I know the story! But I was the alcholic and drug addict. I put my children up for adoption because they deserved better than what i could give them at the time. 7 and a half years ago Jesus delivered me from both! Since then, 2 of my children have contacted me. It's all in Gods time!!! Thank you Jesus for all the blessings you bestow on me each and every day!!!
I'm so glad that you found Jesus and that he delivered you from addiction! I pray your other children contact you soon! 💚💚
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayer. It's awesome there's people out there that actually love one another. So much hell in this world, peace now, peace in heaven peace forever! God Bless honey!!!
Heal the trauma heal the addiction 🥰🥰🥰
Praise God. 🙏🙏❤❤
Skill issue
This was the story of my life, the only difference is, it doesn't even TOUCH the OTHER issues. My father did not kill my Mother, not physically anyway, & he taught me about God, Yet, right after he would molest us. I lost my virginity at the age of 11... then got kicked out and passed around as if (I) was the problem...yet I was, because at THAT POINT, i was completely rebellious & did not even care anymore. My heart and prayers go out to ANYONE having to deal with this type of pain or ANY pain stemming from childhood abuse. That is something that will stick with you FOREVER, until you LEARN how to MANAGE it! I am praying PEACE, LOVE, & LIGHT, TO ALL whom are effected by mental OR physical abuse. You are ALL in my prayers, even if i do not know your names, GOD knows WHO I am praying for each night when I send these prayers up. I love you all! Do not EVER let ANYONE steal your JOY! Reguardless of what happend to ME, I STILL BELIEVE in GOD!🤞 HiS MERCY is what brought not only ME, but MANY of YOU as well, through your hard times. Many are covered & protected, yet do NOT even KNOW it! But you better BELIEVE it!🤞🙏💖🙏
His mercy? You see when my mom was killed when I was 8 I didn't see any.
When my step mother was gripping me in the tub, where was his mercy? When she forced us to kneel in the corner and pray for salvation or when we were locked in the basement for days without food, where exactly was his mercy? When she slashed me with a knife in the garage or spread gossip to the relatives, ummm mercy? How about when I was locked outside in the winter with no winter clothing and 5 miles from town, I'm thinking it wasn't mercy I felt. When I was removed from home on a CHIPS petition, more mercy,? Mercy is for those who go on to have a great life.
I’m sorry for what you went through but it’s not gods fault we live in a very evil world with very wicked ppl that I promise you will for there sins. Myself included. Look at it like this that mercy he didn’t have on you is prolly why ur even alive so yes that was gods mercy god saved you from them ppl I no from ur side it’s really hard to look at it that way but you should give it a shot.
My brother, I'm sorry... I hope you're doing well now, I'm no religious man I will say, but if that is a thing... free will makes us all a%%holes... that being said, hope you're healthy and doing okay mentally, hard to fix something like that, I love ya brother. if it deserving I hope they.....(use imagination) Nobody should be treated like that, I don't care who it is @@ericthomson546
I am so sorry for what you had to endure and experience. I've had many painful experiences as well, and for a time did not understand why. I do now, and know that God gives free will to all. I also now believe that good that can come out of any situation, including the ones that cause pain and suffering. I know this from experience and have witnessed this following a terrible tragedy to those close to me.
You are not alone in your hurt. He was always there with you
Sorry lil sister, a knight yay prince yay king riding a white horse commeth
All glory to God the Father!
This song breaks my heart every time I hear it I had a dysfunctional home like most but we knew we were loved I had Jesus in my heart from the day I was born my heart goes out to all Gods children that go through such horrors they are so innocent 💔
My heart goes out to you congratulations on your soberity you did the right thing for your children I pray your heart is at peace you know our Heavenly Father Loves you I pray you get everything your heart desires God Bless You 💜🙏
My parents didn't die. I had my oldest brother who saved me, he hid me and our other two siblings under the bed, as my dad came home in a drunken state, and beat him. After he beat my mom. I will always love my oldest brother for that. He has since passed away, but he will always be my hero. We all ended up in foster care. My oldest brother, was severely Autistic. Now I try to live my life the way he would have wanted me to. Loved...this song will always hit hard on my heart...
40y/o Infantry Marine - brings me to tears EVERY time
My Daughter was riding in her car seat with her Mom on I-71 heading to Louisville when the U-Joint broke on a Semi's driveshaft sending it into the passenger side of the car and back passenger window. I got the call and drove so fast to them. All I knew was she was hurt. My Daughter's face was bloody from broken glass and traffic was backed up for miles. I took the shoulder and grass to get to her. EMS was treating her but when I held her tight she said "God saved me". She was barely big enough to talk and we just started taking her to church. I cried like a baby and THAT was a reality check for me and my faith ❤️. This song hits hard on many levels..
