I raised my kids by myself, I will never forget the day my Son played this song for me. Today he is married with 2 children of his own and just got a promotion at work. I cry every-time I hear this song.
YOUR LOVE YOU GAVE TO YOUR PERFECT CHILDREN WILL ALWAYS BE REPAYED A THOUSAND FOLD!!! THANK YOU FOR A PERFECT MOTHER IN SPITE OF THE ODDS OR THE SYSTEM!!!! ❤ READ A BOOK CALLED "MAID." IT WILL DIGNIFY YOU!!! AND BREAK YOUR HEART!!! LOVE YOU Mama!!!
Just had a service for my aunty who was 97, and this song just moved me to tears. This helped me to let go of sadness, and I knew JESUS was right there telling me it's OK. Thank you for this precious song. Your voice is so heartfelt.
I am listening on November 4, 2024. The one year anniversary of my husband's passing. It hurts more today because I think I was numb when he passed. I love you Mark more than you will ever know, honey Bunny ❤
I'm a 76 year old. I listen to Josh all the time. This song speaks to my heart. Especially when I'm going through tough times. Been a Grobanite for some years. Thanks Josh.
This video is timeless. Even though it was made twenty years ago, or sometime close to then, it brings tears to my eyes. Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics to "You Raise Me Up"?
It's Easter weekend..I am not Christian but I went to a Catholic school named after St.Patrick for 12 years...I needed to hear something that is a reminder of the solemnity of Lent and it's joyous conclusion. Josh Groban comes through..thank you dear Mr.Groban. A blessed Easter to all.
He is Indeed amazing, just can't stop listening to his songs, you seem to like his music alot, I can tell from your comment, he will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate him so dearly....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there ???
@@peteronward5410 Thank you ..I am doing better than other people in India right now..it's going to take some time for the Corona situation to turn around.. hearing about a lot of tragedy.We locked down for one year for nothing good, because only now we are facing the brunt of the storm.

