play guitar and my mom, who's a fantastic singer, asked if I'd play in front of church with her. I said yes, but we had to do a song I liked. This song was one of the ones we performed together. It was amazing. Even if most of the congregation had no idea what the song was, we got tons of compliments and performed another of her songs too.
Rich Mullins music and Jennifer Knapps music forever changed my life. God gifted them with an incredible gift to impact the world whether during their strengths or their weaknesses. Just as God gifted all of us with the ability to be impacted by it in our strength and weaknesses. ❤️
Rich Mullins and Jennifer Knapp have at least one big thing in common. They are not afraid to be honest with God or with themselves. That has encouraged me to be honest too. I love them both.
I have recently been blessed to remember how much I love Jennifer's music. In the time between I have abandoned traditional religion and have found a higher understanding than blind submission to the words and work of charlatans. Music has always brought me peace, that is real and tangible. Blessed are those who make peace. Thank you Jennifer for making peace in me through your music.
Same here. Just came back to this music after so many years of striving to meet the Devine beyond religion. Her songs still express my heart's path towards truth.
Awesome you kicked heroin! Congrats! Keep on keeping on!! My Dad took me to a concert in 2010 i think. I was strung out on meth, in an toxic and violent relationship, and the suicide thoughts were thick at that time. I think my dad was just looking for anywhere to get through to me. I balled the entire preformance. I bought her cd and got a poster signed by her. Listened to that cd quite a bit the next few months following. I know seeing her in concert that night that my dad just happened to have an extra ticket for wasnt a coincidence. It saved my life!! Thank you Jennifer!!
@@danielleboisselle4514 wow i am so blessed by this comment. i just shared this with my friend who is struggling badly with meth. i hope it blesses him the same way it did you. i would also kill to pick your mind on any way i can help him.
As a 65 year old preachers daughter I could tell you why the Christian radio stations and the Christian community rejected her and I will say with a Loud Voice that their behavior and judgement is not IN ANY WAY Christian. Listen to everything Jenniffer Knapp has ever written. Perfectly biblical and true and then there is her voice. God created this woman perfectly to express the Word and Love of Jesus. I am going to guess she is at peace with it all but it is a great loss for the "Christian community" to be robbed of her lyrical expression of God's LOVE, devine creations, acceptance and then threre is forgiveness ... Something we are sorely in need of these days. God Bless You Jennifer.
Still very amazing. This album is helping through a very difficult time. Found an actual cassette tape! playing it for two months now. God bless Jennifer.
Seen her in Shreveport Louisiana I think with Audio Adrenaline back in the late 90. Still have this album on CD. I miss the music of my youth when I first came to Christ. This album really is a masterpiece.
I'm Jewish But I love Kansas as it was in an empty bin,at a garage sale.And all by it's lonesome,G-d knew I'd get it,because it had a song called visions.And this was 15 years ago.I love how she takes a bible verse, and runs with it.But I also respect that when the orthodox mentality church, turned their backs on her "if you will".She may or may not have retreated,but didn't give up.But went to vandy in Nashville and studied theologian. Her strength is a testament to believing in oneself. Love the song "set me free "✡🎻
There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to. That presses harsh hope against time. In the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves. who only want to rob you blind. They steal away any sense of peace tho I'm a king. I'm a king on my knees. And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong. As the darkness covers me. So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory I am not afraid. To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain. Where there is peace and Love in the Light in the Light, I am not afraid. To let your light shine bright in my life In my life. There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul. Than I thought I had given away. They linger in closets and under my bed. And in pictures less proudly dis-played. A great fool in my Life I have been. Have squandered til pallid and thin. Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame. From darkness I know I've let win. Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
The last part is missing. Here it is ... I've never been much for the bearing of soul In the presence of any man I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure In the arms of a sinner I am Could it be that my worth should depend By the crimson stained grace on a hand? And like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in your will to reveal all of you that I can
Jennifer Knapp... your music helped me hold on..to life .. to not pull the trigger.. to not dive off my balcony... To the truth .. the hope.. I knew was deep down in me!! Literally You saved my life!!! Thank you!! You’re Such a talented musician don’t let people define who you are as an artist and a woman. do what you were destined to do!! Martyrs and thieves .. can you hear me??? Saved my life!!!! A drunk addict I refused to accept SATANS #1 LIE... WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!! Please ... judgmental Christians..who’s primary focus is on Christians that are living “a sinful life” and you’re praying for them to come back to the Lord .Seriously what world do you live in?? Get over it like the comment I read I hope you come back to us Jennifer..back to what?? Determination to make someone feel unworthy of God’s love because they live a life you find unacceptable?? Who the hell do you think you are? Because you may have been brought up that way ?? so don’t judge the person that grew up with an addict mother that tricked her out at eight years old that turns into the woman walking the street ..yeah the prostitute drug addict..you think is damned to hell!! Or little girl from a good family that lost her virginity in a closet to her uncle at 11.. She knew God but ran to drugs for comfort..now 25 years old..Thanks to outstanding church going people like you she feels unworthy of God’s love to even.. pray !!!! Because that’s how people like you’ve made her feel why don’t you sleep on that!!! I’ve done so many things I’m ashamed of and I don’t deserve forgiveness or mercy!!! To the Christian that have offended by this post..I apologize sincerely I’m sure you’re a good person trying to live A Godly life showing people his love by example.. There’s so many more things in the world you should be doing for the kingdom of God Then ridiculing someone who happens to be in love with someone of the same sex!!! These are people they can reach people that you never will be able to ... How do you know that’s not his plan..
Thank you for coming out Jennifer. I was in this industry at the timeyour albums xameout. I stayed alone.. Always. Just God and myself. You see all of these comments negative about lesbians.. While these are the people who have done the sins.God save them from there wretches ways. And thank you Jenny!
"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - this is my prayer for her (and myself)...
Whenever God says he loves everyone that includes lesbians. Yet his love is an offering to us. A better way than our way. And that doesn't just include lesbians that includes everyone. God's way is better than our way. And lesbians are part of our. So if God loves lesbians and he Wills us to be like him then we love lesbians. And I'm so sorry if I've ever tried to make myself look to be better than anyone and the LGBT world. Because apart from God we are all in need of a savior. Just note that God's ways are not our ways. Yet where the spirit of the Lord is there is love. So with that being said I love you Jennifer Knapp very very much
So many people think when we try to point them in the right direction that we are judging them.Yet on the contrary it is love at its finest! I have been listening to her music for years & have seen her perform. I have shared her music for 20 yrs with people & most of all worshiped the Lord thru her music.So you can bet when I get on to her.Its because I love her like a sister.Jesus left us with direction & many think he came here just to die on a cross & rise from the grave.Yet he did much more .He came to stop the confusion of who the Father is & with every direction is a marvolus gift connected to the Cross.Thanks for being bold enough to Love on our sister Jennifer Knapp

