A 64 year old man sits in Philadelphia with tears to his eyes, I was once a Homeless Alcoholic and have been Alcohol free for 16 years! I am now a Home owner, and give Thanks to God and his beloved son!🙏
I was a street drunk for nearly 20 years. My sweet mom never turned her back on me. She was always there, waiting for me to come home. I finally got sober and she joyfully welcomed me back home. I think she was in denial about my alcoholism. My dad, too. But there they were, waiting fur me. My beautiful granddaughter never saw me drink. Remember: nobody is hopeless. People do change. I did. For parents who have an alcoholic child, please don't give up on them. They gotta hit bottom before reaching out for help.
"And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." - Luke 15:20
I have a son who is breaking my heart and he is so strong and so smart he has no idea what he's doing I am putting in God's hands he's so angry right now and I pray God will help him but he does not understand that and I will keep praying
The only way to truly appreciate Grace and healing is to experience hardship. This is the human experience. This is the set up for the Kingdom of God in Isaiah 25:6-9. Have patience and faith - in time, God will heal all of His sons and daughters.
I have a son who is also, to me, wasting his life and talents now. He used to be smart, helpful and cheerful but has now seemingly lost purpose. He is addicted to his digital devices and falling behind in school. Without too much coercion and nagging, I too pray that he will come back where my wife and I wait for him.
I have a friend who became a meth addict and was/is diagnosed with meth induced schizophrenia. During one of his episodes, he became angry and walked out of my life. He’s now on the streets and haven’t had contact for 3 years. Anytime the phone or doorbell rings I pray its my bud. Please pray for him.
Being a child who went through that and experienced the evils in life and having amazing parents who welcomed me back with nothing but love and acceptance this is very accurate. I tear up every time I play this. Big shout out to the parants who are going through this or have gone through this. You are Angels
My mom just died last month, and she was the rock of our family. She loved GENTRI and this song makes me feel close to her whenever I listen. Such a beautiful song, great work guys!!
@@GENTRImusic AMEN ty! I so needed to hear this my first time weeping and crying thank you so much I was trying to not cry and find something to make me stop crying because I was dealing with panic attacks so I just will receive this as a cleansing crying renewing of my strength and my faith in heavenly father in the name of his son Jesus and the gifts of the holy spirit that will give us that peace that passes all understanding through every struggle and every tear will let us know and feel that miraculous beautiful peace that passes all understanding in the name of Jesus I pray everybody amen
I got up this morning to get ready for church and prayed to be drawn to a musical message that I needed because music heals me, it uplifts me, it is a big part of my life. Currently at this moment, going through this almost exact scenario with a loved one and I just sat and cried. We've held on... we haven't let go... but, we are so weary and at a loss for what to do anymore and this has given me peace and strength to continue to hold on and to trust in the Lord's hands. Thank you for this
I hope and pray for the best for you friend May God help you in whatever situation you are Same for everyone else that is reading this comment God bless you all 🙏
******Update******** A year ago when I posted this... right afterwards we had our loved one change and come back for the first time in 10 years. It was wonderful. And just recently a scenario happened that put this person back in the same state of mind and thus returning to the same destructive patterns and it will probably change things negatively for them for a while because of consequences of those choices. My heart broke this morning, but as I was listening to this song again, I envisioned the Savior holding me and telling me not to let go... and let me know that he will continue to stand by me through this heartache. I'm choosing to look for that little thread of light during the hard times because there's always something there and even if I can find gratitude for the precious time I had to see the change with this person and for who I know they are in their hearts, gratitude heals and helps us hold on. May all of you know that you are not alone. This Earth life is full of Trials, but it is also full of joy and we are not walking this journey alone. Blessings to all
Thank you for such an inspiring song. My parents weren’t much of expressing love. Long story short I was homeless at age 16. And nobody ever came back to look for me. But I always known Father God, the Creator: the divine source of the universe would always he at my side. And I am ever grateful for that.. and blessed.
I was legally emancipated at 16. Homeless before and after more than once. Mother kicked me out at 13. I am wanting to love God like so many do. Born Mary Katherine then raised Jewish until put in a mental hospital at 13. Group homes after the hospital kicked me out.
I was also homeless at 16 I have to learn how to defend myself and learn to live alone at 16 and it was really hard I couldn't depend on my parents either because they're the ones that kicked me out I was not wanted at 16 I know how you feel this song really touched me as well it was a really inspiring song ❤️💓 I am much stronger I have much faith in God I am so glad I never did drugs in my life but it was rough I had to live in shelters but but I never will turn into a prostitute that's something I would never done somebody had to teach me who Jesus was who he was cuz I didn't know who he was
Regardless what song is playing there is no love like the unconditional love that a mother has for her family, except for the love our good Lord has for us all!

My father just passed on Aug. 28th 2021 at 89 after being ill with Parkinson's Disease. He never let go of me (and I gave him many reasons to).Fortunately I was able to be with him to take care of him for the last three years. I will always love Him as well as my heavenly father who still hasn't let go of me.
This music video has a powerful message. Thank you Gentri for inspiring us to love each other unconditionally. To all those parents and children who decided to part each other's lives...please reconsider connecting again. Stop being stubborn and accept that with forgiveness comes an element of humility too. Life's too short. Good luck reconnecting...don't let go 💛

I would listen to this song when I was a OTR truck driver ( doing it for experience) away from my family and after a year and 9 months The Lord opened up a door a local gig and I can’t thank Him enough ! Truly there’s no God like Our Lord Jesus Christ

