Colton Dixon has been gifted by God with a talent and platform whereby he is capable of reaching an entire generation of people with the Gospel message of Christ. He is a brave young man who has chosen to use his ability to uplift the name of Jesus rather than bring attention to himself. Let's pray that Colton will stay on the straight and narrow path in his life and career. And may we learn from the songs he sings.
@@freedom4063 Yessss he is! Yep!! Facts!💕 Especially you! If you're not good at singing, just keep it up! And don't ever give up! I respect all the ppl who sings! They're perfect, and so are you! 💝
Colton, I want to confess. I am a sinner. My heart is dirty. I want God to come into my heart, and you helped me do that. Thank you so much. I love you, brother. And I love you, Lord Jesus.
Absolutely.. look at the success he is having now compared to the winner.. he is super blessed compared to others cause he have jesus christ with him in his life... A true hero performer of jesus christ... So humble and such a blessing to everyone. God bless you colton
I think if did win American idol the industry would have turned him in what they wanted not what God wanted or had planned for him Colton is a angel of God singing for God
He played this song at the beach I was there my life has been full of sin and hate I've been suicidal but when he was playing the song Jesus forgave me he told me that he would never leave me or forsaken me and now I'm a follower of Jesus Christ PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES AND OPEN YOUR EARS JESUS IS COMING SOON WE NEED TO BE READY
+Teresa Dehart Oh my! I like this song. I like ur comment, the way you convert. Yes, Yes, Yes.. :) We need to be ready. We need to pray for the salvation of many souls in the whole world. :))
P.s I'm 73 years old Colton,and to anyone who may read this, I was a prodigal son too, a few times...,but He has never left me alone either! He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother!! AND may He continue to bless you and your music and ministry to the church and to the whole world 🗺!!! I'll see you soon, first in Heaven, and then on the new earth 🌎!!! After all, this is all going "TO Be Continued..." Revelations chapters 21 and 22 !!!!! 🙏👍😇❣️😉
Lyrics Lights off, a shot in the dark We get lost when we're playing a part We lay blame like we know what's best It's a shame We break when we fall too hard Lose faith when we're torn apart Don't say you're too far gone It's a shame It's a shame I'm still standing here No I didn't disappear Now the lights are on See I was never gone I let go of your hand To help you understand With you all along Oh, I was never gone There's space between our lives Hard to face, but I know we try To revive, bring it back to life Don't walk away Don't walk away I'm still standing here No I didn't disappear Now the lights are on See I was never gone I let go of your hand To help you understand With you all along OK, I was never gone I never ever left you Never ever left you, no I said I never ever left you Never ever left you, no And Jesus never ever left you Never ever left you, no Could seize the evil and the darkness Now you know you’re not alone I'm still standing here No I didn't disappear Now the lights are on See I was never gone I let go of your hand To help you understand With you all along Oh, I was never gone I'm still standing here No I didn't disappear Now the lights are on See I was never gone I let go of your hand To help you understand With you all along Oh, I was never gone
Love this! Jesus isn't ever gone. Everyone says, "Where are you God? Why did you leave?" But in reality He never did leave. When you go in the wrong direction, God stays quiet. He is waiting for you to run back to Him. Anyways, I think they should play this on the radio as much as You Are.
forgive me for what? I don't need to be forgiven for anything jesus fucking christ are you fucking kidding me? I checked it out because I liked the dude on idol but this shit just sucks
If anyone reads this, I am begging for prayers for my baby niece Ilah Mae. She is fighting for her life, and she is so so precious and we are praying for a miracle. Please please take just one second to send a little prayer for her!!!
This song touches my heart, it speaks to me as Jesus is never gone, He never leaves us and He never will. He let go of our hands to help us understand life, but He never left, He was never gone. I’ve listened to this song so many times this week it’s been stuck in my head for many hours, Colton never stop the incredible songs you create, your amazing.
God never leaves us, he may be silent. But remember the teacher is always quiet during the test. God loves you, he promise he would never leave you no matter where you are.