@@peteronward5410 I love Josh .... I wish the world would love me ... I am the very best harmonica player in the whole wide world .... How do I know??? I represent the very best harmonica player in the WHOLE Universe .... My Jesus "The master player of all Harmonicas, BUT "the East:Top Harmonicas" ....I repeat.... BUT "the East:Top Harmonicas" "IS" the very best harmonica in the whole world! (I don't play the Blues style of playing the harmonica .... because .... every blues player sounds the very same, very noisy noisey to my ears .... I love pure music I can enjoy alone with everyone that has a mind to think. Like Republican that vote for Trump!!!!!!!
Growing up, my grandma would play this all the time during long drives when we would head up north. My grandma passed away a few years ago, it didn’t hit me first when I lost my grandma in a car accident, and then when the funeral happened, they played this song and I literally cried my eyes out because I had a flash of memories come before my eyes to losing an amazing grandma, who was there for everything and was great support. Music is very powerful. EDIT; it's been close to 9 years since I lost her, i'm thankful for her. and i'm thankful for all the love i've gotten from here. It's helped me a lot over the years. I still miss her a lot and always try to visit her grave as much as I can.
@@aleysha4766 many belong into all kind of religious cults yet serving the one and the same; BAAL, but ONLY CHRISTIANS - new creatures in CHRIST shall be in heaven. There is choosing based on free will, GOD OR MAMMON? Who are we? - old wicked sinners in BAAL or born again - new creatures in CHRIST?
I almost cry whenever I hear this song, it feels like God is with me and beside me, I remember my ups and downs in life and how I cope up by praying to God. My faith to Him will not fade away until my last breath, Thank you God
My favorite thing about this song is that it means something different to each person who listens to it. To me it is religious and represents my relationship with God. To someone else it may describe their relationship with a family member or friend. *My point is that a lot of people can take something from this song, and I feel like it brings us together as humans.* and that is something that truly makes me happy. 😊
kayla cc Kayla, you worded that SO perfectly! Thank you! May I say to the crafty guy, your wording to Kayla, "I'm not calling you stupid but if Santa doesn't exist...God doesn't either..." And this makes perfect sense...HOW? Someone else in this conversation may need to consider at least what they said stupid, if not themself! Also, for Heaven's sake LEARN TO SPELL!!!
the crafty guy Santa has no evidence of existence, however there is undeniable proof of a creator, matter cannot give rise to information, and DNA is an information source, therefore you need ultra advanced aliens that came from aliens that came from aliens.. Infinitely, to have planted that information on earth, or you would have needed God, or gods, those are your two options.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I went through very tough times and Josh’ voice singing this song touches me deeply every time I hear it. I am not religious - but it’s the magic of the words combined with Josh’ voice Thank you Josh
This song got me through extremely dark times. The imagery of Jesus raising me up is so powerful and moving. I am brought to tears every time I listen to this song. Jesus’s love blasts through Josh’s words to our hearts.
hows it going, bro Psalm 118:8-9 “8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. 9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.” Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. *IF* anyone is interested, read on. *NOTE:* I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves. Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what people deem “irrational.” Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that. I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet) james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of. religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27) *NOW, ONTO THE EVIDENCE!! (WHOO-HOO)* We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other related findings. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite on UA-cam). more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on) The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) The idea that the Earth floated in space was concocted circa 500 BC. Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on. Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC. Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC. This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless. So you know how the Euphrates River is drying up? Well, guess what? People in the Bible are saying: “Been there, done that.” Read on to learn more. Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.” Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.” How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz. *NOW FOR EVIDENCE OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE* The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now. Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well *YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES* also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who-privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt. *There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:* Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion; Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ “Christians,” confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command; Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers; Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son); Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified; Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers; (See cold-case Christianity for more details) Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection: 1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (even the disciples thought Jesus would never make the ultimate comeback) 2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs 3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (The disciples deserted Him, remember? They didn’t have any help. Everyone said, “Crucify Him!” major L to those opposed to Jesus) 4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone (they would have to break that off; there were well-trained Roman guards there as well). 5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus). 6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback. They were called to not be liars. I mean, they hung out with the Son of God/God in the flesh. Come on, now). faith, science, and reason, people (as we all know them today, and as it was before all those things were tarnished) hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away. repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down." I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do. *YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES!* It’s a pit you *CAN NOT* get out of. *AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS!* He is, to quote Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also *WAY* better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! God knew and knows we are wack, but He decides He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot. hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general
My 84 year old friend is on hospice , she loves your music,and everyday I put your music to her ear. It won’t be long but at least she can hear your voice till the end. 😢
My grandma is dying, this is her favorite artist. She was like a little girl with how much she loved Josh. She was a part of his fan club and all. I used to hate this song as she would blast it all the time. She used to tell me “now this is real music, not your hippity hop sh*t” and here I am listening to this in her honor. I love you grandma Juni.
Im sorry for your loss,this is the song i sang before both of my grandfathers's died,this was such an important song to me and thousands of ppl. R.I.P, i still remember singing this song at the church after my grandfather's (my mom's dad) funeral Also me singing this to my other grandfather (my dad's dad) while he was in bed before he died a few months after my mom's dad died, its hard to have both of your grandfather's die on both side of the family..
Many have sung this piece but this is the most moving fully symphonic version I’ve ever heard. Do I even have to point out the chorus! They sweep me off my feet. Thank you for your brilliant arrangement and performance Josh. You’re an angel lent to us by the heavens for a little while. Please live and sing for at least another century
September 2024, anyone? Thank you Abba Father, for raising me up every single day. You are my strength when I'm weak. You are everything to me. I would be lost without you. Trust God my brothers and sisters! Love from the Bahamas 🇧🇸
My son Adam who is five ears old and blind has been listening to to this song since he was born. He requests this song everyday. I myself love it since he raises me up everyday. Love it.
You can use eyebright, bilberry and Lutein helps for the eyes. Put the word health benefits of eyebright for each one of those and you'll get the meaning of what it is?
I lost my beautiful wife last year, She just love this song.she was 92 yrs old and miss her so much, so I listen to this song and see her in the chair listening to Josh just sing. tears in my eyes. but I know she is listening also.An Angel in Heven......
Not for me. Screw that bastard for putting half the worlds population in misery. Why do hungry children serve a purpose? Suffering people all around the world and you're claiming that he's gracious? I don't know if he's real or not but if it's all true, he's a very cruel man or woman and not one that I admire.
Not for me. Screw that bastard for putting half the worlds population in misery. What is the purpose of starving children? If god is real, I don't admire him or her.
He sings like he really believes every beautiful sound that come out of his mouth! Really breathtaking. Also a wonderful human being! God bless Josh Grobin❤️🙏✝️❤️
I’ve just lost my 91 y/o husband and two days later my 63y/o son died too. So many people over the years have commented that I’m such a strong woman. I know in my own strength I’m definitely not but tonight these words had new meaning to me and I now understand where my strength lies. I have always known that but I have never felt the weakness and frailty such as I am this week and these words seemed to perfectly describe my need for the Heavenly Father’s strength raising me up.
I totally understand where you are coming fyom. I am 70 back in hospital with my COPD. Feeling frail and vulnerable atm. I’m always there for others and bern told ftom anout 7 years old you are a strong person. I’ve always believed my strength comes from within g myself but I know I rely very heavenly on my Heavenly Father to support me and raise me as he sees got. I just wonder how much longer and how much more I can take. Then I see or speak or get a hug from my grand children or if so lucky my great grandchildren. And I know he lives through them too. Even if they don’t fully understand that themselves yet. I know he walks amongst us. Trying his best for humanity. But it’s not an easy world yo love and understand sometimes. But keep your faith and listen to music that feeds and soothes your found GOD BLESS YOU AND WALK BESIDES😮 YOU.
Bless your heart. That's a lot of loss. Some people think strength is clenching our fists and never letting them see you sweat. Strength for me is allowing myself to be vulnerable. That's when love can get in and help you heal. I raise my hand to God, and I ask for help. That's what he's there for.
I lost my way a long time ago and have recently tried to reconnect with and rebuild my relationship with God, this song is an amazing reminder that He will always lift us up even if we do not realize it's happening. May everyone reading this have an amazing day
God bless you man, thank you so much man. Im going through something similar, so when I read this I started crying . I can barely see what I'm typing i'm crying so much haha
Oh honey God bless you too! I lost my mom 3 years ago! She would of been 89 in November! We were so very close! I was depressed for so long! She was wonderful! Now I'm better because God brought me back to life!!!! I love you mom and I miss you and dad! But I play a harp for anyone who wants to listen❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I lost my husband of 50 years not long ago. This recording of Mr. Groban gives me the strength to go forward remembering our life together and how we lifted each other up during hard times.
This song brought me through raising 3 children alone, caring for Mom with Alzheimers and working 13 days on, one day off for 7 years. One dreary , early dark winter's day, I was driving, feeling I couldn't go on any longer with my burdens when this song came on the car radio. All of a sudden tears were blinding my drive, so I pulled over and cried the cry of a lifetime. This song reminded me I did not have to walk alone anymore. I'll be forever grateful this song came at such a time. Thank you, God.... and Josh Groban.
@joshgroban673 I have been a fan since early 2000's. Since, Mom has passed, the children are married, with their own. Today, I am retired, enjoying my family and Grandchildren. Thank you for your comment and the beautiful song that gave me faith to carry on.
Aloha to you LInda....all the way from the Islands of Aloha Hawaii USA. Mahalo for sharing your story with us! You are a true inspiration that it can be done through Perseverance. WE all at some point have tough moments, tough experience, but we must learn to rise above it all. Once again, I loved reading your message as I listen to this song, this early morning here on the beautiful Island of O'ahu-Hawaii USA. Have an amazing retirement and if you have never been to the Islands of Aloha, do visit. It is one of those places that one must visit at least ONCE. I was blessed to have come here 30 years to work in the medical field and I never left....fell completely in Love with the Island of Aloha. If you do come, let me know. If would be a great experience to meet the lady behind an awesome story. Warmest aloha, Xavier
Its Wednesday morning, October 3, 2018 and I am a 30 year old man in the military getting ready to marry the love of my life and she has asked me to look for a song for me and my mother to dance to. Here I am at 7:15 a.m. after my shift sobbing listening to this song thinking of all the things she has done for me. THIS is the beauty of music. Josh Groban, thank you sir.
GOD knows you are tired. Don't give up. Your breakthrough is just around the corner. You are transitioning into a new season! You will end the year strong and victorious in the Name of Jesus.
I just lost my dad this morning, and I needed this song. He made me who I am. Update: Wow. I am humbled by the love and support. My heart goes out to all of you that have also lost a loved one. My dad lives on in the memories, but I miss his jokes, his laugh, his advise, hearing him say "Love you, Buckwheat" etc..
This was my mom's favorite song and she would close her eyes and let it wash over her when she played the CD. We played it at her funeral 9 years ago. This is the first time I have allowed myself to play it since then. I held her in my arms when she died. It cuts me raw to listen to this song because I miss her more than words can say. Beautiful woman, I will see you again someday. For now, I still grieve.
This song has to make all the angels in heaven stop and listen. They desire so much to know some things only we humans can know and experience in our lives her on earth
Josh Grobanis such a blessing. The young man who accompanies him is also a blessing. I would like to hear an entire album of his songs. Thank you for the beautiful music.
I am watching this video and the tears are pouring down my face. The Lord has put me on His shoulders, and gave me a Dad who was my greatest fan and encourager before he went to his Creator, followed by my lovely younger brother who was just like him. I miss them so much. Thank you Josh Groban for this timeless song.
I also cry everytime I hear this song. I lost Dad in 2004 played at his funeral.🙏💙😢 MOM requested it for her funeral also when time comes. BEAUTIFUL song.🙏😀❤
I was 5 years old when I lost my grandmother to cancer. This was her favourite song and we played it at her funeral. Even to this day as I’m 18 I turn back to this song when I’m stressed or depressed because it makes me feel like I right back there in her supportive arms.
you literaly have no education or valid basis do you even know the history of this song the music industry you lack the neccassary intelligence to dishonor this songs originator
He sings it amazingly and gets people in their emotions. No matter whose original song it is he can still give u shivers and bring tears to your eyes. Each generation has a song like this that becomes a new hot. Why tear them down. This was a beautiful and amazing composition of this song
This was the song my son choose for our dance at his wedding and we both cried all the way through it because I knew all the great memories we had of his growing up years. He knew the sacrifices that I had made to be sure he had a good childhood and got him started in his adult life. I would do it all over again a thousand times. My three boys were my pride and joy.
@@frostvg1535 Just to let you know, I raised them by myself as their father and I divorced. Sometimes I had to work full time and two part time jobs but they got through college and all are successful but I lost my middle son to cancer two months ago. My heart is broken but I know that he is in Heaven. I’m just grateful that I could be their mother and to know what love was and how to give it to them. Also, I never spoke bad of their father and they respect him and I hope me for it. Thank you for your comment.
When I'm at my lowest point in my life I listen to this song because it lifts my spirits and reminds me my God has always been there for me to raise me up from whatever trails in my life.✝️
True, when ever I look back at my life and see only one set of footprints, that's when the Lord was carrying me. He never abandoned me, even when I was lost.
@@principevanessa9974 That is 100% NOT TRUE to say God never judges. He absolutely does. He is literally the ultimate judge. He even tells Christian's that they can judge other (righteously) according to His word.
It's 3:18AM feeling so broken and I can't stop listening to this song, am seated in silence waiting for God, I know He's watching over me and He hears.
Did the sun rise? The dawning of the new day is Gods gift for your strength and faith. Although difficult, summon your strength and rise confidant that you can do all things through he who strengthens you.
This was played at my grandpas funeral, what a blessing to hear this now. Makes me feel stronger, praying for everyone listening to this due to pain and loss.
I lost my grandad a couple months ago to pneumonia and I know your pain try to stay stong and don't give up theirs always hope and if you need someone to talk to I'm here 😁👍🏼stay strong I have faith in you 💪🏼have a good day
@RANA RAYYAN MOHAMMAD RANA RAYYAN MOHAMMAD awww I'm so sorry to hear that my friend just try your best to keep pushing through it man I have faith in you
June 19 my mom passed away and this song reminds me of how strong a woman she was up until she couldn't get out of bed. She raised us 8 children plus 4 of my father and she raised us to be strong and accept that life is not a guarantee but it is a gift to teach us to help thy neighbors and love one another with respect.. Love you mom .. Until I hold you in my arms again.
When I sing this song I feel my Lord listening. I think about the Psalms -“come before Him with Thanksgiving and into His courts with praise”. Praise and thanksgiving is all that I have for a loving and forgiving King I love you Lord.
What a beautiful voice and song. God is amazing and can lift us up when we are down Sometimes we are our worst enemy, but he's there every second watching over me and you.
Dorian Well if this helps, I believe with all my heart that Josh Groban is a satanist and I know for a fact that he served as a psyops specialist with the Army's 5th Special Forces a few years ago.
interesting that everyone is saying they want this played at their funeral, I want this to be my first dance in my wedding... I think it's a great song for newlywed couples.
Candice Bizzell I wanted “You we’re always on my mind” by Willie when I married in 1984, as my first dance , they refused because they thought it was sad, don’t let anyone tell you they won’t play it, it is your day. I ended up playing it as his funeral, bad choice, should have been the wedding for the meaning it had for us.
I love this hymn so much. When I was young and my family's house burned down, other children in my class at school made fun of me because of the used clothes that a charity in town brought out for us. Those clothing were a gift to my parents, as they were in debt having to build another house for my family. My classmates didn't want to sit beside me, because I was the poor kid on the block. This beautiful hymn, "You Raise Me Up When I Am Down", along with others we sang at Church lifted me up to be a child of God Almighty. That Music was what I most needed at one of the most critical times in my young life.