I cried all day today for my Son who will soon be 38, but he can’t seem to get on his own feet, and he alienated everyone trying to love him with his bad habits. He is a part of my heart and although I can’t live with him, I can’t let go. I just want him to see what a beautiful person he is like the rest of us, but something is torturing his soul and he just doesn’t seem to value his life. It breaks my heart ❤️, but I give it to God. I have to. I’ll never let go of him. 🙏🏽😒🥰. Thank you for this beautiful song. I listened to it until it made me cry too much so I had to take pause. God Bless You and Abide with you. (Another of your great Songs).
As someone who suffers with depression, a pain addiction, and an eating disorder... this hits home. Someone hasn't given up on me, and while she struggles too, I hope she'll never let go. She's the only one who can get me to change, actually convince me to live and take care of myself. Maybe one day I'll feel a hug. But late at night, her voice echoes in my head. Please don't let go of me. We all have that one person. All addictions and struggles with mental health are valid, but please, find someone willing to be your ONE. Someone who won't let go.
Mary Nesbit, That was beautifully said, & heart felt. Thank you for being “real” & for sharing such true & heartfelt words & feelings! May Heavenly Father bless you, & bless those around you. That He will Especially bless the “One” in your life & that she will “Never Let Go” of you! Wouldn’t it be lovely if everyone could be that “One” for another person. All souls are great in the sight of God!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Don't give up praying..my mom waited for me to come back for 13 years..and now I can't imagine my life without Jesus! He will do for you so much more..don't let go of your prayers and trust Him who is able to do exceedingly more than you can ever think. God bless you and your family
Oh my God, you just ripped my heart out of my chest! I live in the heart of downtown Toronto, the city of almost 7,000,000 people, and I see young men like this every day of my life, and I pray to God they find the help they need, that they might find a happy ending like the guy did in this video, but the sad reality is, many of them die before they even have a chance for reconciliation. It breaks everything in me to see these people living on the streets, and inevitably addicted to drugs or alcohol, and suffering from mental health problems, which sadly, all goes with the territory of living on the streets, because nobody could do it sober, I couldn’t, I would die. Life teaches us many lessons, since I was 20, for the past 31 years I’ve been going through nonstop surgery because of cancer and Crohn’s disease, and I finally learned my lesson about 10 years ago when I hit rock bottom, after being released from the hospital, being told I could never return to work again, having used up every penny of my savings, if it were not for my spouse, I would’ve been homeless. You’re talking to somebody who grew up in a wealthy household, until I was 20, I wanted for nothing, and nothing could’ve ever convinced me that I could’ve ended up on the streets, but there I was, literally one person away from being homeless. It scared the hell out of me, but it open my heart, and my eyes, to the plight of so many people, thousands of people, homeless, alone, scared, sick, with nobody to give a damn about them. But I do, and I don’t think until you’ve hit rock bottom can you actually realize just how easy it is to become them. So even though I have very little in the way of money, I’ll give them whatever I can spare, pray for them, and thank God every day of my life that my family was there to save me from living on the streets. So I beg you, all of you, the next time you see a homeless person, don’t be so quick to judge, because you have no idea how or why that person ended up on the streets, and as I just told you, it can happen to anybody, regardless of how much money you have. Money is momentary, health is momentary, nothing is certain, except love and acceptance. Please learn from my experiences, and please show some compassion to the people who need it the most, nobody wants to be homeless. I know they can seem scary to some people, but they’re just people, people who have fell on hard times, and for whatever reason, have ended up on the street. It’s not for me to judge anyone, but it is for me to try to help whenever I can. Even if I haven’t got money, I will stop, and talk to them for a few moments, because I know they appreciate it, as most people pretend they’re not even there, but I make sure that they know, that they’re human beings, and that they matter, and are worthy of love. If it wasn’t for my health, I would be working in social services to help people, because you don’t know how terrifying it is not knowing where your next meal is coming from, where you’re going to sleep that night, or all the other nightmares that come along with being homeless. When I was younger and cruelly ignorant, I too would thumb my nose up at the homeless, with a look of disgust, and I’m so ashamed of myself for doing that. I just pray to God that he can forgive me for my actions when I was younger, and help me find my way as I get older, to help me help these people in anyway I possibly can. Money is nothing in the bigger picture, but love is the most precious and important thing of all, please remember that, thank you, and god bless ❤️
I was homeless four times between 2002 and 2010. As I watched this I could not stop crying. The pain of those times never leaves, as well as the fear that it could happen again. I am thinking of those now homeless and in despair. Please think of them and say a prayer this Holy Night. I shared this with about 20 groups regarding homelessness and depression.
@@billhiggins-ha4all795 I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, but so happy you’re off the streets. Feel free to share my story with anyone, I think it shows people who thinks it could,never happen to them, to think again, to be more appreciative of what they have, and more compassionate to those struggling on the streets. God bless you, and Merry Christmas.
I just can't believe the passion and the depth of beauty in all of your voices. I'm a 6;'4" 245 lb man and well, I"m hoping no one sees me watching these videos. I"m a wreck right now! :) What a discovery you gents are!!
God bless u my brother in CHRIST 🙏🏼☝️❤✌✌ I may not know you but your heart just spoke through me and you probably are Weeping like I am watching this for the first time and I was already in the midst have a really bad panic attack and severe depression and I am terminally ill and I fight daily an emotional physical roller coaster ride! My kids are a thousand miles away from me and I miss them dearly but it's not all about me it's about what am I here for! My twin died almost 5 years ago during a nap that we were both taking and beautiful dream that I had was so miraculous as we are riding Dolphins holding hands and laughing! My so couldn't wait to tell her my dream and instead I got the phone call saying that she had died during that nap and I know that God works in mysterious ways he works in always will always work in our life as we need not feel it as we may not always feel his presence he is with us by faith I truly believe in Heavenly Father and in every struggle that is so painful to get through I know that I will get through and then it will strengthen my testimony and trust me I've been through hell and back I don't think that's even the question it is what I've been through and what is not wrong with me physically with the tumors disease and being terminally ill with many other issues that are hitting me hard daily and I no longer work haven't seen my kids but I can talk to them through Modern Day technology and I'm grateful for that! So I try to be grateful for what I do have and be thankful for what I can do and I'm a very emotional heart and soul I feel everybody's pain and the funny thing is is that I asked for it! I said please don't let my children never suffer but that's not be reality because we all are going to suffer and how I can teach them while I'm still on this Earth or anybody around me that I know love or don't even know what I can shared my testimony is that we will make it through struggles because Heavenly Father won't give us more than what we can't handle and by my faith I believe in eternity and I'm so grateful that we had such a loving Heavenly Father through his son Jesus and the gifts of the Holy Spirit that feels me and I cry and cry and cry it's always been that way and it's beautiful because it's cleansing and it's okay to be 610 and 300 lb and cry! To me that is the heart of a real man who truly does Care & love and I hope that this comment finds you and yours in happiness and I just pray peace that passes all understanding for everybody for every day that we wake and every breath that we take let us feel that miraculous peace that passes all understanding and every struggle we can get through it may suck in the midst of it! Sometimes I think God saying you need to come a little bit closer to me now when we lose ourselves in other things and our heavenly father just wants to hear from us and I talked to him in Jesus just as much as I talk to my twin my angel and this Friday will be our birthday and it's hard but it's awesome miraculous because I do believe in eternity and I know what we're doing on Earth is very hard but TimeWise it is a blink of an eye. Compared to Infinity so just keep loving and growing and praying as I will to God bless all with peace surpasses all understanding🙏🏼☝️❤✌
I'm back again, crying. contact with my sister after 20yrs, also her son. Healing of past family issues. I need these words now and in the coming days, weeks. I'm so glad I know my Jesus.
@@Thestudiedtheist praise the Lord Eric. You got this. Never ever let anyone tell you you don't. Rise and shine like the light you are 💝💪🤟☝️👊 don't let go 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. Just like the Prodigal Son. Wow. We must never let go 😭💕 Praise God, He doesn't!!! The one thing unlike the Prodigal Son story is that the father was partly to blame in this video. So thankful we can never lay any blame at our Heavenly Father's feet. 💗
I'm 70 years old, and when I was sent away, I remember coming home and getting a hug from my mom__it felt so good, can feel that hug to this day. This song brings i t all back to me. Housing with such love in your heart.

