Same. I just woke my baby girl up and held her tight. My 11 year old wasn’t really having it since she was on her iPhone but I made her hug me anyways, and my 14 year old! Dang, this song kills me..especially coming from a broken home where I saw many a fist fights..drug abuse, stuff I won’t ever even talk about but I had great parents..they just weren’t good for each other and I will never put my baby girls through that.
I get chills every time I hear the song or see the video. “I know that man up there on that cross I don’t know his name but I know he got off”. Chills every time cause I believe they could totally happen. Another good one by John Micheal Montgomery “letters from home”.
First time I heard this song I cried...I can't imagine not hugging or kissing my daughter everyday...telling her I love her...I still cry when I hear this song...I have no doubts that she was held by Him. He protected her ❤
This song gives me chills to the point of shivers. "I know that man up there on that cross. I don't know his name, but I know he got off." I believe this has happened, does happen and will happen until Jesus returns. I heard the testimony of a girl that had been kept in a closet for most all of her young years. Once she was rescued and was interviewed, she was ask what she did all that time locked in that filthy closet. She said she waited for the man on the ceiling to visit her. She was ask what happened then. She said they would sing song. When ask what song, she said they sung Jesus Loves Me. Now, this young girl did not know Jesus and she did not know that song. For she had spent her very young life until she was rescued in the closet cut off from everything.
Sometimes God has to take away for something good to happen I cry everytime I hear this song Jesus kept the little girl safe because he knew that it had to be that way for the little girl to be happy and healthy
The first time I heard this I was with an army buddy. When I think about it, it must have been comical gold to see us both trying to cry in front of each other. I still cry when I hear it. [Edit] Trying NOT to cry.
No,no, no..ooops, you already watched. I grew-up in this environment, when this song hit the radio, I couldn’t listen to it...first time listening all the way through. Thank you Billy, I heard the good at the end.
"911 operator, what's your emergency?" "I was just assaulted by a song!?" "Was it John Michael Montgomery?" "Yes...?" *distant yell* "That's 9,578,554,231 Paul, first round is on you!"
😭😭😭I know what that’s like. god I’m so freakin blessed my aunt and uncle took me in 😭💛 they really are my parents. The abuse. no child deserved to see that. ever. ever.
Country will hit you in the feels every other hour. The radio be messing my day up by throwing out a Martina McBride song or something lol or even just a regular song, making me thing about lost love or unanswered prayers Thank God for music.
This legitimately made me tear up the first dozen times I heard it. Not trying to be macho but I don’t tear up much. “Letters from Home” is another great JMM song that made me tear up as well. Saw him live in the small town of Wellington Ks a few years ago and he killed it!
My baby sister is adopted and the first couple years of her her life weren’t great.. our parents are amazing.. I tear up every time I hear this but then I smile
Songs like this are why I love 90s Country! Other great songs by JMM are Friends, No Man’s Land, How Was I To Know, I Can Love You Like That, I Swear, I Love The Way You Love Me, Rope The Moon, If You’ve Got Love, Be My Baby Tonight, Hold On To Me, and Life’s a Dance. Thanks Billy!!!
Life's a dance you learn as you go.. sometimes you lead sometimes you follow.. don't worry about what you don't know. . Life's a dance we learn as we go!
I am a Christian and I believe in God & Jesus and I love this song. It always made me realize people go through stuff that you don't see but God does & he loves you no matter what you've done or been through. God loves you and have a blessed day!
When I first heard this song, I thought it was a beautiful song, but since then I have been saved and it has so much more meaning for me now. It just gives me chills.
This video hits close to home for me. My childhood was horrible and I promise God got me through it. That is the only way I could have survived. And I was lucky enough to get adopted by wonderful people
the intro to this song gets me every time. No matter how many times I hear this it will always cause me to get goosebumps. this is the country music that I grew up with and this is the country music I wish was more popular today.
This actually happened to someone i grew up with. Everytime i hear this song i just bawl because i think of her and how this situation happened to her and her sister
I believe in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I also know that the word "church" is misused by most people. The word church in the bible is not defined as a place. Church is a people. All believers in Christ are a church. Again not a PLACE where we GO but a RELATIONSHIP we ACHIEVE. We are the church and He is all we need.
I agree. Though being around a group of believers to learn and lean on is amazing. Doesn’t mean it is in a building. It could be anywhere that gets you close to God ☺️❤️
Christians believe you're saved threw a relationship with jesus, I believe church is good cause we need to be around other believers. It's helps our relationship grow. But church is where the people are, not the building itself. I think it's good to tell the difference. As the Bible said, come together and worship.
AMEN!!! Going to church don't make anyone a good Christian any more then standing in a garage makes anyone a car!!!! That being said, I have faith, I am not religious!!!
I believe when someone dies that you love, their soul and inner light never leaves you...they look over you...and that girl behind the couch had that upper power surrounding her..
John Michael Montgomery is one of those artists that can write a song that will tear your heart out and fill you with sadness, but then he pulls you back and give you hope by the end of the song.
