Same! Reminds me of early mornings, getting ready with my younger brother for high-school. This song has always stuck with me. That 90s nostalgia, man!
I love this song. I remember listening to it during my college days. One thing that I really believe is that I had an encounter with an angel about 18 months ago at Christmastime. I was at the grocery store very late. I came out of the store after 10 o'clock because they were closing. I was walking to my car, and I saw this man in the parking lot. He was dressed really messy, and he had a spray bottle and paper towels offering to clean car windows in exchange for money. He said he needed bus fare for him and his family. I had a strong sense that I was supposed to talk to him, tell him about Jesus, and help him. My heart started beating faster and I just couldn't shake the feeling. So, I introduced myself, gave him some money, and witnessed to him. He started smiling as soon as I said that I was Born-again. I don't know why I said it, but I told Him that the Bible says that we could be entertaining angels unaware, and I felt the Lord telling me that I needed to talk with him. I then said that God was good, and He takes care of what we need, and He knows what we need before we even ask. He looked at me and this huge smile spread across his face, and he said, "Yes. I know Him. He's EXACTLY like what you say." I felt a little strange when he said it. I was thinking, does he know him the WAY that I KNOW HIM, or does he REALLY KNOW Him?! I had no fear, only great peace inside of myself. I told him God bless him and I would be praying for him. He said, thank you. I turned around for a split second towards my car. I turned back around but he had vanished! I looked all around the parking lot, but he was gone! It was like no one was ever there! I've always thought about that in my mind. I still remember what he looked like. And I'm still so glad that I helped him. Praise God!
@Chris Hunter If we see everyone that way, how can we be ministers in the name of Jesus?. God will deal with Him if he did. But I did my due diligence in the name of the Lord. That's all I'm responsible for. God will take care of the rest. Right?
I always assumed this song was about the verse in Hebrews that talks about entertaining angels unaware. However, according to Peter Furler, it's actually about Luke 15:7, which talks about how all of heaven rejoices when one lost sinner repents. That is to say, we're "entertaining" the angels by giving them cause to celebrate when we turn back to God!
Spring 2007 me in college, two weeks ago 2024 both of my kids were diagnosed with autism. When I received the letter with the results I literally hear someone whispered in my ear: "it's only a diagnostic". I know it is God my heavenly Father ❤❤.
This song resonates so many emotions for me. Such a deep range. Happiness, sorrow, love, nostalgic youth, emptiness, fulfillment, tears, laughter. This song is my youth encapsulated. It goes by so fast. Oh to bottle said youth and have that infancy of faith and my first steps and walk with God. Happy tears as I type. The joy Newsboys fill my heart with is unbound. Thank you Jesus for choosing me. Thank you for continuing my hearts fulfiment. He is good. He is worthy.
Great comment. I was a young teen when I first listened to this and can recall those same feelings, faith, energy, and wonder. But also have gone through so many struggles and battles since then with the world, and it's dark forces. I'm lucky to be alive and my faith stronger than ever now. Wish I could send a time capsule back to that boy.
My path with God has strayed so wildly over the years, I've distanced myself from my local church due to their political leans being more important than their spiritual strength and solidarity, and while I'm baptized and grown up as a Christian from childhood, I've allowed myself to broaden my mind and heart to the world and all walks of life and found what it means to be a Christian in my heart and in my relationship with God. And despite that being less bombastic as some Christians are nowadays, one thing I remember and always delight in is this song. It never ever fails to lift my mood with its soaring vocals and instrumentals. I saw Newsboys in concert when I was a teenager with my church group and enjoyed it immensely, even got an autograph on my arm by the band members. This song always holds a special place for me in my heart no matter how close or far I wander in God's reach.
Crazy this song doesn't have more views. I had the single on cd. I always liked "jars of clay", and "DC talk".. this particular song was my introduction to this group/band in the late 90s.And to this day, it is still my favorite!
@@Desmond-un7upvery cool that our paths were the same with this genre of music, and it led us to meet online. Coincidence? I think not. God has plans for all of his children. Here for my brother's always, just let me know what I can do. Peace be the journey 🕊 🙏
@@QuietLifeintheForest 3rd infantry division... Started off at camp Pennsylvania till u guys came, then we sat out in the desert until the invasion started
Saw them In the very very early 2000’s at Soulfest. All of us throwing beach balls through the audience listening to this live will be something I never forget ❤️
How many times have I broke down crying overwhelmed by the holy spirit for He has always been with me through all the drama and hurt I've put myself through. This song will always remind me of God's Grace and faithfulness 💙 thank you Jesus for dying for my sins and I will sing of your greatness for all of eternity 🌻
we are so blessed !!!! the LORD has given us ministries like newsboys, dctalk, toby mac ,mahalia jackson , etc. HE is good to us. i rejoice in HIM. ( sometimes i think i'll be able to sing in heaven.........now it is just a 'noise' ) we live in exciting times. even so, come LORD JESUS !!!!