Absolutely beautiful song. I literally cried, not ashamed of saying so. Yes! We all need someone to hold on to. Jesus is the best one to hold our hands, when we feel like letting go. When He is holding our hands, He CV wouldn't let go, because He loves us with all His heart, just like the father in this video, was glad to see his son, who welcomed him with open arms. Jesus does the same when we stray from Him. He watches and wait for us to return to Him. So, my brother and my sister, DON'T LET GO!!!!!
For all intents and purposes, I am an adult orphan. I have two living biological parents but their divorce devastated me and decimated our family of origin. Both of our parents put their new spouses before their own children. There are no seats at their tables for me or their grandchildren and I try hard to give my children the message that they do belong, that they are valued, that God loves them so much. It is hard because I still struggle to believe this truth in the "real" world. What an absolutely beautiful song and video. Such lovely harmonies.
I wish this song applied to me. Haven't spoken to my father since 18th Sept 2012 in the parking lot of our church after my mother's funeral. His grief took over and he simply refused to be my father after that day. I still think about him every single day. Happy Father's Day, Dad.
I don't know why, but every time that I hear this song I started to cry. My live had a few similar steps, so i really feel the emotions in the video.Especially at the end. Maybe it is because i am blessed with lovely parents, but also i think because I recognised that I have a lovely father in heaven.
I lost my son and know the heart ache of it...especially when he died in my arms. You never quit loving your children even when they've grown up. I love this song by Gentri because it told this story well😢
Gentri, I am in rise up childrens choir and after I was in a video with you I was interested in watching your other videos. So I clicked on this. That click was probably the best thing I have done in a month.This is literally the most touching thing I have ever seen. Please! Please keep making videos like this one. It impacted me greatly, and really does change the lives of the people that see it. Thank you for your Testimony's, this made my day, my week and my life really! I cried through the whole thing. It made me feel a little bit of how much God truly loves us and wishes we would come home. Never stop being such impactful examples and missionaries. Thanks again for helping me realize the Power of Forgiveness!!! best wishes
A 70 year old man must confess near Seattle. For 20 years I put myself in harms way. Cocain, meth, presp. all drugs I could find. Nothing mattered but my next needle of death everything lost my home, cars, wife, children, every thing I cherished. Now I have 31 years sober. My wife & children gave me a second chance. Bought new home, car all on budget. I thank God for his forgiveness.
Wow… 😭 Extremely moving, I’m at a loss for words and that’s rarely the case! What a great video for an absolutely beautiful song! It makes a big difference when the a message and/or purpose is clear. The song stands on it’s own well, but the production made this a grand-slam. It’s powerful and shows how we free ourselves through the tender mercy and grace of a loving Savior. Forgiveness and compassion are always needed to get past life’s hardships. Thanks guys! I’m going to have to add them to my iTunes as soon as I dry my tear-soaked face and can see the screen again. And Wow is the biggest compliment I can give.
I have watched this several times. I cry every time I watch it. Just like the prodical son. I have a unruly son right now. I pray God will bring him back to us. He needs Jesus so bad. I can see myself long ago in my son. i TOO WAS UNRULY but I did come to Jesus. Any Prayers are welcome. Thank you for all your songs.

