God is a female - you must mean lord Rama

bajaja grandasee My god shut up

Praise Jesus

@@HungryForWater oh does the chubby little baby want a wittle bottle? little babys mind too small? of course it is.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, giving him a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Christ is Lord--to the Glory of God the Father - Philippians chapter 2.

I would love that

@@jjhg Sweet, when do I start? Lol

Yes!

He may be surprised just how many albums he would sell. There IS a market for gospel hymns. He's missing a great opportunity. I guess it takes more courage than he's got to do a whole album. He could do it for a Christian charity if he didn't want to worry about the risk of "that album didn't sell as many copies".

@@JunkMailBoxStuff true but he would make a lot of money, bless others and himself... It's a win-win he should do it. No brainer

AMEN

What a great day that will be. I long for it.

What a Day, Glorious Day that will Be!!!

@J Greg There is no need to argue the fact. One day your knee will bow whether you like it or not.

@J Greg Who told you there is no God?

JustNaomi Man me too

Me three.

SAME.

Check him playing Jimi Hendrix. Very respectable

I've only just come across this performance. His respect of the Maori culture as well as his tribute to the victims is really moving. I was really touched by this.

Me too.. BTW I watch your videos. It's great. Keep going!! God bless you!

David Vidal I was stunned til the end then the welling up came in the release at the end of the haka

Me too man.

Awesome brotha. Me too. That's a special moment.

My tears started right away.

Great comment. So real men have emotions.

Exactly man - and my dad’s not dead but this is one of the ones he wants 😶

My mom and I sang this at my Grandpa's funeral.❤❤ Sending Love and Light your way.💞💞

Oh. I feel that 😔

Same here!

That's so sweet. It's my favorite hymn. And always gives me chills/tears to think about the actual words.

Benmontey I believe

Could happen! I mean, look at all the heavy metal musicians who have even turned to Christ. :)

Karen K I believe that I pray for this to happen every day, I believe in the complete transformation of the jonh, I declare every day that he fell in love and gave himself completely to Jesus

Karen K I think you can be a metal musician and still be Christian. There are actually Christian metal bands & churches.

He attends Christian church in his youth, he said

Same here.

He’s still no Christian lol

Remember this. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess.

MikeNRoll808 same!

Same same 👏

MY thoughts precisely

Same same same

Same!

Lily Rose He’s no Christian though

He will

@@jonkobler1637 It would be nice for him to convert to the Faith.

@@davidlane147 Jesus died for all of us tho

Bryan Fury that is a good point. I was about to be critical of John Meyer doing this song. But I read your comment and it changed my perspective. John Meyer not being a Christian, well at least from most visual metrics, yet he still showed respect in doing this song.

Bryan Fury Why doesn’t it matter?

Welp, as a musician who likes Mayer, this is awesome! As a Christian, I pray the Lord works in Mayer. I hope he somehow gets to hear the gospel and receives it.

@@emmanuelibus yes as a preacher's kid I agree!

@@emmanuelibus Amen to that.

Me to....a truly gracious thing to do.

So was I!!

Same, I cried buckets

Well said. ❤

Amen to that. It was interesting to hear this beautiful Hymn sung in their traditional language the lady who sang it has a beautiful strong voice and also Rick Mayer when they sang together. God bless you Newzealand.

Everything you said I say too and more. I couldn’t articulate as well as you. This brought me to my knees when I heard it as it is probably my favorite hymn of all time. And made me love and appreciate John’s heart more than I thought I could. His heart is pure and kind and good. It renewed something in me - I seem to be seeing more and more selfishness in people - the golden rule a thing of the past - him having his platform showing his audiences that selflessness isn’t out of style warmed my heart

guitargeekette John Mayer is NOT a Christian, nor is he even a believer. As a matter of fact if u look within enough videos of interviews, he gives a very agnostic view of what he thinks when it comes to God. Though it’s understandable since he was raised in a half Christian half Jewish home, He does not carry the example of a Christian whatsoever. Though he did perform this hymn, he lives The exact opposite lifestyle that Jesus tells us to live in the gospel and I quote: John 14, Mathew 24.

I thought John Mayer adopted his father's Jewish faith. But there is one thing for sure: he keeps his faith and is able to project it to the world through music. God bless John Mayer!

I always had a feeling he was a fellow brother ☝🏻🙌

@@truthfulrobot9295 yeah me to

He is not a believer but Hymns are great and beautiful to sing

I love this! 🥰

Nope, Johnny is a smart man. He isnt stupid enough to believe the Earth is 6000 years old 😂😂😂

Is he a believer, or not?

Not as far as I know. I have been a fan of his for many years but since I became a believer I typically don’t listen to secular music much but found this and couldn’t help but praise God and hope John Mayer becomes a beliver🕊🕊🕊

justin roberts you do realise he didn’t write this?

Hey Sue, Of course I know JM didn’t write this. It’s a beautiful Christian hymn! That’s how I got here. I was listening to worship music and this showed up in my sidebar. I have been a fan of his since I first heard the heavier things album when it came out. It’’d be cool if he covered Hillsong or Bethel next!

What a great thing to know John Mayer is a born again believer! I’m a Christian but still love John Mayer I pray he truly finds salvation with our lord Jesus

Absolutely 🙏🏼

Amen brother.

thats truee

Are you family or a close friend of his? I didn't think so, so how could you say he's secular, how do know he doesn't have Jesus Christ in his heart? You don't know is heart or his life. It's assuming and judgmental people that give Christ's believers a bad name.

