Jason Mraz - "God Rests in Reason" (Official RMTV Acoustic) 

"Give them your love but not your thoughts, for they arrived with their own hearts"

Each person can take the meaning of "God moves through you" in their own way....That's why he writes these songs...beautiful song....

im not even sure he realizes how amazing this song really is

I'm not a religious person by any means. I feel the feeling of "god" he speaks of, though. The words capture exactly what that feeling is like. I'll admit, I'm jealous. It was a nice feeling. By far, one of his greatest songs ever written. I hope to hear it live myself, one day.

i hate artists that just sing in tune, Mraz takes it to the next level, i have 1:30-1:40 on repeat because the vocal melody is so pure, i love it!!!!!!!!!

The guitar works according to his wish.....he's a master..!!!!

Jason + guitar + Toca + drum = real magic

the way his voice compliments his guitar playing and the way his guitar playing compliments his voice is simply amazing. he is definitely one of the best singers/musicians ever to live in my opinion. i really wish i had the talent he has. jason, you are a god.

Now this is what i call music. You can't get much better than this right hurrr.

Amazin - its after 3am, just home from work and stumbled upon this by pure accident, but Im totally blown away.....

I still feel tingly all over when he sings "everlasting love" in the beginning. LOVE this song!

this is one of the most amazing songs.... 0:42 "believe not god is in your heart, child but rather you're in the heart of god"

Just once I would love to listen to a great song without having close minded individuals argue and pick apart beautiful music. Get over yourselves, and listen to the song.

Listening to this moves through my entire soul!! I understand why God blessed you with that Angelic voice! Not many songs bring tears streaming down my face, but my friend this one sure does!! God Bless you in your journey!!

I wish I could marry a human form of Jasons music...bliss!

mhm, Jason is so amazing, God bless him and his music, may he move through him and anyone listening to this incredible song

if you don't know that Jason Mraz believes in God, you don't know anything about him...either way, so happy to see this good quality recording of the song, beautiful!

"Amazing song" Feels like you are in heaven... You were born together and together ye shall be forever......

i would have to say jason mraz is one of the greatest performers of our time

Whatever it is...Jason Mraz just made it perfect. So, guys out there...just accept the fact that this guy is really AWESOME !!!! (proven)

Yeah that's what I gathered from his tweets too. It is a good song though i like it. Thank you for the comment, it is the most constructive reply i ever received on RU-vid ;).

I love this song so much. It made me look at raising my children differently!

Thanks! We wanted to make it raw and authentic... let Jason shine

Those high notes are simply amazing.he rocks.

I'm grateful that I was able to experience his music, and that I was able to experience how amazing his words are too. Thanks Julie Dahlin'. That was nice. John and I both enjoyed that,

He really is a great singer by any standards. I am so glad I found this. Thanks RealMagicTV!

Can’t believe this is 12 years old 😱 still his best song

hehe thanks. It's the best way I can think of to desribe the depth of his music. He is an amazingly creative, intelligent songwriter and his music just fills my very core. I think I'd like to do a cover of this song one day....but there are so many great mraz songs to choose from!

was this a gospel music. the rhythm, the lyrics and the tenor range of Mraz..of what is really why he inspires me and a lot listenin' to his musics/songs. 'God Rests In Reason'.

that was the best 4 mins of this year in music for me..thanks jason!

i could listen to this every single day of my life!!!

I only heard Jason last year I think it was when he brought I'm Yours into the UK charts but I do think he is amazing and for me an idol in singing and songwritting.

In 2:20 to 2:50 was his lyrics refrencing that when were born were not really the sons and daughters of our offspring, that were merly God's children, if so.. all i got to say is, wow jason not only are you amazing but you got soul,energy, epicness,ect jason you rock!

Khalil Gibran: (from his book ‘The Prophet’) “You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music...” “Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams...”

Still listening 2020 🌹

This is the first new artist for a long time that has impressed me as much as this guy.