I thank all that have responded here, particularly the group. As a veteran with a full disability, I volunteer 40-50 hours a week in homelessness issues. The first part is regulating how homeless services are provided through the Maine Continuum of Care (CoC) Board and subcommittees. The second is leading Homeless Advocacy for All (Ha4aLL). facebook.com/Homeless-Advocacy-for-All-1906793862752116/
This made me feel the spirit so strongly when you reference Christ's outstretched hand. I love this song and it makes me think of the Savior every time I listen to it.
Eso es verdad que espiritu de verdad al ver este video gracias a dios alos grandes profetas y a cristos por revelar las cosas de la eternidad y su gran amor de el padre celestial el siempre esta con sus brazos
dont give up to contact him...i did the same many years ago when I was 18...one of my biggest mistakes. 10 years later he died and I could not apologize...
Just continue to show love however you can. Whether his leaving was your fault or his always seek to make amends and offer love regardless of the outcome. Some people need to not just hit rock bottom but stay there a while before they realize the need to change and some will never change but still offer love everyday. Love can overcome all things There are those in the world who came from horrible circumstances and seem to be going only down hill but you would be amazed at how much good a little patience and love can do to help those in need.
God bless all who are saddened and need the strength of JESUS!! I lost my beloved husband on March 5th, 2020..........just before the world collapsed! Mine collapsed but God took me under His wings of love! May you all who have lost, let God hold you in his loving arms! In Jesus Name.....AMEN
This song and the love on this father and sons face touches my soul! I cry every single time I listen to this beautiful song! The Prodigal Son is a true example of pure Love! One day I will share my own story! Thank you Gentry! Love you guys..your music helps so many ways!

the video makes me think of the prodigal son. And yes, I cry when I listen to this. Beautiful! Or a second thought….we are the son and God is the Father who will welcome us back with open arms and love us unconditionally.
This video just opened the floodgates of tears and regret my son was taken from me at age 31 I let go and lost him. I wish I could of gone back-in time

SOME TIMES A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS CAN CHANGE A RELATIONSHIP FOR A LIFETIME......WORDS CAN'T BE TAKEN BACK ONLY FORGIVEN BUT YOU WLL ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM.....CHOOSE YOUR WORDS WISELY ....LOVE, BOB S. FOX, PALM SPRINGS, CA. USA
As a father of 4 beautiful successful loving adult sons whom I love more than myself and who love me back, this about broke my heart! What a wonderful ending. If it does not bring a tear to your eyes then wow. Beautiful song!
Thank you so much for the song! It made me cry really hard . It shows the earthly father‘s love, and the heavenly father‘s love for us. He will never let us go even when we’re in the darkness and we can’t see the light. He is still there, waiting and reaching for us to pick us up and carry us through To His Loving arms.
The awesome thing is when we do not feel worthy to talk to Heavenly Father that’s when he wants us to turn to him most. Heavenly Father loves us even when we cast him out.
The part that gets me is the part where the dad welcomes his son back home open arms most fathers are good and they’ll always love you and welcome you with open arms
Touching my soul...how I wish my parents had never let go of me when I changed religions. They're gone now, were forgiven long ago. Thank you for such a beautiful reminder of Christ's love for us.
Such a powerful song. To those who have been kicked out or lived on the streets know that God has and will always love you. For those who grew-up with a Father or Mother know that life will get better. We are all here for a reason and though we don't know the specifics we do know that God loves us and sent us here for a short time to learn to be more like him. The most important thing you can do in your life is to share love with those around you. We are all imperfect and make mistakes but there is one who loves us despite our failings. For those who have left home on your own sometimes you have legitimate reasons and sometimes the reasons are purely selfish and immature but I can tell you that in most cases your parents do love you more than you know. Just remember they are imperfect as well and will continue to make mistakes but they still love you.
I've heard the story of the prodigal son so many times but now I'm a mom to a 1 year old boy and watching this movie tonight it just struck my heart in such a way and brought tears to my eyes. When my baby grows up, no matter what choices he makes in life or even if he pushes me away I'll never stop loving him unconditionally. I will always run to him and accept him with open arms because it would break my heart to see him struggling alone. Now that I'm a mom i think I'll always have that instinct to comfort my baby when he needs help no matter how old he gets.
Lockdown 2020 I'm here in Melbourne Australia. It was like you were singing to me. your singing with videos are so powerfully moving. Here I am sobbing like a baby thinking where did these Awsome singers come from ? Thank you for putting a smile during this difficult time. I think Jesus and my Angel brought me here , they have a habit of bringing me to help xx
Tears burst out when I first heard this beautiful song just now, I'm from Hong Kong, and you may probably know why this song touches me so deeply...thank you for soothing my tiring and heart broken emotion

"But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him." Luke 15:20
I was a street drunk for nearly 20 years. My sweet mom never turned her back on me. She was always there, waiting for me to come home. I finally got sober and she joyfully welcomed me back home. I think she was in denial about my alcoholism. My dad, too. But there they were, waiting fur me. My beautiful granddaughter never saw me drink. Remember: nobody is hopeless. People do change. I did. For parents who have an alcoholic child, please don't give up on them. They gotta hit bottom before reaching out for help.
I Haven't seen my son for years, all over money which means little to me. I miss him terribly, maybe one day.
"And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." - Luke 15:20
Well being a father or mother that's what it's all about when you love ur kids and that nerve leaves you

I was that prodigal.
@@anthonylusardi8789 So was I, and oh how it hurt to wake up to the reality of it. But how strong the love of those who never gave up on us
The prodigal son. I think that hand coming out of the fade was Jesus reaching out to him to pull him out
I have a son who is breaking my heart and he is so strong and so smart he has no idea what he's doing I am putting in God's hands he's so angry right now and I pray God will help him but he does not understand that and I will keep praying
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The only way to truly appreciate Grace and healing is to experience hardship.
This is the human experience. This is the set up for the Kingdom of God in Isaiah 25:6-9.
Have patience and faith - in time, God will heal all of His sons and daughters.

I have a son who is also, to me, wasting his life and talents now. He used to be smart, helpful and cheerful but has now seemingly lost purpose. He is addicted to his digital devices and falling behind in school. Without too much coercion and nagging, I too pray that he will come back where my wife and I wait for him.
I have a friend who became a meth addict and was/is diagnosed with meth induced schizophrenia. During one of his episodes, he became angry and walked out of my life. He’s now on the streets and haven’t had contact for 3 years. Anytime the phone or doorbell rings I pray its my bud. Please pray for him.