Beautiful song, I am blessed to have had two amazing parents who always went above and beyond to give there whole heart to me and my brothers. My mom cared for people who could not care for themselves, she is an amazing person and great mom. She had even more love to give when she invited foster kids into our home who had been in situations like this one portrayed in the video. She taught us and made us understand how some kids weren't so fortunate to have a loving family and that we should be grateful and open our hearts to those less fortunate. My Dad was also a kind man and backed up my mom 100%, he formed relationships with those kids and showed them what it was like to have two parents that radiate genuine love. I lost my loving Dad in 2021 to covid and it's still hard for me. But I think i understand what path god wanted my parents to follow. Love and compassion to those who were in bad or rough situations. To anyone that is hurting or struggling and being abused, there are a lot of good people that love you and it will be ok. I am so very sorry for anyone who was not as fortunate to have a loving family, I couldn't imagine how painful it must be to have the 2 people in your life that are supposed to love and protect you at all costs, true loving parents would sacrifice there life for their children not bruise them and allow them to go hungry.
here here and i did they just dont know
This sounds so much like my childhood!! My dad was a severely mentally & physically abusive alcoholic drunk of a man who would beat my mom to a bloody pulp ever couple of weeks!! And both my of my parents (mom covert narcissist) were severely mentally & psychologically abusive always to me!! We lived in this extremely small town “Adams Oklahoma”!! There was a very small church just across the street from where we lived!! I’m 52 yrs old now but at the time I was only 3 yrs old!! I had never been to church, never was told about Jesus, & never owned a Bible while growing up! All I can say is that my Jesus from the get go has always been with me!!! And He always made me so very aware of my need for Him to be in my life!! Well that church that was just across the street from me …. When I was only 3 yrs old I begged my mom to please let me go to church!! So my mom would drop me off at church & there was this much older lady (truly believe was my Guardian Angel)….. that I just knew was sent by God!! So come every Sunday morning I would go to big church and I’d sit with this much older lady & I would always fall asleep in her lap!! Now fast forward to when I was in the 5th grade & we lived in Canyon Tx!! And every Sunday morning my mom would drop me off at the First Baptist Church & then would pick me up at noon when church let out!! Well this one Sunday afternoon my mom as always picked me up from church but this time when I got home my daddy told me….. that I would not be able to go to church anymore because my mom picking me up from church interfered…. with cooking our…. Sunday dinner!!! In that very moment I truly got to experience the absolute worst kind of heartbreak & a kind of pain …..that I had never felt before!!!! In that very moment I literally just died deep down inside!! I can remember in my mind saying over & over “I’m so screwed without God“ I’m so screwed without God ” “I’m so screwed without God!! “Every ounce of any kind faith & hope…. that I once so strongly had just like was all gone!! I must testify that even though I didn’t have a Bible & couldn’t go to church anymore my ever most faithful & ever so precious Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, still to this very day has not ever left my side!!
Saw JMM perform this in concert. It's the only time I ever saw an audience ask a singer to play a song again, and he did! It's a perfect combination of sad tears and tears of joy and hope. I feel Jesus' Love every time I play it.
Wish I could see him do this one! WOW!
This is the fattest tearjerker song ever written
If you are the Little Girl
he wrote this about
I LOVE YOU MIJA
& so does Jehovah of Armies
And King Jesus of Judah
who still listen to this in 2024
who cry's to it comment and let me know
because I cry to this song so yeah
Me!
I played this song at my precious 2 year old, at her funeral. I had just gotten full custody of her and her 4 year old brother, exactly 3 weeks on the day of my little granddaughter accident. Both of her parents were just like the way the parents are described in this video. If she was still alive today, November 4, she would be 24 yrs old. RIP Samantha Darlene King
Your granddaughter shares the same birthdays of our oldest granddaughter. We still regret not getting to adopt her. Her mother mentally destroyed such a beautiful little girl. She will be 23 this year but is not the sweet, precious little girl we basically raised the first four years of her life.
My heart breaks that you lost your granddaughter to death. I feel your pain in each word you wrote.
My daughter is 24. I can't imagine. 💔🙏❤️ Bless you and your sweet family.
I’m very sorry for you’re loss, November fourth is my birthday too.
I never went to church yet my parents were not alcoholics or drug abusers either and I came out just fine, even with the little amount of love I received. I got into personal development and grew up. Took me until 30 yet I got there. I have seen how religion does more harm than good to ppl, so am ever so thankful I wasn't raised in any religion, yet am spiritual now. As someone else wrote in a comment below, I know there are spirits and angels around us. I feel my mum frequently who crossed over when I was 19. She is more helpful to me in spirit than what she would have been if still in physical form.