ITS THINGS LIKE THESE THAT MAKE PEOPLE SMILE EVEN IN TIMES OF HATE OR DEPRESSION

Just when I thought I had heard every single Jason Mraz song there is, I come across this. This man never ceases to amaze me with his talent and versatility. His music literally reaches right down into the soul and stays there. I don't know how he does it.

i had this song played at my grandmas funeral because it just speaks to your soul

this song almost makes me cry....

@armycuts Jason Mraz has one of the best ranges of any singer I've ever heard. His voice is brilliant!!!! And I haven't heard a song yet where he hasn't challenged himself. I suggest listening to more of his music...

this gives me cold chills.

the writing. so good

If you don't like God then you don't HAVE to listen to it. As simple as that... This song is great. =)

What a beautiful song

Love love love this song!

Non so bene di cosa parli, ma già sentire il nome di Dio mi fa stare bene. Questa canzone racchiude ritmo, sonorità, accenti, andamenti di voce e strumenti che riascolto spesso. Richiamano la semplicità delle cose. Ciò che vedo col cuore e che sento con gli occhi mi sa di vita. E' una dedica! JASON MRAZ GOD RESTS…

This whole session is so great.

hes not really new i was introduced to his music in '05..but he is indeed impressive.

Real magic for sure

My favorite song of his...

WOW.... This song is amazing!

well yea of course lol, 0:40-0:50, but also 1:30-1:50, this entire song is amazing... thats what i love about his music, he never makes two songs that sound the same, always a unique melody, and when live never sings a song the same way twice =)...

Awesome song, awesome poet.

this song gives me a much needed emotional perspective, thank you Jason.

simply awesome

i love the string work of this song. its so mysterious sounding

When he sings "Love" at 0:41..........absolutely phenomenal.

amazing charisma!! thanks Jason for your music :)

I love Jason, he say words that need to be heard. And Khalil Gibran too, of course!

simply mrazmerizing

For those who don't know, he wrote this song for his sister when she was pregnant.

Very nice playing !

@dezaelia Major props for knowing where the lyrics are from!! I was so excited when I realized that. The Prophet is such an amazing piece of literature! It only makes sense that Jason Mraz would know about it, and appreciate its awesomeness too =]

i love you jason !!!

Oh my goodness! 0:42 'Love' He has a beautiful voice! I love you J!

love it!

jason eres genial, solo espero que no te dejes llevar de las discograficas y sigue haciendo musica desde el alma, desde lo que sientes,sigue siendo tu: un musico

OMG! am crazy over Jason! Start digging all video relates to him ...

yessssssssssss!!!!!!!! al fin!

I've seen him twice in Holland and he's great..!

jason forever

i like this song, it the first time i heard it, from listening to im yours

this song make you think into the past...

Listen...stop jaw flapping (key tapping), the lyrics are poetic - universal and without judgement.

I love his flow:)

Welcome home brother man

really nice

great stuff!

quite good JAson :)

really nice.

Jason Mraz Es Lo mejor!!! Canta excelentemente bien!!!

@JDK1981 are you really going to stop listening to Jason Mraz if he is all about God or Jesus? Wow....You've got a problem... How can 11 people not like this? Crazies..

Thanks :-)

Im quite certain he is big enough not to let name calling from small minded people keep him from expressing whats in his heart.

Haha, thank you! I am a pretty steadfast atheist, but I still adore this song. It's quite beautiful

I am in love with this guitar part....i wish i knew what he was playing

Nossa.. Essa música é muito shooooooow, ela faz eu me sentir bem . Esse cara canta demais *--*

He still sings this beautifully! And his songs are just as thoughtful. However, I feel he's lost some of the freedoms he had when he wasn't quite as big as he is now. BTW, he's one of those rare artists who truly FEELS his music, that's why he closes his eyes so much.

haha! nice one goodyboiii!

I love this song!!! Amazing Song!!!! Thank you!!

OH HOLY SHIT Did anyone else get the Kahlil Gibran reference?!? AHHH I love this even MORE now!

caress for the soul

amen

WHY the HATING?? Its a good song so therefore, please ENJOY it and sh
