Beautiful song. I lost my husband to cancer. I didn’t want to live without him but I kept believing he would be healed and a month before he passed he accepted the Lord. To me that was his healing. I knew that we will see other again. 💕
Patti when you get the phone call informing you that you have the big C word you life is turned upside down. When I got that phone call my 1st thought was that the were joking or got the wrong person. But within a few minutes of continuing to talk to them I realized that they weren’t kidding. My 2nd thought was “OK God, how do we get through this together?” I put my faith in God that I was going to survive. At the time I didn’t have a wife to miss me if I died, still don’t. But I knew by the grace of God I was going to survive. And I have.
Luke and Courtney’s song came to me in the autumn of 2014, just as we began to realize I was very sick. Not having my own words to express what it was doing to me emotionally and spiritually, these lyrics were how I communicated what I was going through, and how I asked for help. The album Run Wild served as an anchor through the 3 long years it took to diagnose me, then the next 2 years of treatment before we began to see any improvement. Very grateful for people like them who share their stories in the midst of it. For me it made all the difference.
I'm SO sorry to hear about this, but i, even now will continue to pray for you! GOD HAS MADE A MIRACLE HAPPEN IN YOU LUKE! Good Bless you! MUCH LOVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS! AMEN! :) Made me cry, i will continue to praise The Lord and pray you make a full recovery, it's 2022 and your new albums are great! CONTINUED PRAYERS!
I love how Kourtney says "I don't want to LIVE without you", and Luke says "I don't want to LEAVE without you". This seriously almost brings me to tears. And it should.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
Just stumbled accross this video. Just made me cry. I am a new fan of just a few weeks ago. I was not familiar with you and your music (where have I been?) Lost my husband of 35 years it will be 2 years on 1/7/2024. This song and your music in general have been such a profound blessing to me. One of my favorite songs of yours is Joy. I choose joy and hope and I have faith in this life and the next. May God bless you abundantly. You are anointed!
I absolutely love For King & Country and this song only solidifies my respect for their talent and passion for Christ. I sent this to my husband. In 2013, at only 27 years old, my husband had to watch me struggle for life for three months in the ICU begging for me to be able to breathe and come out of the coma and off of life support. I can't imagine what he went through watching his wife suffer and just crying to God to save me. I so admire his strength and passion and love for me. God sent me an angel on Earth when he brought him into my life. A year and a half later, we just celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary and I hope we have many more. To God be the glory!
Tiffany, God touches all His Children and holds them in His arms. I’m so happy to read you celebrated your 6th wedding anniversary 4 yrs ago. May Our Lord continue to bless and keep you and your family wrapped in His arms.
When I heard you sing this song during your concert on June 28th in Fort Worth, Texas, I broke down and cried. A dear girl sitting next to me reached over and held my hand as the tears fell. I listened to every word. It brought back all the feelings I had experienced with my dear, sweet husband, who died in 2004 from brain cancer. I haven't finished grieving and this song is helping me, as painful as it is. We enjoyed each moment, each minute, and thanked God for each memory. I miss my husband dearly and desperately. Not many songs touch the heart so deeply as this one. Truthfully, no one knows how much time we each have left here on earth.Thank you for your openness and honesty in writing it. I will continue to pray you.
I love reading comments on UA-cam. I watch videos and look at comments. This video made me cry, but you sharing this story made me cry a LOT more. The courage to say this is much. I want you to know that God loves you, and as a believer (and newly called to ministry 16-year-old) I will pray for you for as long as I remember this, which I hope is for a long time.
Hello Debra Lilies. Thank you for asking. I am doing better than two years ago. I will always miss my dear husband, however, God is giving me the courage to learn new skills and meet new friends. I joined the senior center when I turned 50 and a wonderful woman adopted me into her family. "MeMaw" had also lost her husband and we have bonded. I needed some one to weep with me, and she does. A bible verse says that God places the lonely in families and I feel like He has done that for me. I look forward to seeing For King and Country in Arlington Tx in December. And continue to pray for their health and success.
King and country am not sure if yous will ever see this comment but my mom is dying from cancer she has 2days to live. I want to thank yous for writing this song it helps me getting thought it 🙏🥀 thank you and God bless yous all.
I just love Luke's spirit. So very sincere. He's not afraid to share his feelings. I am an October person as well. We feel and love so hard. I pray that God will send that kind of man into my life so that we can love each other the way Luke and Courtney's love each other. Someone that I can say to; "I can't live without you and even I don't want to live without you. God is first however and I am second. Still waiting patiently.💞
So powerful, so honest and pure. I am moved and touched. I pray for Luke's complete and total healing. I can't hold back my tears. LOVE IS SUCH A WONDERFUL EMOTION. Can't you all sense these 2 mens love for their ways. Again, I pray that God will send me a relationship like that. I need it and want it. I know "With God all things are possible." Can I get an Amen?😇👫
I always believed my husband would be healed. But a few weeks he passed he accepted the Lord. That was his healing. Internal life. Praise God. Love the song 💕.
Beautiful!!! Dear God, I come 2 u asking that u will heal Luke from whatever is attacking his body. Lord, you said in Ur word that Jesus your only son went on the cross and died for us. Meaning, He died for us to be healed. So Lord I'm sending up this prayer that u will touch every part of his body and heal him. Also Lord, heal his mind if there is some unbelief in there. Let his faith take over where there maybe some doubt, just because the doctors dont know what is causing it. Lord, help him to receive Ur healing and believe that you are not finish with him yet. Let him know that you have so much on earth for him to do. Give his wife that same courage, and strength. Lord, also touch the rest of his family and protect them and help them to remove anything that may be hinder his healing. Give them strength to know that it's not over and that its more to come. You said in your word if 1 or 2 agree and believe that its done. In Jesus Name Amen...
