how amazing that John James went through depression, alcoholism, and addiction.... left Newsboys, and is now a preacher in Australia. God turned his life around. I really believe there are reasons things happen early in life, amd we can use our experiences to show the forgiveness of a Loving Savior, Jesus, who died for ALL. Equally placing our sins as far as from the east to the west, and giving us hope for eternal love, peace and the perfect presence of Him, for ever!
I worked with John for years when he left Peter and the band, and moved back to Australia. Never a dull moment working with him, quite a funny guy.. great times, and loved hearing the stories from the band days.
Saw them in the 90's in El Salvador, one of my favorites bands ever, I just still hearing Newsboys always, I am 46 years old and thanks to God for them. Because they still Rocking for the Lord.
World-class Christian music. This band was tight, relevant, well written, great lyrics and so much fun in concert. We learned of them through the Down Under the Big Top video. Watched it several times last week and was reminded of the geniuses them all. Thanks guys for allowing me the opportunity to raise my kids on some good music.
Love this Christian song, we’re not ashamed, we’re proud and shout to the world about our Lord Jesus Christ. All Glory and Honor and Praise is yours alone. Thank you Lord!
What lyrics to break my heart of stone!!! No way!! Just remember this Master Piece today and crying bcoz Jesus loves me always! I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ. Thanks Peter.
First heard this song when skating at Lloyd's Roller Rink during the Christian Music Skates in the early 90s and got to like it almost right away. Still sounds good over 25 years later . A good message as well..
❤❤❤One of the most amazing songs ever!!! We need to stand up for our PERFCECT SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST our LORD!!!❤❤❤ HE is our PRECIOUS AWESOME GOD & KING!!!I❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ my HEAVENLY FATHER!!!❤❤❤😊😊😊
This blew me away when I first heard it in the early 1990s. No ther Christian music sounded like this at the time. It was cool, and catchy and unapologetic. I still think it's great.
Much much love for these guys!! Unfortunately i never got to meet them when they hung around here in the early 90s. Saw em twice!! Wonderful fun worship!! The folks from the land of Howard Finster say's "Hey!"
I also went and bought all their older albums a few years ago, going back to the very beginning and it was very interesting to see how they changed over time.
They really started out sounding like a new wave type band and gradually grew into their classic sound through the early to mid 90s. The mid-90s was peak newsboys untl the late 2000s
1 of the greatest Christian anthem songs , by 1 of the greatest Christian groups of all time. Petra , DC Talk, Stryper, Newsboys, Thank you Jesus for your music from these trailblazing artists for your glory.
@@CryptoFanzPEZ Jews,Christians as well as Muslims don't be ashamed to show the light in you don't listen to nonbelievers or cult followers press on in name of Jesus amen
@@valentincavazzos4420 jews deny Jesus, Muslims deny Jesus as GOD. A Christian is someone who follows Jesus Christ. This universal religion thing is of the devil to make Christians think they don't have to witness to other religious groups.
First heard this song as a chaperon for our church group when we went to Centrifuge back in the 90's. This song has been in my head ever since. The group has evolved and still making beautiful Christian music. Many young adults have been brought to the Lord using the words in songs. Get them saved with whatever it takes because one day it will be too late. I am 65 years young and this type music still stirs my soul.
I want to thank you Lord Jesus for this tremendous group of servants that you have established on Earth to represent and lift up your holy precious eternal everlasting name you are and have been and always be our Lord and savior the news boys have been such a blessing in my Christian walk that I have learned to listen to their music through the years and it has always been a blessing I want you lord to bless all the generations from the beginning to the present of the newsboys organization bless their houses bless their health bless their finances bless their ministries keep them safe on the road and blessed your lives with your constant protection presence and love thank you newsboys for all those wonderful years and I continue on listening to the greatest band ever created on planet Earth all glory be to God
These r the true News boys that I like & we like b cuz they sang to the Lord d Jesus for hope to the world. We miss john that sang "Turn ur eyed on Jesus" we miss him very much. We hope he is still serving Jesus Christ ti this day ❣️ if not we r orsying for him b cuz the song he sang really touched us to this day we listen to it all the time it never gets old my grandkids will slso listen to it to draw closer to Jesus dear little brother 💕where ever u r we r praying for u 😔🙏 we eill c u somefay n heaven❣️💫📖💫🙏💫✨💫👍👍👍👍✨👍👍👍👍
still... why do I think Christian Music was the best at this time. it was so musically diverse and more unique in my opinion. One of my favourite songs since a child.
Thanks for posting. I never knew a concept video for this song existed. The version I saw was just a bunch of live festival clips of them performing the song.
0:17/3:48 Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes Even if it was for just one day? Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away? I do miss Nik Kershaw.
This was the first Newsboys album I purchased and saw them open for Petra! Great project! Nicole C. Mullen did the BGVs. I believe it was Donna McAfee on the recording.
As an ANTI-XTIAN myself [***NOT 4 FAITHFUL REAZNS*** I'm not necessarily a faithful Muslim, PLZ], I'v ALWAYS LUVD this song since I 1st encounterd it when releasd a Generation ago now!!!!! I'm playing it many tymz now as I CMMNT!!!!! Mag(nificent), superlative!!!!!..........✝️✝️✝️⭐⭐⭐
That's not Peter it's John James he's a motivational speaker now had lots of problems with addiction and left the group back in the 90s he's all good now rededicated his life
To let the light shine forth is to make Jesus known to all, as Jesus is being made known to all the light of God becomes more brilliant and darkness grows tiny to a speck.
I think this was Filmed in my hometown of Virginia Beach ,I remember some Friends telling and we went and watched,Looks like our Famous pink hotel in the Background
You have no idea how full of the Holy Spirit Christians of the 90's truly were. Especially the early 90's. Well, they definitely thought they were at least
I do not repent for this would unacceptably dishonor the great Christian work and evangelization originally associated with Saint Paul of Ephesus, who was Christ's spiritual trumpet and prophet, but whose conception can be found before Paul in the gnostic Gospel of the truest apostle Mary Magdalene, leader of the most faithful women of the sacred tomb. This is an authenticated early Christian text found in more than one consistent copy; to the best of my recollection. It's definitely authentic and early Christian and reflects a great philosophical and spiritual lecture with questions and answers with Lord Christ; and critically a vision given from Lord Christ to the Apostle Mary Magdalene. Yet as in my struggle with the money-obsessed taxi-man who was paid with both money, insults, and contempt, I have always been and described myself as a humble 'servant of Lord Yahweh and the Kingdom of Heaven.' As Lord Christ Nazareth born in wild divinity beside the animals, dejected of men even then, is Alpha Omega and one with God Yahweh himself, it troubles me nothing but seems pious to declare myself a servant and slave of Christ of Bethlehem and Nazareth. This will only be understood to be low or shameful by those who do not understand the Kingdom of Heaven, where 'the Last shall be First, and the Last shall be First.' 'He who would be first among us must make himself a slave of everyone.(within the circle of noble spirited devotees of the Kingdom of Heaven.) So proud and 'not ashamed' am I to declare my slavery to Jesus Christ!
@@ThisisGold1 it would be just amazing to catch the all original line up again. I mean I love DC Talk but take me to your leader was what got me into that whole scene
@@ThisisGold1 absolutely the same, the energy from that album was just unbelievable. I saw them live at Acquire The Fire and when they were singing Breakfast they threw a box of captain crunch at me. It was such a magical experience we were all passing the captain crunch around and just had a blast.

