Rock N Roll baby! Coming out of the Mennonite church in 1985 ,I heard Stryper!! My parents forbid me to listen at first. After a year in Vegas with my parents in 1986, they eventually allowed me to listen to STRYPER!
I don't care what you believe in, but If you're going to call a song "God", it better be amazing. I think this song delivers. Epic in every way. Writing, Groove, Guitars, Killer Interlude, Vocal Harmonies...it's all there. Instantly one of my favorite rock tunes. \\m//
Came here riding the NOSTALGIA TRAIN......... it seems like its not stopping anytime soon..... Hope to see other passengers riding this train with me..... 😉😊
GOD IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEMS TODAY... JESUS SHED BLOOD ON THE CROSS TOO SAVE ALL OF YOU... FROM EVERLASING DEATH CALL TO... JESUS NOW HE WILL ANSWER... JESUS LIVES... LOVE YOU GUYS ALWAYS 777... JESUS IS THE LOVER OF YOUR SOUL...777
+sean Decastro Full of truth... Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life... Without the Way, there is no going... Without the Truth, there is no knowing... And without the Life, there is no living!
Yes. I'm not even religious, but I love the way Stryper weaves those epic narratives into their music. Good clean living has kept Sweet's voice angelic, too. It's somewhat rare to see a rock star who's not puking out his pancreas by age 50. I hope they'll continue to make music for us for a few more decades :)
I Hated Stryper in the beginning. I let my hatred of Born Again Christians get in the way of my judgement. But after studying the Philosophy Of Jesus of Nazareth I have become more enlightened to what a real Christian is.Cheers to Stryper for enduring a world where Ridiculous Satanic Metal bands are praised and being evil is cool. Cheers to Stryper for sticking to their guns regardless of what the wicked world thinks. Cheers to Stryper! May the true living God continue to bless them with outstanding talent as long as they keep his word. They make a joyful noise in the name of the Lord, so play it loud!
No. God save them. We're already saved. All of the apostles of Christ except one suffered the most terrible of deaths for Christ, and the church was built upon their blood because now it bears a testiomony to the entire world. The Bible says that we will overcome the dragon by the blood of our testimony. If we are martyred and persecuted, we are winning anyway. We just have to be ready to die for Jesus if it comes down to it, because there is a real possibility that it will.
im no Christian and I definitely agree satanic bands were silly.. seriously I believe most metal bands whether they're Christians or not, inside their heart they knew Satanist were silly but they cant say it..the repercussion from metal fans were too great, they could lose their job.
@duane rohan 7 years have passed. I wonder if the word "hatred" was what you meant? Hate is a very strong word. It is used way too much these days, in practice. Holding a high disdain, would be a term, that I would use myself. I would not want to come off as overly righteous though. I am not preaching at you. God Bless You!
I've been a stryper fan since I was 14. I'm 44 now. Do the math. This is the most rocking band EVER!! Their message is positive. I think that's why they have had such longevity. Praise god. Stryper Roxx.
The vocals, talent and musicianship of these guys is just excellent and raw compared to so many people then, and now. Awesome power/truth in the lyrics.
They really are! We saw them a couple weeks ago-- my husband and I both agreed it was it the best concert we've ever been to!! We have tickets to see them again next month. Keep playing and rocking us guys!!!!!!!!!
Stryper are so Holy Soldiers for Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ.What a beautiful song GOD is.Michael Sweets vocals are the best.Very talented band.AMEN
HAHA cant believe these guys are still going after all these years! Well done and God bless Stryper! I wonder when they will produce a song about our flat motionless earth under the firmament? now that would be a revelation :)
It is amazing at how God works. Even the haters of Christ, the Athiest, the Agnostic, and the satanist cannot stay away. Yes they like to post insults and negative things, but they are here. They are drawn to Christ and they do not even realize it. If they were true to their anti-christ convictions and beliefs, they would bot waste their time here trolling Christian based music. God wins! You are drawn to the Almighty Creator of the Universe. You cannot help yourselves, because no matter how much you think you hate Christ, you are here in this place hearing his Gospel being preached and like it or not, a seed has been planted in your hearts that Jesus is way to Salvation. You can insult, respond with hate, but you are still here.