We feel the same for our daughter. The hurt is so deep 💔. The rejection, so painful.
Being a child who went through that and experienced the evils in life and having amazing parents who welcomed me back with nothing but love and acceptance this is very accurate. I tear up every time I play this. Big shout out to the parants who are going through this or have gone through this. You are Angels

May God always bless you! ❤

I couldn’t hold back the tears . This song is so emotional. 😢
There is no way to count the number of times God has carried me. Thank you, Father.
My mom just died last month, and she was the rock of our family. She loved GENTRI and this song makes me feel close to her whenever I listen. Such a beautiful song, great work guys!!
😢😢 qué en Gloria esté 🙏

Beautiful song and marvelous performance!🙏💕
I tear up each time I listened to this song. GOD has restored the relationship between My Son and myself.
Cried all the way through this as we have lived this. Praise God for the sobriety of our son and healing restoration!
There is always a way back no matter how far gone one may seem or feel. Thanks for sharing, Cindy! ^The Gents

Awesome, how is he doing today on his recovery ??
Give him strength fight. Amen
I got up this morning to get ready for church and prayed to be drawn to a musical message that I needed because music heals me, it uplifts me, it is a big part of my life. Currently at this moment, going through this almost exact scenario with a loved one and I just sat and cried. We've held on... we haven't let go... but, we are so weary and at a loss for what to do anymore and this has given me peace and strength to continue to hold on and to trust in the Lord's hands. Thank you for this
Abba will not let you down. He is faithful and has heard your hearts cry.
❤️love from N.Ireland☘️🕊 🙏🏽 ..you encouraged me Keep looking to the Father of all comfort He is able to reach where we cannot..He is always working
I hope and pray for the best for you friend
May God help you in whatever situation you are
Same for everyone else that is reading this comment
God bless you all 🙏
******Update********
A year ago when I posted this... right afterwards we had our loved one change and come back for the first time in 10 years. It was wonderful. And just recently a scenario happened that put this person back in the same state of mind and thus returning to the same destructive patterns and it will probably change things negatively for them for a while because of consequences of those choices. My heart broke this morning, but as I was listening to this song again, I envisioned the Savior holding me and telling me not to let go... and let me know that he will continue to stand by me through this heartache. I'm choosing to look for that little thread of light during the hard times because there's always something there and even if I can find gratitude for the precious time I had to see the change with this person and for who I know they are in their hearts, gratitude heals and helps us hold on. May all of you know that you are not alone. This Earth life is full of Trials, but it is also full of joy and we are not walking this journey alone.
Blessings to all
Thank you for such an inspiring song. My parents weren’t much of expressing love. Long story short I was homeless at age 16. And nobody ever came back to look for me. But I always known Father God, the Creator: the divine source of the universe would always he at my side. And I am ever grateful for that.. and blessed.
🖤🖤🖤
I was legally emancipated at 16. Homeless before and after more than once. Mother kicked me out at 13. I am wanting to love God like so many do. Born Mary Katherine then raised Jewish until put in a mental hospital at 13. Group homes after the hospital kicked me out.
I was also homeless at 16 I have to learn how to defend myself and learn to live alone at 16 and it was really hard I couldn't depend on my parents either because they're the ones that kicked me out I was not wanted at 16 I know how you feel this song really touched me as well it was a really inspiring song ❤️💓 I am much stronger I have much faith in God I am so glad I never did drugs in my life but it was rough I had to live in shelters but but I never will turn into a prostitute that's something I would never done somebody had to teach me who Jesus was who he was cuz I didn't know who he was
I am so sorry no one fought for you. Here to listen if ever you need to vent. I am on FB.
@@melrosemiss you can find me on Facebook I can add you look for Rebecca sucharda thank you I really do sometimes need to vent
Regardless what song is playing there is no love like the unconditional love that a mother has for her family, except for the love our good Lord has for us all!

I agree with you
My father just passed on Aug. 28th 2021 at 89 after being ill with Parkinson's Disease. He never let go of me (and I gave him many reasons to).Fortunately I was able to be with him to take care of him for the last three years. I will always love Him as well as my heavenly father who still hasn't let go of me.
This music video has a powerful message. Thank you Gentri for inspiring us to love each other unconditionally. To all those parents and children who decided to part each other's lives...please reconsider connecting again. Stop being stubborn and accept that with forgiveness comes an element of humility too. Life's too short. Good luck reconnecting...don't let go 💛
Just because you can biologically bear crotch fruit, doesn't mean you deserve to be a parent.

I would listen to this song when I was a OTR truck driver ( doing it for experience) away from my family and after a year and 9 months The Lord opened up a door a local gig and I can’t thank Him enough ! Truly there’s no God like Our Lord Jesus Christ
I just can't.. Wow! As a parent who went through an estrangement with a child, this just brings tears. Wonderful and blessed. Thank you!
So you admit you abandoned your child. Asshole.

I cried all day today for my Son who will soon be 38, but he can’t seem to get on his own feet, and he alienated everyone trying to love him with his bad habits. He is a part of my heart and although I can’t live with him, I can’t let go. I just want him to see what a beautiful person he is like the rest of us, but something is torturing his soul and he just doesn’t seem to value his life. It breaks my heart ❤️, but I give it to God. I have to. I’ll never let go of him. 🙏🏽😒🥰. Thank you for this beautiful song. I listened to it until it made me cry too much so I had to take pause. God Bless You and Abide with you. (Another of your great Songs).
It's beautifully done. The orchestration is spot on, too and these 3 fellas really blend well together. 👌 😢🎉❤
😢😢😢😢
As someone who suffers with depression, a pain addiction, and an eating disorder... this hits home. Someone hasn't given up on me, and while she struggles too, I hope she'll never let go. She's the only one who can get me to change, actually convince me to live and take care of myself. Maybe one day I'll feel a hug. But late at night, her voice echoes in my head. Please don't let go of me. We all have that one person. All addictions and struggles with mental health are valid, but please, find someone willing to be your ONE. Someone who won't let go.
Mary Nesbit, That was beautifully said, & heart felt. Thank you for being “real” & for sharing such true & heartfelt words & feelings! May Heavenly Father bless you, & bless those around you. That He will Especially bless the “One” in your life & that she will “Never Let Go” of you!
Wouldn’t it be lovely if everyone could be that “One” for another person. All souls are great in the sight of God!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Take the hand of Jesus, He olds you daily and He won't let go, ever.
Yea im feeling like that at the moment
❤❤✝✝ I love Ya! My prayers are with you!
This video reminded me to never let go of God's promise to see my son restored and back home again, God bless you for this beautiful song and video.
I hope you will have your son again in this life. I will have my son again in the spirit world.
Don't give up praying..my mom waited for me to come back for 13 years..and now I can't imagine my life without Jesus! He will do for you so much more..don't let go of your prayers and trust Him who is able to do exceedingly more than you can ever think. God bless you and your family
Praying the same for my grandson Matthew.