Has IBD, which in simple terms either Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis. Crohns is the more serious of the two affecting all digestive systems for mouth to anus (sorryTMI). My grandmother died at 71 of complications from it and I was diagnosed 9 yrs ago with severe case. I still suffer everyday with it, the arthritis is so bad from it that at my age 34, I can't give my daughter a bath or hold a pen sometimes. However the plus side is altho I am a skinny lil thing, the clinical trial I, in has kept me from being hospitalized recently. And I give God all the praise❤️🙌
Your prayer is so honest that made me think of how I've been trying to run away from my church, my faith, and my family. Tonight I'll make a prayer for you because somehow you just became an angel for me. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. "Because of His great love for us, we are not consumed...His mercies are new every morning." Great is His faithfulness." That's my prayer for you, Luke.
I have cancer its stage three and I will win Amen! I remember having a discussion and I made the mastake of saying no matter what happens I will always be alive. To my wife I was saying im going to die. She stopped me and said your not going to leave me and you better not give up and fight this. We both were crying that day because no matter how tough you men think you are to see your life partner in despair is the most awakening to your soul. I can relate.
I found this song 6yrs ago, my husband went thru pretty much the same thing as Luke; took him a few years to get better & for a while there I thought I was going to be a young widow. We just celebrated our anniversary! Listening to it makes me realize how far God carries us all thru this! I’m glad we made it to the other side & love lasts!!
Wow this song gives me flashbacks on what I was going through when I was 16 doctors had no hope in me.i was going to die and I was very weak as well but I new God was going to heal me from getting cancer and lukimiia both and the same time and I kept my faith I didn't believe in what the doctor's told me and today I'm 18 about to turn 19 and God healed me when I was still 16 I am the living testimony that God still does great miracles
@abigail! Man girl you are a walking miracle of God!! Please share this as much as possible! I don't know you but this made me so incredibly happy that if I saw you I would want to give you a hug! God is always great!!
I think you are such a beautiful family and beautiful couple. Your testimony will help so many people who are struggling right now. May God pour His love and blessings upon your family.
I too have IBD and my niece has crohns. It's a terrible disease. I know your pain and your suffering. Aloe juice is the best to put it in remission. I been suffering from it for years. God Bless you Luke and thankyou for sharing.
I first saw for King and Country live at Winterjam in January of 2016. I had liked a few of their songs for a while, but had never really listened to most of their other music. After Winterjam, I felt this great connection to this band because of what they stood for. I'd never heard any men speak of women in the light that they do. God wanted me to hear that I am priceless and deserve to be treated as such, but he also had a much greater plan. I had been struggling with digestive issues for about 5 years, and had gotten so fed up with constantly being sick that I broke down and saw a doctor. I didn't want to live being how sick I was. It wasn't life. On March 31, 2016, after many tests, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I broke down crying and said sorry to my mom, even though I have no control over this illness. Throughout these past 9 months, I've had many more tests and have been put on many new medications. As of two weeks ago, my Crohn's disease is officially in remission. Listening to your music has really helped me through this past year, and I am honestly so grateful for it. Looking back, I think God connected me with this band because he knew exactly what I was going to need. He knew that once I got my diagnosis, I was going to need something to connect to to show me that I am not alone in my fight, and that's why he showed me you. I know you probably won't see this, but I hope someone who does see this takes away this from it. You're going to be faced with challenges that you aren't going to have any control over, but God knows everything you need and ever will need, and he will provide. Never forget that.
A few months ago I listen to your band and when I heard this song i cried, my father has cancer, it has been about 1 and half year with that illness, it has been hard to my family, and listening the song, i thought in my mother. i remember one day before the surgery, we were crying and praying for my dad's health, and after watching my dad so thin, my mother suffering for my dad's illness, and watching him weak and crying because he can't be strong now in front of us, and yes, we are not ready to live withouth him , we'll keep praying for my dad, and having faith that God will bring us the miracle, so let's dance a little, laugh a little, hope a little more...
Hermosa canción, Luke, me encanta esta canción, el SEÑOR JESUCRISTO BENDIGA, A tu familia, los amo mucho chicos, saludos y bendiciones desde Ciudad Juárez Chihuahua México 🇲🇽,.
I’ve enjoyed your music for a long time and back in September 2019 not even a month after my husband passed away from lymphoma this song came on. I had my music shuffling. I had heard it many times before but never really listened. I played it again and just wept. I said that to my husband-I didn’t want to do this life without him. What a beautiful song. Yes, the reality makes you appreciate every moment together. Thank you for sharing. In my grief I listen, remember & weep!❤️💔 Blessings to you all!
i love your song Without You, Luke, i keep on playing it over and over and i don't get tired of it. Actually, i love all your songs and your music, worth buying your CD. please keep on making songs that is inspiring, gives hope and glorifying Jesus. God bless you both, your group and your family.
I wanted to thank you for sharing this very personal and very touching story; we saw you play in The Woodlands Nov 2013, myself, my husband and our 11 yr old son ALL enjoyed your show immensely - your music knows no age boundaries, we all LOVE it and appreciate you individually so much, I pray for your 100% healing ♥♥ .. When any of your songs come on The Message station or KSBJ, it's a given that whomever is closest to volume knob to crank it up and we sing, my kid plays air drums or usually he has his sticks that he bought at your concert and plays the back of the seat. God bless you.