People in the Bible are saying: “Been there, done that.” Read on to learn more. Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.” Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.” How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz. *NOW FOR EVIDENCE OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE* The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now. Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well *YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES* also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who-privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt. *There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:* Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion; Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ “Christians,” confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command; Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers; Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son); Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified; Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers; (See cold-case Christianity for more details) Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection: 1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (even the disciples thought Jesus would never make the ultimate comeback) 2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs 3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (The disciples deserted Him, remember?

Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus). 6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback. They were called to not be liars. I mean, they hung out with the Son of God/God in the flesh. Come on, now). faith, science, and reason, people (as we all know them today, and as it was before all those things were tarnished) hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general
Wow! 🤩, very touchy and inspiring. God has been faithful since I lost my dear wife to the cold hands of cancer 6yrs ago. I'm sending hugs from Houston, Tx. Cheers! 🥂
This was apparently one of my father’s favourite songs. I lost him 15 years ago, when I was 11 years ago. It has helped me get through so much, and I hope it helps other kids as well. I just wanted to come here, not just to tell people how amazing this song is, but that life will always, 100%, get better. No matter what. You got this. I believe in you ❤️
This song is so beautiful and perfect. We need music like this in our lives instead of what the world throws at us. I cried listening to this song and it was played at my grandfather's funeral as well. God is great and he has a beautiful purpose for each and every one of us. Just like Josh Groban was meant to sing this song. Blessings to you all! 👏🏻🎚✨
DG Spectral II - Yes, God blessed Josh with an amazing gift. I pray his voice will continue to sing the type of songs he writes. There is great beauty behind his words. I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I'll never forget when I lost mine. Take reference in knowing that he's up in Heaven with our Lord and Savior.🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
What are you babbling on about? The "world" threw this garbage at you and you caught it. As did millions of others. I hear the most evil cliched music, the most banal lyric its possible to eke out of a dictionary and a voice and presence so offensively non-charismatic and bland I want to puke... you don't. Be happy.
When I hear this song it reminds me of all the people I've lost over my life. I carry their strength with me and never forget how they made me the person I am today.
Omg I needed this my sweet beloved daddy passed away on 11/08/24 and I'm so lossed and broken with out him and this just reminds be of him he raised be to be strong independent women and so much more love you daddy ❤️
It's almost unexplainable, the joy I feel watching and listening to this song every time. How fortunate I am, to be alive and able to experience the magic comfort this song gives anytime you listen to it. There are no words to express how genuine and beautiful this sound is over the years even in 2022. Josh is totally a great man and artist, no one will take that from him. I pray long life and blooming talent to you Josh. Thanks for not forgetting your fans during this journey, i really appreciate the fact that you spent little time with us on Skype the other day! thank you for all you do great man....💝💝💝💝💝
This song has single handedly kept me afloat through my depression for literally months. Thank you Josh Groban for performing this flawless record. I would love to be part of this group pls...
My parents passed away last year from covid and one of the last songs my mom had in her search history was this.. these words speak true to them ,how they were always there for my siblings and I . Put us first and gave us unconditional love 💔🕊️
Sorry for your loss and my father passed about the same time But, I feel he is with me many times; his words, his character and his love for our family and others have taught me much to help others when I can because that's what he did
My Mum passed 2 years April coming not easy you don't forget. But smile remembering the good times . Circle of life love we have to make room for the young ones but the old are always there with us they are part of us ❤️.Big hig x
Praying for our nation during this trying time. I'm dying, and thru it all, the angels and our Lord have been beside me. No Earthly presence has held my nhand or carried me. GOD HAS
May God continue to comfort you and hold you in His loving hands! I am praying for you to have peace, maybe even be able to forgive those who left you alone and did bad things to you. Obviously I don''t know your exact situation, but possibly it helps to speak to somebody from your local church about it.
Lori, I’m saddened that you are dying. We all will die too. This is not our home. Our home is in Heaven with our Lord, our redeemer and Saviour. Our life here on earth is short and the meaning of life is to follow Him and await patiently until He calls us home. In Heaven there is no illness, sorrow, nor tribulations but joy to be with our God. Rejoice in the Lord and know that He loves you more than any person can here on earth. Even if we have lots of friends, married with children, and have parents, no one can replace God. He walks with us daily and when we are going through pain, depression, illnesses, etc. He is the only one that will never abandon you, He will walk with you daily, hold your hand, and he is carrying you right now. No one on earth will love you like He does and He will never disappoint you. When each of us die, that journey is undertaken with Him alone. If you have God with you, you realize you are not alone. I will keep you in my prayers, so here on earth I’m your friend. I hope this consoles you.
I’m here for you, I have sent a Host of Angels to help and guide you. All you have to do is Believe, if God be for me who and be against me. you are special to Jesus. Ann from Ireland.
Two years ago, when my dad was nearing the end of his life, I’d sing this song to him and Dad would always squeeze my hand in response to hearing this song. At Dad’s funeral, this was one of the songs that we played. I still think of my dad every time that I hear this song.
Yes you are so right. Your dad will always be with you it doesnt matter where or when. I lost my Dad when i was 6 years old. I am 53 now and i have always felt he has been with me in the Best and The Worst and i have always passed his energy to my Teenage Son. 👍👍👍
My little Brother loved this song and found such encouragement in it. Now he’s in Heaven, and I’m here listening for that same encouragement he sought. This song is absolutely beautiful! If anyone should happen to read this, I want you to know that I know it’s been a long, hard couple of years. And I want you to know that you are loved! I’m praying for everyone of my fellow human beings! ♥️ May God bless you and your families!
Thank you so much.🌹 I'm sorry for your loss of your brother💔 but you will see him again one day in Heaven I know. I wish you God's many blessings in return! And a happy New Year. 🙏💙🌟💙🙏
My Dad past away in January. We couldn't be with him in the hospital because of covid. The doctors and nurses played this for him at the end. Its my morning ritual to listen every morning and talk to my Dad. Miss him so it hurts so bad. He was the BEST father. I'm everything I am because of him. 🙏❤️🙏❤️ Still listening every day. ❤ Years later still here. Missing my Dad 💜🙏😢 Oct. 2024
I havnt seen my father in 10 years. 2/3 of my life he hasn’t been there for me. One of the memories I have with him was this song playing on the radio whilst we drove to a camping site. Ever since than this song has meant so much to me.
He hasn’t been there for you because he knows he is important to you and that he is special to you and you have lots of his love with you so he believed that you could love without contact.
My mother passed in 2017 and years before she asked for us to play this song and it was the most heartbreaking song, still can’t listen without bawling like a big ol baby Jan. 30, 2023
@@michaelcollins8328 We had a great relationship. She was the best person I’ve ever met. She would do anything for anybody. Thank you for your comment.
@@bridgetackerman8512 Then you were very fortunate. My mother was a very mean person who took delight in telling me and my brother we were not wanted. When she died, neither of us went to her funeral because we did not care what happened to her.
My mother recently passed away and I often think about her and how she raised me as a child. She's the strongest person I've ever known and now I'm stronger than ever.
We got to appreciate those who we have before it's too late. She may not be here physically, but spiritually she is watching over you. Protecting you and loving you.
We played this song at my mother's funeral a couple of weeks ago. I just turned 40 six days before she passed. I cried like a baby. Josh Groban's voice can pull emotion out of you that you never thought possible. I'll always be a fan. I miss my mom. 😢
I miss my mother too 😢 3 yes still hurts. Jesus promised that he go to prepare a play. That where here he is we may be there also. He tell us to Let not our heart be troubled. That we believe in God believe also in him. No man come to the Father but by Jesus he is the way the truth and the life. Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present we with the lord. Talk to Jesus he loves you . He got you.❤❤❤❤❤😊
when i was down, i was listening to his songs and felt much better.now i laugh at myself but back then Josh Groban music helped me to go through the darkest moments.I was dancing to his music and it kept me going.hope he will come to UK
in the video clip the could put in kids in need to tell everyone that we are the same and with support everything is possible even in people with needs
What an uplifting song laying in my hospital bed waiting for an emergency surgery .i am so impressed with all the hospital staff working here so they can save lives. The Coronavirus has elevated us to fully respect how hard they have to work in these crazy times. It’s like someone hit the slow motion button of life.
This came out just before my cancer diagnosis. This song helped me get through 14 months of treatment. That was 18 yrs ago. It still gives me goosebumps. I am not a religious person but I am spiritual.
I'm a single mom, and raising my baby boy all alone. This song gives me strength. I love him so much and I will never leave him until I die & I know my baby will be a good boy.
This is such a spiritual song that it takes my breath away! When I am down and weary who promises to come and sit a while with me? Jesus says, "I will never leave you or forsake you". He is never too busy to come to me like some others. When I turn to Jesus in my weakness; He lifts me up on His shoulders like a loving father with their little one at a parade. Then I can be more than I ever could have been on my own. He enables me to "stand on impossible mountains that enter my life and still the stormy seas that so frequently trouble my life. I wonder if others see Jesus in this song the way I do? I hope so!
I raised my kids by myself, I will never forget the day my Son played this song for me. Today he is married with 2 children of his own and just got a promotion at work. I cry every-time I hear this song.
@Boo I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me. How are you doing today?
Congratulations Mom! You are a real hero!🎉🎉🎉❤

