Tomorrow morning I get baptized. I’m anxious, nervous and yet I know this is the right thing to do. I know God has forgiven me. I was once a dead man. But Jesus has pardoned me!
Congratulations on getting baptized. I pray that you're doing well. I know that it's been a year since you were baptized but I felt like congratulations were in order anyway. May Abba Father always Bless you & Keep you. May he cause his face to shine upon you & be gracious unto you. May he lift up his countenance upon you & give you his Beautiful Peace which surpasses all understanding in Jesus Mighty name I pray, Amen 🛐✝️🌈💪🏻👑
Little over a year ago I od’d on opiates, addicted really bad. Almost died. By God’s grace and help, I am free of that addiction, this song makes me tear up. I was a walking dead man for years, but God chose to save me and called me out, raised me to life through Jeshua. Thank you wolves at the gate for your music.
Almost a decade later and I'm still returning to this song and video. Gets me every time. What a powerful message and testimony. Amazing Grace that saved us.
+Casey F Welcome home! I can give you my email if you want someone to talk to, or ask questions. We're here to help each other, and I'd love to do what I can.
I have NEVER had a hardcore song or alternative rock song make me break down and cry like a baby, I can truly say that God's anointing is upon all of them. God bless them.
God saves. He saved me, i was on a train that was on its way off the tracks but he pulled it back on track. My god i will praise with everything i have.
An explosion that changed my life. A house fire where me and my family lost everything. Watch a man become powerless before my eyes. Lived a life time lie for many years to come. And betrayed by friends and family. But somehow, God calmed this wretched heart of mine and said be still and know I’m the lord over all things. It hits harder than I could possibly fathom. The love is there and forever and truly free for all. Praise God the all mighty
Wow. Found the band 3 days ago. This music fills my soul and brings me to my Savior, more clearly saying in song than I could say in words. The song and video are beautiful, and If you guys see this thanks for writing it. -A former dead man, 2020
I was once a dead man A stranger with no home I stood opposed to God himself And yet He pardoned me With all my heart and the fiercest will Desired not but to thieve and kill I hadn't a thought of peace, but war Surrender was not what I'd endure I was a murderer filled with lies and deceit Faced with my list of crimes that I would always repeat Deliver me! Wake me up from this damning sleep I'm surrendering! Pull me out from this wickedness In this thieving heart of stone I realized all these sins I could not atone I was a murderer filled with lies and deceit Faced with my list of crimes that I would always repeat I was once a dead man A stranger with no home I stood opposed to God himself And yet He pardoned me So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins You took this heart of mine and gave me life again You gave me life again This is where I begin So far apart and a debt to fulfill This purchase bought on redemption's hill An ailing disease I couldn't cure Oh this grace! How rich and pure! Abide in me, my God! I am found in You Pardon me, my God! You know my deepest thoughts Deliver me from sin! I am made anew I'm surrendering this heart! For which your blood it bought The mob they yelled and screamed for justice That wrath was ours we are to blame You made a spectacle of rulers Denying You of a king's fame Having crushed the written cannon That wrote of all our guilt and shame Displayed upon the tree it was nailed The saving power of Your name For I was once a dead man A stranger with no home You saw this wretch And You gave him life Forever I'll praise You! I will praise You!
I can't listen to this song without thinking of the music video and every single time I am in tears. The message of Christ's grace in this song is so powerful its overwhelming. I love this song so much and the video made it so much more awesome!
Colin One of my heroes and favourite authors, Flannery O'Connor, was a woman of great faith. However, she struggled with doubt sometimes, too. She said: “I think there is no suffering greater than what is caused by the doubts of those who want to believe. I know what torment this is, but I can only see it, in myself anyway, as the process by which faith is deepened. A faith that just accepts is a child's faith and all right for children, but eventually you have to grow religiously as every other way, though some never do. What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross. It is much harder to believe than not to believe. If you feel you can't believe, you must at least do this: keep an open mind. Keep it open toward faith, keep wanting it, keep asking for it, and leave the rest to God." Those last two sentences, especially, I hope you think about. God loves you, man. :) Good luck, you're in my prayers.
I will praise no other name than yours, my King and Savior from this life till the next. Oh King Jesus, God of All, The great Yeshua- have mercy on me and put to death my sin. Forever Ill praise you, forever Ill serve you
I remembered showing this video 10 years ago with my religious family, they didn't like it at all and told me it's just a phase. Well, I'm still here, and will be, I'm so happy to have a Christian band like them.
I love them. I'm putting me entire faith in the Lord with all my MIGHT! for he is just and he gave his only begotten son to save us from all unrighteousness. I shouldn't take it for granted!! ❤️
I. LOVE. STEVE COBUCCIS' VOCALS!!!! He is so sick! (in a good way) God truly blesses this band and they really do spread the love and gospel of Jesus Christ with a passion!:))))
God bless them for making a awesome song. A blessing to many who are lost. I pray in Jesus name that those who listen to this song would be blessed, redeemed, saved and encourage to be baptized. By the Father, Son, and Holy ghost. In Jesus Name. Amen.
cabematt101 1211 >Wolves at the Gate is a Christian metal and post-hardcore band from Cedarville, Ohio Literally the first sentence on the wikipedia page. >In late 2011, Ohio post-hardcore outfit Wolves At The Gate Literally the first sentence on their website. Try again, kid.