@@jmdl9584 I subscribed. I would love to talk to you about my missing daughter...please. delindastout@gmail.com
Oh my God, you just ripped my heart out of my chest! I live in the heart of downtown Toronto, the city of almost 7,000,000 people, and I see young men like this every day of my life, and I pray to God they find the help they need, that they might find a happy ending like the guy did in this video, but the sad reality is, many of them die before they even have a chance for reconciliation. It breaks everything in me to see these people living on the streets, and inevitably addicted to drugs or alcohol, and suffering from mental health problems, which sadly, all goes with the territory of living on the streets, because nobody could do it sober, I couldn’t, I would die. Life teaches us many lessons, since I was 20, for the past 31 years I’ve been going through nonstop surgery because of cancer and Crohn’s disease, and I finally learned my lesson about 10 years ago when I hit rock bottom, after being released from the hospital, being told I could never return to work again, having used up every penny of my savings, if it were not for my spouse, I would’ve been homeless. You’re talking to somebody who grew up in a wealthy household, until I was 20, I wanted for nothing, and nothing could’ve ever convinced me that I could’ve ended up on the streets, but there I was, literally one person away from being homeless. It scared the hell out of me, but it open my heart, and my eyes, to the plight of so many people, thousands of people, homeless, alone, scared, sick, with nobody to give a damn about them. But I do, and I don’t think until you’ve hit rock bottom can you actually realize just how easy it is to become them. So even though I have very little in the way of money, I’ll give them whatever I can spare, pray for them, and thank God every day of my life that my family was there to save me from living on the streets. So I beg you, all of you, the next time you see a homeless person, don’t be so quick to judge, because you have no idea how or why that person ended up on the streets, and as I just told you, it can happen to anybody, regardless of how much money you have. Money is momentary, health is momentary, nothing is certain, except love and acceptance. Please learn from my experiences, and please show some compassion to the people who need it the most, nobody wants to be homeless. I know they can seem scary to some people, but they’re just people, people who have fell on hard times, and for whatever reason, have ended up on the street. It’s not for me to judge anyone, but it is for me to try to help whenever I can. Even if I haven’t got money, I will stop, and talk to them for a few moments, because I know they appreciate it, as most people pretend they’re not even there, but I make sure that they know, that they’re human beings, and that they matter, and are worthy of love. If it wasn’t for my health, I would be working in social services to help people, because you don’t know how terrifying it is not knowing where your next meal is coming from, where you’re going to sleep that night, or all the other nightmares that come along with being homeless. When I was younger and cruelly ignorant, I too would thumb my nose up at the homeless, with a look of disgust, and I’m so ashamed of myself for doing that. I just pray to God that he can forgive me for my actions when I was younger, and help me find my way as I get older, to help me help these people in anyway I possibly can. Money is nothing in the bigger picture, but love is the most precious and important thing of all, please remember that, thank you, and god bless ❤️
Hi. God's love never fails ❤️wait and see 🤔🤔🤔
I was homeless four times between 2002 and 2010. As I watched this I could not stop crying. The pain of those times never leaves, as well as the fear that it could happen again. I am thinking of those now homeless and in despair. Please think of them and say a prayer this Holy Night. I shared this with about 20 groups regarding homelessness and depression.
@@billhiggins-ha4all795 I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, but so happy you’re off the streets. Feel free to share my story with anyone, I think it shows people who thinks it could,never happen to them, to think again, to be more appreciative of what they have, and more compassionate to those struggling on the streets. God bless you, and Merry Christmas.

Carlo you and I both! I'm a 51 year old 6' 300lb man not ashamed to say I LOVE these guys...just discovered them couple months ago.
God bless u my brother in CHRIST 🙏🏼☝️❤✌✌ I may not know you but your heart just spoke through me and you probably are Weeping like I am watching this for the first time and I was already in the midst have a really bad panic attack and severe depression and I am terminally ill and I fight daily an emotional physical roller coaster ride! My kids are a thousand miles away from me and I miss them dearly but it's not all about me it's about what am I here for! My twin died almost 5 years ago during a nap that we were both taking and beautiful dream that I had was so miraculous as we are riding Dolphins holding hands and laughing! My so couldn't wait to tell her my dream and instead I got the phone call saying that she had died during that nap and I know that God works in mysterious ways he works in always will always work in our life as we need not feel it as we may not always feel his presence he is with us by faith I truly believe in Heavenly Father and in every struggle that is so painful to get through I know that I will get through and then it will strengthen my testimony and trust me I've been through hell and back I don't think that's even the question it is what I've been through and what is not wrong with me physically with the tumors disease and being terminally ill with many other issues that are hitting me hard daily and I no longer work haven't seen my kids but I can talk to them through Modern Day technology and I'm grateful for that! So I try to be grateful for what I do have and be thankful for what I can do and I'm a very emotional heart and soul I feel everybody's pain and the funny thing is is that I asked for it! I said please don't let my children never suffer but that's not be reality because we all are going to suffer and how I can teach them while I'm still on this Earth or anybody around me that I know love or don't even know what I can shared my testimony is that we will make it through struggles because Heavenly Father won't give us more than what we can't handle and by my faith I believe in eternity and I'm so grateful that we had such a loving Heavenly Father through his son Jesus and the gifts of the Holy Spirit that feels me and I cry and cry and cry it's always been that way and it's beautiful because it's cleansing and it's okay to be 610 and 300 lb and cry! To me that is the heart of a real man who truly does Care & love and I hope that this comment finds you and yours in happiness and I just pray peace that passes all understanding for everybody for every day that we wake and every breath that we take let us feel that miraculous peace that passes all understanding and every struggle we can get through it may suck in the midst of it! Sometimes I think God saying you need to come a little bit closer to me now when we lose ourselves in other things and our heavenly father just wants to hear from us and I talked to him in Jesus just as much as I talk to my twin my angel and this Friday will be our birthday and it's hard but it's awesome miraculous because I do believe in eternity and I know what we're doing on Earth is very hard but TimeWise it is a blink of an eye. Compared to Infinity so just keep loving and growing and praying as I will to God bless all with peace surpasses all understanding🙏🏼☝️❤✌
I know the feeling brother I am about your size. But it is healthy to cry. no matter if your 7 foot tall and 350lbs. Let it out.
Thank you, gentlemen of the Lord. God bless you
I'm back again, crying. contact with my sister after 20yrs, also her son. Healing of past family issues. I need these words now and in the coming days, weeks. I'm so glad I know my Jesus.