Hello Ernie.. how are you doing?
@@michaelsmith_32329_ Doing good Michael, and you? 😀
So where are you from?
@@michaelsmith_32329_ Land down under and not meaning Atlantis either lol
It’s 2023 and this song still has the power to make me cry. Love it. ❤
Yep
i dont even think there is a sadder song currently in the world
@@frosstchild but it ended happy!
This song will never die
@@frosstchild Concrete Angel is so sad, especially after I learned the story behind it
🎶👼 "She said, I know that Man there on that Cross, I don't know His name BUT I KNOW HE GOT OFF" ♥ 🙏 🎶
God bless each one of you reading this (and those that kept scrolling and didn't see/read) I love each and every one of you ♥️💕

We need to recognize this is reality for too many children
I've worked with foster kids for over twenty years and trust me this is too many children's reality!!!! It's horrible!!! And all too often the foster homes become an even worse situation!!! It's almost like children go outa the frying pan into the fire and then society wonders why so many people are so messed up!!!! You would not believe how many kids I worked with over the years who felt the need to call me Mom!!!! Did I let them???? You bet I did and still do to this day!!!! I gave birth to one biological son who has given me a bonus granddaughter, who was not his biologically, but is ours regardless, and two grandsons!!!! But with all my other children at last count I can claim over thirty five grandchildren!!!! No too darn bad a reward for my work!!!! I'm very blessed!!!!
@@michaellarenee4856 What State? Have you retired? I've got an idea that I pitched to NASCAR drivers in 2009 but I had a brain tumor that needed attention so last summer in ve finally been told it's gone. Now I want to start a new nonprofit that addresses the issues that makes foster kids fall thru the cracks in the system. I've already contacted other racers in F1, Indy and dragsters and they've all said YES, & DO IT! They want me to do this because I've been there, done that and bought the Tshirt. My birth family was from Detroit, do you know about the contaminated drinking water in Michigan? It killed 3 generations of my family at once and even some of my friends remembered that my GM died from a brain tumor while I was in foster care. I was adopted Christmas 1981 and my adopted family was awesome to take me, I have learned that there's another way to help others except thru govt help. I can build a nonprofit, which the racers said start in Texas and take it National. Now, when they said that? Idk that North Carolina has a state income tax, so now I think I have enough people to start the 1st board of Directors but I'm still looking for more helpers. Let me know if you're interested? And yes, I'm still in Texas. :)
@@kristinatidwell6563 I have not retired, group homes I worked in closed up and are no longer opened except the last one which was a Psychological Residential Treatment Facility for extreme behaviored children!!!! I hated working there because their idea was that discipline is too punitive and allowed bad behaviors to go unpunished. For instance I got punched in the face by a 15 year old male and all he got for a punishment was a five minute meditation on what he did wrong!!!! He was back on level within that amount of time!!!! Most of the places I worked at had a stricter program to help children learn life skills and coping mechanisms and they had incentives for children to work towards for better behavior!!!!
I, too, had an idea of starting my own Christian based group home for troubled youths, but I just don't have the kind of money needed to start one!!!!! God bless you with your vision!!!!
Like me I'm a child me and I realized my own life
It so sad how people can just not care about there child that much that the litteraly killthemselfs in f4ont of ther child
The Divine is watching over us all, even during the most horrific of times. It's difficult to understand why there is so much pain and suffering in the world. Sime people get angry with God. But it is NOT God causing the pain. It is other PEOPLE who have FREE WILL and have chosen the dark side instead of choosing the light! Make the world a better place - choose the LIGHT. ❤
Me and my sister used to hide behind our bunk beds growing up. My dad was an alcoholic. However, today he is 15 years sober and we have a better understanding and relationship.
I relate to this because my mom had me when she was 18 and she was a wiccan and my real dad did drugs and hes been in jail a lot in my life. When i was 12 he got drunk and passed out and i tried to wake him. Then my mom and grandma came to pick me up. Then i believed that if my own dad cant love me than no man will. On my 16th birthday i saw jesus's face and now im studying to become a pastor
I've been looking for this song for YEARS! I thought I had imagined it this whole time!!!!
That’s why I’m here, I had searched for years…finally got ChatGPT to figure it out for me off just a few lyrics when google never could
Sadly, this is continuing. The system fails children, Jesus still loves them
He got off his name is Jesus and He lives for every more. Thank you Jesus.
