I can honestly say that through bands like Stryper that I have dealt with many symptoms of depression, PTSD (two time war vet), I know where the true strength lies- both in me and the help from OUR Lord- Jesus Christ!!
Great song with great vocal. My older sister got me into heavy metal of the 80's, all kinds of it. She still listens to it. I came here today to reminisce about the great 80's. I miss it so much. Long live the 80's.
80's music has so much more soul than today's music. I just wrote and recorded an 80's inspired rock ballad with a very personal meaning. ruclips.net/video/ZwjBSc98XjY/видео.html Tried to work all my emotions into it. If you like, check it out. It's not professionally produced but it was a lot of work cause I did everything myself. Not doing it for likes, I just wanna share my feelings and I'm always happy about a short feedback.
This is such a beautiful song by Stryper. It's a great song to listen to, especially when things aren't going well, and you need a friend. Sometimes I feel depressed and alone. I know I have wonderful friends on RUclips. So that keeps me going. And I have a wonderful wife and 5 year old grandaughter.
from all the years of hurt and pain in my life from a loss of a brother to my parents getting divorced my life has been a total change to all the pain as i see the life in the lord by hearing the words of god that makes me feel proud of be alive to keep me going on. thank you Jesus for keeping moving on with my life.
This song has had a very special meaning for me and my sister for 25 years. She was suffering from severe depression and had thought about taking her own life. One day, while I was at school, she put this song in the tape player. It saved her life! Now 25 years later, she is a happy, healthy Woman of Faith. Miracles do happen. We are both living proof!
Listening to this, thinking of my precious mommy right now. Lost her on jan. 23rd. Crying, but I realize she's happy and out of pain now. She was only 43 :(
Sorry for your loss of your mom, nobody wants to lose their mom, it's too painful, but may God rest her soul and may God bless you and put peace in your heart.
Tonya Berry ,, trip out.. yes, in 1990, I was married and "Together As One" was our main wedding song played..This one works great as well, and is still on my wedding tape, which I had made the day of the wedding at a mall..
I sang this @ our wedding in 1988 in a Lutheran church before I walked down the aisle. I don't think people had a clue that it was a Christian metal band. We loved this group!!!
Since God is love... a song about love (his true love) it beautiful...I belive there will be music and singing in heaven. I once wanted to be a rock star and I felt that God wanted to sing for him..I have given him my voice to use for his purpose and I've never been more fufilled singing. Even Paul and Silas sang to God in Acts 16:25 And David sang and played instruments praising God.
I met my wife in 1988, we was married in July 1992 and she passed on Oct 17th 2014.. This was one of 5 songs we played at her funeral. It was one of her favorite songs..
I am so sorry about your wifes' passing, I lost my younger brother on 7-5-16 in an automobile accident after we lived in the same house for 46 yrs...now I have 8 dogs..4 adults and 4 puppies to keep my company,..:).. although, I have no one to talk to when I get off work..:(.
I called out to God when I was at rock bottom and He lifted me up! All thanks, praise, and Glory unto you Almighty God, my Father, my Friend, and my savior through your Son our savior Jesus Christ! I honestly love you!! In Jesus name I pray!!
Me and my brother and sisters would ride around in my oldest sisters car in the colony (TX), I was young and thought it was the coolest thing ever. That was about 25 years ago... Song still reminds me of when we would all pile into a car just to get anything from the grocery so we could feel cool! Love it!
I went to Stryper in 1986 In Vancouver It was Amazing No Drugs or Booze It was the best Concert I've ever been to,They even threw out NIV Bibles hallway through the show
It's amazing how one can say there is no God and keep rejecting him But no matter what, God loves us and He always will .and He's always willing to forgive us in Jesus name..
Honestly I am so grateful for the power of Grace to hold my Head up high and know that I am so grateful to have such amazing artist in the music to reach out to me in my darkest days and know it's going to be okay...
I remember when they started out and my teenage kids were listening to them and they loved their music even tho it was christian... but who cares... they rock forever... good going guys
Es una preciosidad de cancion me quede prendado de ella cuando tenia 15 años me ponia la carne de gallina y a mis 38 años sigue poniendo la carne de gallina es un pedazo de gurpo stryper me trae muchos recuerdos, mi tiempos de joven cuando todo era bonito.Saludos a todos Fernando de Madrid.
This song has to be in the top 5 best power ballads of the 80's era, even though it was unknown to most people!!!!! I've listening to it since it came out and I'm 39 years old and still do not get tired of how beautiful this song really is!!!!
I am not Christian nor do i believe in GOD, I played this album over - over back in 1986 -1987. I truly loved this album through and through being a musician and the VOICE captured me every time! I carried myself for those in my life this way and was always betrayed every time. I still remain true while they pretend.
