Came to this song today. I listened so much to Jars of Clay when realising that pain brought me in front of him and his strength so grateful for his love
The song holds up 20 years later. Great harmonies and the best of 90s sound. Being the same age as the guys, I miss the 90s fashions they were wearing. I still have my choker necklace like Dan is wearing.
Saw Jack frost the movie (Starring Michael Keaton) for the first time ever . made me cry. I almost forgot about this song. Glad it is heard in the movie
A promise or a dare I would jump if I knew you'd catch me Staring over the edge I can't tell if you'll be here for me I close my eyes and make a wish Turn out the lights and take a breath Pray that when the wick is burned You would say that it's all about love You were there when I needed you You were there when the skies broke wide wide open You were there when I needed you You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open You were never here I remember you said Love was more than your good intentions Empty boxes on the floor Things I never asked you for I pray that when the wick is burned You would say that it's all about love You were there when I needed you You were there when the skies broke wide wide open You were there when I needed you You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open I can't see the promise of Excuses you fall upon I pray to God not holding on To things you've left undone You were there when I You were there when I You were there when I needed you
It's not necessarily about crappy parents. It's about a man looking back at his childhood and remembering both the good and bad times he had with his parents. It's also about the man wishing his parents were still in his life. The reason why they're not isn't explained, but it's possible that they've passed away and he's talking to them in Heaven. This is a very honest song about a relationship, something Jars of Clay have always been excellent at writing.
Oh i remember when i move to Indiana from Haiti , and it was cold and rainny, i was so forturnate nuf to be taken to a concert of JoC for the first time! We were listenning to the whole and tha particular song reminds me of that! I tearing right now!😭 nostagia is killing me now!
This song withheld the test of time for sure.. Absolutely brilliant/timeless music right here. This song has a powerful reflective presence about it..always has.
This was one of their biggest hits off of their second studio release, Much Afraid in 1997. Their self-titled first release was in 1995. You're hearing the smooth, unique voice of Dan Hazeltime.
I think many of Jars' songs are like the parables. There is the outside meaning and then when studied, there is an underlying truth. I also believe the song reveals a truth about child neglect...things aren't always what they seem to the casual observer. Like the parables, you are shocked when the truth is revealed.
It doesn't necessarily have to be about a man either. This is an honest song about a relationship, which is something Jars of Clay have always been excellent at writing.

I feel so happy when just now I discovered the title of this song! ☺️ I keep listening to this on the radio, also knowing they're a Christian band is awesome ! 📻 😎
Por acaso esse música já tinha sido gravada anteriormente por alguma banda do mainstream? Eu tive a impressão que já a tinha ouvido antes quando a ouvi na voz do Jars of Clay.
This song, being from the Much Afraid album, is based on the same book "Hinds Feet in High Places" that the whole album was inspired by. The meaning of the song should first be looked at by reading the book and seeing how it is pulled out of the material there. I agree that this music video doesn't do a lot to show the real meaning behind the song, but that's where you need to know the inspiration behind the album as a whole.
i work at cvs. I kept hearing this song and been trying to find out the title. I just recently found out the title. This is a really a cool song. video is kinda weird.
A Brazilian band created a song very similar to this one here, the band is called 'Quatro por Um,' and the song is 'Heróis.' I liked the Portuguese version more, haha. Uma banda brasileira criou uma música muito parecida com essa música aqui, a banda é "Quatro por um", e a música é "Heróis". Gostei mais da versão em português rs
J.O.C fueled by the holy spirit still filling the cup that spills over into the lives of those around me in 2022. The legacy and quality of their work lives on today in the pondering's of my son who loves Jars of Clay... "My sheep will know my voice", so followers of 'The Way' hear the voice of God, his tender mercies, his mystery, his love and grace in the melodies and words eschewed by J.O.C. even in 2022 still relevant powerful and soothing to the weary sojourner. So much love respect and gratitude for Hasletine and company... Dallas Jenkins probably agrees and its great to see the legacy live on in the greatest evangelistic feat ever taken on in the history of modern Babylon war against the saints with the making and distribution of *The Chosen* I was overjoyed to see Dan Hasletine name roll thru the credits for the music of *The Chosen* bravo well done Dan! Keep spreading the Light around boys because this world needs it very badly. It would be a blessing to see J.O.C make music, work together and tour again... Thanks you for the decades of goodness! God bless you all very much! Blessings love and Aloha Timothy
I'm the Clown. I think we filmed this in 97 in a little Chinese restaurant in Hollywood on Hollywood and Highland. It's still there
wow that's cool
care to talk about it more?
How much did they pay you ?
Great memory!!
Were they cool guys?
2006
I really miss and love this song ever since it was released in 1997.
..it IS all about His love:) thanks J.O.C.
This deserves a million views.
NU107 Rock Station Philippines used to play this song. Just so nostalgic.
103.5 klite played it more often
Yes, and i still remember like it was yesterday. Nakakamiss talaga.
Against The Flow
Rx 93.1 also
also in Jam 88.3
this is back in the 90s when music was so much better then today
So true
Perhaps not the videos though ;)
Agree. *than
Amen to that.
when kpop music does'nt exist. lol