The earliest memory I have is my sister and me ( I'm the youngest) we were hiding behind the door frame of our room and watched as my mom's bf at the time held a shot gun to her head i still can hear and see the panic on her face ( i was maybe 4) ..she told us to run and i slid under his legs to go outside and we ran ...our uncle was a cop and he stopped it ..my mom then got a new bf who would go on to be married to her for 18 years and during that time when he got drunk ...he broke her skull...threw her down stairs...eyet she stayed...we begged her not to but she stayed...she then met an amazing man who doesn't even cuss... And he has been her savior but now she treats him how she was treated and I have to tell her ...true love doesn't hurt that he isn't them he won't hurt her ....it's a crazy cycle it's heart breaking ....everyone.. man , woman , child, deserves to feel both safe and loved in a relationship... We cannot change the past but i refuse to let the cycle continue the good that came from it is all is i learned how not to live...i got to see what poor and selfish choices does to people and life... I learned alot which has placed me on this beautiful path i am now on ...everything does happen fot a reason
Wow. This old lady was bawling her eyes out. Not just for the hard time the little girl went through, but what those parent's life choices ultimately lead to. I always look at it this way...what started this all off? Were the parent's abused? I still think that the parent's were adults and old enough to know better, but maybe not equipped for the job. Nevertheless, NO child should have to go through any of that. No sir. JMJ said it just perfectly and made it such a touching song. You're the best, Billy! Happy Monday!
A very good lesson I heard from a preacher who said: Remember ONLY god can create something from nothing, and think about that. Therefore, evil never comes from nothing. it always, always spreads. It propogates. It begets itself, but it never comes from nothing, never from out of nowhere. Only god creates something from nothing.
The first time I heard this song I teared up. This time hearing it, I teared up. Every freaking time I've heard this song in between one teared up too.
This is such a bittersweet song and sad that not all of these stories have a happy ending. For me, I can honestly and emphatically say that it is possible to know for sure that Jesus is with you in the middle of a tragedy. It was true for me. Thanks Billy, for sharing this video.
First off Bill thank you for your service to our country. thank you for not being too proud to show your emotions about people who hurt children. I thought I was the only one that got it emotional and cried butit's good to see others are emotional as well as I am . Thank you and God bless you
I was saddened by the beginning of the song, but the end warmed my heart. I am a proud member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have no problem saying this as I am secure in my faith in God and His Son.
I'm not religious or believe in God in any way, but there are a number of songs that I love(including this one) that are about or touch on religion that I still love
It is powerful, the end of the song gets me every time. I do believe in prayer and I believe it works. The vision of Jesus keeping her safe when so much evil is going on around her. Another great song thanks again for sharing. It is one of the saddest songs in country music.
I'm a Christian Billy. The first time I heard this song was many years ago and it was very moving and still is. John is a great storyteller whether it's upbeat feel good or a touching song. I enjoy your reactions. Keep em coming.
Now time for concrete angel- Martina McBride I loved how the very end “I swear” started and that version is my first dance with my husband at our wedding. This song still makes me cry ever since I first heard it as a little girl in the 90s. I believe in god, i believe in the goddess, and I believe in reincarnation, I believe that “angels” are gods as well. I am complicated
I'm a believer: always have been, always will be. He has seen me and my family through some extremely trying, rough times. The things he does and continues to do for me and my family are extraordinary, to say the absolute least 💜
I remember very well The first time I heard this song I was driving in my van, and when it came to the part when we find out that Jesus was with her I lifted my hands to the sky and rejoiced.
I still cry like a baby at this song (just like I do to all like it). I'm a mother and grandmother now so any song involving children gets to me too Billy. I love when BYSE joins us. Love a man who can cry and show emotions. You are, after all; only human and have a heart. God bless you.
Love this song but makes me cry every time I hear it. Makes me sad, makes me happy, so many emotions when I hear this song. I knew the moment you said you did not want to cry on a Monday, that you would be crying on a Monday when I saw what song you were reacting to. .. I am not a religious person but do believe in God and look at myself as spiritual person. Don't hold much faith in church and religion but do hold a lot of faith in God and his word. i bet you hugged your little girl after emotional videos like this.
Its nice to see him get emotional when he is watching this because i can relate to what he’s feeling i use play it to remember family members who left this world a long time ago
This made me cry! When involves children it is heart breaking!! I truly believe you don't have to go to church to believe in GOD! I have tried over the years many denominational churches and found each one had their own agenda. I read the bible on my own,and I have an extreme love for God and his word. You keep it honest in your reactions and I love it!! Never change!!!!
This song pulls at your heart strings. The video makes it even more powerful. When she is talking about the night her parents died, you have to realize she was hiding behind the very couch her mom was laying on when her dad shot her mom
It is such a blessing watching you discover songs that touch you and allow you to feel God’s touch through some of these songs as well as your emotional responses to so many! It’s one thing that makes us appreciate your reaction videos and enjoy them so much and allows us to be blessed at the same time!
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving and thinking “damn, this is just so sappy” and then the twist at the end came and I broke down in streams of tears. Had to pull over. So touching