Luke, my brother in Christ, my heart is with you and Courtney on this one. It's like you wrote this for me and my husband. I have battled with health issues since I was 15 and I am now 42...that's a LONG time. To this day, the doctors still can't say definitively what ails me. I was diagnosed with an aortic murmur, irregular heartbeat and prolapsed mitral valve in my teens, but was healed from in my adult years. I spent the spring semester of my sophomore year in high school at home because the medicine was so awful. They do know that I have PCOS and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which is in the autoimmune disease category. They cannot say what is causing that or the joint inflammation. God is in control and HE gives me the strength to get up every day and work. In HIS infinite wisdom, I have a husband who has a servants heart and takes care of our boys and our home. He was laid off right before 9/11 and has stayed home with our boys all this time. We have major role reversal, but I believe God has us walking this path for a reason and we will obey HIM and sit back and watch the show! What I do know, is that God has been with me all this time and I know that HE has used my story to help others, just as I know HE will use your story. Keep strong! Your family in Christ is at the alter praying for you so rest in that knowledge. The first chapter of James, which I memorized while courting my husband, has been a huge comfort to me during this battle. God knew I would need it so HE put that desire in my heart to memorize it. How COOL is HE!! 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Well... just gonna go and cry in a corner now... bless you for all you've gone through. I know that's thought of a lot of times as just "Christian talk" but I really do believe that God has blessed you so much because you endured all of this and did it with grace and with hope when it was hardest.
I am choreographing a dance to a duet to this song, with a girl in my church and I am trying to find the centerpiece to it. And I found something in this video it’s the emotion and strength onto each other because we are each God masterpieces.
Me and my sister are huge fans. we both memorized all your songs including the Christmas song "GLORIOUS" We live in Wichita, Kansas and we go Winter Jam every year. 2014-15 was our favorite because of you... my friend doesn't like Christian music except for yours. We love you guys.
by the way, we also went to your concert on your recent tour... we brought our friend and she and I were really hoping for Luke to bring out Courtney. We also wanted his autograph but we heard your son was there. Family before fame.
Such a truly touching video and song....... I am humbled by your honesty and courage! Thank you for reminding me to be thankful for my many blessings from our amazing Lord Jesus each and every minute of each and every day.
I’ve found the same comfort in Our Lord’s arms and I walk His chosen path by His light. He brought me out of darkness that I had been stumbling in and had lost my to him, but He heard my fervent prayer! He brought my husband and I together and has TRULY and Miraculously lead our lives in His light, on His path! It’s all in His perfect timing!!!
It is these experiences that give me hope and help me to believe more and more in God and believe that He uses you and your experiences to impacting the hearts of people worldwide! Mto God bless you always, and thank the Lord for delivering the Luke and thank you for sharing this moment! Know that God moved me through their music and their experiences heart, thank you for that! God bless you all so much!
Hi, this interview and song hit home with me, I was originally diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, fortunately it hit me while in high school, I wasn't married yet. I lost 55 lbs in the first month, and like you, there is nothing you can do but lay there and hurt. I took all kinds of medication, the only thing that half-way worked was prednisone, had colon removed when I was 19. A couple years later, I had to have stomach surgery, a year later, another stomach surgery. Then they diagnosed me with Crohn's. The song really captures that feeling I had when meds did't work, I couldn't move, just hurt, it felt like someone dragging a rake through my guts, it was terrible. Since then, God has blessed me with a lovely wife and 2 beautiful girls that are almost grown. I still take infusions, in fact I have one today, it keeps my crohn's at bay. Thank you for writing a song for those of us that have gone through, or going through tough times, it's good to know we are not alone in this journey, and thank's to Courtney for singing and telling her side of the story too.
BLESS THEAR HEARTS IM PRYING FOR YOU GUYS AGAIN I SHARD MY STORY THIS MORNING BECUSE MY SON WAS GOING THE SAME THING WE HAVE A NEW DOG NOW AND SHE LOVES YOU GUYS SO MUCH THE GOD IS HEALING YOU ALL THAT LADY SED I LOVE COURTEY WAS SAYING TO HER HUSBEND I DON,T WHAT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU AND LUKE SED I DON,T WHAT TO LEAVE WITHOUT YOU THAT MADE ME TEAR UP
God made us incredible people because, in the most difficult moments of our lives, we manage to do extraordinary things. This song is undoubtedly inspiring for those facing struggles and challenges. But we all go through those moments. But it's good that you wrote and music, and allowed us to be part of that. Thank you!
God bless you and your family Luke. You have inspired me so much! Keep hoping and we'll keep praying for you! We love you and hope and pray that you will get better.
SO thankful you share. Been through the same thing with my husband. He is still here with me thankfully but life has changed drastically in three months he went from fully fit active guy to very weak and using a wheelchair... Like you we don't know if we have tomorrow... But God is there and one step at a time He get my husband, my three kids and I through the day. Love love love your song! Thank you! It is hard to find people who understand what we have been through and to a point are still going through... Thanks you and God bless you both and your families.
This is a great story, obviously I cry a lot with it. Let God give you the strength to keep going and blessing every soul listen to your music. See you in Night of Joy!
