What sets Lacey apart from so many other artists is that she believes so wholeheartedly every word that she is singing. That sincerity is raw and apparent.

This performance had soooo much more emotion than the studio version, and I love the studio version :)

Listening to her testimony makes me cry. I remember being in that same moment . I love her voice. She gives me chills all over when I hear her testify to the truth

Been a fan for years but, after listening to her testimonial, that first "I'm alive!" brought tears to my eyes....wow. I get it now.

She was absolutely phenomenal

this performance just changed me. i, too, am 16 and am experiencing the same thing that lacey did. i went through the toughest year of my life and i wanted to die. i felt like everyone was better off without me anyways, so it wouldn’t matter. i was so depressed that i wouldn’t eat, sleep, or just do anything normal. i put on a facade for my friends at school, but i came home and just laid on my floor for hours. i felt like nobody understood or saw me, not my friends, parents, or even God. and im going to be completely honest, i resented God for a very long while. i felt like God left me all by myself and he wasn’t there with me holding my hands. i was raised in a christian household my entire life, so all i’ve been taught was about God. and i felt like with all i went through that what i was taught about God was completely contrary. “i’m alive, i’m alive”. yes, i am alive. and i have been doing so much better. this song made me realize that God was in fact there with me otherwise i wouldn’t be alive. he made me for a reason.

More than 10 years later and I still feel goosebumps with this song!

i cry because i can relate to her testimony. every time ive pushed away God, i knew i was lying. after so long, i started to live a dark/blind life. knowing exactly how and why i got there. doing the very things i told myself i would never do. drugs, abortion, lying, cheating, stealing, pretty much everything under the sun that could hurt our creator. i could repent for days and still feel like it could never be enough. although in Gods eyes, we are all good enough. Stay Blessed!

What a voice!!!!! Miss them flyleaf days!

I was 18 the first time I heard this song. Today I am 30 and I still listen to it and it makes sense... I owe it all to my heavenly father... Thank you for so much Lacey. Gracias desde El Salvador 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻💙

She's got such a powerful testimony; appreciate her sharing it! I miss Flyleaf; their music has been so influential to me!

Her voice always gives me the chills! Love you Lacey! ❤️❤️❤️

shes puts a ton of soul into her music.

this is why i fought as a solider. we need people like this in the worl.

2 yrs later, and her testimony still makes me cry.

Yes, she definitely is art. Amazing art.

Almost 16yrs im 10yrs old that time 1sttime I listen to this song and still now i love this song im 26yrs old and ihave family now this song for me never gets old🖤

thats incredible. the story behind it is beauitful

I remember seeing them as a teen ❤ Lacey has a gift that is unmatched

Wow one of my favorite songs I never knew she was going to commit suicide & that song was her sharing her encounter with God. No wonder they pushed themselves as a christian band. I'm glad she's able to share this years later this video is about to save so much lives. Peace & love to all who reads this.

Man what a voice

God Is So Good. Thank You God for revealing Yourself to Lacey. God You Are ALIVE. Thank You Jesus 🙌 AMEN 🙏

5:33 and 5:47 sound so good. I love the extra vocals she added

Lacey is such a inspiration to me her music has helped me get through some difficult times in my life.

Iconic 00s rock singer

I Praise God for your life sister lacey may you continue sharing Gods love to all of us ☝️❤️🙏❤️👏 God bless you

Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear her testimony about this song. I always felt connected to this song( since I was in my 20s ) today at 53 Is the first time I heard Lacey’s testimony. I love God and I know He loves me, but I’m struggling with my bipolar depression so badly- I just don’t know why I’m here anymore. 🙏🏼

so so so much emotion in this wow

Beautiful testimony and awesome song.

That was Awesome. She's still got it. 😃🤩😇

This means so much, knowing there are passionate hearts on this planet, pulling God's power into our world, combating the efforts of evil to take us down

There are singers and then there are soulful wholesome singers ❤

nice story in the beginning and the performance as well

Love this message, thank you for opening up.

Such a beautiful story and amazing transition to the song. It made me tear up.

Lacey’s so cute she’s the best

God Bless You Lacey! Stay Strong!

her voice is the only voice to make me want to cry, she's amazing😔

fucking amazing. I really thought she lost it when she went away from her original style for a while, and I haven't caught up with her music in years, but I see she found her self in the best of ways.

I’m so sad I didn’t see her this year. I hope she goes on tour again.

My best friend who I considered a brother is from this little town Simpsonville,SC. One night after our band played a show (without telling anybody). I never u understood at the time. I lost my best friend and brother that night and felt like I lost everything and felt alone wondering how everything could come to a hault out of nowhere.... years later I realiZe it was selfish of me to not understand that he needed to find himself and who he was as a human. Now that years have gone by, I've seen him 1 time and always wondered if he never moved from Massachusetts back to Simpsonville how my life would've turned out. I was in self destruct mode for along time and never really felt the same again....but anyways, I come here because Laceys songs, and singing makes me feel better and helps me cope knowing there are other people out there who feel the same as I did/do and to always have faith and believe in whatever/whoever that may be . You Never lose faith, it will always be with you ....even when you think it left you like the people in your life can. ♥️ Thank you

God bless you and your so real never surrender 🙏

I miss flyleaf ❤❤

The drunk “woooo”s get me haha

I can’t help it but I have a huge crush on her and always have since discovering the band! Not only is she beautiful but her voice, her movements she does like in Flyleaf’s music videos, what a beautiful & amazing women!

She's amazing. ♥️

She Rocks

Yoooooo I was a fan for years, and it just goes to show what happens when you let hate fuel your life and soul. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

This is so moving and awesome. WOW!!!!!

She expresses what she feels and and we can tell it's quite heartfelt. That's why any cover of songs like All Around Me will never be powerful, even Kristen May couldn't do this song justice. One has to have suffered great pain and wanted to die and then be relieved of that pain and 180 into finally being able to love life only after being a slave to pain. This recording of this song is my favourite version, I feel her emotions every time and give me a gratitude for being alive and happy.

I love Lacey Sturm and her love for God!! And of course I love her unique voice! She did an awesome job but it sounded to me like her voice was straining that night. Unless she was just so overwhelmed with emotion it was just difficult to sing. Either way, she still pulled it off! She is a true professional!

she still got it

Omg! The chills!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This crowd SUCKS. I would have been going crazy!!

Beautiful

I love her

queen

This is awesome

Holy crap, how in the world did I miss this??? I live right near Simpsonville!

Wow....really amazing

Shes still got it

Cara, que voz maravilhosa e que nostalgia absurda ver esse momento.

Lácey sturm 👏👏❤️😍😍🇧🇷🙏

miss Lacy so much...

I love her so much😢

❤❤❤

Miss her

I was there!!

💜💜💜

Ella siempre logra tocar mi corazon con sus hermosas palabras de vida , por eso mi amor a dios es dia a dia mas grande

TAKE ME TO CHURCH!!!! ❤❤🙏🙏

Well holy shit. Welcome to my body, strange shivers... and mixed emotions.. and this unexplained moisture on my cheeks...❤

Damn.

😪👏🎶💜🖤❤️🙏

good for her

My hands are searching for you My arms are outstretched towards you I feel you on my fingertips my tongue dances behind my lips for you This fire runs in through my being Burning, I'm not used to seeing you I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing My hands float up above me And you whisper you love me And I begin to fade Into our secret place The music makes me sway The angels singing say, "We are alone with you" I am alone and they are too with you I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing And so I cry (holy) The light is white (holy) And I see you I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing Take my hand, I give it to you Now you own me, all I am You said you would never leave me I believe you, I believe I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healed

I Can Tell She Was Emotional I Was Too

Im catholic and i love her music

that is why LACEY is FLYLEAF and FLYLEAF is CHRISTIAN METAL / EMO

😘

people who only know flyleaf from tik tok piss me off… some of these comments are not it

Tom Green on the acoustic

I've always loved this song, and band, but I never understood it until today. I really wouldn't have understood it 2 years ago. God's presence is profoundly present in Lacey. She was put here for a purpose, and she is following that path of spreading God's love with ZERO question.

Someone get this girl a band. Find the best guitar players around.

Lacey legit saves

she might be the best to ever do it

idk what she on about but this song fye

Lacy do you feel like working with Strawhorse? You are us... Its so crazy..

That's the divisions logo from starset

Im OUT HERE STALKING

Why's her voice shaking?

🥹😭

Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life.

I love that bish

Why is it I care more about what she said then the crowd?

Now everyone can end the debate about fly leaf being a Christian band or not.

I'm literally just finding out that Flyleaf was a Christian band... Man, Christian bands from the 2000's made the coolest music.

If we are not mistakes and are on purpose like she said, cuz obviously god wouldnt choose favorites. What about a boy 6yrs old abducted then tortured and killed? Is he on purpose? If he is, then was it his purpose to suffer terrified? As a believer im just curious.

Great Christian lyrics song
