- All things Levi The Poet here: www.levithepoet.net
In some ways, it is a tale of the coming of age. A series of memories and the time that was and is no more. In other ways, it is the hope of a time to come. Time redeemed.
Throughout the years, I have done a marvelous job of exemplifying suffering, and I would like to better exemplify celebration. It is good and fine to be real and honest with one another. I have always been an advocate for transparency, especially in a world where we can hardly differentiate between what is an excellently colored mask worn in public, and the true pigment of our fellow man. That extends beyond the walls of the church and "Christian culture". Pain is real. Universal. We are weathered beneath its weight.
More real than suffering is our Suffering Servant, our reason for rejoicing in the midst of our entropy. Praise be to God for his son, Jesus Christ, who has defeated sin and death, Satan, his works and effects, at the tree on Golgatha.
If we build a house together, let its foundation not only be the sympathy we have for one another as broken people, but constructed with the wood of that gory cross, predicated upon the grace of Christ's selfless, celebratory sacrifice, that which makes broken people whole.
If I have any reason to sing, it is by the grace of Jesus. If I have any reason to celebrate, it is by the grace of Jesus. If I have any reason to dance, it is by the grace of Jesus. May the hope of the cross be a catalyst for your joy.
Praise be his name. Jesus Christ is alive.

Thanks for the responses and encouragement, guys. Please keep sharing this video and spreading the word!
Levi, I hope you personally read these comments. I just wanted to stop by on here and tell you how much your words and your work have changed my life for the better. Whenever I doubt God, I turn to your work and I see how he is using you to reach out and spread the gospel in such a creative and unique way.
awesome.
no words can explain how amazing this guy is.
The fact that you like Levi the Poet makes you like two billion times cooler.
Fucckk I just saw this are you kidding
My favorite line of the piece was "Everytime I stand and give my testimony to a crowd, I will lie awake that night wondering if I told the truth"
I almost feel the piece was written for this line, and the poem is a duel between this line and letting go of a hope in self/ asking for Help
Bro. I know I’m 4 years late. I’ve listened to this at least 100 times and this is my first time reading the comments. I was listening to it as soon as he said it
Listening to this man takes my breath away. Literally. I'm out of breath and I don't know why.
Keep doing what you're doing, Levi.
Somebody will love it because it's honest and somebody will hate it because it's crude
This poem exemplifies everything I've been thinking about over the last few days... Thank you so much Levi, you truly have been sent by the Lord. I'm so glad I saw you at Parachute music festival 3-4 years ago... You have helped me pull though some tough times, and will continue to do so. Thank you, and thank the Lord
i love you Levi, God bless you abundantly in the name of Jesus Christ
10 years later, I still listen and remember as if it was yesterday. My father first played this for me when I was 10. I had just gotten addicted to pornography. This made no sense to me at the time, but looking back now, free of that sin and addiction, Levi here did such an amazing time wrapping in the hurt and truth of what pornography really is. Thank you Levi, 10 years later, for your work.
I stumbled across this guy because he did a song with In the Midst of Lions (Christian deathcore band - song was Defiance if you're interested). Loved his contribution to that, so checked him out and was not disappointed. First spoken word poet I've ever really gotten into, this man speaks the truth. Love it.
i love it not because its honest or crude but because i know you love the lord and you still have faith in his death, burial and resurrection. and that moves me to tears.
I got to see you do this in person and man I gatta say I love you my brother. Your one of the best most powerful inspirations to us who need it. Can't thank you enough man. Jesus is present in all things positive and your words carry his spirit. Always use your gifts for good. Your epic and your wise. Always remain Strong. In all things, remain like the Bolder against the ever flowing water of oppression this world brings. One day, we WILL be home with our father.
I love his voice so much!
I've watched this countless times and every time it gets me ;(. Don't ever stop what you are doing! You truly are anointed!
I feel a lot of people can relate because we all have resentment and darkness in our hearts. We try are hardest to accomplish things, but sometimes we feel like we can’t do it. I love how way this was filmed and how the poem is so raw.
I cannot get enough of this. I always find myself coming back to it and just loving it. Thank you.
I can't stop listening to this. Absolutely beautiful.
This got me through my earlier years of high school. Now that I'm nearing the end of my college career, I've been revisiting old media and seeing how the message influenced me then vs now. It's crazy how I feel so different, yet the power speaks the same. It's bittersweet. It reminds me that I've gotten through this before, but suggests that I'll fall to it again.
