How have I been a fan for 25 yrs, got saved at a Carman concert, own this album, but never saw this video before? This is one of my favorites, my mother's favorites (in Heaven now) and now my daughter loves this music. 3 generations of appreciation, Brother! Thank you.
It's part of the R.I.O.T. movie, which is full of music videos from the album, like this one. You should watch it! It's in two parts, both of which are on RUclips. Be blessed :)
KingScorpion73 thanks for your comment. I am in a dark time at the moment for other reasons. But i take inspiration from your comment. Will listen to some Carman tomorrow. (From West Australia).
@@tammydavis-howard220 LOL, we had tickets to see him the year before as we were big fans, but then I had the accident. So while I was in the hospital, we gave our tickets to some friends who didn't get theirs in time. I do lip-sync on my channel, and I'm wanting to do this song really badly!
In the early years of his ministry, every concert was a step of faith. They would pay for these stadiums, charge no admission with general seating and trust God to fill the house, Lead people to Christ and provide for the needs to continue the ministry.... They would step out on nothing and find something there! Praise be to God! Carmen was far from perfect like all of us but he practiced what he preached.
Can't say I'm a great fan of music as music is of emotion and moves emotion. I'm much more moved by logic. I will readily admit however that Carman's music has soothed the savage beast in me on many occasions and I am surely thankful to have a brother in Christ like Carman, who does all he can to put some logic into his lyrics. Hidden in one of Carman's early songs was the lyrics, "Send the Rain LORD" and then Carman whispered, "Send Understanding". Praise God for the day Carman said that because that prompted me on a search that led to glorious revelations from God's Word (the Bible) and I credit that gentle whisper as the very voice of God calling me through His servant. God bless ya Brother.
Let me say this; I'd bet that if you're one of the people who's name isn't erased from the book, and you get to walk through those Giant Pearl Gates, you'll get VERY emotional, and you won't care.
I discovered Carman in the 1980's though a friend who was a fan of him and she turned me on to Carman and I'm glad that she did. I sew him once in concert at Cross Roads Church in Yuba City, California. It was great! RIP Carmen.
I just absolutely love Carman's music! Been a fan since college. We acted out virtually every song. This is ministry at its best! God bless you, Carman!
This song has got it all! Amazing songwriting, tight performance, awesome mixing, Gretsch guitar. And Carman! Been listening to his music since early 90s. Still think each and every song is a masterpiece in its own right.
Seriously, I just found out last Saturday that he passed in 2021. I'm so ashamed and sick of my self. I have no word, just to be a better being. 7 ways 2 praise the lord. RIP Carman😢😢😢🌞🙏
I love the lyrics of this song! "Taking a giant leap in the aaaaaair, stepping out on nothing and finding something there!" That's faith! My favorite hymn is Great is Thy Faithfulness. I often sing it as it reminds me that God asks me to trust Him and He always provides what is needed in my life! So many times I've stepped out on air always to find something there. This song is a great reminder too! With a catchy rythm! Carmen's music reached out to all genres. I love his deepor low his voice goes in this one! My children were raised in 80's & l90's. We watched Carmen on VHS tapes that friends passed our way. His message is so relevant today!
Whenever I hear the lines about "stepping out on nothing and finding something there" i think of the scene in the Indiana Jones movie where he's being chased by the bad guys. He comes to a deep wide chasm and must somehow cross or be killed. He tentatively puts a foot out over the chasm and suddenly a board appears under his foot. He steps onto it, puts the other foot out and a board appears under it. He suddenly takes off running across the chasm and the faster he runs the faster the boards appear under his feet until he is safely across. Such a vivid picture of what Carman is saying here about faith.
I miss Carman so much! Miss the fun evenings in his chatroom,the concerts and gettingto see him. No more trios across the country to Carman concerts.miss him so much! I know April is still talking Carman's ears off in heaven. Soon we will all be together praising our Lord and Savior Jesus!
@@kentlewis987 The movie is good, but get the book if you can find it and read it also. I think he wrote the book too. I admit I liked it better than the movie.
@@kentlewis987 It is close, but they did make some changes from the book. He was a boxer in it, but the ending was sad. But it was the story that inspired the movie and is still available from different places. It's worth the read and see the differences.
Can anybody tell me who that fellow is playing the guitar with Carman in this video? He looks familiar. Very happy upbeat encouraging video and song , by the way, even many years later. Loving this in September, 2021.
Forgot about this..this was done around the 3rd wave of Country music late 80's early 90's..love this video back them...where is the rest of this video?
I think I've watched every Carman video now - it's like watching Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood, M C Hammer, Julio Iglesias, George Clooney and James Bond all rolled up into one - except it's the Christian version - thank you so much Carmen & Praise the Lord for awesome worship music :)
I was at my concert of yours over 30 yrs. ago. Lol. My own child just turning 20. Married 21 years. You still make me want to sing and shout! I will never forget the concerts....ever!
Outrageous Amen, will always be blessed with his SPIRIT FULLED ,warfare songs,it says song with lyrics ,i would really like to have the lyrics for praise & worship at church
WE HERE FROM YOUNGEST TO THE ELDERLY THE WE ALL LOVE THS AWESOME SINGING,PRAISE THE LORD.R LORD WANTS TO ENJOY HIM& EVEN SEE US DANCING IN JOY OF HIS PRESENCE BE FORE HIS THRONE,TRUST HIM IT IS A JOY TO R HEAENlY FATHER 4 SURE.♥️💒😁

