My dad passed away and all I can think of now is how I’m getting married in 8 months and he won’t be here to walk me down the isle, give me away, dance with me, or just see me. That line “It ain’t always gonna be easy, it ain’t always gonna be fair, I know you ain’t always gonna need me, but I promise that I’ll always be there.” Has be balling. It hits me hard everytime. Esp being a mom with 3 littles. Absolutely love these two!! My wedding song is “from the ground up” and I’ll be walking down with my brothers next to me to “speechless” it wasn’t even a choice when it came to picking a “song” I instantly knew.❤️❤️

I agree. He has amazing vocal control. Unless you are a singer (I am), people don't amazing the subtle little things he does with his voice that take incredible control. He has full mastery of his voice.
The first time I heard this song, the water from my eyes kept pouring. I could not stop it. It's a different kind of crying, because my eyes aren't hurt, the water just are like water falls, just keeps falling...I don't even know why. But thank God you've written such a beautiful song.
Amazing song! I pray this song is put on the radio & starts a revival in our nation. Also i just learned if you slide your finger up on the video, it zooms in lol
We're expecting a precious little boy in October. Our first one. My wife's parents first grand baby. I have prayed and been so anxious for this day! Too bad my real dad isn't here for this. My son is taking part of his name though!!!
I was driving late at night, alone, on the freeway, when this song started. I listened to it over and over again with tears streaming down my face. It evoked some remarkable feelings about my four kids, and now my two grandsons. I pray for them every day and I know God is there for them. What a great song! ❤️
I’ve always loved this song ever since The Shack came out. I remember listening to it over and over as I was going through my divorce. The shack was the first movie I took myself to see alone and remember balling my eyes out and thinking to myself that forgiveness for everything was key and everything would be okay as long as I continued to pray and constantly forgive others. Amazing song and love the raw edition and new video. Thanks for singing it.
Imagine Dan and Shay singing a song with For King & Country...just a thought...a good one at that. Come on guys, let's make it happen! We won't be disappointed!
I’ve always wanted to be the dad like my dad was cause from birth he taught me to pray for strength. Please God give me the strength to be a great father
I just love that song it's a big hit for me I just love songs when people are singing about God I believe in God all the way in Jesus holy Father anything like that I just love that kind of music too. To Dan and Shay I love you so much. Sincerely Sheila K. Downs. Love you love you so so very much.
I had a stillborn in December of 2018, & am currently 27 weeks pregnant with our miracle baby. I sing this song to him everyday. Thank you for talking about God with no shame & blessing us all with your perfect harmony! My dad & I are huge fans & will see you in PA in September of 2021! 🥰♥️
God is speaking to me through them. I’m gonna pray for my future child. Maybe I’ll never have one but one can dream. God, thank you for these two men. Their lyrics speak from your heart.
This is a beautiful song. I had never heard your music until I was watching an awards show and Tori Kelly was performing your song with u Speechless. That is a beautiful song as well. You guys have amazing voices.
This is a amazing song!! ❤❤ As we are listening my son says "Mama you pray for me and you've taught me" this boy is a gift from God he has saved my life more then once.
I talked to god about you. This song brings tears bc its a real, pure representation of love and a godly one. You two are outstanding artists. May you and your family's have the healthiest, happiest fullest life! Thanks for blessing our ears with your greatness! To you,that special someone i know I've spoken to God about you. May you see it too
I love the harmonies in this song! They compliment the melody so well and just send chills down my spine. Not to mention that the lyrics are incredible. I can't believe that I am only just hearing this song!
Wow...amazing song by ❤️” Dan+Shay “ you touch everyone’s heart with every song you guys have sang, but this one nailed for every single parent out there struggling right now don’t ever give up things will get better rely on God and all your troubles will be resolved...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️💙
These guys are absolutely amazing. Their blend is so perfect. And they are so vocally ingenious with the way the they blend their 2 abilities together. Harmonies always great and the riffs are to die for
I love the meaning behind this song! Every new Dad anticipating a new baby to be, can honestly say these words behind this song! I love how it references God as having a part in this prayer for a new son! Just lovely!
It was this song that brought me to your incredible music, searching for "The Shack" a couple of years ago this song had come up. Since then Dan + Shay has become my favorite. Love their music, it's so deep! ❤
I love the fact they talk about God in their songs without shame. I also love how they sing about children. Keep it up guys!!!!!
Thats just country music for ya :P
If you want God in music go to church.
I pray they know the God they sing about.
A lot of country singers do that
Amen!
I swear, if there isn’t at least 3 Dan and shay songs at my wedding someday, I’m not going.
+++qq+++qq+++q+q+++q+++qq+q+1