Absolutely beautiful song. I literally cried, not ashamed of saying so.
Yes! We all need someone to hold on to. Jesus is the best one to hold our hands, when we feel like letting go. When He is holding our hands, He CV wouldn't let go, because He loves us with all His heart, just like the father in this video, was glad to see his son, who welcomed him with open arms. Jesus does the same when we stray from Him. He watches and wait for us to return to Him. So, my brother and my sister, DON'T LET GO!!!!!
Never give up, God is with you all the way. He goes with you.
For all intents and purposes, I am an adult orphan. I have two living biological parents but their divorce devastated me and decimated our family of origin. Both of our parents put their new spouses before their own children. There are no seats at their tables for me or their grandchildren and I try hard to give my children the message that they do belong, that they are valued, that God loves them so much. It is hard because I still struggle to believe this truth in the "real" world.
What an absolutely beautiful song and video. Such lovely harmonies.
Demikian kasih Tuhan buat kami
So much of this in our family. God is the only way. Praying that the demonic ties are broken in Jesus name. Amen
I wish this song applied to me. Haven't spoken to my father since 18th Sept 2012 in the parking lot of our church after my mother's funeral.
His grief took over and he simply refused to be my father after that day.
I still think about him every single day.
Happy Father's Day, Dad.
I'm so sorry to hear that. So you basically lost both your mom and your dad at the same time. Sad. Sending love and hugs to you.
You make me cry 😭 each time. I feel I am holding Heavenly Father's hand and my Savior Jesus Christ. 🙏🌻❤️🕊️😢
Same 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I don't know why, but every time that I hear this song I started to cry. My live had a few similar steps, so i really feel the emotions in the video.Especially at the end. Maybe it is because i am blessed with lovely parents, but also i think because I recognised that I have a lovely father in heaven.
Gracias Señor por estar junto a mi y a toda la humanidad, bendice a Colombia y a todos tus hijos.
I lost my son and know the heart ache of it...especially when he died in my arms. You never quit loving your children even when they've grown up. I love this song by Gentri because it told this story well😢
Gentri, I am in rise up childrens choir and after I was in a video with you I was interested in watching your other videos. So I clicked on this. That click was probably the best thing I have done in a month.This is literally the most touching thing I have ever seen. Please! Please keep making videos like this one. It impacted me greatly, and really does change the lives of the people that see it. Thank you for your Testimony's, this made my day, my week and my life really! I cried through the whole thing. It made me feel a little bit of how much God truly loves us and wishes we would come home. Never stop being such impactful examples and missionaries. Thanks again for helping me realize the Power of Forgiveness!!! best wishes
This reminds me of the son coming back to his father in the bible....
A 70 year old man must confess near Seattle. For 20 years I put myself in harms way. Cocain, meth,
presp. all drugs I could find. Nothing mattered but my next needle of death everything lost my home, cars, wife, children, every thing I cherished.
Now I have 31 years sober. My wife & children gave me a second chance. Bought new home, car all on budget. I thank God for his forgiveness.

Great tribute to the Bible’s story of the Prodigal Son!!!
If only all parents were like this.
Wow… 😭 Extremely moving, I’m at a loss for words and that’s rarely the case! What a great video for an absolutely beautiful song! It makes a big difference when the a message and/or purpose is clear. The song stands on it’s own well, but the production made this a grand-slam. It’s powerful and shows how we free ourselves through the tender mercy and grace of a loving Savior. Forgiveness and compassion are always needed to get past life’s hardships. Thanks guys! I’m going to have to add them to my iTunes as soon as I dry my tear-soaked face and can see the screen again. And Wow is the biggest compliment I can give.
Brilliant song don't let go God is with you through it all always by your side
I have watched this several times. I cry every time I watch it. Just like the prodical son. I have a unruly son right now. I pray God will bring him back to us. He needs Jesus so bad. I can see myself long ago in my son.