Praying is a waste of time. I pray that women will stop rejecting me and show me some kindness. Doesn't matter how nice I am,I get treated like a virus and get called a loser,ugly,faggot,among other insults. I have been forced by my neighbors and by women to hate myself.
@@Donscottmusic Just stay away from the people who call you that. You'll find someone eventually, bro, you just gotta be patient. Sometimes God answers prayers immediately, sometimes it takes time. It's all part of God's plan. Maybe that's why he doesn't answer it, because you're too impatient to realize that he DOES answer it.
I miss him. I'll see you in heaven brother.

@@DavidJ1943 well he did live longer than expected with his cancer. Still hard though.
@@FlameMoose37 Yeah.
Carman ain't dead, he just went home, y'all‼️
he is sleeping not home yet
@@meteors4192 To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord! ☺️ 2nd Corinthians 5:8

Trust in the Lord. He never fails. He over came death and is All powerful mighty to save and my best friend.
Your enemies don't stand a chance. 🙃
R.I.O.T. was released after I had been badly burned, and wasn't supposed to survive. This album really helped me out of a lot of dark times.
great to hear!
KingScorpion73 thanks for your comment. I am in a dark time at the moment for other reasons. But i take inspiration from your comment. Will listen to some Carman tomorrow. (From West Australia).
Praise be to God for HE had better plans for you thant the WORLD.
So sorry to hear how you came to hear him but I am glad you did. God Bless you Brother.

I'm glad Carman was able to smooth that for you! I saw him first at 16 and I'm now 42 with a 17 year old. I still support his campaigns music.
Let me say this; I'd bet that if you're one of the people who's name isn't erased from the book, and you get to walk through those Giant Pearl Gates, you'll get VERY emotional, and you won't care.
AMEN PRAISE GOD ALL GLORY TO HIM.. CARMEN DEFINITELY HAD GODS ANOINTING 💙🙏🏽🕊 NO MATTER WHAT EVERYONE SUBMIT TO GOD GIVE HIM PRAISE💙🙏🏽🕊
@@IchooseYAH Amen! Carman was God-inspired and lived a God-honoring life

I love that Ricky Skaggs is here with Carman. Brothers in Jesus.
Aw...
Rejoice at the foot of The Throne brother, you've fought the good fight and finished your race!
Amen
🙃😏
This is a great video! Carman will be missed. RIP Carman 1956-2021
Play this over and over to help me feel better in life
Christian or not, you can’t deny the catchiness of this song
Honestly this is the only way i listen to country music. Lols 😁🤣
This song helped me in the past before 2020 when I was going through another dark time. I love the beat of the song.
I'm 38 years old and I know surely Jesus is coming sooner than later.
My all time favorite song by Carman. Anytime I'm scared about a new opportunity or situation this song plays in my head. Thank you. RIP Carman.
Cool 😏🙃

Carman is gonna be missed by everyone that the Lord used to touch people

I have no word, just to be a better being.
7 ways 2 praise the lord.
RIP Carman😢😢😢🌞🙏
Aw, may the Lord increase your blessings and wisdom. Shalom peace.
We are the family of God. 😘
Keep going for the Lord. The Rapture is His promise to us who have faith and believe on His name.
IMO Carman was a mixture of Elvis, James Brown, Billy Graham, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ray Stevens, David Bowie. He was a true alchemist.
R.I.H. Carman. Miss you! ❤💕💖

Ricky Skagg did not have a credit for this song at the end of the movie. I wonder why? Also... Carman does Country Western very well! ❤️
I thought that was Bob Carliles
And rap.
Carman could basically do it all...rock, r&b, hip hop, country, adult contemporary, hymns, theater, etc. Whatever it took to spread the word.
Check out his Red, White, and Blue concert for a spot on & hilarious Willie Nelson impression.
No other Singer I know has ever has this wide range of styles and talent! Love you Carman..see you @ Home one day :)
Carman was a great man
I miss Carman so much! Miss the fun evenings in his chatroom,the concerts and gettingto see him.
No more trios across the country to Carman concerts.miss him so much! I know April is still talking Carman's ears off in heaven. Soon we will all be together praising our Lord and Savior Jesus!
We’re Coming To You From New York And Boston. Everyone Else Care To Explain About 2024? 😊❤️
Yeah… Of Course I Do. 😁❤️
The movie RIOT was good too... I still enjoyed his music and have been blessed to have seen him perform 3 times.
Have you seen his movie, The Champion (not to be confused with his song of the same name)? It’s excellent and Amazon has it for $4.99.
@@kentlewis987 The movie is good, but get the book if you can find it and read it also. I think he wrote the book too. I admit I liked it better than the movie.

Carman's music is STILL GREAT to sing and dance with especially when I'm doing the dishes! 😀
REST IN PEACE BROTHER CARMAN 💕🌹
Carmen was ahead of his time.
Love Carman's singing, and he sounds great with Ricky Skaggs