"I know that man up there on that cross, I don't know his name, but I know he got off" This just hits hard, it makes me cry, and my oldest brother, he plays this song on guitar, sometimes he can't bring himself to ding this part
I don't really believe and I'm not a Christian nor do I follow any religion but it does make me kinda happy to see that people can find true happiness in a religion
I agree that part gets to me using my friend phone my name is April
@@wtfamidoinghere1179 It does not have to be a religion to know Jesus. It is a personal experience and relationship with Jesus that doesn't mean you are religious. I have a personal relationship with Jesus but I'm not religious. I believe because truthfully, why wouldn't you? With all the horror and evil in this world I would rather believe and have faith in Jesus and that he is real and there is a God our father in heaven then to not believe and face judgement from our creator and spend eternity in hell. No thanks, Jesus my best friend, my Lord and Savior!
Amen
@@ryanbrumbaugh5724 AMEN Brother!!!
I was that girl, hiding behind the couch in 2000. My heart breaks everytime I hear this song and for every child who goes through a similar situation.
Sorry you had to go through that I also went through it n will never put my daughter in any situation close to wat I dealt with..keep your head up
I know u don’t know me but just know that I love u
Me too only we didn't even have a couch. We hid under the house...
Just say no
I was hiding behind the couch in the late 60's
This is literally my story… but it wasn’t about me. I did go to church ❤️ He’s coming soon for us 🙌 The blessed hope 🙏
I didn’t get a new mom and dad, I had to stay. But I DID meet that man on the wall ❤ Jesus ❤
I’ve worked in the death industry ever since I was a teen. He’s real, and you’re safe and loved ❤
This is exactly how me and my wife got our little girl and thank God for her everyday we do
Thank you for giving her loving parents.
❤❤❤
God Bless you...
This is one of the saddest songs ever recorded. Makes my eyeballs sweat every time.
Sean Dana I agree 💯 Between _this_ song, "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride and "What Hurts The Most" by Rascal Flatts.... 💔😭😭😭
Think this is sad, listen to "Little Boy and the Preacher Man" by Jesse Howard. I think that one is about the same if not worse than "The Little Girl".
I was adopted when i was 7yrs old and God has blessed me with a new family that love me.
that is awesome. be good.
I believe, when we get to heaven, we'll get to know our family members who are so messed up on this side
@@nevaehharris9562 I've learned it's best to change grief to gratitude, to believe everybody is doing the best they can. When we know better we do better
Same here 🖤💯
I was this child except my parents are alive and my mom didn’t do drugs, but I was this child.
This song makes me cry every time. I'm thankful for my grandparents taking me away from my real parents and I'm thankful for the Lord taking care of me because I almost died at the age of 2 because of my uncle. So I'm really thankful for what I got. 🖤🕊
Well I share your thankfulness for grand parents but not the fiction. May the fiction bless you with its false hope my friend
Commenting on my hubby's account.. but this song makes me cry every time! It has such a happy ending. I want to adopt, every time I hear this! ❤
This song just makes you want to hold your children close to you and give them the unconditional love they deserve
Thanks for loving me and my music
Thank you for this song. As you can see from the countless coments..it has given so much hope to those like myself who grew up in abusive homes. I’m so thankful to God and my grandparents who lovingly showed me that not all love comes with strings. We serve an amazing God and I’m grateful to Him every day that I’m still here, despite my abusive past. Thank you for reaching out with your gift of music to those like myself who have endured much pain. As an adult..I now understand that God allowed me so much pain so that I can understand, love and have compassion toward others who have been through similar circumstances. He allowed me to walk a mile in their shoes. 🙏🏻✝️@@johnMontgomery-xd6ym
Thank You Jesus for All Blessings
Just brought tears to my eyes...God is always with the orphans and widows.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
This song hit so differently, it speaks directly to my heart ❤️ and I can't help it so it's on repeat all day lol. Where are you from beautiful?
I Love This Song, Mr. Montgomery, I Am Your Biggest Fan, And This Song Brings Tears To My Eyes Every Single Time I Hear It!
Your #1 Fan
Sam Peterson
I remember cleaning the house and Mama stopping everything and turning the radio up just to hear this song better.....we cried and to this day, even though we don't get a long much I always remember her telling me she loved me and that she will always be there for me.....we have fought and argued through the years but I am so thankful for her daily!!!
Been in EMS for a long time...it never gets easier. But you hear kids a lot say that someone was with them, and you know there was no one else in the house. You know Angels were with them. PTL. This song always gives me chills, but in a good way. I thank God that He sends Angels to watch over these babies until we can get to them because their parents are....something.