Just had a service for my aunty who was 97, and this song just moved me to tears. This helped me to let go of sadness, and I knew JESUS was right there telling me it's OK. Thank you for this precious song. Your voice is so heartfelt.
Damn Jesus must’ve been quite a creep for being in a stranger’s room
May Your Auntie Rest in Peace 🙏
What a terrible thing to say 😢
@@Rapradawow, thanks for being an asshole.
God bless you im 90
I am listening on November 4, 2024. The one year anniversary of my husband's passing. It hurts more today because I think I was numb when he passed. I love you Mark more than you will ever know, honey Bunny ❤
😢😢😢
I am so sorry for your loss.
May the Lord comfort you and give your heart peace.
I'm really sorry
I love this song I'm 14 I heard this song ♥️♥️😫

This guy’s voice is possibly the best I’ve ever heard the clarity and tone is perfect..
Thank you 100
I ❤this song!
And frequency!!! His low bass voice reminds me of how the gates of other universe would sound!!!
His brother Andy had more potential but was a disappointment to his dad.
Dude is ridiculous talented and he seems like a good guy aswell
I'm a 76 year old. I listen to Josh all the time. This song speaks to my heart. Especially when I'm going through tough times. Been a Grobanite for some years. Thanks Josh.
This video is timeless. Even though it was made twenty years ago, or sometime close to then, it brings tears to my eyes. Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics to "You Raise Me Up"?
@@jeaniew4466 Originally written and sung by the duo Secret Garden, which is how I first came across it.
when I am alone....its my favorite song and I like it so much!!!!
..
Wow 76 and you still have great taste in music well done may you grow in gods grace.
🥰
It's Easter weekend..I am not Christian but I went to a Catholic school named after St.Patrick for 12 years...I needed to hear something that is a reminder of the solemnity of Lent and it's joyous conclusion.
Josh Groban comes through..thank you dear Mr.Groban. A blessed Easter to all.
He is Indeed amazing, just can't stop listening to his songs, you seem to like his music alot, I can tell from your comment, he will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate him so dearly....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there ???
@@peteronward5410 Thank you ..I am doing better than other people in India right now..it's going to take some time for the Corona situation to turn around.. hearing about a lot of tragedy.We locked down for one year for nothing good, because only now we are facing the brunt of the storm.

BUT "the East:Top Harmonicas" "IS" the very best harmonica in the whole world! (I don't play the Blues style of playing the harmonica .... because .... every blues player sounds the very same, very noisy noisey to my ears .... I love pure music I can enjoy alone with everyone that has a mind to think. Like Republican that vote for Trump!!!!!!!
I’m not even Christian, I just love Josh Groban. His voice is PERFECT. Get it KING.
Growing up, my grandma would play this all the time during long drives when we would head up north. My grandma passed away a few years ago, it didn’t hit me first when I lost my grandma in a car accident, and then when the funeral happened, they played this song and I literally cried my eyes out because I had a flash of memories come before my eyes to losing an amazing grandma, who was there for everything and was great support. Music is very powerful.
EDIT; it's been close to 9 years since I lost her, i'm thankful for her. and i'm thankful for all the love i've gotten from here. It's helped me a lot over the years. I still miss her a lot and always try to visit her grave as much as I can.
Ghost Killer Entertainment Do u know roblox play it pls 😳😀😄
That must've been a very hard part of your life
HyperPlays ! It was hard since we didn’t talked for a year and didn’t see her much and it hit me hard I didn’t see her much before that happened.
that would've sucked i feel sorry

@@aleysha4766 many belong into all kind of religious cults yet serving the one and the same; BAAL, but ONLY CHRISTIANS - new creatures in CHRIST shall be in heaven.
There is choosing based on free will, GOD OR MAMMON?
Who are we? - old wicked sinners in BAAL or born again - new creatures in CHRIST?
I almost cry whenever I hear this song, it feels like God is with me and beside me, I remember my ups and downs in life and how I cope up by praying to God. My faith to Him will not fade away until my last breath, Thank you God
I listen to this incredible song everty night before going to bed…it makes me feel like God is holding my hand.
@@tonipalavis7536 indeed he is ❤
How beautifully written!
I was sure this song is about GOD until I have seen this video. Absolutely unsuitable for song.
Amen and amen.
My favorite thing about this song is that it means something different to each person who listens to it. To me it is religious and represents my relationship with God.
To someone else it may describe their relationship with a family member or friend.
*My point is that a lot of people can take something from this song, and I feel like it brings us together as humans.* and that is something that truly makes me happy. 😊
Very true!
Stupid. We all know it means shrek
Christopher Quintanilla that is because it is not ogre yet
kayla cc Kayla, you worded that SO perfectly! Thank you! May I say to the crafty guy, your wording to Kayla, "I'm not calling you stupid but if Santa doesn't exist...God doesn't either..." And this makes perfect sense...HOW? Someone else in this conversation may need to consider at least what they said stupid, if not themself! Also, for Heaven's sake LEARN TO SPELL!!!
the crafty guy Santa has no evidence of existence, however there is undeniable proof of a creator, matter cannot give rise to information, and DNA is an information source, therefore you need ultra advanced aliens that came from aliens that came from aliens.. Infinitely, to have planted that information on earth, or you would have needed God, or gods, those are your two options.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I went through very tough times and Josh’ voice singing this song touches me deeply every time I hear it. I am not religious - but it’s the magic of the words combined with Josh’ voice
Thank you Josh
Yeah 🥲
Right now looking at the world we all need to seek Christ more than ever!
This song got me through extremely dark times. The imagery of Jesus raising me up is so powerful and moving. I am brought to tears every time I listen to this song. Jesus’s love blasts through Josh’s words to our hearts.
hows it going, bro
Psalm 118:8-9
“8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.”
Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. *IF* anyone is interested, read on.
*NOTE:* I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves.
Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what people deem “irrational.” Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that.
I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet)
james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
*NOW, ONTO THE EVIDENCE!! (WHOO-HOO)*
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other related findings. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite on UA-cam).
more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on)
The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) The idea that the Earth floated in space was concocted circa 500 BC. Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on.
Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC.
Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC
Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC.
This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless. So you know how the Euphrates River is drying up? Well, guess what? People in the Bible are saying: “Been there, done that.” Read on to learn more.
Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.”
Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz.
*NOW FOR EVIDENCE OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE*
The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well
*YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES*
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who-privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
*There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:*
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ “Christians,” confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command;
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers;
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son);
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified;
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers;
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (even the disciples thought Jesus would never make the ultimate comeback)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (The disciples deserted Him, remember? They didn’t have any help. Everyone said, “Crucify Him!” major L to those opposed to Jesus)
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone (they would have to break that off; there were well-trained Roman guards there as well).
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback. They were called to not be liars. I mean, they hung out with the Son of God/God in the flesh. Come on, now).
faith, science, and reason, people (as we all know them today, and as it was before all those things were tarnished)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do.
*YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES!* It’s a pit you *CAN NOT* get out of. *AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS!* He is, to quote Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also *WAY* better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO!
God knew and knows we are wack, but He decides He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.