I know the hurt and pain.... I lost my father..my hero in 1999.... I was just 18.... Then I lost my best friend , my high school sweetheart back in 2010.... due to cancer he fought for two years and we have three sons.. when he passed away I felt all of me left with him and my faith. I am married again now and will never forget the experience I have went through and am I stronger now? I want to Believe I am ...I want to believe so...since then I have remarried and been through more trials and hurt in my life. With my new husband we have lost a little girl last year in August 2016. My Faith is shaken and now I have a hard time trusting in the Almighty God. I'm a state where I'm trying to rebuild my faith and trust in God. Please pray for me to get to a place where I can trust the creator and have a unbreakable relationship with him.

The first time I heard this song I broke down and cried. I have a similar story. I was very sick and undiagnosed for almost 9 months, I did not improve and did not know what was happening. My husband was so afraid of losing me, of being alone and he was angry with the doctors who treated me, it was a terrible moment. Only God gave me the strength to fight, he saved me and he healed me. I appreciate what happened to me because I always felt the hand of God taking care of me. Now I am totally healthy.
Thank you for penning this although under unfortunate circumstances. God is using it for His greater good, and as your marriage strengthens, so does many relationships around the globe through the words you speak so eloquently that we find so hard to muster up to describe how we feel in relation to our loved one. First time of watching the video tonight, and like the song itself, I find myself wrecked once again. So candid and yet powerfully raw. It is through our vulnerability that we can touch another heart... Praying over your health, your marriage & family and your ministry especially through your music. Thank you for being willing to be used
Went to their free concert they gave last night in Houston tx.. Awesome show!! Loved every single moment.. Met Joel and he's an amazingly sweet man.. Bought their new CD and and it's autographed!! =) love you For King & Country!! Prayers for you to get better Luke!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful, heart wrenching song with us. My husband and I have walked some very difficult roads, not as hard as yours but still difficult roads. This song reminds me of the promises that God has given to us in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We don't know how many days we are given in this world, and we don't know the walk that the Lord has for us, but we do know that there is a purpose for it. God's purpose for you, while you are still battling this sickness, may be nothing more, than to be a voice for those that don't have a voice, or don't know how to verbalize what they are going through. Thank you, and you will be in my hearts and prayers daily.
I was at their concert on September 14 in Nashville and he sand this song. Afterward he told the crowd that he had lost about 125 pounds during this digestive sickness he had
I got a phone call 3 years ago last week that I had tested positive for cancer and that I had to meet with the cancer Dr at the VA the next day, the necktie 3 days I had my 1st 3 chemotherapy sessions. At my 1st chemotherapy session I had a conversation with my parents nobody showed ever have. Two things where I wanted my funeral to be and where I wanted to be buried. Nobody should ever have that conversation with their parents. I’ve not only survived cancer, but a stroke and a blood bacteria too. I know I’m only alive by the grace of God. I should be pushing up daises right now. We need to thank God for everything in our lives, everything, everything we can do, everything we have, and everyone is our lives. Because everyday is a gift from God. And everything too. Everything can be taken away in a split second. Even our lives can end in a split second. We are never promised tomorrow. Everything you can do can be taken away in a heartbeat. You can have a stroke in the wrong place at a bad time and you can go from doing everything yourself to be taken care of 24/7/365. And live like that the rest of your life. So put your faith and trust in God for everything and thank Him for everything.
this song has completely just killed me. we found out earlier this week that my mama may have cancer. we haven't had any tests done yet, but she did have a ct scan done at the er and the doctor said there was a very suspicious looking mass on her kidney, and then asked if there was a history of kidney cancer in our family, and that she needed to get a biopsy done as soon as possible. So my family is extremely worried about it. And my mama actually asked me to stay at home with my step daddy and my 4 little sisters if something happened to her. And it just kills me to see my mama like this and to worry like this. this song really just tears at the heart strings.
Beautiful song. I lost my husband to cancer. I didn’t want to live without him but I kept believing he would be healed and a month before he passed he accepted the Lord. To me that was his healing. I knew that we will see other again. 💕
Patti when you get the phone call informing you that you have the big C word you life is turned upside down. When I got that phone call my 1st thought was that the were joking or got the wrong person. But within a few minutes of continuing to talk to them I realized that they weren’t kidding. My 2nd thought was “OK God, how do we get through this together?” I put my faith in God that I was going to survive. At the time I didn’t have a wife to miss me if I died, still don’t. But I knew by the grace of God I was going to survive. And I have.
I cried at the video now I'm weeping at this. Praise the Lord for his salvation.
In your grieving may you be comforted anew
Luke and Courtney’s song came to me in the autumn of 2014, just as we began to realize I was very sick. Not having my own words to express what it was doing to me emotionally and spiritually, these lyrics were how I communicated what I was going through, and how I asked for help.

Very grateful for people like them who share their stories in the midst of it. For me it made all the difference.
I love his realness about his own life and his family.
my husband was one of those that did not get better - five years later I listen to this song often and cry
I'm SO sorry to hear about this, but i, even now will continue to pray for you! GOD HAS MADE A MIRACLE HAPPEN IN YOU LUKE! Good Bless you! MUCH LOVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS! AMEN! :) Made me cry, i will continue to praise The Lord and pray you make a full recovery, it's 2022 and your new albums are great! CONTINUED PRAYERS!
I love how Kourtney says "I don't want to LIVE without you", and Luke says "I don't want to LEAVE without you". This seriously almost brings me to tears. And it should.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Yael Jacob Instablaster :)
I never noticed that
It brought me to tears as well! MUCH LOVE! :)
Thank you Lord for your healing hand on Luke, hallelujah, Glory be to God 🙏🏻💖
Just stumbled accross this video. Just made me cry. I am a new fan of just a few weeks ago. I was not familiar with you and your music (where have I been?) Lost my husband of 35 years it will be 2 years on 1/7/2024. This song and your music in general have been such a profound blessing to me. One of my favorite songs of yours is Joy. I choose joy and hope and I have faith in this life and the next. May God bless you abundantly. You are anointed!