Amen. Thank god for his mercy.
Amen
Whats ptl?
@@sethwatters99'praise the lord' is my guess
No one was with me when my mom broke my skull on the bathroom wall .
To everyone who comets on this song My God Bless you ❤
Damn..... As a middle aged man in the US I have been conditioned to suppress my feelings. I have only cried a couple of times in my adult life, but this song really gets me every single time I hear it or see the video. I don't believe i have ever watched it without having tears on my face. Very powerful. I truly hate that this is the reality for so many vulnerable young children.
I hear you. Makes me misty eyed every time I hear.
Concrete Angel by Martina McBride
Me too it's emotional manipulation at its finest to push fiction. But imagining it being real hits the heart. He's truly a great puppeteer. Not an insult. I love wh3n ,ovies, songs etc know how to pull our strings and use our emotions against us in a con. That's art make us feel people that aren't us and share their perspective even if it'd fictional b.s.
I lhave lived a life similar to this song. Was abused by 2 step fathers, from about 1 year old to 13 years old in everyday imaginable. So this song and Independence Day are 2 that bring me to tears all these years later.
My son above all
Every person on this planet should hear this song. I'm male and I can't help the tears
This song hit so differently, it speaks directly to my heart ❤️ and I can't help it so it's on repeat all day lol. Where are you from beautiful?
This is such a powerful song, artist simply don’t make songs this powerful anymore! This song literally makes me want to hold my children closer, because it is a reality for so many other children out there.
I Wrote A Powerful Song About Child Abuse Called Children Lives Matter
we have children in America suffering and sad that need help, so much focus is on children overseas when we overlook those in our own communities. Pay attention and show Jesus Christ's love everywhere you go.
One powerful song. Lord Jesus please protect those kids Amen
This song is a real tearjerker for anyone that had to grow up in a situation like this
Hello crystal.. how are you doing?
Every time I hear this song I cry. It never fails.
Every time I hear this song I cry too
You think this is sad, listen to little boy and preacher man
you want to hear a real sad song listen to concrete angel by Martina Mcbride I've heard a bunch of sad songs like one voice by Billy gilman and alyssa lies that one's about a true story
@@johnpoteet5377 hello how are you today
Me too - every single time -
I know many individuals (including myself) who can relate to this song. Its a continuing crisis that no one seems to want to address. I know kids that lost their parents to drug overdoses and it messes them up growing up. The children themelves may or may not be abused personally but they come from a troubled home nonetheless and it follows them into adulthood. I was fortunate to end up with a mother who taught us about Jesus at an early age before she passed away but so many do not. My siblings and I endured many unspeakable horrors from the hands of our stepmother after our mother passed away in a car crash (forced to sleep outside in below freezing temps, locked in basements, starved some days, hands nearly burned on stove eyes, and other stuff that I can't even mention). I was fortunate to go live with a God fearing relative once CPS got involved but my siblings were not so fortunate. They ended up in foster homes that in some cases were worse than the sad situation they were leaving. Its led to a strained relationship with my dad and siblings over the years
I feel like this is such a good song because it's about a girl having a really bad life then changing and when not even going to church knowing God such a beautiful song.
This song hits home really hard for me because I'm a survivor of an abusive house
I can't get through this song without 😢. This is my nephews story. My twin and my nephews dad started using meth and child services got involved, child services had my nephew for 2 years and my mom prayed to adopt him. Her prayer was answered, my nephew is now in a loving home. I took him to church for the first time last week and he loved it. So many people welcomed him.
Everytime I hear this song I Tear up myself this song makes me want to be the best Father I can to my 7 year old daughter
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
Amen!
This song gives me chills what about you...?
I pray for children.
God gave humans the gift of life to enjoy.
❤️My childhood was happier than most.
I still listen to this song when i feel like getting drunk.. im an alcoholic thats been sober since Dec of 2020, my daughter was born Feb of 2022, i wanted a family but my wife wouldn't get off birth control until i had 1 year sober. I did it and was able to start a family, this song reminds me of how bad i used to be while drinking although i was never abusive i was a huge asshole and will never let my daughter see me intoxicated 🙏
May the Lord Jesus continue to bless you and keep you away from alcohol❤
I remember the first time I really listened to the lyrics of this song. It was in the early fall of 2000. I was out walking for exercise while listening to the local country radio station on my Walkman.. which of course gives you the opportunity to really listen to song lyrics that you might not otherwise focus on. I remember hearing the lyrics... "Her first day of Sunday school the teacher walked in and a small little girl stared at a picture of Him. She said, "I know that man up there on that cross I don't know his name, but I know he got off" 'Cause he was there in my old house and held me close to his side.. as I hid there behind our couch the night that my parents died" I couldn't walk another step.. and stood on the sidewalk and cried. I'm sure anyone who saw me most likely thought I was crazy.. but I didn't notice.. or care. Those lyrics were and remain.. some of the most impactful of my life. A heartbreaking and important reminder of children living in traumatizing and sadly dysfunctional circumstances. ❤😢
Hello Lisa.. how are you doing?