My husband and I had our first dance to from the ground up :)
@@janawaldroff481 that’s one of the songs that I hope to have in mine someday 😊
LMAOO
I got tired scrolling down looking for the lyrics, so putting it here for us all instead😅
I talk to God about you
And I ain't even met you yet
Everybody's waitin' on you here
I can't wait to feel your heart beat
When I lay you on my chest
I'm already holding back my tears
I wanna be the dad that my dad was
I hope that I don't mess this whole thing up
I pray you love like your momma
And you forgive just like she does
'Cause when this life knocks you down
I hope you get down on your knees
'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
When I pray for you
Oh, when I pray for you
I know you're gonna grow up some day
But don't forget to take your time
And take the time to call back home
It ain't always gonna be easy
It ain't always gonna be fair
I know you ain't always gonna need me
But I promise that I'll always be there
I pray you love like your momma
And you forgive just like she does
'Cause when this life knocks you down
I hope you get down on your knees
'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
When I pray for you
Oh, when I pray for you
I talk to God about you
When everything around me breaks
I look up and hear him say
Love like your momma
And forgive just like she does
And when this life knocks you down
I hope you get down on your knees
'Cause that's what I do, that's what I do
When I pray for you
When I pray for you
When I pray for you
Thank you so much
Just beautiful lyrics...

Shay's vocal control has improved to the point that he sounds better live than the record. These guys just get better and better.
I agree. He has amazing vocal control. Unless you are a singer (I am), people don't amazing the subtle little things he does with his voice that take incredible control. He has full mastery of his voice.
I really like this song, because it's so touching 😭😭
thanks Dave!
siap bang jago
hai wekel syg
It was the first song i heard of them, then starting from the very moment i became a fan of them. Really talented.💝
@@jerylduno3562 go watch I should probably go to bed
Easily one of the best voices I have ever heard
He doesn’t need the studio to sound amazing
Amen best voice twice Conway.
He is good but yes he does haha
The first time I heard this song, the water from my eyes kept pouring. I could not stop it. It's a different kind of crying, because my eyes aren't hurt, the water just are like water falls, just keeps falling...I don't even know why. But thank God you've written such a beautiful song.
This is how music should be done every time..no big dumb video.. real voice, real instruments👍👍🙏
we had big dumb videos and they went with real music.
There’s a big dumb video for this song tho lol
Shay’s voice is unbelievable and phenomenal 💖💞
Amazing song! I pray this song is put on the radio & starts a revival in our nation. Also i just learned if you slide your finger up on the video, it zooms in lol
Shay has amazing range...I can appreciate his talent as a vocalist...incredible
This song hits in a different way, being a mother of a special needs child!! It brings tears to my eyes, and goosebumps all over my body!!
These kids are so blessed and amazing!
Their vocals are OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!
OMG I love it. My daughter is pregnant with my first grandbaby and I can't wait to hold it's precious little hand.
Congrats!!
We're expecting a precious little boy in October. Our first one. My wife's parents first grand baby. I have prayed and been so anxious for this day! Too bad my real dad isn't here for this. My son is taking part of his name though!!!
One of the most unique voices in today's music industry.
The embodiment of God's love through a parent.
The acoustic version of this just hits home. Both versions are incredible but this one is even more special!!
I was driving late at night, alone, on the freeway, when this song started. I listened to it over and over again with tears streaming down my face. It evoked some remarkable feelings about my four kids, and now my two grandsons. I pray for them every day and I know God is there for them. What a great song! ❤️
Waking up at 4:30am is hard but when this has dropped...makes life a little easier!
My drive to work is sorted 💁🏼♂️
Thanks for the Prayers.......
Beautiful...I pray we forgive and love as our Father forgives and loves us!
Gods peace be with you!
A lot of people focus on Shay’s voice which is incredible but in this song all I can hear is Dan’s amazing backing vocals. Giving me all the feels.
I’ve always loved this song ever since The Shack came out. I remember listening to it over and over as I was going through my divorce.