I was homeless four times between 2002 and 2010. As I watched this I could not stop crying. The pain of those times never leaves, as well as the fear that it could happen again. I am thinking of those now homeless and in despair. Please think of them and say a prayer this Holy Night. I shared this with about 20 groups regarding homelessness and depression.
I thank all that have responded here, particularly the group. As a veteran with a full disability, I volunteer 40-50 hours a week in homelessness issues. The first part is regulating how homeless services are provided through the Maine Continuum of Care (CoC) Board and subcommittees. The second is leading Homeless Advocacy for All (Ha4aLL). facebook.com/Homeless-Advocacy-for-All-1906793862752116/
This is so very powerful. My eyes are leaking...
That’s why God’s love is boundless and endless. One just takes you as you are regardless of how many times you fail and fall
This made me feel the spirit so strongly when you reference Christ's outstretched hand. I love this song and it makes me think of the Savior every time I listen to it.
I cried 😢. What a beautiful song! My son's dad left us. 40 years later I found the most perfect man..and he loves my son!
My son's 24 now. He waited 21 years for a real father, and I finally found one!
WOW! WOW! WOW! Beautiful song and video.. So Beautiful!!!
Eso es verdad que espiritu de verdad al ver este video gracias a dios alos grandes profetas y a cristos por revelar las cosas de la eternidad y su gran amor de el padre celestial el siempre esta con sus brazos
I cry each time I listen to this. My Son has left me on his own terms and I miss him each day 😢
dont give up to contact him...i did the same many years ago when I was 18...one of my biggest mistakes. 10 years later he died and I could not apologize...
same here. If you want support, I'm here.
Same with my son
Just continue to show love however you can. Whether his leaving was your fault or his always seek to make amends and offer love regardless of the outcome. Some people need to not just hit rock bottom but stay there a while before they realize the need to change and some will never change but still offer love everyday. Love can overcome all things
There are those in the world who came from horrible circumstances and seem to be going only down hill but you would be amazed at how much good a little patience and love can do to help those in need.
@@watchme2day So true. My son will not talk to me. It has been about 9 months.
God bless all who are saddened and need the strength of JESUS!! I lost my beloved husband on March
5th, 2020..........just before the world collapsed! Mine collapsed but God took me under His wings of
love! May you all who have lost, let God hold you in his loving arms! In Jesus Name.....AMEN
The message in this song is so powerful and beautiful!! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this beautiful song! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am 74 years old and my past was terrible but God said I have more for uou to do. I am thankful that God keeps me going. It's hard but I'm fighting.
The memory of the dark helps us appreciate the light even more! Praise God! 🕊💎🦋
This song and the love on this father and sons face touches my soul! I cry every single time I listen to this beautiful song!
The Prodigal Son is a true example of pure Love!
One day I will share my own story!
Thank you Gentry! Love you guys..your music helps so many ways!
# The charm of the recording sound source and the video image, # Trio, # The performance speed of the music is the highest. The trio, which was in charge of the singing parts of the three attractive voices of #realism and deep bass, #camera split cut split, and multi-track recording, was impressed with the beautiful intonation of vibrato and harmony. Also, I was impressed by the composition of the original flash cut video and the transition of video editing. Hot things come up. ❤️ In addition, monochrome images and sepia colors in the images go to the world of old memories, Cool is a futuristic image, 🙌👍❤️ Thank you. 😊
OMG!! How beautiful!!
Beautiful … the unconditional love of a father for his son.
the video makes me think of the prodigal son. And yes, I cry when I listen to this. Beautiful!
Or a second thought….we are the son and God is the Father who will welcome us back with open arms and love us unconditionally.
This video just opened the floodgates of tears and regret my son was taken from me at age 31 I let go and lost him. I wish I could of gone back-in time
My son passed away at 30. I also wish that I could go back in time. I love and miss him so much.
Every day is a new beginning, dear. Turn it over to the Lord and allow Him to take over the situation.

Always we come home for the right reason. The song and the video retells the Prodigal Son story. Thank you Gentri!
SOME TIMES A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS CAN CHANGE A RELATIONSHIP FOR A LIFETIME......WORDS CAN'T BE TAKEN BACK ONLY FORGIVEN BUT YOU WLL ALWAYS REMEMBER THEM.....CHOOSE YOUR WORDS WISELY ....LOVE, BOB S. FOX, PALM SPRINGS, CA. USA
As a father of 4 beautiful successful loving adult sons whom I love more than myself and who love me back, this about broke my heart! What a wonderful ending. If it does not bring a tear to your eyes then wow. Beautiful song!
Thank you so much for the song! It made me cry really hard .
It shows the earthly father‘s love, and the heavenly father‘s love for us. He will never let us go even when we’re in the darkness and we can’t see the light. He is still there, waiting and reaching for us to pick us up and carry us through
To His Loving arms.
The awesome thing is when we do not feel worthy to talk to Heavenly Father that’s when he wants us to turn to him most. Heavenly Father loves us even when we cast him out.
The part that gets me is the part where the dad welcomes his son back home open arms most fathers are good and they’ll always love you and welcome you with open arms
this video brought my family to tears. especially my wife. it’s heavenly.
Touching my soul...how I wish my parents had never let go of me when I changed religions. They're gone now, were forgiven long ago. Thank you for such a beautiful reminder of Christ's love for us.
I every everytime I listen to this. I am so thankful for this song. God Bless.
The older guy in the video is my great-uncle, as it turns out. Great actor.
On a side-note, this video always chokes me up. 😭😭😭
Zo mooi, 😘
Such a powerful song. To those who have been kicked out or lived on the streets know that God has and will always love you. For those who grew-up with a Father or Mother know that life will get better. We are all here for a reason and though we don't know the specifics we do know that God loves us and sent us here for a short time to learn to be more like him. The most important thing you can do in your life is to share love with those around you. We are all imperfect and make mistakes but there is one who loves us despite our failings.
For those who have left home on your own sometimes you have legitimate reasons and sometimes the reasons are purely selfish and immature but I can tell you that in most cases your parents do love you more than you know. Just remember they are imperfect as well and will continue to make mistakes but they still love you.
I've heard the story of the prodigal son so many times but now I'm a mom to a 1 year old boy and watching this movie tonight it just struck my heart in such a way and brought tears to my eyes. When my baby grows up, no matter what choices he makes in life or even if he pushes me away I'll never stop loving him unconditionally. I will always run to him and accept him with open arms because it would break my heart to see him struggling alone. Now that I'm a mom i think I'll always have that instinct to comfort my baby when he needs help no matter how old he gets.
All your child wants is love and acceptance...do not wait to long.
Astounding so beautiful beyond words
Lockdown 2020 I'm here in Melbourne Australia. It was like you were singing to me. your singing with videos are so powerfully moving. Here I am sobbing like a baby thinking where did these Awsome singers come from ? Thank you for putting a smile during this difficult time. I think Jesus and my Angel brought me here , they have a habit of bringing me to help xx
