Skillet -“Stars” (The Shack Version) [Official Music Video] 

From a non-christian. We need more bands like Skillet which make precious music like this to worship and honor their God.

You spoke a word and life began Told oceans where to start and where to end You set in motion time and space But still you come, and you call to me by name But still you come, and you call to me by name If you can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars The deepest depths, the darkest nights Can't separate, can't keep me from your sight I get so lost, forget my way But still you love, and you don't forget my name If you can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am lifting up my heart If you can calm the raging sea You can calm the storm in me You're never too far away You never show up too late So here I am lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars Your love has called my name What do I have to fear? What do I have to fear? Your love has called my name What do I have to fear? What do I have to fear? If you can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am lifting up my heart (lifting up my heart) If you can calm the raging sea You can calm the storm in me You're never too far away You never show up too late So here I am lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars You're the one who holds the stars

I lost my wife last week. She was 39 and her birthday is next week. We were supposed to go on a family cruise to celebrate her 40th. I have been listening to this a lot. I feel I will always be broken, but this helps.

I lost my house, three family members to COVID, and have faced financial hardship; but this song gets me through these times of uncertainty. God gives his fighters the toughest bout because he knows if Job can endure it, so can his champions.

Lyrics You spoke a word and life began Told oceans where to start and where to end You set in motion time and space But still you come and you call to me by name Still you come and you call to me by name If you can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am, lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars The deepest depths, the darkest nights Can't separate, can't keep me from your sight I get so lost, forget my way But still you love and you don't forget my name If you can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am, lifting up my heart If you can calm the raging sea You can calm the storm in me You're never too far away You never show up too late So here I am, lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars Your love has called my name What do I have to fear? What do I have to fear? Your love has called my name What do I have to fear? What do I have to fear? If you can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am, lifting up my heart (Lifting up my heart) If you can calm the raging sea You can calm the storm in me You're never too far away You never show up too late So here I am, lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars You're the one who holds the stars

This version of this song absolutely amazing no other words can describe it

This is a song that's hard for me to hear, but helps remind me of just how far I've come. Today I have 4yrs 6mo clean time from a nasty pain pill addiction. I used to lay in my shower, sick, crying out to God. "Save me or take me, please, I'm so sorry" and He did come for me. This song was one I would play on repeat for hours, sometimes days. It wasn't immediate, because He knew I wasn't ready. But once I hit my knees, admitted my defeat and started to help myself, there He was. He had been there the whole time... I am so thankful to have been saved. I love my God and I love this beautiful song. 💜

"He who counts the stars and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting His own children." ~ Charles Spurgeon.

"If You can hold the stars in place, You can hold my heart the same" I actually felt this while listening. Thank you Skillet.

I'm not a Christian, but I absolutely love these guys. This acoustic version of Stars is beautiful. Thank you, Skillet, for making some of the greatest music I've ever heard.

You spoke a word and life began Told oceans where to start and where to end You set in motion time and space But still You come and You call to me by name But still You come and You call to me by name If You can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am, lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars The deepest depths, the darkest nights Can't separate, can't keep me from Your sight I get so lost, forget my way But still You love and You don't forget my name If You can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am, lifting up my heart If You can calm the raging sea You can calm the storm in me You're never too far away You never show up too late So here I am, lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars Your love has called my name What do I have to fear? What do I have to fear? Your love has called my name What do I have to fear? What do I have to fear? If You can hold the stars in place You can hold my heart the same Whenever I fall away Whenever I start to break So here I am, lifting up my heart (lifting up my heart) If You can calm the raging sea You can calm the storm in me You're never too far away You never show up too late So here I am, lifting up my heart To the one who holds the stars

"If You can calm the raging sea, You can calm the storm in me. You're never too far away, You never show up too late."

I'm not Christian but I absolutely love this band so much! You guys never fail to hit me right in the heart with your music 🖤🖤🖤

I love how skillet can go straight from a Heavy rock band to a to a band with so much Melody it’s mine blowing

Wow Skillet delivers GOLD yet again, love it!

I find that this song brings me to my faith. I’m a recovering addict. Almost 6 years sober. God saved my life! Granted I worked hard for my sobriety but I kept faith that god would get me through the hell I was living and he did! This song touches my heart

My favorite song! 🎶🎵 I love you SKILLET! 😘

Imagine all the millions of people and God knows us all by our names, hears our prayers and answers all of them. Sometimes his answer is yes and sometimes it’s, be still and know I am working in your life. Amazing grace!