I will never understand how anyone could ever abuse or neglect a child.
This song kills me Everytime I listen to it, but also reminds me of this;
Matthew 18:1-5
And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”
Suffer the little children to come into Me,&do not hinder them,for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.😇👼🏻🙏🏻
Don’t forget the next verse,
Matthew 18:6
“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”
Tell that to the many unborn murdered by abortion, they too, wonder the same thing in Heaven.
I just heard this song today, brought tears to my eyes . You don't hear songs like this anymore. Beautiful song
Hello Alice.. how are you doing?
Thanks for listening to my music
Let us take a stand and fight for the precious little children pray 🙏and ❤we can help them with Jesus in our hearts 💕
There may come a day I can sing this song without crying, but it is not this day.
The words and message are just heart breaking. You feel her pain, and finally her peace..
Song reminds me of my oldest daughter being raised or with a abusive father me a recovering addict trying so hard to get my kids outta California but struggling financially very bad rn but I'll never give up I pray it's not too late with her alcoholic dad omg such a beautiful song I love n miss my kids so much in California god is good but here in az trying so hard so I pray soon I overcome
Erica, I dont know you, but thank you for sharing your story. It touched my heart and I pray that the Lord God places His mighty healing and restoring hand upon you and upon your children, and even upon their earthly father.. I dont know your situation, but Jesus knows your hurts and your worries, and your cares... seek the Lord with ALL your heart, and He will draw near to you.. The Lord has brought me through my own personal struggles, but I had to surrender everything to Him, addictions, lies, hurts, wants and needs... and the Lord has changed my life around, and I know He can do it for you too! Like I said before, I dont know you, but I want you to know that I love you with the love of Christ, and will pray for you and your family❤ May God bless you, and keep you, make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace❤
I miss this kind of country music
Same
That makes two of us. Just so much soul and passion that is lacking or nonexistent in country music and culture now
Look up uncle Lucius, keep the wolves away, ballad of a southern man. It’s still out there just half hidden, it’s called folk now for some stupid reason.
Me too
But what about the beer? And the trucks? And the tractors? And the girls in daisy dukes? Come on, that's what really important in life, right??
I know HE GOT OFF THAT CROSS because HE held me by HIS SIDE the night my mother died. 1978...Harrisonburg Virginia... Salvation Army Chapel on Main Street. RIP LT. Dora Elizabeth Dutton.
I was 17 years old at the time this came out. I'll be 40 in less than a week. It's amazing how songs can be so much more meaningful when we get older and understand the message. I cried in my car when he sang about Jesus holding her close to his side...
Thanks for loving my music

Don't ever give up. I'm a alcholic and keep to myself so I don't effect others. If you've have been through the same things dont give up. Some of us are lost but you don't have to be at all. Ever.
Jesus loves you too. All you have to do is ask for help.
Don't you know their children everywhere going through this we just have to pray about it God will look over them
I remember hearing this as a kid and not really thinking much of it but now here I am 34 years old and can't hold my tears back. I don't know how true this particular story is but regardless of that I have to say God is good 🙌
It’s true for some child somewhere right now 😢
This song gets me everytime and makes me be the best father i possibly can to my daughter
Have you listened to Alyssa Lies? There’s a tear jerker. It’s sad that we need these kinds of songs though.
John Michael Montgomery little girl song music video.
@@DantesBbyGrl07Jason Michael Carroll's 'Alyssa Lies' I have that CD and yes that song will make you cry but then there's also Martina McBride - Concrete Angel
That come first!!
Gfyous
This song hits really close to home for me the only difference is my “parents” are still here and no one took me away from it. I am 27 years old now and lived there it all
I'm so sorry. 💔 I hope you have the peace and counseling you need for that. ❤
So sorry
Very rare a song makes me cry because i know the miracles of Jesus and its truly thee greatest feeling
I bawled my eyes out the first time I heard this song. Such a underrated gem this song is.
This is my favorite song by John Michael Montgomery
RIP JMM!
Anybody with love for the man upstairs can’t hold a tear back during this song . God bless all children that has been raised in a household like this one . God bless em .
God ain’t No man up no stairs! He is God almighty!
