    I love this song. I saw it from Wikipedia that the story of this song takes place in Meghalaya North East India and I'm from that tribe. There is no more head hunters now, all the Garo people have accepted Jesus Christ. Thak you. God Bless.

    As I wipe tears from my eyes at the beauty of this video and the beauty of the message behind this song, not because people died but chose to live in Christ Jesus, I had the most vivid and glorious image of Jesus Christ standing before this man and his family. Never saw Jesus Christ so vividly before! He was bathed in dazzlingly bright and glorious light, wearing a red robe; and His arms were opened wide welcoming these dear souls home. It is coming soon where we too must choose. No regrets and no turning back! Jesus loves you! God bless you all!

    The Lord God brought this song up in my mind one early morning for prayer one week ago. Seeing your post is confirmation that Jesus, the Angels and Holy Hosts sing to us. I remember this song as a child. And now I hear it as an adult not a babe in Christ but a matured spirit. Praise God for you SoulJa of God.🙋

      Some years ago an old man who were part of our prayer group said something remarkable, which I willl never forget, and always put to the test. He said: If the preacher teaches on his sermon on Sunday something you read about during the week, know it is God who confirm through him. God is an awesome God who will always answer through other faithful believers. The Body of Christ Jesus will stand firm as we all are starting to take hands from where ever you are in the world.

    Absolutely no turning back. Can you imagine standing in front of the Lord at judgment and having to say, "sorry I couldn't die for you even though you did for me and I deserved it and you didn't?" In Isaiah 43:1-3 1 But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. 3 For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;" It seems to me that if we are called to be martyred for the Lord He will be with us and may possibly keep us from suffering too much. Also the Lord showed me that the Hebrew children that went into the furnace in Daniel knew this Isaiah scripture because it was about 140 years before that and they didn't get burned in the fire. Anyway, he died for me and no question I would die for Him! Shalom!