I can't stop screaming when I heard the lyrics!!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Goosebumps! To God be all the Glory!!

For those who are broken... You're not alone, there's so many people who feel pain like you, but don't worry, even if you don't believe in God, there's always a way to keep it up. Don't surrender, don't doubt, you will be fine, you will be okay, God loves you all, and we all can make it.

Im not religious, but even if you are or not, its imposible to say that their songs arent so uplifters. That's why they are my favourite band!!

This is literally one of the reasons why I love skillet not only they are Christians like myself but they speak from the heart everytime they sing a song and it goes to god. This song represents everything that god is so wonderful to all of us no matter if ur a Christian or not💯

I love the message in this song. God is never, EVER far from you, even when it feels like He is, which is what I'm going through, i feel SO distant from God yet, I know He's right there.

So Here I Am Lifting Up My Heart To The One Who Holds The Stars

Whenever i listen to this song, it always reminds me of how well off i am. I live in a rural area of the UK away from serious crime. I have a loving family and amazing friends. My life is so close to perfect, and whenever I listen to this, I'm reminded of how well God has treated me. Recently, i felt like my life was empty, so i prayed. God answered. I know not everyone believes, but i believe that everyone should know he still cares for you even if you don't know him yet.❤

This song was one of my son's favorite as well as one of mine. He passed away on 2-12-2021. He was 18. This song has really helped me through.

that feel when u can't stop listening to a song!

Christian band or not, this group is seriously one of the best musicians out there, put a lot of so called rock bands to shame

I lost my grandma last year. She helped a lot for my parents to raise me. Listening to this, I can see her face again. I'm afraid that after some years I will forget her voice. God, please, take care of my grandma, and give her a seat at your table in heaven.

I made my first solo trip to south america about a week ago and this song helped me to remember that God cares about therefore He is with me, when i was a teenager i suffered from panic attacks and anxiety, the thought of diying was constantly in my head, so i wanted to be in my house, with my parents all the time, cuz i felt safe however i was getting worse but God helped me and deliver me from that fear, and with this trip I saw the hand of God with me the whole time even when those thoughts wanted to come back He was there reassuring me that everything was gonna be fine and so it did! God is Good all the time!

I needed to hear this today. It just kinda felt like a hand reached out and lifted my face up.

THIS version is the one that should've been recorded on the album originally IMO. I can't get enough of this version...

Beautiful, I love this song, & March 2nd I get to see them in my own home town.

I've been struggling with my mental health recently, and I just can't seem to control myself, my anxiety has forced me to hide from the real world and forget about everything. But whenever I hear this song, something inside me hits me. I know some people aren't big believers but this song impacts me to continue to look up in front of me and continue to have faith to move on. This fight will not be easy but I believe that God and in the name of Jesus, I will find that light at the end of the tunnel. This band no matter what will be my favorite, been a Skillet fan for countless years and this band has helped me get through my social anxiety with these powerful songs. I encourage everyone whatever battle you are facing, do not give up and lose hope, the world may be sick and so many people are cruel but that does not mean you should continue to be a shadow to everyone that admires you. Everyone that knows you are rooting for you and it would not be the same for them if it wasn't without you. No matter how significant your battle is, I believe you will overcome it and reach the light and get out of your shadows. Matthew 11:28-30 - God lightens your burdens. - Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Never give up and continue to be you, always. ❤️🙏

I have always love skillet. From “Monster” to “Feel Invincible”. But this song has made me cry in the past. Usually I don’t cry, but it is just the vibes that make me push on. Hopes to people who have had hardships in their lives know that God loves you even you don’t believe in him. YOU ARE NOT A MISTAKE!!!! YOU Are A GIFT!!!

During this time in history, things seem out of control. But, the one who holds the Stars is watching over you and me, and is turning everything for our good

One of the best songs 😿💕

I lost my father 2 months ago, this song just let me let it all out. Skillet always hits me in the feels

This song is getting me through a lot right now... God is great

I read the book "The Shack" seven years after my brother was murdered. It brought me out of the valley that I was stuck in. Then the movie came out and this song says it all. It speaks volumes to to the healing.

