If ever asked “why do you deserve to go to heaven?” I will answer “I don’t, the only reason I have a chance is due to the Grace of God and The Blood of Jesus Christ!!
Better than any other in my opinion. The best of the best uniting folk across the board - across races and across nations. Divinely inspired and shaking up lamestream music. Beautifully uncontrollable.
Another thought-provoking and soul-stirring song. Coming to Christ, although later in life, is the only worthwhile thing I have ever done in my 58 years on this earth, and it was not of myself, but only by God's grace. May God continue to bless you and your loved ones.
I'm right there with you, although I've always been a believer, I didn't take it seriously in practice until about 5 years ago when I was 53. I took the long way around assuming I had plenty of time to get here, but then the calendar started flying by and it felt like someone was urgently tapping me on the shoulder to get right with the Lord now.
@@drchico40country music isn't dead. What most folks call country music nowadays is just Nashville pop. There still many out there. Like this fella, you just got to turn off the radio, and start going down rabbit holes here on you tube you'll find all kinds of good music still being made.
As a man who has lived his life not believing in god you sir have shown me the way, not saying this to stroke your ego, just wanted to say thank you. I’m excited to know god, our father.
I do know where I'm going , that's why I'm no longer ever sad or depressed. Jesus saved my soul a few years ago , and He can save yours too . Praise Jesus and God bless you all. Great song , by the way !
The lyrics are by far the strongest written part of this song. I’ve found my paradise through Jesus Christ our saviour. Can’t be more true. Tired of waking up early to only show up late 😉 good job on this one brother. Amen. It’s like your writing songs to personal prayers you have to the lord. Amazing
I have been blessed with an amazing stallion and three good dogs. Sure, sometimes it’s a bit challenging, but I told my doc a while back: I trust God and I trust my horse, and you are not either one of them.
The song is definitely touching, and has a good message. but the only way people come to the Lord is by Him calling them out of the world by the hearing of the gospel, and giving them a new birth, then granting them the faith to believe.
Pouring tears at the moment holding a glass of whiskey. For how my brother knows where my heart lives and Dies ... in video and song ... loveyou and many Blessings ...my Brother perfect and perfect timing in my life I needed this one ! 😊
So nice to have an artist we can relate to! :) Someone who doesn't care about the glitter and marketing and fame. It is refreshing. Thank you and God Bless you.
Good values expressed here about what really matters…things that last for eternity… to choose good and not evil that you may find life everlasting. Jesus, said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live.” John 11:25 This song is beautiful!
Yep, I lived life in the fast lane. But one day The LORD, put the blowtorch to me, by taking my only daughter. I Praise and Thank Him for, my daughter was a believer and loved Jesus. Oh yes at 54 I woke up! I have many friends and family members that are in Paradise. It would be awful if I couldn’t spend eternity with Jesus and my loved ones! I dropped out, bought the West side of a mountain in NC. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! I also Thank Jesus for getting me out of the rat race and giving me this mountain to take care of. Our man is correct, you MUST find your Paradise here on earth, before you can go to The Paradise with Jesus. I LOVE your voice ❤️
Damn near the same life here friend but ended with a cabin i built on 3 acres in Northern Michigan. I'm hoping the good Lord does have all that forgiveness in his heart I hear so much about because he'll need it if I'm going to get there brother. Best wishes and God Bless you and yours.
FACTS, bc if you don't ask for assistance, the Most High will allow you to keep doing what you're doing until you realize you need to make a real change. it starts within, and it won't start until you start it
West Virginia is where I was raised and it is where I’m going to die. Gods country, Wild Wonderful West Virginia, it’s almost heaven. God Bless to all.
My mothers family is from Boone county (Southern Coal fields) Iv'e lived there for many years of my life but was not raised there. I too would like to die there! That WV line is killer!
Absolutely, absolutely my man!! I really miss music like this, true country music. Just like it says, music from the country. My country. Paradise is all around us out here in the country. Thank you so much sir for bringing us back to our roots, our true purpose on this earth. Keep preachin', please. We desperately need this.
I love the video. It's so down to earth. It reminds me of my childhood and my life now when I get to break out of my 6:00am to 4:30pm job and walk along the branch on my farm. I love the lyrics also. It isn't just about the next party, finding peace at the bottom of a cup, glass or bottle, conquering the next girl or lusting after the the girls that came to the party in the sticks to get attention that their father didn't give them. This song is thought provoking and is about something that we should all spend more time thinking about. Are we living the abundant life that Jesus talks about in our temporary life here on earth? Where are we going to spend eternity? Will it be on the New Heaven and New Earth with God or will it be in Hell, eternally separated from God? Will we be able to enjoy the earth he created as originally intended without sin, or will we be free to sin all we want but endure constant suffering being absolutely and totally alone and apart from those we love and apart from our creator forever?
I love this. Years ago someone told me that if i can't find Heaven on Earth, that I'd have no way of finding it anywhere else. That philosophy impacted my perspective on life in a big way.
@@YouElm To oversimplify: God's character is HOLY HOLY HOLY. Perfectly Just. Sin is a rejection of what God is. Sin is a really really bad deal, a debt impossible to pay off ourselves. Jesus is not only God, but is also truly human. God didn't kill himself. Jesus lived a sinless life then died and took our punishment, which satisfied God's justice. Debt paid. Now that justice is served, God's grace is extended. If a person confesses they need the debt paid and really want to be free from sin.
@@WRWhizard God is Almighty and does as He pleases. I pray to God, my Judge on the Day of Judgment, directly for forgiveness. God _is_ Mercy. He doesn't need to create a person to sacrifice. Pray to God directly with no intermediaries; using an intermediary violates the 10 Commandments. Praying to other than God violates the 10 Commandments. Pray directly to God for the sake of your soul.
“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:12-13
God bless Chris, all the dogs on earth, all my fellow hard working Patriots out there in the trades. Y'all are the back and shoulders that keep it all going. The rest of society are nothing but lanterns. Not too bright and ya have to carry them.
Indeed two different pairs of shoes! Earth = Creation we all walk on! World = We live in! Get out of her (World) my People! Peace and Grace to you in Jesus Name! Amen❤
Definitely my favorite song on the album, been playing it on repeat brother. Love the walk through the woods with the dogs video! Cant wait to get me a cd to keep in the truck 👍
U keep hitting my heart, Oliver Anthony. U have the purest heart. I luv ur music, your dogs are beautiful. I could sit in a rocking chair, stare into a big ol' fire and listen to u all night.

Thank you.
Wow, true.
I feel that!
Fuck man. That hit hard
One person in the comments that understood the song. Finally. Nobody listens - potato brains.
If ever asked “why do you deserve to go to heaven?” I will answer “I don’t, the only reason I have a chance is due to the Grace of God and The Blood of Jesus Christ!!
Amen.
Amen
Amen!
Amen. Even a wretch like me.
Amen ❤

I agree, all other things pass away in the blink of an aye.
Your path with The Lord is permanent.
It’s a hard narrow path, so glad you found it.

Finally some new country songs with soul. Not the recycled garbage most "artists" are putting out.
"Country music" is dead. Music like this needs a new moniker......I submit "Americana Music".

Another brilliant song, but I must say the opening lyrics in 'got to get sober' are poetry in action', which I found inspiring.

Jesus is the only way to the Father. You will never be good enough. God knows that. Humans fell from grace. God sent His Son to pay for our mistakes.