Entertaining Angels by Newsboys, better than all Pink Floyd songs. Wild to think about, but compare it and you'll find it's true. I'm no Christian, but I have ears to hear, and that song has a clear drumroll beat and cadence and preaching song that sings to your heart that beats out all Pink Floyd songs. It's how existence works that even a little known, but prominent Christian band has the talent and skill to produce a top sound.
Bro, you can like it more for sure. But to use language like your opinion is definitive just exposes your mind set. This world doesn't revolve around you, and you'll have a happier life if you can use language that doesn't put yourself as dictator.
@@mr.warlight9086 I find everything Pink Floyd's done is better than this song, and I like this song. But I'm glad you like it too! I just suffered from that "my way or the highway" language in my early teens, and language of course shapes your perspective, and other's perspective of you. Sorry to ride your butt about it, it just makes everyone around you suffer, and you most of all
@@user-mm8vw1ow1x alright, but I myself cannot find a better Pink Floyd song, like this clearly beats out Another Brick In The Wall and Comfortably Numb.
LYRICS One to another Do you remember me I feel so small Well are you list'in tonight So temporary The things that i have seen I ran so far Will you take me back again Entertaining angels By the light of my t.v. screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time i fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me One to another The feelings in between I won't let go Of all you taught me - alright Close as a brother The way we used to be I'll hold my breath And i'll wait for you to breath Entertaining angels By the light of my t.v. screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my t.v. screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels By the time i fall to my knees Host of heaven, sing over me Entertaining angels By the light of my t.v. screen 24-7 you wait for me Entertaining angels While the night becomes history Host of heaven, sing over me
I've seen these guys live. But after Peter Fuller and Phil Joel left. Peter still tours with them, but Phil is a solo artist now. The drum solo is one of the best parts of the concert. If you haven't seen them live, you should. I saw them at the Allegan (Michigan) county fair back in 2013.
Years ago I entertained an Angel at my parents church. God had warned me the church would be tested due to very bad choices people were making. Of course I didn't realize it was an Angel untill thinking it through days later. The story is too long for here but the church declined rapidly after that becausre they never got their act together for the Lord. I found out later this was the second time they were tested and this time I was the only one that greated and helped the "man" as he appeared homeless. But later I remembered the incredible power coming off of him and the glowing eyes I saw for just a split second while I was talking to him. I have been a dedicated Christian all my life.
Dios usó esta canción hace muchos años para ministrarme Su paz en uno de los momentos más oscuros de mi vida. En aquel momento, estaba llena de estupor (miedo extremo), debido al ataque demoníaco más fuerte que he experimentado. Puse esta canción repetidas veces como por una hora, porque literalmente pude sentir una protección que me llenaba de paz poniendo fin a ese horrible capítulo de mi vida. Gracias Dios por darnos a los Newsboys!
An Angelic Visit? I think God revealed Himself to me after the suicide of my son Matthew in March of 2016 as the God who comforts us in our deepest times of grief and heartbreak in our lives. When my son Matthew died at the young age of 20 my heart broke. He was a greeter at Wal-Mart and he always told people, “God Bless you Sir!” or “God Bless you Mam!” as the people entered the store and left. One day a man was walking out of the store and he was singing, “Soon and very soon, You are going to see the King.” My son Matthew recognized this as a Hymn from Church. He said, “God Bless you Sir!” And the man looked right at my son and said words that were shocking, “And God Bless you Matthew Daly Campbell.” What!? How did he know my entire name-my son Matthew thought? He came home and told me as his Dad the entire story that day. He was shocked and surprised. He said, “Dad I could not believe he knew my name-I looked for him outside-but he was gone!” Just a month and a half later my son Matthew died. I believe to this very day that the man my son Matthew saw was an angel and God used that angel to comfort my heart of letting me know in the time of my deepest grief that my son Matthew was safely home with Jesus-the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Thoughts? In Christ, David H. Campbell