Why does Miley have more attention than him who is spreading goodness with his music? He is so amazing and so inspiring. This made my night. Needed this
Thank you Jesus for always being there even though we don't always appreciate your presence and we run away from you. Thank you for always loving us when we find it hard to love you.
OH MY WORD GUYS 😣 just today I made the connection that the father and the son is representative of us and God. We are the prodigal that runs away; we reject God's light (His provision of His word and talking to Him through prayer). Obviously, God does not get sick or old or pass away- that part is representative of us coming back to God completely forgiven, and yet still with the consequences and mourning of all of our wasted and lost time away from Him. OH MY LANTA MY HEART
I've been a fan of Colton Dixon since the first time he appeared on American Idol and didn't make it to the live performances. Then, he came back not to audition but to offer support for his sister.. although thank goodness the judges forced him to audition! He has been such an inspiration to me and my faith. I finally got to see him perform live and I cried the whole time! Thank you Colton for the music you put out that inspires more and more people each day! You are a messenger and inspired me to be one as well. I never leave my house without my Colton cross necklace. :)
Oh wow! this song has me in tears right now. Jesus i really needed this cause I've been feeling so out of touch lately with reality and everything that's been going on with me psychologically that I thank you for moving in me right now with this song. Thank you!
Me three. I was driving home from visiting my mom and little brother a few hours ago. I was telling them about how God is moving in my life so much this past week and how he has really showed me himself in a big way for me to completely devote my life to God. This song came on the radio and I nearly had to pull over I was crying so hard out of joy. I was born into a Christian family being taught about God and Jesus all my life but I been running my entire life from God because I wanted to do what I wanted to do. God let me go do what I wanted but he was always there pulling at me to come back. Then the other night he spoke to me and I was lead to watch a random sermon that was in the suggestions that just so happened to make everything I was going through clear. It's just like the song. "Now the light are on, see I was never gone." Tears are coming to my eyes again just typing this. God is so amazing! His plan so perfect. He knew he had let me go so he could show me in a way I could understand. PRAISE GOD! AMEN!
That's awesome man! I really hope and pray that God continues on working in your life and in your heart to be in constant communication with him. I love how he uses music to reach deep down a person's heart to remind them why he's there in the 1st place so we may never forget our 1st love which is Jesus. :)
I starting crying at work. I know God will never leave me nor forsake me Hebrews 13:5 but sometimes we just need to be reminded that he's always there when we sin, when we cry and are hurting, even in our happy moments God is always with us because he is in us. (Galatians 2:20)
2:48, i repeated this and sang it over and over again. It touches my heart every single time. Love you Jesus Christ, i will always love you and i will always pray to you 🙏
I love the end of this video where the son finally comes to visit His Father and after all these years, the dad opens his palm and gives him the light he was trying to give him in the past. It reminds me of our Father's (God"s) love for us. Even when we leave Him and go off to do our own things, He's still there for us and when we come back and admit our wrongs, He still has his blessings and His love waiting in store for us
I just in the last week found Colton's music after all these years and it must be a miracle from God because I had been in a dark place because of Covid19, laid off from work since the beginning of April, been with the same company for 19 years, received a letter a month ago that the lay off was extended from July 31st to October 2nd and unemployment & CARES act exhausted & ending, I had been crying & praying to God the Father of what to do, at my age to try to change to a different profession I have been in for 30 years, I was frightened for my family above all else & was feeling inadequate and worthless and then Colton's music of hope & inspiration hits me like a ton of bricks and I prayed & prayed for just some relief from our Father who is in Heaven and lo and behold, I receive a phone call from my job that I was to return to work on August 15th! Blessings & Prayers for you, Colton Dixon and thank you Jesus for working thru Colton to bring me Hope, Peace & Love in Jesus Christs name, who He and the Father receive all the Glory! Amen!!
I not only hear your songs, Colton. I feel them. I lost both of my parents to cancer, I have a strong faith and this song hits me right in my soul. I had the pleasure of meeting you in Portland, ME when you were on the idol summer tour. You have done amazing things through your talent from God. Thank you, Colton.