I'm not religious at all, but it shouldn't matter. These guys rock and some of their songs have saved my life... Even though I'm not Christian I'm thankful for what they have done for me

I love all of skillet's songs, but this might be my favorite of all of them. Simply beautiful.

*I LOVE SKILLET!!!*

Es un crimen que RU-vid aun no tenga la opción "me encanta". Esta obra de arte merece millones. Sin duda Skillet es una de las mejores bandas cristianas de todos los tiempos.

My father passed away in May of a failed kidney transplant and my grandma got diagnosed with leukemia today. I was led right to this song. They are and were both wonderful children of God and I fall away so often but I know in the end I'm held by the one who holds the stars.

This was one of the only songs my grandma liked from this band and she really loved it. My grandma had a major stroke in my arms in March of 2019 and died pretty horrifically 4 days after that and I continued playing this song through those last couple days and after she died this song was a God-send with processing the grief through that horrible experience. I still listen to this song when life just feels hard. God is good and I strongly feel music is something that can help us with our walk with the Lord.

I love this song. This version is especially cool. So glad that there is such an awesome CHRISTIAN rock band that I can listen to.

Skillet... I LOVE YOU!

i love you skillet😍👌❤

This song speaks to me on so many levels. Thank you God for using your people to comfort and bring peace to people. Beautiful voice and message.

I just recently lost my dad. One of my biggest memories with him was going to your guys concert. It was my first and last with my dad. After that night this was our song. No matter where we were going we always listened to this. This was our song and everytime I listen to it, it brings back all of those memories and I wnated to thank you guys for this. He loved you guys and always listend to your music. Everytime a new album came out bought. There was a night when I was younger he was feeling down and he picked me up and slow danced with me to the song Lucy. I just wanted to say thank you again you guys are amazing🥺♥️

I love this song. It tells me that God is all-powerful and nothing will happen if He doesn't want it to. Thank you Skillet for writing such a powerful and inspiring song. God bless you!

I first heard them when I wasn't doing too well, my grandpa had just died, and I was pretty depressed and kinda suicidal tbh. The first song I found was the last night and it helped me a lot. I'm not quite as depressed now, but it's still a fight that's ongoing. I miss you grandpa.

This literally took my breath away. Just wow. Praise to God- maker of the star yet knows us all by name praise Jesus. Hallelujah. A-freaking-men

This song was one of the songs playing when my son passed away at 18 years of age three weeks ago. This song will always mean a lot to me!

I love this band and this song

Skillet you guys have no idea how powerful u all are. Your music has brought me out of depression from loosing loved ones to suicide and has made me feel stronger than I've ever been in my life. I love, love, love all your lyrics. And I absolutely love how even though your music is Christian based and I don't follow any sect of Christianity the words you all sing touch me from the bottom of my heart. I love how no matter a person's faith your music brings us all together. Thank you for your music.

Algum BR para ouvir essa maravilha?

Iron sharpens iron we as human beings , "spirits made in heaven going through a human experience." Sharpen each other, through music, life's trials and kindness. God speaks through us to each other.

Skillet? Trending? Heck yeah! number 17

Skillet sempre

My Grandpa passed away yesterday on the 10th. He was a pastor, very devoted Christian is whole life. This song makes me think of him so much and reminds me that he is with such an amazing and loving God. I may sing this song at his memorial service soon. Thank you Skillet for such beautiful, heart felt music

thank you , Skillet

Thank you God for giving me a child.

I grew up listening to these guy's, they've always shined❤

The way he sang "...to the one who holds the stars" gives me a very emotional touching vibe, a very blessing feeling too.

Essa banda. Esse filme. ❤

Favorite band beautiful song amazing movie🙏🏻❤️

This song is so good, every time they say “If you can hold the stars in place, then you can hold my heart the same” makes me want to cry 🥲🥲🥲

I really love this song. Whenever I'm having a bad day I listen to this song to just relax have some time for myself. 💖💖💖 Skillet is the best 💖💖💖

It's interesting how many of you, professed non-Christians, really like this song. That should already tell you something about what your heart and spirit truly desires. The peace and comfort only He can give you if you just draw near to Him. God bless. #comeasyouare

Thats the most beautiful Song i have ever heard