My 84 year old friend is on hospice , she loves your music,and everyday I put your music to her ear. It won’t be long but at least she can hear your voice till the end. 😢
My grandma is dying, this is her favorite artist. She was like a little girl with how much she loved Josh. She was a part of his fan club and all. I used to hate this song as she would blast it all the time. She used to tell me “now this is real music, not your hippity hop sh*t” and here I am listening to this in her honor. I love you grandma Juni.
Im sorry for your loss,this is the song i sang before both of my grandfathers's died,this was such an important song to me and thousands of ppl. R.I.P, i still remember singing this song at the church after my grandfather's (my mom's dad) funeral
Also me singing this to my other grandfather (my dad's dad) while he was in bed before he died a few months after my mom's dad died, its hard to have both of your grandfather's die on both side of the family..
I pray that Jesus wraps his arms around her , dealing with death is never easy , but don't lose hope just yet

Sara that’s exactly why I came here😔😭
Ikr same here 💔 i just heard it by accident and it remind me to my mom 😭
Let us be sad together😔
Deal 💔
This is so true
Many have sung this piece but this is the most moving fully symphonic version I’ve ever heard. Do I even have to point out the chorus! They sweep me off my feet. Thank you for your brilliant arrangement and performance Josh. You’re an angel lent to us by the heavens for a little while. Please live and sing for at least another century
YES! EXACTLY! LOVE!
Amo sua música sou do Brasil
He's the original. :)
September 2024, anyone? Thank you Abba Father, for raising me up every single day. You are my strength when I'm weak. You are everything to me. I would be lost without you. Trust God my brothers and sisters! Love from the Bahamas 🇧🇸
Amen.
True to tears!!!!
I played this song as my Dad was dying, it is so beautiful. It means so much, and made me feel connected to my Father at that difficult time.
0:35
So sorry for your loss.
There's always hope and gratitude
Sorry for your loss rest in peace 🥺🌹💕🙏
I want to sing this to my child in public before I pass.
My son Adam who is five ears old and blind has been listening to to this song since he was born. He requests this song everyday. I myself love it since he raises me up everyday. Love it.
How did your son go blind? what cause it?
You can use eyebright, bilberry and Lutein helps for the eyes. Put the word health benefits of eyebright for each one of those and you'll get the meaning of what it is?
Read Psalms 121 verse 1 and 2
So good also did you see **Margie Chadburn**** Love Blind
We all need to he uplifted from time to time.
I lost my beautiful wife last year, She just love this song.she was 92 yrs old and miss her so much, so I listen to this song and see her in the chair listening to Josh just sing. tears in my eyes. but I know she is listening also.An Angel in Heven......
Wr are not angels
We are created in His image, Adam.
Angels are a different creation
Lei sta sicuramente ascoltando...
I am so sorry for your sadness. You are bonded for all eternity. She waits.
So sorry for your loss. Peace and blessings.
God bless you Dusty she is out of pain in a much greater Place she's probably reading the Bible and playing cards with my mom
Nobody in this world could tell me God doesn't exist. God is gracious and forgiving
Not for me. Screw that bastard for putting half the worlds population in misery. Why do hungry children serve a purpose? Suffering people all around the world and you're claiming that he's gracious? I don't know if he's real or not but if it's all true, he's a very cruel man or woman and not one that I admire.
Not for me. Screw that bastard for putting half the worlds population in misery. What is the purpose of starving children? If god is real, I don't admire him or her.
@Deborah I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me. How are you doing today? It’s nice to meet you on here.
He sings like he really believes every beautiful sound that come out of his mouth! Really breathtaking. Also a wonderful human being! God bless Josh Grobin❤️🙏✝️❤️

I’ve just lost my 91 y/o husband and two days later my 63y/o son died too. So many people over the years have commented that I’m such a strong woman. I know in my own strength I’m definitely not but tonight these words had new meaning to me and I now understand where my strength lies. I have always known that but I have never felt the weakness and frailty such as I am this week and these words seemed to perfectly describe my need for the Heavenly Father’s strength raising me up.
Just saw this tonight...praying for you right now from the Midwest.
Be comforted by the beauty of Josh Groban's angelic voice and know that you are not alone. God loves you
Prayers
I totally understand where you are coming fyom. I am 70 back in hospital with my COPD. Feeling frail and vulnerable atm. I’m always there for others and bern told ftom anout 7 years old you are a strong person. I’ve always believed my strength comes from within g myself but I know I rely very heavenly on my Heavenly Father to support me and raise me as he sees got. I just wonder how much longer and how much more I can take. Then I see or speak or get a hug from my grand children or if so lucky my great grandchildren. And I know he lives through them too. Even if they don’t fully understand that themselves yet. I know he walks amongst us. Trying his best for humanity. But it’s not an easy world yo love and understand sometimes. But keep your faith and listen to music that feeds and soothes your found GOD BLESS YOU AND WALK BESIDES😮 YOU.
Bless your heart. That's a lot of loss. Some people think strength is clenching our fists and never letting them see you sweat. Strength for me is allowing myself to be vulnerable. That's when love can get in and help you heal. I raise my hand to God, and I ask for help. That's what he's there for.
This song calms your spirit, especially if you are going through a trial or just feeling down within your self
When my Mother passed away, with cancer, I was at her bedside. This was the first song I heard after her passing. (Praise You My God!!)
So, so sorry. May God bring you healing, restoration, and joy as you reflect on her memory ❤️🙏
I played this song at my mother's funeral when she passed away 10 years ago. Josh Groban was her favorite.
I love this song to see no matter how far you down God still can raise you up .
Amen!
I'm sorry for your loss may Ur angel R.I.P amen 😢
AS LOUD AS I CAN POSSIBLY SING... “YOU RAISE ME UP” because he does, and always will God bless you all💙
I lost my way a long time ago and have recently tried to reconnect with and rebuild my relationship with God, this song is an amazing reminder that He will always lift us up even if we do not realize it's happening. May everyone reading this have an amazing day
God bless you man
God bless you!! Always remember God loves you!
God Bless you
God bless you man, thank you so much man. Im going through something similar, so when I read this I started crying . I can barely see what I'm typing i'm crying so much haha
I agree ..
I am 89 and listen to this song whenever I feel low. Beautiful and moving..
May Our Lord bless us all and bring peace to the world. Amen
Oh honey God bless you too! I lost my mom 3 years ago! She would of been 89 in November! We were so very close! I was depressed for so long! She was wonderful! Now I'm better because God brought me back to life!!!! I love you mom and I miss you and dad! But I play a harp for anyone who wants to listen❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen
Such a kind an lovely comment. Yes, we need more love and peace in this world.
May our mighty God bless you richly...
@Rochelle I’m honored to have the kind of support you show me. How are you today?
I lost my husband of 50 years not long ago. This recording of Mr. Groban gives me the strength to go forward remembering our life together and how we lifted each other up during hard times.
I am praying for you in your loss
Your husband is always there . Your guardian angel 😇 who will always protect u
Truly believe that
That's what love is all about. Bless you, Pam. Prayers for comfort and strength.
It’s Beautiful Pam, and He’s waiting on the Last Dance for You!
Stay Strong🥰🌹
This song brought me through raising 3 children alone, caring for Mom with Alzheimers and working 13 days on, one day off for 7 years.
One dreary , early dark winter's day, I was driving, feeling I couldn't go on any longer with my burdens when this song came on the car radio. All of a sudden tears were blinding my drive, so I pulled over and cried the cry of a lifetime.
This song reminded me I did not have to walk alone anymore. I'll be forever grateful this song came at such a time. Thank you, God.... and Josh Groban.
MARVELOUS SENTIMENT. Thanks for sharing ...
You are a strong woman, Linda. I am positive life will take you where you wanna go! Till then stay strong! Wishing you the best!
@joshgroban673 I have been a fan since early 2000's.
Since, Mom has passed, the children are married, with their own.
Today, I am retired, enjoying my family and Grandchildren.
Thank you for your comment and the beautiful song that gave me faith to carry on.
Aloha to you LInda....all the way from the Islands of Aloha Hawaii USA. Mahalo for sharing your story with us! You are a true inspiration that it can be done through Perseverance. WE all at some point have tough moments, tough experience, but we must learn to rise above it all. Once again, I loved reading your message as I listen to this song, this early morning here on the beautiful Island of O'ahu-Hawaii USA.
Have an amazing retirement and if you have never been to the Islands of Aloha, do visit. It is one of those places that one must visit at least ONCE. I was blessed to have come here 30 years to work in the medical field and I never left....fell completely in Love with the Island of Aloha. If you do come, let me know. If would be a great experience to meet the lady behind an awesome story.
Warmest aloha,
Xavier
Yes, God said " I will never leave you or forsake you." God bless😊
Its Wednesday morning, October 3, 2018 and I am a 30 year old man in the military getting ready to marry the love of my life and she has asked me to look for a song for me and my mother to dance to. Here I am at 7:15 a.m. after my shift sobbing listening to this song thinking of all the things she has done for me. THIS is the beauty of music. Josh Groban, thank you sir.
It was Wednesday, my dudes.
Thank you for your service.
Congratulations Sir.

Update: Wow. I am humbled by the love and support. My heart goes out to all of you that have also lost a loved one. My dad lives on in the memories, but I miss his jokes, his laugh, his advise, hearing him say "Love you, Buckwheat" etc..
May the Lord comfort you my dear. Am sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss my friend. Please be strong!
He’s not gone. He’s still with you. You are going to have the most amazing transformation. Wait for it.... he’s guiding you
Sorry

This was my mom's favorite song and she would close her eyes and let it wash over her when she played the CD. We played it at her funeral 9 years ago. This is the first time I have allowed myself to play it since then. I held her in my arms when she died. It cuts me raw to listen to this song because I miss her more than words can say. Beautiful woman, I will see you again someday. For now, I still grieve.
❤️
It minister to my heart ithink about my relationship with thelord Jesus Christ
I’m so sorry for your loss
This song has to make all the angels in heaven stop and listen. They desire so much to know some things only we humans can know and experience in our lives her on earth
♥️
Josh Grobanis such a blessing. The young man who accompanies him is also a blessing. I would like to hear an entire album of his songs. Thank you for the beautiful music.
May 2024, Groban made a masterpiece that will be listened to as long as we are able.
Rolf Løvland made it for Secret Garden... Josh Groban made a good cover version
It's November 2024. I'm not well. I'm listening to inspirational songs. Josh Groban fits the assignment. ❤
I am watching this video and the tears are pouring down my face. The Lord has put me on His shoulders, and gave me a Dad who was my greatest fan and encourager before he went to his Creator, followed by my lovely younger brother who was just like him. I miss them so much. Thank you Josh Groban for this timeless song.
I also cry everytime I hear this song. I lost Dad in 2004 played at his funeral.🙏💙😢 MOM requested it for her funeral also when time comes. BEAUTIFUL song.🙏😀❤

This was the song my son choose for our dance at his wedding and we both cried all the way through it because I knew all the great memories we had of his growing up years. He knew the sacrifices that I had made to be sure he had a good childhood and got him started in his adult life. I would do it all over again a thousand times. My three boys were my pride and joy.
So lovely..
So beautiful.

Just to let you know, I raised them by myself as their father and I divorced. Sometimes I had to work full time and two part time jobs but they got through college and all are successful but I lost my middle son to cancer two months ago. My heart is broken but I know that he is in Heaven. I’m just grateful that I could be their mother and to know what love was and how to give it to them. Also, I never spoke bad of their father and they respect him and I hope me for it. Thank you for your comment.
This song always reminds me of my father. He passed about 5 yrs ago, but the lessons he taught me are eternal!🙏🙏🤗😢♥️
When I'm at my lowest point in my life I listen to this song because it lifts my spirits and reminds me my God has always been there for me to raise me up from whatever trails in my life.✝️
True, when ever I look back at my life and see only one set of footprints, that's when the Lord was carrying me. He never abandoned me, even when I was lost.
A big Amen
God never judges loves u always . Pray to him all the time when I feel down
@@principevanessa9974 That is 100% NOT TRUE to say God never judges. He absolutely does. He is literally the ultimate judge. He even tells Christian's that they can judge other (righteously) according to His word.
Love it !!

It's 3:18AM feeling so broken and I can't stop listening to this song, am seated in silence waiting for God, I know He's watching over me and He hears.
Did the sun rise? The dawning of the new day is Gods gift for your strength and faith. Although difficult, summon your strength and rise confidant that you can do all things through he who strengthens you.
Good luck! God is with you and stay strong, he will hear your prayers and thoughts
He is with you!!! You don’t have to wait on Him, He is always there.

June 19 my mom passed away and this song reminds me of how strong a woman she was up until she couldn't get out of bed. She raised us 8 children plus 4 of my father and she raised us to be strong and accept that life is not a guarantee but it is a gift to teach us to help thy neighbors and love one another with respect.. Love you mom .. Until I hold you in my arms again.

When I sing this song I feel my Lord listening. I think about the Psalms -“come before Him with Thanksgiving and into His courts with praise”. Praise and thanksgiving is all that I have for a loving and forgiving King
I love you Lord.
What a beautiful voice and song. God is amazing and can lift us up when we are down
Sometimes we are our worst enemy, but he's there every second watching over me and you.

The song has NOTHING to do with God except in your imagination & misinterpretation. LOL. The rest of your comment are good.

frlander Guys... Please stop. This is a failing "argument."

Well if this helps, I believe with all my heart that Josh Groban is a satanist and I know for a fact that he served as a psyops specialist with the Army's 5th Special Forces a few years ago.
interesting that everyone is saying they want this played at their funeral, I want this to be my first dance in my wedding... I think it's a great song for newlywed couples.
THANK YOU 😭 And same 😄 imma play this at my wedding it's so beautifull 💖
Yes it would be, awesome
@@jakelehtinen3806 what is wrong with you?
It was played at my wedding. My wife chose this song
Candice Bizzell I wanted “You we’re always on my mind” by Willie when I married in 1984, as my first dance , they refused because they thought it was sad, don’t let anyone tell you they won’t play it, it is your day. I ended up playing it as his funeral, bad choice, should have been the wedding for the meaning it had for us.
I love this hymn so much. When I was young and my family's house burned down, other children in my class at school made fun of me because of the used clothes that a charity in town brought out for us. Those clothing were a gift to my parents, as they were in debt having to build another house for my family. My classmates didn't want to sit beside me, because I was the poor kid on the block.
This beautiful hymn, "You Raise Me Up When I Am Down", along with others we sang at Church lifted me up to be a child of God Almighty. That Music was what I most needed at one of the most critical times in my young life.
Thanks for your sincere love and support 💞💞
I really appreciate 🙏🙏
Saddest thing ever. I'm so sorry you went through that. ♡♡♡
I would have gladly sat next to you and been your friend, as you are a survivor
Lmao, funny.
I too wore used clothes, we were poor and my parents did the best they could. We had shelter, food and loads of love Which is a blessing
Thank YOU JESUS CHRIST for YOUR faithfulnes and love❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do.
*YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES!* It’s a pit you *CAN NOT* get out of. *AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS!* He is, to quote Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also *WAY* better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO!
God knew and knows we are wack, but He decides He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
Psalm 118:8-9
“8 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in humans.
9 It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.”
Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. *IF* anyone is interested, read on.
*NOTE:* I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves.
Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what people deem “irrational.” Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that.
I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet)
james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
*NOW, ONTO THE EVIDENCE!! (WHOO-HOO)*
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other related findings. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite on UA-cam).
more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on)
The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) The idea that the Earth floated in space was concocted circa 500 BC. Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on.
Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC.
Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC
Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC.
This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless. So you know how the Euphrates River is drying up? Well, guess what? People in the Bible are saying: “Been there, done that.” Read on to learn more.
Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.”
Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz.
*NOW FOR EVIDENCE OUTSIDE OF THE BIBLE*
The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well
*YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES*
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who-privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
*There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:*
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ “Christians,” confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command;
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers;
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son);
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified;
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers;
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (even the disciples thought Jesus would never make the ultimate comeback)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (The disciples deserted Him, remember? They didn’t have any help. Everyone said, “Crucify Him!” major L to those opposed to Jesus)
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone (they would have to break that off; there were well-trained Roman guards there as well).
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback. They were called to not be liars. I mean, they hung out with the Son of God/God in the flesh. Come on, now).
faith, science, and reason, people (as we all know them today, and as it was before all those things were tarnished)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

I' m only strong because I'm on Your shoulders Jesus. Thank You for raising me up. Without You I'm nothing.
@Roedette Thank you for the cheers and Incredible love. How are you today?
This song raised me up when I was downhearted. I felt God 's presence during this hard time!!!!😔🎵🎶😄🎵🎶❤💪
Wow! 🤩, very touchy and inspiring. God has been faithful since I lost my dear wife to the cold hands of cancer 6yrs ago. I'm sending hugs from Houston, Tx. Cheers! 🥂
Thank you being my fan and where you from
This was apparently one of my father’s favourite songs. I lost him 15 years ago, when I was 11 years ago. It has helped me get through so much, and I hope it helps other kids as well. I just wanted to come here, not just to tell people how amazing this song is, but that life will always, 100%, get better. No matter what. You got this. I believe in you ❤️
11 years old*
Stay up
LMAOOO. You are one funny lad
I'm disabled my sister protects me this is my song for her I love you sis for your love towards me
You are so lucky to have a loving caring sister who will care and look after you God Bless you both
I remember in a time of a hard Trial I heard the Words I raise you up and then He led me to this song Praise God.
@Cindy Thank you for the cheers and Incredible love. How are you today?
My Mother used to play this when she missed her Dad. I now play it when I miss her. ❤️
❤
Came here because I was missing my aunt. Same
This was my Moms favorite song, she passed away 20 years ago today
So comforting
Isn t this a song about God? isn t about a mom or dad.
This song is so beautiful and perfect. We need music like this in our lives instead of what the world throws at us. I cried listening to this song and it was played at my grandfather's funeral as well. God is great and he has a beautiful purpose for each and every one of us. Just like Josh Groban was meant to sing this song. Blessings to you all! 👏🏻🎚✨
DG Spectral II - Yes, God blessed Josh with an amazing gift. I pray his voice will continue to sing the type of songs he writes. There is great beauty behind his words.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. I'll never forget when I lost mine. Take reference in knowing that he's up in Heaven with our Lord and Savior.🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
I mean, the world gave us Disturbed covering The Sound of Silence, so.....