I've known this song for years but have never pay attention to the video. And I just somehow accidently did, and it teared me up. Thank you for such a great song
always end up crying while listen to this song. Lord Jesus, help me to keep have faith in You through all difficulties. Hold me and help me to be strong. please help my family. please help my husband, he needs U, we really need U.
This song literally spoke to me in volumes. Right now, what I'm going through makes it hard to believe that Jesus will always forgive me sometimes, but things like this help me realize that He was never gone, and never will be. Sometimes it's hard to believe that you didn't have to earn God's love; you had it all along.
Chariot818 , I totally get what you're saying. I've been there. That's what makes His love so crazy and wonderful. I still have to remind myself that no matter I do, it doesn't change His love. :)
I love this song, just the music makes me want to dance, the lyrics are true and joyful. I saw him live at the GA dome at Winter Jam, and I loved it, he calls himself ' A Messenger ' and he is a messenger, at least to me he is.
I repented to this song and I'm proud to know my savior has never left like I have him and i apologize to him he shows me he forgives me with the love he has for me everyday he keeps me safe he's the reason I'm here today so I thank Jesus for coming to this Earth and giving me an opportunity to find my purpose thank you 💞
When I went to church camp I thought it wouldn't change anything . but then I listened to this song cried a lot but it changed me forever I'm Tyler and I love Jesus thank u Colton Dixon
I am so happy to see that Colton now has a beautiful music career. He placed 7th on American Idol in Season 11 (I believe it was Season 11), and although he did not come in First Place, He came in First in God's Heart and Eyes. That is all that matters, so keep on making beautiful music/songs for God. Keep on sharing "The Word" through your music. God's best IS best for you!
Today, full of sadness and depression, I started to realize how lost I was feeling. So I took my notebook and started writing to God about how lost I was feeling and how much I felt I was far away from him... I was writing him about how much I wanted him to let me come back to him and suddenly I realized this song was playing. It felt like if he was responding me and well, thanks Colton, it gave me the strength I needed to realize that he is always with us even when we do not want to notice his love.
God plays a song in my head since last night and it was more of you .. And then I decided to clicked this song because this was my favorite.. though i know this song for a long time already..This song made me cry right now... Because my father died this december 23 2019 ... And I see meself as that son ... Because when my father died that is when I realized that he had been a great father for me and I ... I didnt have the chance to say i love you to him .. I never said I love you to him.. So when recall your song I cant believe that this song will make an impact in my heart.. THANK YOU COLTON AND TEAM💕
Still listening to it in 2020! I love it and its on REPEAT!!! Colton God bless you and continue to praise the Lord with this amazing music and lyrics. Thank you!
I watch this video everyday my dad is dying of lung, brain and bones cancer I spend every moment I can and this video gives me the hope in the Lord I need
+George Borowski I thank all of you for your kind words and prayers, my dad has lost his fight with the cancer that spread from his lung to his brain and bones, I kept him home as long as I could spending 24/7 with him as he could not do anything for himself, I sat by his bed holding his hand as he told me how proud he was of me, he had his leg amputated in 2011 and I spent everyday taking care of him and now my heart is broken and I sit here everyday and I wish he was still here but I know that God has him in his arms, no more pain but I still miss him, may God bless all of you your kindness helps and hopefully Jesus will help me through this, I was a professional musician and I can't even pick up my guitar or sit at my piano, Jesus guide my hands and my soul
A peice of media finally made me cry. I was in a little bit of pain to begin with. I don't normally see myself as an emotional person, but the story of the father and son in this video spoke to me personally. It reminded me of the time I ran away from him for about a year and a half. Nothing that resulted in Chronic reprecussions (i.e. drug addiction) ever actually occured and I was able to catch the earliest form of suicidal thoughts. I finally called for help at my weakest, when I had fought for what felt like an eternity, though it was only about 18-19 months, and he came to me when I was at my weakest, when I was in that space where I knew time was limited. I called out for help and witnessed what I can only describe as a miracle from God himself. That year and a half's worth of depression, hardship, lonliness, fear, and helplessness began to break off and fall away like a concrete slab that had formed around me, and I felt freedom from all of that. I have been in a bad place since, including watching this video. I know a lot of people are critical of the CCM industry, but after having a brief cry watching this video which reminded me that God is faithful even to the point where even if I think that he won't forgive me for throwing away his gift of salvation that he had it waiting for me when I returned.
This song is so amazing and with the most incredible video! Colton u are an amazing and beyond talented singer and pianist . I’m so glad u became a Christian singer instead of mainstream. U will never know how many peoples lives u have touched and will continue to touch. God bless u and ur beautiful wife!
I feel like God is directly talking to me by using the lyrics of this. It makes me wanna cry to believe I left God and I just want to cry to him and say Im sorry
i cry literally every time i watch this video. The story of the father and son is beautiful, its truly showed me God's unending love, everlasting patience.
I love this song now! I have never heard of this song but this is a beautiful song and jesus never leaves us. He is trying to get it out to people that he never leaves us! Jesus was never gone.
@@山城賢司-s9s Please tell me you weren't implying "old" is a bad thing. If you were, I guess that would also make me bad since I'm an old 65 year "old" believer who enjoys Christian pop, rock, techno, etc.! lol I'm actually not offended at all, just joking. Take care and God bless you. :-)
Colton Dixon is a very talented guy and uses his voice for the glory of the Lord,, please keep spreading the love of God throughout your music Colton. This video is a reality, the love of God is like the love of our parents, sometimes we underestimate it and we don't know how important our parents are until they're dying or are dead. Know that lights are on, God was never gone!!
Amanda Burgos I'll keep you in prayer. My dad passed away five days before my birthday this year. I miss him so much. Jesus will hold you through your pain as long as you trust and let Him guide you. Keep your head up. It'll get better. God bless.
This video makes me cry every time, because it's a truly perfect representation of the scripture and this song. The Father WILL NEVER leave you nor forsake you, whether you leave Him or not, He's ALWAYS there, loving you and waiting for your return.
I thank Jesus our Lord that Colton did not become some commercial singer. If not, I will never be able to hear such amazing worship music. He is amazing. I only started listening to him. Recently.
Love and appreciate your work Colton ❤️ Tonight's the first time I've ever heard your powerful song and amazingly powerful video. Thank you for all you do for God, Jesus and the entire family 🙏😇✝️
at first, I thought it was an ordinary alternative rock that I've heard on the radio, but when I googled the lyrics, I was shock because it is a Godly music
This video actually helped me understand why I should respect my parents..my grandma was there for me and adopted me when I didn't have anybody and she's 72, i'm 14, and I need to respect her, because when her times comes i'll regret talking back and disrespecting her. That's just the way I took the video. :P
You are so beautiful in so many ways, I have been a fan for years, a cancer survivor for now, I thank God for your help, in my survival, Please keep singing,
This is the most beautiful song I a sinner have ever heard, I first heard this song when I was having a terrible day and I just broke down in tears and I knew this was a sign from God and I knew He and Jesus were never gone. God is good.
OH MY GOSH!!!! I HAD NO IDEA HE SANG THIS!!!! IVE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT ON JOY102.5!!!!! YOU KEEP SURPRISING ME COLTON!!! xD I KEEP LOVING U MORE AND MORE WITH EVERY NEW SONG I HEAR!!!! God Bless!!!! - Sarah
+ Amber Worley I love winter jam i think i have gone almost every year for about 5 year at one point he actually jumped off of a piano lol it was AWESOME! BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!
This song is so amazing. It reminds me of my own story. I gave my life to Christ when I was thirteen but walked away from the faith because I simply wanted my own way. Long story short...I finally hit rock bottom and returned to the Lord when I was thirty. Its so true that even in my rebellion God was always there..He was never gone. How faithful is our God.
@Colton Dixon I always cry when I hear this song, the lyrics are so amazing and true and they just get me every time. It is very reassuring and we all need that at some point in our walk with Jesus. You are an inspiration to me and you have to make the songs i write be for the Lord no matter what I think other people will say. You are a roll model to me and I thank you for that.