I absolutely love For King & Country and this song only solidifies my respect for their talent and passion for Christ. I sent this to my husband. In 2013, at only 27 years old, my husband had to watch me struggle for life for three months in the ICU begging for me to be able to breathe and come out of the coma and off of life support. I can't imagine what he went through watching his wife suffer and just crying to God to save me. I so admire his strength and passion and love for me. God sent me an angel on Earth when he brought him into my life. A year and a half later, we just celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary and I hope we have many more. To God be the glory!
Tiffany, God touches all His Children and holds them in His arms. I’m so happy to read you celebrated your 6th wedding anniversary 4 yrs ago. May Our Lord continue to bless and keep you and your family wrapped in His arms.
When I heard you sing this song during your concert on June 28th in Fort Worth, Texas, I broke down and cried. A dear girl sitting next to me reached over and held my hand as the tears fell.

I haven't finished grieving and this song is helping me, as painful as it is. We enjoyed each moment, each minute, and thanked God for each memory. I miss my husband dearly and desperately. Not many songs touch the heart so deeply as this one. Truthfully, no one knows how much time we each have left here on earth.Thank you for your openness and honesty in writing it.

Hi Patricia,
I just read your post and was wanting to know how you are doing?
Hello Debra Lilies. Thank you for asking. I am doing better than two years ago. I will always miss my dear husband, however, God is giving me the courage to learn new skills and meet new friends. I joined the senior center when I turned 50 and a wonderful woman adopted me into her family. "MeMaw" had also lost her husband and we have bonded. I needed some one to weep with me, and she does. A bible verse says that God places the lonely in families and I feel like He has done that for me. I look forward to seeing For King and Country in Arlington Tx in December. And continue to pray for their health and success.

Thank you so much for your kindness!
Patricia Pratt I'm grateful that I was able to be kind to you! I have remembered to pray for you! :D
King and country am not sure if yous will ever see this comment but my mom is dying from cancer she has 2days to live. I want to thank yous for writing this song it helps me getting thought it 🙏🥀 thank you and God bless yous all.
“If this illness was to ever take me it would take me as a very hopeful man.” Wow.
seeing people stay faithful thru their sickness, it is inspiring! fight the Good fight!
I just love Luke's spirit. So very sincere. He's not afraid to share his feelings. I am an October person as well. We feel and love so hard. I pray that God will send that kind of man into my life so that we can love each other the way Luke and Courtney's love each other. Someone that I can say to; "I can't live without you and even I don't want to live without you. God is first however and I am second. Still waiting patiently.💞
So powerful, so honest and pure. I am moved and touched. I pray for Luke's complete and total healing. I can't hold back my tears. LOVE IS SUCH A WONDERFUL EMOTION. Can't you all sense these 2 mens love for their ways. Again, I pray that God will send me a relationship like that. I need it and want it. I know "With God all things are possible." Can I get an Amen?😇👫
The love that Joel shows for Luke is touching.
I always believed my husband would be healed. But a few weeks he passed he accepted the Lord. That was his healing. Internal life. Praise God. Love the song 💕.
Beautiful!!! Dear God, I come 2 u asking that u will heal Luke from whatever is attacking his body. Lord, you said in Ur word that Jesus your only son went on the cross and died for us. Meaning, He died for us to be healed. So Lord I'm sending up this prayer that u will touch every part of his body and heal him. Also Lord, heal his mind if there is some unbelief in there. Let his faith take over where there maybe some doubt, just because the doctors dont know what is causing it. Lord, help him to receive Ur healing and believe that you are not finish with him yet. Let him know that you have so much on earth for him to do. Give his wife that same courage, and strength. Lord, also touch the rest of his family and protect them and help them to remove anything that may be hinder his healing. Give them strength to know that it's not over and that its more to come. You said in your word if 1 or 2 agree and believe that its done. In Jesus Name Amen...
Has IBD, which in simple terms either Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis. Crohns is the more serious of the two affecting all digestive systems for mouth to anus (sorryTMI). My grandmother died at 71 of complications from it and I was diagnosed 9 yrs ago with severe case. I still suffer everyday with it, the arthritis is so bad from it that at my age 34, I can't give my daughter a bath or hold a pen sometimes. However the plus side is altho I am a skinny lil thing, the clinical trial I, in has kept me from being hospitalized recently. And I give God all the praise❤️🙌
Amen ! You're amazing ! Thank you Lord for hearts like yours Sonia ❤️
You are awsome that was the best prayer I have ever heard
Your prayer is so honest that made me think of how I've been trying to run away from my church, my faith, and my family. Tonight I'll make a prayer for you because somehow you just became an angel for me. Thanks.
Amen yes we need to keep Luke and the family in prayer always
Thank you for sharing your heart with us. "Because of His great love for us, we are not consumed...His mercies are new every morning." Great is His faithfulness." That's my prayer for you, Luke.
I have cancer its stage three and I will win Amen! I remember having a discussion and I made the mastake of saying no matter what happens I will always be alive. To my wife I was saying im going to die. She stopped me and said your not going to leave me and you better not give up and fight this. We both were crying that day because no matter how tough you men think you are to see your life partner in despair is the most awakening to your soul. I can relate.