I need to think.
You were so amazing I am so happy I seized the opportunity to hear you recite! Thank you for the advice and thank you for your time Levi!
Heart of gold.💛
Still listening to you till this day, much love Levi.💜
Oh my word. Ive been listening for a few months now. your art has dislodged something in me. And this is probably the rawest Ive ever seen you do so far... Brought me to tears.
This is so deeply moving. I so appreciate the care in how this was put together. It is so tastefully done. Thank you for you passion and thank the Lord for your talent.
I've listened so many times...and this time with tears stricken down my face. It has hit me with full force, how low I can go on my own.
God bless you bro. This always brings me to tears. It's amazing to see people publicly share about their faith and what they stand for.. Bless you bro!
This is absolutely incredible. I've probably watched it a dozen times in the last week, and bought the CD. Thanks for what you do!
God bless, thank you so much. you've helped me a lot levi.
Levi is AWESOME! Great poet.........emotional too
I can't stop watching this.
I've came back to this video every year for yearsssss
Wow! This was very powerful. Thank you for sharing your voice.
Oh my goodness gracious. This is absolute gold.
Seriously almost makes me cry every time, if not cry.
Levi, you absolutly take my breath away... Your words speak so much truth. Thank you for doing what you do. I really do appreciate your work.
These videos always leave me spechless. They really make me think. I need to see you live asap.
Levi is one of the best poets i know, I love his words that he speaks, and I can just feel the emotion in his voice. I really hope to see you soon somewhere.
you are amazing, this is honest and crude, and simply beautiful
All of your poems make me think about my life. and your poems in a way resemble my life and also help me. thank you.
Such a powerful video. I feel conviction in my soul.
I have never had a video move me to tears. I can't say that any more
I can't think you enough for this video... It has made me think so much about my life and what I'm doing for Christ.
I love you, Levi. Thank you so much for this. God has his hand on your life, I know it's hard to feel sometimes but He loves you so much. You make Him more alive to me in what I'm going through right now. Thank you.
This carries a crazy amount of emotion… unreal!!❤️❤️❤️
Saw you at parachute. That night in the deluxe was really powerful man. Just sat in silence the whole time. Thanks heaps for what your doing. Thought provoking and powerful! Good on you.
Thank you. Thank you for using your gift to speak blatant truth into others lives--into my life.
Seeing him live is amazing and heart twisting guys. If you ever get the chance, try to.
this is my favorite out of all of yours
no words to explain how amazing you are
poems like these keep me alive
Hommie!!!!!! Levi, keep spilling your guts out. youre amazing i cant help but shake my head everytime i hear you!
found some of your CDs moving stuff out of my bedroom and just had to come back and enjoy this again. your work got me through a ton bro, thanks for being true and so passion filled.
Wow... thanks so much for reaching out to tell me this! It means a lot to me. I love feeling like the folks who jam my work are also people growing up with me, figuring it all out. I'm so grateful for your kindness. Hopefully we're not done! Haha. Much love.
I cried. Praise Jesus.
I love you so much, Levi! Your poems are so inspiring. It was so good seeing you this past Tuesday! Hope to see you again soon!
you are so good at writing. once i start listening to you i cant stop. you're so amazing, i wish had gotten my head out of my arse and went to watch you for longer at parachute but of course my friends pulled me away. Please be at parachute next year! i want to see you preform , you make me view life completely differently
Thank you so much for this levi. It means more than you know.
Levi thank you for being you.
Oh Jeezz. So much power coming from his lips. Thank you Jesus
very thankful that Wolves At The Gate did a song with Levi. his work is my favorite.
Jenna Gibson really? which song?
it was To Speak of Wolves
Amazing work Levi. Your lyrics help me word my prayers when I struggle for the words to say. Thank you brother!
my friend just showed me this. I don't know if I should applaud you or shiver. Powerful.
one of my many albums in the discography of my journey through sobriety. Thank you Levi.
That's it, I'm getting
"I will defeat death so that you will know that death is not the end."
tattooed on my arm.
Breathtaking and just so amazing at how well God speaks through you; so thank God that he's using you to change lives and awaken the minds of those who have "confused" engraved upon their foreheads. I know God just answered a question I never had, but always wandered around and I'd like to "thank you for sharing in that memory with me"; for making my walk on the beach a cloud of assurance that woke me up from my disappointment. Thank you, Sir Levi; God bless you and your family!