Did he ever do any other music?
One of the greatest Christian rock bands ever! Many timeless hits have come from the Newsboys!❤🙏✝
Even if you're not a Christian, it's still dope lol
Absolutely! He Reigns, Shine...unbelievable music!
This album got me forever hooked on Newsboys
Saw them in the 90's in El Salvador, one of my favorites bands ever, I just still hearing Newsboys always, I am 46 years old and thanks to God for them. Because they still Rocking for the Lord.
Awesome!
My favorite Christian song

Nik Kershaw tune “wouldn’t it be good”
YES. I miss this era so much! N o s t a l g i a
classic Christian rock! God I love this!
I totally agree!!! They give us beautiful blessings through their Christian hearts❤ and their amazing music .
I remember this heartfelt and spiritually uplifting song from my youth: but find it just as relevant and affirming today
AMEN. And for me, as a former boxer, I always want to "turn up the jam" and start Shadow Boxing like Rocky.
GREAT RHYTHM/BEAT
Undoubtedly. I couldn't agree more. No, really.
Love this Christian song, we’re not ashamed, we’re proud and shout to the world about our Lord Jesus Christ. All Glory and Honor and Praise is yours alone. Thank you Lord!
What lyrics to break my heart of stone!!! No way!! Just remember this Master Piece today and crying bcoz Jesus loves me always! I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ. Thanks Peter.
Amen and you.