What are you babbling on about? The "world" threw this garbage at you and you caught it. As did millions of others. I hear the most evil cliched music, the most banal lyric its possible to eke out of a dictionary and a voice and presence so offensively non-charismatic and bland I want to puke... you don't. Be happy.
When I hear this song it reminds me of all the people I've lost over my life. I carry their strength with me and never forget how they made me the person I am today.
Omg I needed this my sweet beloved daddy passed away on 11/08/24 and I'm so lossed and broken with out him and this just reminds be of him he raised be to be strong independent women and so much more love you daddy ❤️
🙏
It's almost unexplainable, the joy I feel watching and listening to this song every time. How fortunate I am, to be alive and able to experience the magic comfort this song gives anytime you listen to it. There are no words to express how genuine and beautiful this sound is over the years even in 2022. Josh is totally a great man and artist, no one will take that from him. I pray long life and blooming talent to you Josh. Thanks for not forgetting your fans during this journey, i really appreciate the fact that you spent little time with us on Skype the other day! thank you for all you do great man....💝💝💝💝💝
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This song has single handedly kept me afloat through my depression for literally months. Thank you Josh Groban for performing this flawless record. I would love to be part of this group pls...
@@slatonkristiansen6342 same...this song is literally the only thing that got me thru the worst days
I love this song sung by Josh Groban.
I have depression
My parents passed away last year from covid and one of the last songs my mom had in her search history was this.. these words speak true to them ,how they were always there for my siblings and I . Put us first and gave us unconditional love 💔🕊️
Sorry for your loss. They left a great legacy. It's now your turn to carry it forward.
Beautiful song
@@soniaskolnick3868 you
@@soniaskolnick3868 thank you so much ,🙏🏽😔
Wow! Beautiful
My dad passed away 2 years ago. Today is the second anniversary. I can't stop crying and listening to this song. Take care of your parents forever.
If he could he’d tell you”Move forward, live a great life, serve and love others, and I’ll see you soon. And remember I love you”. You make him proud.
I'm sorry for your loss and pray the Lord takes away your pain more and more each day.
Sorry for your loss and my father passed about the same time
But, I feel he is with me many times; his words, his character and his love for our family and others have taught me much to help others when I can because that's what he did
I'm sorry for your loss Meeni.
My Mum passed 2 years April coming not easy you don't forget. But smile remembering the good times . Circle of life love we have to make room for the young ones but the old are always there with us they are part of us ❤️.Big hig x
Josh was truly given a gift by God above! Bless you Josh, for blessing me wherever I listen to your amazing voice. Thank you❤
@Cheryl I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me. How are you doing today? It’s nice to meet you on here.
Praying for our nation during this trying time. I'm dying, and thru it all, the angels and our Lord have been beside me. No Earthly presence has held my nhand or carried me. GOD HAS
Lori, I truly hope this week finds you in a better place. But I also am certain I live in your place as well. Music can be extremely healing ❤
And yes,,,,,, they are ALWAYS with you.
May God continue to comfort you and hold you in His loving hands! I am praying for you to have peace, maybe even be able to forgive those who left you alone and did bad things to you.
Obviously I don''t know your exact situation, but possibly it helps to speak to somebody from your local church about it.
Amen our king is great
Lori, I’m saddened that you are dying. We all will die too. This is not our home. Our home is
in Heaven with our Lord, our redeemer and Saviour. Our life here on earth is short and the meaning of
life is to follow Him and await patiently until He calls us home. In Heaven there is no illness, sorrow,
nor tribulations but joy to be with our God. Rejoice in the Lord and know that He loves you more
than any person can here on earth. Even if we have lots of friends, married with children, and have parents,
no one can replace God. He walks with us daily and when we are going through pain, depression, illnesses, etc.
He is the only one that will never abandon you, He will walk with you daily, hold your hand, and he is carrying
you right now. No one on earth will love you like He does and He will never disappoint you. When each of us
die, that journey is undertaken with Him alone. If you have God with you, you realize you are not alone.
I will keep you in my prayers, so here on earth I’m your friend. I hope this consoles you.
Anyone still around? Don’t make me feel lonely 😢
I’m here for you, I have sent a Host of Angels to help and guide you. All you have to do is Believe, if God be for me who and be against me. you are special to Jesus. Ann from Ireland.
Remember God is Bigger he,s got you
Don't feel lonely, im here! love this masterpiece
❤yes I'm here 😊
@@annhaslam956 ❤️😊
Two years ago, when my dad was nearing the end of his life, I’d sing this song to him and Dad would always squeeze my hand in response to hearing this song. At Dad’s funeral, this was one of the songs that we played. I still think of my dad every time that I hear this song.
GOD Bless You 🙏
Me too!
Yes you are so right. Your dad will always be with you it doesnt matter where or when. I lost my Dad when i was 6 years old. I am 53 now and i have always felt he has been with me in the Best and The Worst and i have always passed his energy to my Teenage Son. 👍👍👍
My husband died dementia u raised me up. To go on
I’m so sorry for your loss. 💔
There will never be a greater Voice.
My little Brother loved this song and found such encouragement in it. Now he’s in Heaven, and I’m here listening for that same encouragement he sought. This song is absolutely beautiful! If anyone should happen to read this, I want you to know that I know it’s been a long, hard couple of years. And I want you to know that you are loved! I’m praying for everyone of my fellow human beings! ♥️ May God bless you and your families!
your words is a warm spring wind touched my heart.
Thank you so much.🌹 I'm sorry for your loss of your brother💔 but you will see him again one day in Heaven I know. I wish you God's many blessings in return! And a happy New Year.
🙏💙🌟💙🙏
@@cindy.j123 🥰 Thank you Miss Cindy. I truly believe that too. 🥳 Happy New Year! 🎊
Thank you may God bless you and your family to sorry for your loss. happy new year
Thank you for your kind words I love you. God bless you❤🙏
It's 2023 and it's definitely one of the best songs of all time, a total masterpiece. It never gets old..
My Dad past away in January. We couldn't be with him in the hospital because of covid. The doctors and nurses played this for him at the end. Its my morning ritual to listen every morning and talk to my Dad. Miss him so it hurts so bad.
He was the BEST father. I'm everything I am because of him. 🙏❤️🙏❤️
Still listening every day. ❤
Years later still here. Missing my Dad 💜🙏😢
Oct. 2024
So sorry for you're loss Sandra.
My father's face always come in front of me while listening this song
Soooo sad for you. Wish I could give you a hug . God Bless You.
I am sorry for u Sandra!😪My daughter name is also Sandra and she lost her dad and I lost my husband on November 2020😪! Life is painful!
♥️
I havnt seen my father in 10 years. 2/3 of my life he hasn’t been there for me. One of the memories I have with him was this song playing on the radio whilst we drove to a camping site. Ever since than this song has meant so much to me.
blur----sorry to hear that........
May he rest in peace x
He didn’t die...
Sad
He hasn’t been there for you because he knows he is important to you and that he is special to you and you have lots of his love with you so he believed that you could love without contact.
My mother passed in 2017 and years before she asked for us to play this song and it was the most heartbreaking song, still can’t listen without bawling like a big ol baby Jan. 30, 2023
My condolences on your loss. You clearly had a great relationship with your mother. That makes you very fortunate.
I know the feeling. I lost my daughter & she's the one who bought me this cd
@@ronaldmorrow6041 I’m so sorry. It’s worse losing a child. My heart and prayers go out to you and yours
@@michaelcollins8328 We had a great relationship. She was the best person I’ve ever met. She would do anything for anybody. Thank you for your comment.
@@bridgetackerman8512 Then you were very fortunate. My mother was a very mean person who took delight in telling me and my brother we were not wanted. When she died, neither of us went to her funeral because we did not care what happened to her.
My mother recently passed away and I often think about her and how she raised me as a child. She's the strongest person I've ever known and now I'm stronger than ever.
I am not looking forward to that day
We got to appreciate those who we have before it's too late. She may not be here physically, but spiritually she is watching over you. Protecting you and loving you.
May God bless her and you.💕
I paid this at my dad's funeral 3 weeks ago.
I still couldn't crushes me and he was 95.
But he was the backbone of my family. Miss your dad
Who's still listening to this masterpiece in 2021? I am!
Me 😁👋
me
Me ❤️
I AM

We played this song at my mother's funeral a couple of weeks ago. I just turned 40 six days before she passed. I cried like a baby. Josh Groban's voice can pull emotion out of you that you never thought possible. I'll always be a fan.
I miss my mom. 😢
😭😭😭
I’m sorry for your loss ❤
I'm sorry for your loss❤
Mi dispiace per tua mamma😢❤
I miss my mother too 😢 3 yes still hurts. Jesus promised that he go to prepare a play. That where here he is we may be there also. He tell us to Let not our heart be troubled. That we believe in God believe also in him. No man come to the Father but by Jesus he is the way the truth and the life. Paul said to be absent from the body is to be present we with the lord. Talk to Jesus he loves you . He got you.❤❤❤❤❤😊
Amen. This song never never fade. A song of encouragement to everyone , remember we always acknowledge that apart from God we can't do everything. 🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely..! G-d Above of Alll ...!
God is strength and power
when i was down, i was listening to his songs and felt much better.now i laugh at myself but back then Josh Groban music helped me to go through the darkest moments.I was dancing to his music and it kept me going.hope he will come to UK
The song makes me cry, remembering how many times God raised me up from many heartaches
We serve an AWESOME God!!! All the glory, honor, thanks and praise goes to Him.❤
in the video clip the could put in kids in need to tell everyone that we are the same and with support everything is possible even in people with needs
Totally agree with u.
God Ain't real
Amen 🙏🏾
What an uplifting song laying in my hospital bed waiting for an emergency surgery .i am so impressed with all the hospital staff working here so they can save lives. The Coronavirus has elevated us to fully respect how hard they have to work in these crazy times. It’s like someone hit the slow motion button of life.
I hope your surgery goes well ❤️
Prayers & Healing to Jesus for You & Your Family. Jesus & I Love You🙏
Amen.🙏
Amen
I pray for your perfect healing in the same of Jesus Christ. Amen
This came out just before my cancer diagnosis. This song helped me get through 14 months of treatment. That was 18 yrs ago. It still gives me goosebumps. I am not a religious person but I am spiritual.
I’m going through cancer now. God bless you’re in remission and wish you a long life of happiness and peace
@@aliciasena417 you will also live the long that God has given you.Cancer is not a death sentence
Amen & blessings
So glad you made it.
I sing this song(badly) whenever life gets to be a challenge. God always gives me comfort. Amen.
Thank You God for all You do for me. Glory to God Hallelujah. Amen 🙏🏾✝️🙌🏾💞🕊️👏🏾😊
@Joan I’m honored to have the kind of support you show me. How are you today?

I'm a single mom, and raising my baby boy all alone. This song gives me strength. I love him so much and I will never leave him until I die & I know my baby will be a good boy.
this is perfect😭😭😭
You are a wonderful person.. You always have to tell yourself that.. One day Your son will be proud of his mom.. and her strength.. 😊
Sending lots of love prayers and blessings of God from IDIA AMEN 🙏
Amen
With a loving Mother like You, he shall indeed be a Great Man when he grows up. Regards.
This is such a spiritual song that it takes my breath away! When I am down and weary who promises to come and sit a while with me? Jesus says, "I will never leave you or forsake you". He is never too busy to come to me like some others. When I turn to Jesus in my weakness; He lifts me up on His shoulders like a loving father with their little one at a parade. Then I can be more than I ever could have been on my own. He enables me to "stand on impossible mountains that enter my life and still the stormy seas that so frequently trouble my life. I wonder if others see Jesus in this song the way I do? I hope so!
Jean McBride I do to
Amen❤️
Amen!🙏
Amen , I do!
Amen :) Come Lord Jesus Come
This is one of my favourite hymns. It’s like the story of my life. Amen. Hallelujah thanks Josh.