He wore those a lot, huh? :)
the music stands up... the video, perhaps not. it looks to boy band and striving towards wide commercial appeal.
Everyone wore those silver beaded necklaces at the time ...Im wearing mine right now ❤
Still listening to this song while on lockdown due to Covid.
Mandolin at the end provides just the right touch
I had a tape of JARS OF CLAY. I still have it since 1998. :-D
who cares
Bullshit...
Thats great. How about their CD album?
@@irwincorazon9304 how incredibly vulgar and disrespectful of you. Your mother must be ashamed of you
Wow tape! 👍
April 07, 2023.. still watching This Band❤..from the Philippines
April 22, 2024 - from the Philippines
@@solarpoweredheart47 October 18th 2024
one of the best christian bands i listen to back in gradeschool... =)
The best.
this is aggressively mellow.
This might be the most 90s thing ever.
I remember reading Animorphs while listening to this whole album over and over on repeat.
@@danielcropp8553 good ol days
Omg this just screams 90s fashion almost every music video looked like this during the 90s
Saw Jack frost the movie (Starring Michael Keaton) for the first time ever . made me cry. I almost forgot about this song. Glad it is heard in the movie
A promise or a dare
I would jump if I knew you'd catch me
Staring over the edge
I can't tell if you'll be here for me
I close my eyes and make a wish
Turn out the lights and take a breath
Pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
You were never here
I remember you said
Love was more than your good intentions
Empty boxes on the floor
Things I never asked you for
I pray that when the wick is burned
You would say that it's all about love
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open
You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on
To things you've left undone
You were there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed you
First time I heard this song was in the Jack Frost movie. Ahh, so nostalgic.

I was in HS when I first heard it on RX 93.1 so nostalgic

The colored display of the 90's vids are really nice. This is real music!!
I been looking for this since 2004! Thanks a bunch for this melody!!
This song withheld the test of time for sure.. Absolutely brilliant/timeless music right here. This song has a powerful reflective presence about it..always has.
How did you get that job? You did great
Awesome lyrics. We need songwriters like them for future generations.
This Song is definitely let Your Anxiety and Depression blown away thru the Air..
ILOVE!!! This Song 😇🙏🙏🙏😇😇
this is such a feel good song
it's so warm and nostalgic
This was one of their biggest hits off of their second studio release, Much Afraid in 1997. Their self-titled first release was in 1995. You're hearing the smooth, unique voice of Dan Hazeltime.

Perhaps you misspelled it on purpose because that is close to how you pronounce it.
@@drfenderfunk Time to eat some hazel nuts? 😁

I also believe the song reveals a truth about child neglect...things aren't always what they seem to the casual observer. Like the parables, you are shocked when the truth is revealed.
Good observation. I've always liked lyrics that don't make sense in a purely linear fashion.
2024 of JunE, stiLL Listening 🇵🇭❤️👍
This my feel good song. 90s Forever!
Haven't heard this in years but I remember every word. ❤
almost forgot this song. so glad I came across this again!
It doesn't necessarily have to be about a man either. This is an honest song about a relationship, which is something Jars of Clay have always been excellent at writing.
This is probably the least talked about JOC album (including the band) but lands as one of my favorites. So solid from start to finish.
One of my JOC's fave songs.
LYRICS :)
A promise or a dare

You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide wide open

You were there when I needed you
You were there when the skies broke wide, wide open
I can't see the promise of
Excuses you fall upon
I pray to God not holding on
To things you've left undone
You were there when I
You were there when I
You were there when I needed you
Maybe deep inside it was indeed all about love, it just got overtaken by all sorts of worries and problems
What?
Thank you!

This is from my favorite Christmas movies with Michael Keaton Jack Frost
This song and video is so cool. God and Jesus are with this group whole heartedly!!!
"A bubblemaker's dream" (I think that was the name of one of their tours from this time period.)