Absolutely lovely. So grateful for artists like Levi who are keepin it real. Also, props to everyone involved in filming this. I can't watch it enough times.
God spoke to me so clearly through this poem. Levi you have a wonderful gift and based on what your poems say, I'm right there with you. I met you at Ichthus Festival in Wilmore Kentucky this past year. God has truly used you as his mouthpiece. Keep working for the King! God bless!
Still my Favorite! Thanks!
Levi, man, god has given you the gift of expression through words. So good.
Levi, you're truly an amazing man with an amazing gift. I'm glad to have met you and spoken to you. I know our God has great things in store for you bro. Come back to Kissimmee again, I know some people from my church that'd like to talk to you. God Bless You.
This always gets to me. I always bawl so hard at this. 💕
This is so beautiful.
this is my favorite poem... I read it in school today for a poetry project. Great work... I listen to it almost every day. It's an amazing reminder and great encouragement. I love this.
this is everything i ever wanted to listen to i can't breathe right now im too happy
I have such a hard time listening to your poetry without internally screaming for God's forgiveness. You're such an inspiration to me, and your inspiring me to write things for my own. Gracias brother.
Man what i would not give to have your talent as a poet. Your words seem so delicate even as they are said in seeming to be an endless pain. Your talented and far more then that. Amazing job.
I can't even describe how much I relate to this. Resentment towards the growing pains that come along with loving a God that demands to consume all of us for His glory. The church never addresses how following God can hurt. Thank you. It's nice to know I'm not alone in my feelings toward God at the moment.
I totally forgot about Levi, I’m so excited I found him again, I’m getting so much nostalgia from this video
I've been struggling with accepting Christ for almost 12 years now and part of me trying to fight toward salvation was your poetry, thank you so much levi, you are truly amazing and an inspiration.
My God this is amazing.
one of my favorites
I don't usually like listening to anything that has to do with Jesus, or church, or god. But your words like hypnotized me.
This is truly wonderful. I love this piece and you are a magnificent reflection of how we should start living for Christ.
This was absolutely perfect.
Authentic man. Thanks for being real.
This.this was so beautiful , it actually made me tear up.
I needed this
I always come back to this video; If I need a reminder, if I fall, or if a friend of mine needs encouragement. At the Cross of Christ I know...
Dude, this was truly amazing, my friend showed it to me and i was speechless after it. keep up the amazing work because i will watch and share anything else you put up, it is soo awesome! God has given you an amazing gift, God bless you and what you are trying to do, once again, that was sooo awesome!!
Man. Your stuff makes me want to keep writing. Showing my poems makes me feel so exposed to others. But this is what keeps me writting I love everything you do man!
Thanks Paul.
I'm in absolute awe.
This is amazing Levi..
This is my FAVORITE piece by him!
This was the first piece I ever heard. And one of my favorites. I also really love A Time To Speak [And a Time To Keep Silent]
Wow!!!! So good and true randomly came across this video. Very gifted.
Amazing. I literally listened to this like 10 times yesterday.
Bro can I meet you? You seem awesome!
Gosh...I got all teary. Ha! Great job, Levi.
Words fail me when I try to explain how I feel about this, or what it means. Levi, I have been a fan since the first time I see you at Ichthus. I got chills and you made me cry. It was not only what you said, but it was the passion behind your words that got me. And now this one... It really hits me. So thank you for what you do!
The feelings that this guy brings up are indescribable.
I'll grieve with you bro. that moved me
Woah, it's been so long I had yo get re-accustomed to his style. But this was beautiful. I needed to hear this.
Six years later and its still affecting me. Literally like he was speaking to me. You're the reason I actually started writing, Levi. You're a true inspiration. Your words leave me breathless
❤️
Your poetry is beautiful.
Hi, Levi. I'm a poet myself - kinda. Got some gifting and passion for it, but lacking experience and time to write as much as I'd like.
Your videos help me write. I get caught in my own filter so often. I'm inclined to filter my heart into censored, kind, Christianly-politically-correct phrasings. Your videos help me kick the filter and just say it.
I just want to say that your videos help me believe I can do it. I thank God for your faith and gifting. It has been a blessing to me. Thanks, Levi.
Your Kaleidoscope poem so speaks of me I wish I could do this it made me cry cause I thought I was listening to my own thoughts.. And I have been listening to all your poems and you its just so powerful and perfect in my life!!!