What a precious and powerful soul. This CD blessed me tremendously in 1999

I understand i still listen to uer music we all love her but we clearly know she was livin in sin, all we can do is pray she returns right
Still very amazing. This album is helping through a very difficult time. Found an actual cassette tape! playing it for two months now. God bless Jennifer.
God created this music for Jennifer for this moment in time, right now. Come back Jennifer.

I don't know the whole story but this album is on fire with authenticity.
There's a place in the darkness I use to cling to.
That presses harsh hope against time.

The last part is missing. Here it is ...
I've never been much for the bearing of soul
In the presence of any man
I'd rather keep to myself all safe and secure
In the arms of a sinner I am
Could it be that my worth should depend
By the crimson stained grace on a hand?
And like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in your will to reveal all of you that I can
Loved her and my sons and I actually have been to see her perform at the Supernatural DC Talk!
2020 still finding peace in this song💜

Best song of all time
I still sing and play this song on guitar. It is in my soul.

Go to the Light and follow the Shepherd. There is not salvation in any other...including those with pleasant singing voices.

She never left home, was just honest with herself, with others and with god. This is a level of honesty that most Christians will never attain.
She is home. What are you talking about? Let her guide you home. Suggested reading : Disarming Scripture by Derek Flood
Kristin Hallahan Yes!!!
Chromedaffodils Stop crying for her. If you think she is any less saved because she loves women - I tell you with so much love it simply isn't true.
🙈💜
no body hears me, but it's ok