I have LOVED this sone since the 80's! I found out years and years ago that it's actually a Christian song... I just recently watched The Shack for the first time.. and listening to this song in a completely NEW mindset and I'm seriously in tears!!! I'm legit crying my eyes out!! The movie The Shack resonated with me in such a way.. I related to the father that was a lost soul. I NEEDED that movie and don't know why I waited SO long to watch it! I haven't been the same since...and this is my first time listening to this song since the movie and it's taken on a whole new meaning to me and it's just AMAZING!!!!
we played with striper in Bakersfield California they are amazing guys God bless everyone one of them and God bless Michael's wife may she rest in peace their music is amazing and our music was always produced with the Lord in mind amen
This was my jr. prom song .. I miss those old Care free days.. I remember them as if they were yesterday.. Songs like this spark up old memories of yesterday for me.. Friends i had back then .. That i havent seen for 25 plus years now.. To what we were doing at the time of this song.. I only have one friend that i had from those days left...sad how we have familes and lose track of one another and never speak to them again.. Some are gone now as well..
Thanks. Glad all of you made it. I am struggling because of Staten Island but they never did understand nonviolence. Love the memories though. Tired of the anger over technology.
@NahNahNahNah030201 The song is about the Lord loving us no matter what, not us loving each other. Without God, nothing is possible, not even marriage. I am also a victim of divorce. My parents and my spouse. My little girl and I could suffer it, but we choose to live through it and serve God by serving others in love. Your parents may love you, but God DOES love you. Don't measure God by what your parents did. Call on Him and see what He can do for you. Rely on Him and see what His love can do.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Excelente y buenicima canción que un día le dedique a la que fue mi esposa Laura , ella esta a la par de Diocito ya en el Paraiso y ella sabe que aun la Amo muchicimo
Honestly, I believe in you Do you trust in me Patiently, I will stand by you I will stand beside you faithfully And through the years I will be a friend For always and forever Call on me and I'll be there for you I'm a friend who always will be true And I love you can't you see That I can say I love you honestly [Solo] Call on me and I'll be there for you I'm a friend who always will be true And I love you can't you see That I love you honestly I will never betray your trust in me And I love you can't you see That I can say I love you honestly
This song I dedicated long ago to a friend who ended up becoming my lover. We are no longer together, but still remain friends. Today is my birthday and she played this today at work and started to cry. The reason she played it again was because about 7 months ago I was asked to play drums for this cover and Dirty Deeds by AC/DC. I heard my ex and friend was there. Mind you we have not seen each other in a long time because, well, long story. Anyways the band had the lights off on me and invited her up on stage. Told her this was a special request. Asked is she remembers the person who dedicated it to you. Tears started to form and she said my name. She stood up there in front of me not knowing I was there yet. As they started to play and when I kicked in on the drums they turned on the spot light. The singer and guitarist had her turn around only to see me. She started BALLING!!! She just sat and watched me play. It was like we were in a moment together..Afterwards she gave me a huge hug. Said she made a huge mistake and has known this for a long time. Was a perfect ending to a great show. So now we are still just friends but it brought us even closer. Sad thing is I won't try anything or attempt to date her again. She married and isn't happy, but I'm not a home wrecker. I'm happy for her and that's where it will stay.
Listen to this song…sweet, beautiful and melodic. I agree. I saw Stryper at Radio City Music Hall. 10/30 my and Joe’s B-Day. Loudest concert ever. Louder than Metallica. Amazing. That place is built for annunciating to the back row. Add an arena sound system. Woot!!!
im so happy to you guys that this was the song used in your weddings ^^_, my dad named me with this band name and im proud of it hehe, now im carrying a best christian band name and am proud ^,..,^
17 years old and my bf said this was our song. 34 years later I'm listening to it after he died 3 years ago and we never had a real wedding to dance to it.
To my friend Tyler skaggs I love you and I pray God that you indeed up on heaven I love you I miss you and I thank you for everything my friend and thank you the striper for writing this song
Stryper and God changed my life...I love these guys they are my brothers through Christ...
Amen!!! Jesus can deliver and change anyone. I was a needle junkie and addict for 35 years and he delivered me and changed me on the spot.
God bless, brother!
Amen 🙏🏻
I can honestly say that through bands like Stryper that I have dealt with many symptoms of depression, PTSD (two time war vet), I know where the true strength lies- both in me and the help from OUR Lord- Jesus Christ!!

Michael Sweet one of the finest voices ever in the rock/metal world. Has to be top 10.
si señor
Still is
I am loving the fact that a song I fell in love with 25 years ago, is still reaching people today. GBU
Amen!

Thank-You for your Honesty Stryper. You continue to minister his Salvation through your Music
I sang this at a friend's wedding...back when I was still a soprano...STILL love it!!!
Religion does not matter, what matters is that we serve and glorify God in Our own different ways...
Listening to this, thinking of my precious mommy right now. Lost her on jan. 23rd. Crying, but I realize she's happy and out of pain now. She was only 43 :(
Kyle Slaughter sorry for your loss
So sorry man. The pain dulls but never leaves. It changes you. Lost my Dad few months back.
Sorry for your loss of your mom, nobody wants to lose their mom, it's too painful, but may God rest her soul and may God bless you and put peace in your heart.
I am so sorry sweetheart
" i love you can't you see" it's God's song to us.. I'm sorry, that's too damned young.. For both of you🙏