sarah mine too
The little unknown Christian band! Still lives on. Thanks for a job well done.
This blew me away when I first heard it in the early 1990s. No ther Christian music sounded like this at the time. It was cool, and catchy and unapologetic. I still think it's great.
Listened to this as a kid. Good times
When Peter was the drummer....love it
Remember hearing this song on the way to church as a kid.
I think that the woman who sang the background vocals deserves so much more credit than she gets.
Much much love for these guys!! Unfortunately i never got to meet them when they hung around here in the early 90s.
Saw em twice!! Wonderful fun worship!!
The folks from the land of Howard Finster say's "Hey!"
This song was waaaay ahead of it's time back then Gospel Rock wasn't heard of...#classic
Petra was…
I've been checking out their older albums and I got to say, this album is when their "Newsboys sound" really began to develop.
I also went and bought all their older albums a few years ago, going back to the very beginning and it was very interesting to see how they changed over time.
They really started out sounding like a new wave type band and gradually grew into their classic sound through the early to mid 90s. The mid-90s was peak newsboys untl the late 2000s
One of my very favorite Newsboys songs! So uplifting and joyful....and that key change is everything! :)
1 of the greatest Christian anthem songs , by 1 of the greatest Christian groups of all time. Petra , DC Talk, Stryper, Newsboys, Thank you Jesus for your music from these trailblazing artists for your glory.
2020 and still not ashamed...now more than ever we need the people of God to stand up for Jesus!
Love this so much!!!!! It never gets old :)
2024 still the top 5 best Christian groups ever formed💙✝
My favorite Christian music band
So thankful to see this video with my dear friend & brother Kevin Mills playing bass. RIP brother! Think of you often.
Diana Kynard I had to look him up. History for some of us, personal history for others. I hope to meet him someday.
Was Mills the one singing the higher notes starting around 2:29 as well?
The year I became a Christian.
Yeah?
It's a good song.
Here is a song I just found and I love it:

The cool thing is to have a montage of celebrities giving God the glory to this song
Oh heck yes. I'm Not Ashamed! Far from the first Newsboys song, but the first song of theirs to make such a big impact.
I loved the song the first time I heard it, i felt so happy I found this beautiful song
As a definite, no-longer-Christian, this song is still fire! 🔥
Hope you find your way back, Kelly S.
No such thing as a "no-longer-Christan." You never were one to begin with.
@@voicevitality7197 it's not your place to make that judgement
@@jackyll690 oh bite me. You have to agree that the word Christian is thrown around so flippantly, we've lost grasp of what it truly means.

I still have their original album. Hell is for wimps. I also did a cover of this song on stage. Wow, so many memories.
Read All About It came first..
The best
One of the best songs
He's Coming Back was their debut album which was a demo.
still... why do I think Christian Music was the best at this time. it was so musically diverse and more unique in my opinion. One of my favourite songs since a child.
Uma das melhores bandas de gospel que eu conheço! Que Deis os abençoe!!
Thanks for posting. I never knew a concept video for this song existed. The version I saw was just a bunch of live festival clips of them performing the song.
We like the first group & we missed them much🌹
John James looking like the lost member of Right Said Fred
A lot of Christians keep quiet about their faith in Jesus Christ.
He is our savior and our best friend.
I can not wait for Paradise.
Wow, this really takes me back.
I love Peter Furler
So wonderful ..💜💜💜💜💜💜💜..
i like and love all of the New boys music i have some of there music 🎶 i just Love there msic Also there song's they are so very awesome.
Never gets old, Sunshine Coast represent
Hunter S Thompson wrote an absolute slapper of a track
one of my all time favourite
0:17/3:48 Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
Even if it was for just one day?
Wouldn't it be good if we could wish ourselves away?
I do miss Nik Kershaw.
Thought the same thing! Heard Nik's song just now and had to check it out . . . I was like, "This sounds just like the Newsboys!!"
Nope. Not really.
same key, and chords too
what a great song 💜
Merry Christmas 1984
Wonder how they avoided litigation by Nik Kershaw. The melody is identical to "Wouldn't it be good".
The original Newsboys...back when they where good...
Watching this awesome video on 2021 morning breakfast💓
This was the first Newsboys album I purchased and saw them open for Petra! Great project! Nicole C. Mullen did the BGVs. I believe it was Donna McAfee on the recording.
I want to know who sang the 2.30 in the background vocal with the high pitch . It was so good on this song.
This is so 90s lol
Newsboys are the bomb!!!!!!
If you want to minister to someone just tell them Tina Turner sings a Cameo here! 😇💫☁️🔥
I remember this song back in the early 2000ns.
*Love it*
Thais is a beautiful song...blesss
Ohhh the feels..

Minha infância 😢😊
They're all dancing about a lot faster than the music calls for. The must have been really going hard on that 90's style holy ghost that day.
Myles Darling lol
You have no idea how full of the Holy Spirit Christians of the 90's truly were. Especially the early 90's. Well, they definitely thought they were at least
Myles Darling ......... So hard!
Love this song with John James! Glad he was Blessed to overcome his addictions! And he had his wife continues to spread the name of Jesus Christ!
Jody Davis ❤
I SEEN THE NEWSBOYS 93 TOUR IN LAS VEGAS.N.V BEEN A FAN EVER SINCE. WERE THEY FILMED THIS.
Dennis Wessels i saw them in Vegas in '93 also for the "shine" tour. You said they filmed this im Vegas? Where at?
I’m guessing the filmed this in Australia since they formed there?
I'm not ashamed of Jesus. I'm embarrassed for him.
Why?
John James got a haircut

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ.

I'm saying, "no way. No way."
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
This one warns it's lost cause - save your testimonies for church time
The other ones state you'd better wait until you do a little market research
I'm saying, "no way. No way."
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ
