When my brother was 12 yrs old he had to have a brain tumor removed from the middle of his brain. This song played over and over as we prayed for his healing. He was never supposed to walk or talk again. 6 months after surgery he was completely normal and now has a beautiful family and finished his 10th triathlon!!!! GOD'S GRACE IS AMAZING!

I first heard the song in 1990 as a 21 year old. It was a fall of Iron Curtain in Eastern Europe where I grew up. This song was played when Billy Graham spoke a Gospel message. It was showing in all cities and venues. Thousands of people came to Jesus. Huge movement! I remember the tears...

I was 6 years old when this was released. The first time I ever saw this video and every time after I cried and cried. I knew at 6 what Jesus did and the profound effect it had on me as a small child stayed with me my entire life. I'm 40 now. I haven't seen this video in over 30 years and I sit here still crying watching this video. The amazing sacrifice of Jesus, and the awesome love of God. Brings me to my knees.

I truly love this song. Ya know, my sister was one of the strongest Christian women I ever knew. As you can see, I'm speaking in past tense. God took her home when she was 32 years old. The same age I am right now. She never lost faith that she would be healed by God's grace and she was... just not in the way that we here on earth had wanted. Sometimes God's ambition is different than our own and that's not always easy to reconcile. Praise be to God that his secret ambition allowed for my sister to meet her heavenly Father and live eternity with Him. As she laid in her hospital bed, unable to speak due to the respirator in her mouth, I promised her I would see her again one day. Thanks to Jesus, I will.

In my opinion, the greatest Christian music video ever produced. It's not even close. Spoke to me in high school the first time I saw it. And still to this day. Your vision was palpable and heartfelt. And no one has touched it since. Plays today just as powerfully as it did the first time I saw it. Almost 30 years ago. I've been a video editor for 15 years now. And this video, is one of the major reasons why. It inspired me. It still inspires me to this day. Hopefully at some point I can put together something as meaningful as this has been for millions, maybe even billions of people. But count me in as one of them.

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song...I was 10 years old and attending a church camp. It moved me so much that I cried and dedicated my life to Jesus. Although it was a long time later until I was baptized and fully dedicated myself to his teachings. This song was what started me on my path to God. Although I deviated from it and left him for a bit, he never left me.

@victoriastang 2 жыл бұрын

Church camp is the best! I don't have an experience with this particular song there but a particular experience I had once one year (I went every year from 5-15 years old) is what makes me be able to believe in God without question. I had a lot of good experiences there but this one takes the cake. Pastor was right in the middle of her sermon. We were just sitting there listening, nothing intense was happening and out of nowhere we felt it like a warm wind, the spirit moved right through that room and covered us. We were all completely bewildered, wondering if we all just felt that, we all are looking around at each other amazed. It was confirmed what we felt when the pastor immediately stopped preaching, said the spirit is here and we're going to do alter call and have the worship team come back and sing. We proceeded to glorify his name late into the night. Praise be to God, hallelujah! We were drunk in the spirit when church finally ended. Nothing will ever compare to that feeling again. Sometimes I wish it was a little more achievable to feel the spirit move like that at every church service but unfortunately if there are too many hearts closed off to his love, then it just doesn't happen. Sorry for my long comment.

Easter & Christmas are Pagan, worship of false gods and have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. Christmas is about Nimrod and when setting up a Christmas tree, decorating it its a symbol of false gods worship towards Nimrod, nothing to do with Jesuss birth and Easter is about Ishtar the goddess of fertility and It has been twisted this way to deceive Christians starting in Babylon times. Don't let pagan traditions deceive you. Jesus is on His way back sooner then we think, we must open our eyes and repent from false gods worship in Jesus name....

Wel I say that Easter is a time to stop and remember that God our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross to save our souls from sin so we have a second chance of eternal life!..... Jesus didn't have to sacrifice His life for us but He did..... And Christmas is the time that Christians remember that Jesus Christ...Our Lord and Savior was born on Earth so He could experience a life as a human just like us and then die as we do but then rise again 3 days later....taking our sins away!...... p.s. read the true Bible!

I first got serious about Christianity when I was 15 (1995). At the time it was very common for Christian youth to get rid of their "secular" music. So I threw away lots of tapes, and cds... My dad had a stash of late 80's / early 90's Christian music and that was all I had for a couple of years. But I really liked this song back then, and I used to get chills listening to it.

*Lyrics* Young man up on the hillside Teaching new ways Each word winning them over Each heart a kindled flame Old men watch from the outside Guarding their prey Threatened by the voice of the paragon Leading their lambs away Leading them far away Nobody knew His secret ambition Nobody knew His claim to fame He broke the old rules steeped in tradition He tore the holy veil away Questioning those in powerful position Running to those who called His name But nobody knew His secret ambition Was to give His life away His rage shaking the temple His word to the wise His hand healing on the seventh day His love wearing no disguise Some say, "Death to the radical He's way out of line." Some say, "Praise be the miracle God sends a blessed sign. A blessed sign for troubled times." Nobody knew His secret ambition Nobody knew His claim to fame He broke the old rules steeped in tradition He tore the holy veil away Questioning those in powerful position Running to those who called His name But nobody knew His secret ambition Was to give His life away

Well hello. This is Don Mayer. Wrgn is a Christian radio station in northeastern Pennsylvania. Here is the good news. You may go to wrgn.com to listen to it outside the radio broadcasting area. But, I'm so glad you asked the question. I've been blind since birth and use computers with speech software. Yesterday, wrgn.com played Surrounded by Michael W. Smith. It sounded excellent. I'm glad to send out this reply on a Saturday because it keeps my mind occupied. You see, my wife died on a Saturday in December of 2016. Also, I put my dog to sleep two Saturdays ago. As I might have said, I'm typing this on a Saturday. Wrgn.com plays a variety of music and programs. wrgn.com is the website. If you have other questions, please let me know. Michael W. Smith has a whole lot of great songs. Let's talk about them if you want to do so.

The reason they're not writing songs this good anymore is because praise and worship music basically ruined it. They traded in interesting sounds and lyrics for repetitive, overly simplistic songs because complexity is being lost on Americans. I'm an atheist, by the way, but I still like some of the old-school music.

I heard this song for the first time at regional band in 1992 my sophomore year of high school. It was also the very first contemporary Christian song I had ever heard. Almost thirty years later and it is still as powerful now as then. Hands down my favorite song of all time.

This song still inspires me -- no one knew Jesus was giving His life way out of love and mercy for us. That's why it's still a mystery to those who are without Jesus why and how his followers can exhibit such devotion, self-sacrifice and unconditional love despite persecution and problems. But, as these saints will say -- as Mother Teresa often did -- it's not us, it's all Him. We're just letting Him shine through.

This was by far one of the best songs Mr. Smith ever wrote and performed. There is so much Scriptural Meat in this song which is exactly what the Church is missing these days. I pray the body would come back to its senses and bring this style of music back instead of the likes of Bethel.

I haven't watched this video for years, when I used to watch it every day. I cried and got sick to my stomach each and every time I watched it. And now, though I don't cry I still get sick to my stomach but this song is so powerful and it hits me right in my heart each time I hear it. I have seen lots of people depicting Jesus in many things and still whoever this man was who plays Jesus I still believe that he is the best depiction of Jesus ever. Though admittedly I never watched "The Passion of the Christ" so maybe that person did a good job, but this one, still the best IMO.