Joseph, may the Lord give you and your wife strength and heal your body from this awful sickness!!
I hope you are doing better
joseph serna
Hi Joesph how are you?? Praying healing over your body in Jesus name I pray Amen🙏
joseph serna How are you now? May the Lord bless you!

knot in my throat...love it...Glory to God that all is well...even when it's not...all is well...God is in control...
Courtney sings amazing! I love her voice! God bless you, Luke!
I found this song 6yrs ago, my husband went thru pretty much the same thing as Luke; took him a few years to get better & for a while there I thought I was going to be a young widow. We just celebrated our anniversary! Listening to it makes me realize how far God carries us all thru this! I’m glad we made it to the other side & love lasts!!
Wow this song gives me flashbacks on what I was going through when I was 16 doctors had no hope in me.i was going to die and I was very weak as well but I new God was going to heal me from getting cancer and lukimiia both and the same time and I kept my faith I didn't believe in what the doctor's told me and today I'm 18 about to turn 19 and God healed me when I was still 16 I am the living testimony that God still does great miracles
+abigail cabrera God bless and praise to the Lord!
@Darius

Gosh, I can feel the tears coming. This is such a beautiful song :') Luke and Courtney's voices sound perfect together.
Oh my heart....how incredibly painful and beautiful this is....prayers...always!
I know right! Oh Luke. Such manly men it's hard to him cry. God bless them. This song is amazing.
Esses dois irmãos são benção de Deus! Glória a Deus 🙌!🙏 Essas famílias que Deus Pai continue abençoando e fortalecendo eles dois na fé sempre!

I think you are such a beautiful family and beautiful couple. Your testimony will help so many people who are struggling right now. May God pour His love and blessings upon your family.
I too have IBD and my niece has crohns. It's a terrible disease. I know your pain and your suffering. Aloe juice is the best to put it in remission. I been suffering from it for years. God Bless you Luke and thankyou for sharing.
Beautiful testimony....God is so AWESOME!

I first saw for King and Country live at Winterjam in January of 2016. I had liked a few of their songs for a while, but had never really listened to most of their other music. After Winterjam, I felt this great connection to this band because of what they stood for. I'd never heard any men speak of women in the light that they do. God wanted me to hear that I am priceless and deserve to be treated as such, but he also had a much greater plan.
I had been struggling with digestive issues for about 5 years, and had gotten so fed up with constantly being sick that I broke down and saw a doctor. I didn't want to live being how sick I was. It wasn't life. On March 31, 2016, after many tests, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I broke down crying and said sorry to my mom, even though I have no control over this illness. Throughout these past 9 months, I've had many more tests and have been put on many new medications. As of two weeks ago, my Crohn's disease is officially in remission.
Listening to your music has really helped me through this past year, and I am honestly so grateful for it. Looking back, I think God connected me with this band because he knew exactly what I was going to need. He knew that once I got my diagnosis, I was going to need something to connect to to show me that I am not alone in my fight, and that's why he showed me you.
I know you probably won't see this, but I hope someone who does see this takes away this from it. You're going to be faced with challenges that you aren't going to have any control over, but God knows everything you need and ever will need, and he will provide. Never forget that.
A few months ago I listen to your band and when I heard this song i cried, my father has cancer, it has been about 1 and half year with that illness, it has been hard to my family, and listening the song, i thought in my mother. i remember one day before the surgery, we were crying and praying for my dad's health, and after watching my dad so thin, my mother suffering for my dad's illness, and watching him weak and crying because he can't be strong now in front of us, and yes, we are not ready to live withouth him , we'll keep praying for my dad, and having faith that God will bring us the miracle, so let's dance a little, laugh a little, hope a little more...
Hermosa canción, Luke, me encanta esta canción, el SEÑOR JESUCRISTO BENDIGA, A tu familia, los amo mucho chicos, saludos y bendiciones desde Ciudad Juárez Chihuahua México 🇲🇽,.
I literally have watched his story over 50 times not kidding and I still cry every time I hear the song and watch this vid
Joel & Luke, you guys are amazing. Luke, your Courage is Very Inspiring & Joel the love you have for your Brother is AMAZING!!!!
I’ve enjoyed your music for a long time and back in September 2019 not even a month after my husband passed away from lymphoma this song came on. I had my music shuffling. I had heard it many times before but never really listened. I played it again and just wept. I said that to my husband-I didn’t want to do this life without him. What a beautiful song. Yes, the reality makes you appreciate every moment together. Thank you for sharing. In my grief I listen, remember & weep!❤️💔 Blessings to you all!
I feel this on a personal level, my soon to be husband has hodgkins lymphoma .. stage 4.. and that my greatest fear...
i could see how these both handsome guys love their wives.. ♥♥
JoanaPongasiVlog their bonds are very strong
So beautiful and so powerful.
Thank y'all for being such a good and sweet example of faith and God's love!!!
Such a Beautiful Song and a Precious video
Brings me to tears everytime I hear it
I love you FK&C! You give hope to a lot of people
These are the reasons why I love this group.
i love your song Without You, Luke, i keep on playing it over and over and i don't get tired of it. Actually, i love all your songs and your music, worth buying your CD. please keep on making songs that is inspiring, gives hope and glorifying Jesus. God bless you both, your group and your family.

I wanted to thank you for sharing this very personal and very touching story; we saw you play in The Woodlands Nov 2013, myself, my husband and our 11 yr old son ALL enjoyed your show immensely - your music knows no age boundaries, we all LOVE it and appreciate you individually so much, I pray for your 100% healing ♥♥ .. When any of your songs come on The Message station or KSBJ, it's a given that whomever is closest to volume knob to crank it up and we sing, my kid plays air drums or usually he has his sticks that he bought at your concert and plays the back of the seat. God bless you.
this song is so beautiful & it tears me up every time
Luke, my brother in Christ, my heart is with you and Courtney on this one. It's like you wrote this for me and my husband. I have battled with health issues since I was 15 and I am now 42...that's a LONG time. To this day, the doctors still can't say definitively what ails me. I was diagnosed with an aortic murmur, irregular heartbeat and prolapsed mitral valve in my teens, but was healed from in my adult years. I spent the spring semester of my sophomore year in high school at home because the medicine was so awful. They do know that I have PCOS and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which is in the autoimmune disease category. They cannot say what is causing that or the joint inflammation. God is in control and HE gives me the strength to get up every day and work. In HIS infinite wisdom, I have a husband who has a servants heart and takes care of our boys and our home. He was laid off right before 9/11 and has stayed home with our boys all this time. We have major role reversal, but I believe God has us walking this path for a reason and we will obey HIM and sit back and watch the show!
What I do know, is that God has been with me all this time and I know that HE has used my story to help others, just as I know HE will use your story. Keep strong! Your family in Christ is at the alter praying for you so rest in that knowledge.
The first chapter of James, which I memorized while courting my husband, has been a huge comfort to me during this battle. God knew I would need it so HE put that desire in my heart to memorize it. How COOL is HE!!
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Well... just gonna go and cry in a corner now... bless you for all you've gone through. I know that's thought of a lot of times as just "Christian talk" but I really do believe that God has blessed you so much because you endured all of this and did it with grace and with hope when it was hardest.
I am choreographing a dance to a duet to this song, with a girl in my church and I am trying to find the centerpiece to it. And I found something in this video it’s the emotion and strength onto each other because we are each God masterpieces.
I cry everything I hear the song
Me and my sister are huge fans. we both memorized all your songs including the Christmas song "GLORIOUS"
We live in Wichita, Kansas and we go Winter Jam every year. 2014-15 was our favorite because of you... my friend doesn't like Christian music except for yours. We love you guys.
by the way, we also went to your concert on your recent tour... we brought our friend and she and I were really hoping for Luke to bring out Courtney. We also wanted his autograph but we heard your son was there. Family before fame.
Such a truly touching video and song....... I am humbled by your honesty and courage! Thank you for reminding me to be thankful for my many blessings from our amazing Lord Jesus each and every minute of each and every day.
My sentiments exactly. God bless you.
Thank God you got better! God bless you for king and country!
I’ve found the same comfort in Our Lord’s arms and I walk His chosen path by His light. He brought me out of darkness that I had been stumbling in and had lost my to him, but He heard my fervent prayer! He brought my husband and I together and has TRULY and Miraculously lead our lives in His light, on His path! It’s all in His perfect timing!!!
It is these experiences that give me hope and help me to believe more and more in God and believe that He uses you and your experiences to impacting the hearts of people worldwide! Mto God bless you always, and thank the Lord for delivering the Luke and thank you for sharing this moment! Know that God moved me through their music and their experiences heart, thank you for that! God bless you all so much!
Hi, this interview and song hit home with me, I was originally diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, fortunately it hit me while in high school, I wasn't married yet. I lost 55 lbs in the first month, and like you, there is nothing you can do but lay there and hurt. I took all kinds of medication, the only thing that half-way worked was prednisone, had colon removed when I was 19. A couple years later, I had to have stomach surgery, a year later, another stomach surgery. Then they diagnosed me with Crohn's. The song really captures that feeling I had when meds did't work, I couldn't move, just hurt, it felt like someone dragging a rake through my guts, it was terrible. Since then, God has blessed me with a lovely wife and 2 beautiful girls that are almost grown. I still take infusions, in fact I have one today, it keeps my crohn's at bay. Thank you for writing a song for those of us that have gone through, or going through tough times, it's good to know we are not alone in this journey, and thank's to Courtney for singing and telling her side of the story too.
BLESS THEAR HEARTS IM PRYING FOR YOU GUYS AGAIN I SHARD MY STORY THIS MORNING BECUSE MY SON WAS GOING THE SAME THING WE HAVE A NEW DOG NOW AND SHE LOVES YOU GUYS SO MUCH THE GOD IS HEALING YOU ALL THAT LADY SED I LOVE COURTEY WAS SAYING TO HER HUSBEND I DON,T WHAT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU AND LUKE SED I DON,T WHAT TO LEAVE WITHOUT YOU THAT MADE ME TEAR UP

This song is so relatable to me and so personal I fell in love with it the first time I heard it on the radio.
this song is so emotional. I love it.
I cried so much when I watched it... Then after the video was over, I still couldn't stop crying....
Sidney Bonestroo wow so many positive comments:)
literally, I cry every time...
Lol exactly the same here
God is for you,Not against you. Jesus heals , Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. God bless for king and country
Praying for you and your beautiful family.
God made us incredible people because, in the most difficult moments of our lives, we manage to do extraordinary things. This song is undoubtedly inspiring for those facing struggles and challenges. But we all go through those moments. But it's good that you wrote and music, and allowed us to be part of that. Thank you!
I am an anointed prayer warrior and I am praying for you Luke, God bless you.