This song is simple sound advice set as an example as how to approach the Master of the Universe. To ask God for Mercy is the correct thing for all the world to do at This Point.
JEFF BROWN no jeff im here for the kickass songs.im a confirmed christian mate but im afraid after what ive seen and lived though theres no christ mate! Far from it
+ZuoCruz You are right man! God Bless you and well, the same for you Sean, I know, you not believe un God... so, if you don't Believe in God, Why comment this video?
Awesome, rocking song and homemade video. Two thumbs WAY UP!!! I've listened to this several times, and it doesn't get old,...because it's an instant classic. Hopefully, one day, the band will make a professional vid for this song (which is doubtful, especially in today's economy), but either way, it's all good. I saw them live in concert and met them backstage, got autographs, hung out with Robert (the visual timekeeper), and needless to say, these guys ARE the Real Deal, and #1 in my "book".
Stryper is the best of all time in Music and Michael Sweet their is no voice like his. God has blessed them for over 30 years and is continuing to bless Michael and Robert and Oz and then adding Perry a couple of years ago band is strong and of course still ministring about Jesus Christ.
Lyrics: Hearts are weeping souls are keeping on ice Spirits dying wickedness won’t suffice Those who cared they stop and stare at the wall Doing nothing watching prisoners fall The sun is falling from the sky The earth is cold and still God - have mercy on us For we know not what we do God - dark and blinded we are burning Without You - God Without conscience without warning at all We kill the wounded crushing those who crawl Can’t we see that life is hung by a thread In the end our flesh is buried and dead Mountains crumble rivers swell The tide is taking all God - have mercy on us For we know not what we do God - dark and blinded we are burning Without You - God
All Thumbs Up...Didn't realize that Stryper was still making albums. Need to find this one for my collection. I started listening to Stryper back from day one and have all of their "Records" including the Limited Edition "To Hell With The Devil".
Always and forever a fan! Stryper changed my life and I do hope and pray I see them again in concert and VIP! The devil hides when they play for our Lord God! Absolutely LOVE THEM!!
Outstanding job on the video and what a great song. I've been a huge fan of Stryper for many years and hope they continue on spreading the good word for many years to come! God bless!
Excellent work! This is one of my favorite Stryper songs, and it really gets me. Amazing lyrics, a stellar performance, and excellent vocals...I get chills when I think about this song as well as when I listen to it. The final chorus is perfect, and the ending is outstanding.
Awesome song and I saw them twice last year. I met them twice too at Meet and greet and they were so nice. They perform live very well and didn't hear any mistakes.
Nádherný zpěvy a kytary......a BŮH....který jim žehná a drží je nad vodou......klobouk dolů před našim Bohem a taky muzikou těchto borcůůůůůů.......Halelůjah......ámen.....KLH
In my opinion this is probably Stryper's masterpiece. Great musicianship skills and the tempo change at the end was brilliant. Nothing to envy to bands like Metallica....at all.
Yes. I'm a few years late to the party, but I had to stop by and comment bc I'm thinking about posting content on my own channel and I'm looking around for some ideas. The OP did a fine job on this vid, imo. I thought it was an official vid until about halfway in. Upvoted :)
Agree, even more, Metallica can only dream of playing like Stryper, Kirk is an ok player but never at the height of Michael and Oz. , Michael's voice is superior to James's
I saw the original lineup at a sports bar when this album came out And they opened with the song They were great! I couldn't believe Matthew sweets vocals
Totally agreed. Stryper is still that great huge venues band, this song reminds me their old classics, still give me the chills when I listen to those ol´songs¡
Rockin the rails while listening to Stryper! Installing beautiful curves and standard railings, in my mid 50's. Oh, the look on the younger carpenters when they hear me listening to heart pounding metal.
good to see stryper back......we missed u ..........the world needs stryper,,,,,,,the world missed stryper......it was srtyper that i became christian,,,,,,,,,,,,,the world need god,,,,thank u stryper
Great job making that music video the whole traffic sequence reminds me that the world's flying by everybody doing their own thing, when it can change in a heartbeat. When everything can come crashing down as it did for me after I got bad accident. I blame God I asked him "why would you let this happen to me "I had the whole world ahead of me. Now I'm broken. I'm a singer guitar drummer. Worst part of it all is the mental anguish.
shawn douglass I saw them in Battle Creek (was very crowded and HOT, but the band sounded awesome). Then I saw them a few months later in Cleveland for their THWTD anniversary concert!
You youngsters just don't get it. Growing up these guys were one of the biggest metal bands out there. Up there with Metallica, Megadeth etc. At the time. Not just Christian music, metal bands period. Now a devout Christian I am happy to see they are still rocking. And spreading the good news.
For years I've avoided listening to this band. A few months ago I've opened up to give them a chance. I'm not big on the Christian thing but this band is great.

Fan since 16, now 38 :)
I’m 52, fan since 14.
I'm 43... And just found this phenomenal band... Not only is it joyous for my ears... But it has reconfirmed my faith 🙏🙏
The vocals, talent and musicianship of these guys is just excellent and raw compared to so many people then, and now. Awesome power/truth in the lyrics.
Anyone who hasn't seen this band live in concert just don't understand how good they actually are....
Saw them at the Cannery here in Vegas just this Saturday! I wish they played this song, but yes, I agree. They are phenomenal live!
They really are! We saw them a couple weeks ago-- my husband and I both agreed it was it the best concert we've ever been to!! We have tickets to see them again next month. Keep playing and rocking us guys!!!!!!!!!
I love this song... I Love how hard the sound is.
I still love these guys, still amazed by the talent. And the fact that they still give GOD the glory. God bless all.
One of Stryper's biggest masterpieces.
this song moves me ...thank you God
+rsteel475 god hates you for being a dummy!

You're proof that Satan has his trolls...
+SokemRokemRobot lol, blame it on the devil you freak everybody else does !
@@seandecastro And God still loves you even when you are a dummy
I love God...and when I hear a harmonized solo...God bless America..
Perfect music and perfect band GOD BLESS STRYPER !!
I can feel the anointing in Michael's powerful scream! Hallelujah to the King! Stryper rocks for Christ! Wooo!!!
STRYPER ROCKS!!!!
Man enough to SHOUT IT OUT LOUD.....THIS SONG AS MADE ME WEEP....MORE THAN ONCE....AMEN!!!! HE LIVES!!!
HAVE MERCY ON US, FOR WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE DO
one of the most underestimated bands on the planet because of bias and intolerance
That would be most Christian metal bands, especially christian death metal bands. but i also agree
What are some of your fave Christian death metal bands.
Renascent is by far my favourite
Elektric Ka IKR
I agree with you
Great lyrics. Thank you for rockin for Jesus.
I hope to meet you someday.
Rockin the rails for Jesus.
I love you guys
Stryper are so Holy Soldiers for Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ.What a beautiful song GOD is.Michael Sweets vocals are the best.Very talented band.AMEN
Amen
Love this song. The covering is a great album too. They took on some big songs and nailed them.
AYE!
HAHA cant believe these guys are still going after all these years! Well done and God bless Stryper! I wonder when they will produce a song about our flat motionless earth under the firmament? now that would be a revelation :)

Lyrics:
Hearts are weeping souls are keeping on ice
Spirits dying wickedness won’t suffice
Those who cared they stop and stare at the wall
Doing nothing watching prisoners fall
The sun is falling from the sky
The earth is cold and still
God - have mercy on us
For we know not what we do
God - dark and blinded we are burning
Without You - God
Without conscience without warning at all
We kill the wounded crushing those who crawl
Can’t we see that life is hung by a thread
In the end our flesh is buried and dead
Mountains crumble rivers swell
The tide is taking all
God - have mercy on us
For we know not what we do
God - dark and blinded we are burning
Without You - God
Excellent song....Stryper brought an epic song and touch many souls through this song....i' m so blessed..
All Thumbs Up...Didn't realize that Stryper was still making albums. Need to find this one for my collection. I started listening to Stryper back from day one and have all of their "Records" including the Limited Edition "To Hell With The Devil".
Glad to see Stryper still rockin.
They saved me years ago.
Jesus saved you-if you asked Him to. 😊
THEY SHOULD BE PRAISED AS ONE OF HEAVY METALS MOST OUTSTANDING CHRISTIAN BANDS EVER,NEXT TO SACRED WARRIOR.
God bless Stryper I still to this day hear their music praise God Michael Sweet and that yell love it!!!