This is so true.

The Valentine Show so agree with this. Lets keep praying

@@Secorad Amen

Talent not Anointing Major Difference!

Larry WoB God is the giver of talent as well as anointing.

He is on the Creator’s side. When you play from the heart, the Creator smiles :)

Not to step on your beliefs but one does not need a god to be kind to other people. It's a beautiful song and I really appreciate the sentiment. Hope you have a nice day!

Markus Bettig she didn’t say it was necessary to be kind. She said if everyone had gods love in their heart to love one another hatred could be rid of this world. But too many people love their sin and temptations of the flesh more, and have satan in their heart. This is his kingdom and it’s a fallen world. all she said was positive and you of course had to be negative. There’s always two sides to a coin, well stay on the positive, God’s love side, God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

❤️

@@TheAcIlla "Not to step on one's beliefs" But yet you did. SMH. You are lost guy. Creation/Creator is only logical and quite frankly, Scientifically proven. Saying that it's only you is Ego talking. You were created, you would cease to exist without the Most High.

And if you dont evangelize Muslims or non believers you actually are practicing a form of hatred

I agree. I've been a fan of John since I was a teenager, and I expected him to maybe say a few words of condolences, but not something like this. As a New Zealander, this was especially moving to watch. The Maori verses were beautiful, and the performance as a whole gave me a feeling of comfort and peace. The haka at the end was a way to honor those we have lost. You can see some of the women in the hapa haka crying. I am stunned, yet incredibly touched, that an American artist went to such lengths to ensure not only a touching tribute, but a culturally compassionate one too, by incorporating the christian religion which is dominant in NZ, and the significance of the Maori culture and language to New Zealanders. All of this from someone who isn't kiwi, who isn't religious and who doesn't speak the Maori language. Compassion, understanding and the need to comfort go beyond all of that. This speaks volumes about the kind of person John is. I love how the drummer stays still the entire performance, just watching and respectfully observing too. I have read he closed the show with Heart of Life, which was perfect. Such a compassionate way to open and then close a show. People in their majority are good. Always look for the good.

Yes we were 5 rows back and spend over NZ$800 for two tickets but man it was worth it. Seems like a genuinely humble guy that enjoyed sharing the spotlight with his band and took pleasure from when the others were doing solos etc. Great great night.

@@Airnewzealand15 I genuinely didn't know he toured here last year, or I would have gone. I last saw John in concert in Christchurch in the early 2000's. He is a wonderful performer and also a very funny and kind person. This tribute is a comfort and a very moving tribute. I was surprised to see this, yet he pulled it off very respectfully.

Ditto! Worth every cent. So emotional.

musicsmuse09 glory to God!

@@mattnewsome3199 That's true...what I said wasn't a commentary on the status of his salvation, I certainly wouldn't presume to know his standing with the Father. The bible clearly says that everything that has breath will praise and confess that Jesus is Lord (I'm paraphrasing here, but can give you the scriptures if you like.) You never know, maybe singing this hymn ministered to him and planted the seed of salvation. Either way, it was beautiful.☺

@@musicsmuse09 agree

musicsmuse09 indeed singing is how we minister to each other and ourselves, or how the spirit does it 🙏🏼🙏🏼 singing is a way of great teaching

@@mattnewsome3199 he needs God's blessing as much as anyone else. God came for sinner not saints .

Jennifer Cramer ....Amen Jen...God Bless You

❤️

Noiseless Sounds there were plenty of wars where religion had no part

Give props to the guitarist playing - the great Isaiah Sharkey - legit gospel cat....guitar player's guitarist

I would have been a John Mayer fan because I loved his first couple of albums until he opened up his private life in the Rolling Stones and gave too much information about his relationship with Jennifer. Then I didn’t like him Any more

Jamie Payet Music thanks for sharing that :-)

God Bless you!

@@johnakridge3846 God bless you too. Greetings from Thailand 🇹🇭🙏😊

@@vj_salud beautiful comment

@@rebeccafry3575Thankyou. God's love be with you wherever you go. 😊

@@terrytay1774 Right, because the wise & informed understand that grieving is a zero-sum game. (/sarcasm)

The female singer (wish I knew her name) was singing initially by herself in Māori language. For a tiny country of 5million, New zealand has an abundance of brilliant Māori and islander singers. Strong foundation of learning music, harmonies etc, singing in church.

@@seabreeze3906 her name is Bella Kalolo 💕

Deborah De Groot~ I love thst you were there for your Mother in such a way. My Mother passed 3yrs ago, and she was a fan of this hymn too. May God be with you. 🌷

@@michellerjackson5776and with you also :)

winslow wong That’s my dude! Very talented musician and very humble cat.

not too shamed to admit I teared up on this one,,,man o man

Lone Star he was a VERY good guitarist. He had a 3 minute solo that night that just went on and on but was flipping amazing!

I saw him playing at John's gig in Melbourne couple of days ago, his improvisation in Waiting on the world to change was legendary!

He played with John in KC in 2017 and he gave him his credit, trust me. Usually happens at the end of the show

Lone Star oh yea, he’s a beast

that looks like David Ryan Harris to me...

Yup over 40% of NZ according to our last census checked "Non-religious".

This is a Christian song performed in tribute to the lives lost at a Christian church...religious comments are fitting and , I imagine, would be welcome by the religious people whose lives were taken

@@beauacuff7557 wrong this is a tribute to innocent Muslims gunned done by a White extremists in a Mosque in Christchurch New Zealand...maybe Fox News hasn't told you yet?