God bless you and your family Luke. You have inspired me so much! Keep hoping and we'll keep praying for you! We love you and hope and pray that you will get better.
SO thankful you share. Been through the same thing with my husband. He is still here with me thankfully but life has changed drastically in three months he went from fully fit active guy to very weak and using a wheelchair... Like you we don't know if we have tomorrow... But God is there and one step at a time He get my husband, my three kids and I through the day. Love love love your song! Thank you! It is hard to find people who understand what we have been through and to a point are still going through... Thanks you and God bless you both and your families.
This is a great story, obviously I cry a lot with it. Let God give you the strength to keep going and blessing every soul listen to your music. See you in Night of Joy!
I know the hurt and pain.... I lost my father..my hero in 1999.... I was just 18.... Then I lost my best friend , my high school sweetheart back in 2010.... due to cancer he fought for two years and we have three sons.. when he passed away I felt all of me left with him and my faith. I am married again now and will never forget the experience I have went through and am I stronger now? I want to Believe I am ...I want to believe so...since then I have remarried and been through more trials and hurt in my life. With my new husband we have lost a little girl last year in August 2016. My Faith is shaken and now I have a hard time trusting in the Almighty God. I'm a state where I'm trying to rebuild my faith and trust in God. Please pray for me to get to a place where I can trust the creator and have a unbreakable relationship with him.

wonderfull!!Dear God..I wish by this song will heals marriage couples....and family...
The first time I heard this song I broke down and cried. I have a similar story. I was very sick and undiagnosed for almost 9 months, I did not improve and did not know what was happening. My husband was so afraid of losing me, of being alone and he was angry with the doctors who treated me, it was a terrible moment. Only God gave me the strength to fight, he saved me and he healed me. I appreciate what happened to me because I always felt the hand of God taking care of me. Now I am totally healthy.
I am glad you are still with us luke and also joel you and your band are the best love you all
I can relate so much, i've been sick and in pain for 2 years, i went through alot and still goes on, i totally relate to this song....
I just have to say to Joel you are an amazing brother God bless you.
They are truly amazing.
Thank you for penning this although under unfortunate circumstances. God is using it for His greater good, and as your marriage strengthens, so does many relationships around the globe through the words you speak so eloquently that we find so hard to muster up to describe how we feel in relation to our loved one. First time of watching the video tonight, and like the song itself, I find myself wrecked once again. So candid and yet powerfully raw. It is through our vulnerability that we can touch another heart... Praying over your health, your marriage & family and your ministry especially through your music. Thank you for being willing to be used
I can't stop crying everytime I hear this song
My God is the God of the impossible
His wife can beautiful singing!!
Went to their free concert they gave last night in Houston tx.. Awesome show!! Loved every single moment.. Met Joel and he's an amazingly sweet man.. Bought their new CD and and it's autographed!! =) love you For King & Country!! Prayers for you to get better Luke!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful, heart wrenching song with us. My husband and I have walked some very difficult roads, not as hard as yours but still difficult roads. This song reminds me of the promises that God has given to us in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." We don't know how many days we are given in this world, and we don't know the walk that the Lord has for us, but we do know that there is a purpose for it. God's purpose for you, while you are still battling this sickness, may be nothing more, than to be a voice for those that don't have a voice, or don't know how to verbalize what they are going through.
Thank you, and you will be in my hearts and prayers daily.
This has to be the best band there ever was. ♡ Can't wait to see you guys at the Appalachian Fair!! (:
You guys r so amazing! I almost cried watching this! God bless you guys!!! Have a blessed day! ~Lici
I love all of yours songs I sing to them and listen to them a lot I don't need the words
Thank you so much for sharing your story and for writing such an impactful song
This song makes me want to cry
Gonna pray too!! THANK YOU for having the guts to share this and sing it!
Love this song❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this so much ❤️💞❣️
I cried through this whole video
I was at their concert on September 14 in Nashville and he sand this song. Afterward he told the crowd that he had lost about 125 pounds during this digestive sickness he had
I got a phone call 3 years ago last week that I had tested positive for cancer and that I had to meet with the cancer Dr at the VA the next day, the necktie 3 days I had my 1st 3 chemotherapy sessions. At my 1st chemotherapy session I had a conversation with my parents nobody showed ever have. Two things where I wanted my funeral to be and where I wanted to be buried. Nobody should ever have that conversation with their parents. I’ve not only survived cancer, but a stroke and a blood bacteria too. I know I’m only alive by the grace of God. I should be pushing up daises right now. We need to thank God for everything in our lives, everything, everything we can do, everything we have, and everyone is our lives. Because everyday is a gift from God. And everything too. Everything can be taken away in a split second. Even our lives can end in a split second. We are never promised tomorrow. Everything you can do can be taken away in a heartbeat. You can have a stroke in the wrong place at a bad time and you can go from doing everything yourself to be taken care of 24/7/365. And live like that the rest of your life. So put your faith and trust in God for everything and thank Him for everything.
I meant to write, the next 3 days, not the. necktie 3 days. The
this song has completely just killed me. we found out earlier this week that my mama may have cancer. we haven't had any tests done yet, but she did have a ct scan done at the er and the doctor said there was a very suspicious looking mass on her kidney, and then asked if there was a history of kidney cancer in our family, and that she needed to get a biopsy done as soon as possible. So my family is extremely worried about it. And my mama actually asked me to stay at home with my step daddy and my 4 little sisters if something happened to her. And it just kills me to see my mama like this and to worry like this. this song really just tears at the heart strings.
Well that made me cry...