@@philliphanger8535 why is there always a prick trolling you?
@@philliphanger8535 that’s just an expression we use down south in the United States . When we say that , we definitely mean God Almighty.
@@chrischamberlain4846 and that expression needs to be done away with
My life is this song
This song Is a stark reminder that this is happening to hundreds of thousands of little kids right this very moment. My own mother was taking us down this path, thankfully our father pulled us outta there in time
This song is familiar. God gets the glory for why I'm still here
Some some just touch you on another level 💙 This song was released in 2000 & my baby girl was 3.
"Cause he was there in my old house,
Held me close to his side.
As I hid there behind our couch.
The night that my parents died."
Rips my heart out every time!!
To this day, this song still absolutely rips my heart out of my chest. It is nothing short of a crying shame how many children in the world today are living this kind of existence. God bless the children with the strength to endure and God bless all who take these young souls in and give them the love and compassion they need and deserve.
I hope my foster parents the Broadways know how much they changed me. The Thomblinsons as well. I love yall. Thank you so much. I pray they continue to impact little girls like me.
This reminds me so much of my mom, and her many abusive boyfriends who I always called “dad,” because my real one was in the military, and my mom always told me that I could have multiple dads because each one loved me. I didn’t get to know my real dad until I was a little older.
I used to hide behind our couch, close my eyes, and cover my ears every time my mom and her boyfriend would get drunk and fight. Or I would find an escape in Disney princess movies, waiting for someone to rescue me, as I tried not to hear glass being shattered against the walls. She always got the shit beat out of her. I remember one time being 3-4 years old, and walking in to the kitchen to get grapes sometime during the middle of the night. It was pitch black outside, and in the house...everywhere except underneath my mom and “daddy Jeff’s” door. He was gone when I walked in the room, and I never saw him again after this night. When I walked in, I found my mom in bed with blood all over the wall behind her head, with a newspaper over her face.
My reaction was to turn around and go back to my room and go to bed. It had become such a normal thing for me, that I never knew how abnormal it truly was.
My grandparents took me in and raised me shortly after that. They’ve been gone around 9 years now (RIP), but because of their love for me, I’m now able to show my sons, and amazing husband, a different life than what I would’ve had with my real mom.
I’m 27 now, but I still turn in to the little girl behind the couch when I hear certain noises, just like the one in this video.
I’m just glad the little girl in the video had a happy ending. ❤️
EDIT: My mom ended up dying between Memorial Day weekend and June 1st. She was left in the middle of nowhere, abandoned in her car, had been robbed, along with having a black eye.,and her phone continued to be used days after she died. It’s honestly unbelievable. I just have to hope she’s back with her parents, her brother, and my brother, wherever they go when they die. It’s been weeks and we don’t know the cause of death, or the exact day she died.
It’s been something out of a nightmare. My son was born 8 weeks ago, and he and his 4 year old brother (who turned 4 on June 12th) are definitely keeping me occupied so I can keep my mind off of things.
Thank you all again, times a billion, for your comments. I always see a new comment right when I need it most.
Update 06/01/2022:
It’s been a year today that I found out my mom died. I still don’t know what happened, I only know who left her where she was, and a few other very unpleasant facts that I won’t add to this nightmare of a comment. I just know so many of you amazing people have kept in touch with my comment and sending your prayers. I wanted to let you guys know that it’s taking time…but I’m slowly healing. I fall back some days, and I’m sure today will be one of those days, but I started equine therapy (horse therapy ♥️) and I believe this is going to help tremendously. There’s nothing quite like bonding with a horse and riding through a field. I can feel her and my grandparents with me every day, and I see her in my babies more and more every day.
Thank you all again. It never fails - I get an email about a new comment right when I need it most. A lot of you have helped me out of some very dark places - just by sending a kind message.
Let this be a reminder that what you say/type behind a screen…truly does make an impact on the human you’re typing to. It’s easy to forget we’re all just human beings at the end of the day.
God bless all of you wonderful people. I pray you all have peace in your lives, in your hearts, and surrounding your loved ones. Life is short.♥️
Words fail me.
What Matt said
@@mattgoss3060 I could write a novel filled with stories like this. That was just one night & wasn’t even close to the worst one. But I’ve always told myself things happen for a reason, and there’s always a lesson to be learned in life. It definitely gave me a morbid sense of humor lol but an outlet is an outlet. I honestly didn’t think anyone would ever even read my comment, so I just let it all out.
Thank you for taking the time.
@@status8477 Just like I told Matt, I honestly didn’t think anyone would ever read my comment, so I just let it all out. It felt good to tell someone. Even if it is the internet. Thank you for reading it.
@@HannahLandrigan With what happened to you, I highly doubt religion would remotely interest you. I know some who have gone through a similar or lesser experience and it led to them hating anything related to religion or God.
Even so, going with my first comment, I do not know what to say to reach out to let someone know that there is a shoulder for them if they ever feel the need.
So the best I got is "I'll pray for you."
I really wish I got better, but beautiful words don't seem to be my strong suit.
I was on my porch about 2am when this song first came on. By the time it was over i was bawling my eyes out.
This song hits hard.
I love this song even though it makes me so sad. Thank you, Jesus. I am glad that you love me. It almost makes me cry.
First of all that little girl is real and I'm happy to tell everybody that she's about 20 years old Airport and hardly remembers what happened that night thank God
This song was released in 2000. 20 years ago. If that girl is real(not saying she isnt) your math is way off buddy. She would be closer to 30 assuming he wrote the song and published it when she was just under 10.
To reiterate the song is about a little girl not a baby
Actually 32
May God and all the good hearted older people save all the orphan, innocent children out there....
I Wrote A Song Called Children Lives Matter And It's Against Child Abuse
These are the best stories...a family adopting an abused child and doing nothing but giving them unconditional love...
This song came out almost exactly 19 years ago. It still remains a classic.
What a beautiful song it remained me when I was a child
A very emotional song with powerful lyrics. Every child in this situation I pray will always be guarded by god.
In 2023 time changes everything but 😢 today is my day...my mother I'm her daughter I am a true believer in God s plan.... I will be there around Bailey 🎉
God Bless Harley Allen for writing this song. He was one of a kind. “Still climbing mountains” R. I.P. Harley.
My dad was an abusive alcoholic. This song hits... so thankful my mom got us out of there.
John Michael Montgomery’s voice is absolutely epic! However, when you add in Alison Krauss’s harmony…you have just taken it to a whole different level of excellence!
?
@@CanadianGuy2004 What is the ‘?’ for?
@@robertelee467 Allison Krauss where?
@@CanadianGuy2004 She’s the one that’s doing the female harmony that you hear in the song with John Michael Montgomery.
YES!! Especially the last two lines of this song! She harmonizes with him so amazingly well, but without overpowering him!
So glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Amazing!
soo blessed I had a mom and dad who loved me and told me about Jesus
This song had me in tears. I mean, she had no food, but was to afraid to ask. And child abuse is just so sad and heartbreaking
One of, if not the only song that gives me absolute goosebumps. And now that I’m a father myself, it hits even harder.
Go listen to the song Alyssa Lies 😭
@@hi5homeschool454that’s also a great one!!
Went to play this song cause I shared on my Facebook in 2014 today 😢 growing up with parents addicted to drugs and alcohol they would fight all the time never took us to church but we had God with us had bible study and our neighbor would take us to church later on a bus. In 2014 I had my daughter on the way Faith is her name but also lost my stepmom she was shot not from my dad he was on his way to pick up get her after being apart for years. When I think of my stepmom I think of how creative she was she could make anyone smile with her bubbly personality she was beautiful did modeling. My dad kinda died that day also with heartbreak regrets blaming himself cause she knew they talked the night before she said she was going to die if she stayed my dad got the 10 mins after the next morning. ❤
My mom starts crying every time she hears this song. Her mom took her to a John Michael Montgomery concert and this song was sang at that concert and she started crying heavily and a lot. "That song *tears you up* inside every time you hear it. I am crying right now just talking about it!" She said yesterday. I had forgotten to listen to it yesterday so I listened to it today. Everyone have a good day and a good year!
I remember hearing this song for the first like it was yesterday. I was on my way home from the bowling alley I worked at (20yrs ago) at around midnight. I had to pull my car onto the side of the road because I was bawling 😭 like a baby and couldn't see where I was going anymore! I just listened to it for the first time in years and found myself STILL crying 😭 like a baby 😊
I'm a Father, Grandfather and Great Grandfather from the first time I heard this song I have cried and I'm heartbroken for all the children that endured this horrific nightmare.
Made me cry so much. No child should ever have to endure such pain and trauma 💔😥
This song should be plastered all over the world. Drugs and alcohol are killers. They will take everything from you slowly and the last thing is your life. I'm 6 years sober and twice lost everything I had including my kids and wife. I have my kids back and am sober but I don't wish that addiction and pain and struggle on anyone. You can get clean, if you want it. Be safe and God bless.
My Parents Was On Drugs And Died From It
Some don’t understand being the first responder on a call like this. Makes me cry every time brings back bad memories. You can’t erase or reset this.