This video. I hear people say all the time that "No one knows what I've done. No one, not even God, could forgive me." This song is amazing in that it exemplifies God's grace, mercy, and ultimate forgiveness. EVERYONE, no matter what they've done, can accept God's forgiveness and salvation! God will LITERALLY, and I know what "literally means," forgive anyone's sin. That is the INCREDIBLE thing about Christianity!
I believe Jesus still speaks in parables and this video makes it obvious to me. The video portrays a man being assaulted and killed. But we are all dead men and women until we repent of our sin receive the grace that God has given us.
You guys rock man! I admire the fact you guys try to pour as much of the Gospel as you can not only in lyrics, but even between songs on stage! Sadly, most professing "Christian bands" say foolish things like they "don't wanna shove it down kids throats." They fail at fulfilling Mark 16:15, to preach the Gospel to all the world. Thank you guys for staying faithful to the Gospel of Christ. You guys have hands down become my favourite band. You guys and Thrice! Keep going! All glory be to Christ my brothers!
I understand what you're saying, but I also understand not shoving it down people's throats. Being subtle gets people to think more about what the song is about, which definitely is more likely to get them to consider accepting something after they've pondered on it so much. These guys are good, but there are multiple way to getting to people, meaning that we should knock down another method.
+RandomVideoCreator8 You don't get people to accept anything. People are spiritually dead in their trespasses. You preach the Gospel faithfully, as Christians are commanded too, with the example set by the Apostles and Christ. People live their whole lives in offence to God and the Gospel. If the truth offends them, let it offend them. Im certain if you seen someone about to get hit by a car, you'd do all you can to warn them, and not talk "softly" to avoid being offensive. People are living with God's wrath abiding on them. People are dying and going to Hell every day. It has nothing to do with "shoving anything down their throats." It has everything to do with souls going to Hell each day. 150,000 people dying each day. Christians would be selfish NOT to do all they can to faithfully preach the Gospel to a lost world.
+Timothy Romans Sadly, most professing "Christian" bands, often try to fit in, they're ashamed of the Gospel, they preach a false "acceptance" gospel, rather than lovingly warn people of the reality of their sin, and the weight of it.
I'm a believer in god, but I don't like when ppl talk religion around me, some people can believe and not be invested in it everyday, there is a thing called logic and being down to earth. I love to believe in my own way without somebody telling me how too.
His love is beyond human comprehension. Only God could possibly give such GRACE to sinful wicked souls like ours. I praise Him everyday for the Grace I've been given, try my best to stand aside and let Him work in my life, and try to love as He does. No it's not easy, no I will not live up to Him, but I know that these struggles are merely in this mortal plain.
You don't purify yourself, God does that. He can and does forgive sins when we ask for his forgiveness and give our lives to him. There's no one beyond hope.
I met wolves at the gate a few nights ago. Freaking awesome show! They signed the new album I purchased and my friends and I just sat there with them after the show and just hung out with them. All of them were really kind to their fans. Wolves rule!
These are some of the coolest, most down to earth guys you'll meet. Got to chill with them, In Dying Arms and Stand Your Ground last night at Steak n Shake after their gig
Wow, this song is strong, emotionally and the music style is what makes me drawn to this song. I hope other people can use this song to change their views and hopefully live better lives.
And naive people will say Jesus can’t be in metal. I guess they don’t know these guys and definitely never listen to for today and Mattie giving praise to Jesus in every song.
this song almost makes me cry every time. I am reminded of what God did for me and it makes me glad that even though we don't deserve his mercy we get it anyway and are washed clean :)
***** you cant lose your salvation. Tell me where it says that in the bible. And how do i know when i lose my salvation? wouldnt the bible be really specific about something as huge as my eternal salvation
You guys have a way with words and visuals. When I first heard the band name 'Wolves At The Gate' I nearly dismissed it as "oh, another heavy metal band with 'wolves' in their name...-i'll listen to them later..." -then, I heard you guys on RadioU, and was floored. I wish more bands knew how to write like you guys...and also how to put together music videos that mean something about the song, are understandable, and impeccably produced to boot? I'm not trying to flatter anyone: not too many bands that share the same Faith have that dedication to their job as artists.
I love the message of this video and of this song. Even a murderer can be redeemed and reborn by the grace of Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 says, "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard."
Dead Man/Wolves At The Gate I was once dead man かつて私は家もなく死んでいるかのように彷徨う異邦人だった A stranger with no home I stood opposed to god himself 俺は俺のために神に対して立ち向かった and yet he pardon me なんであの時の俺があそこまでできたのかわからない with all my heart and the fiercest will 全ての想いと激情が Desired not but to thieve and kill 願いとは裏腹に盗み殺戮を犯す I hadn't a thought of peace, but war 平和を願うこともなく Surrender was not what I'd endure 降伏することもなく戦い耐え抜く I was a murderer filled with lies and deceit 俺は詐欺と嘘に塗り固められた殺人鬼 Faced with my list of crimes that I would always repeat いつもと同じ自分が載った手配書に面してばかりだ Deliver me wake me up from this damning sleep 解放してくれ、この悪夢から俺を起こしてくれ I'm Surrendering! Pull me out from this wickedness お手上げだ。この苦痛から引っ張り出してくれ In this thieving heart of stone 固まりきったこの心をどうにかしてくれ I rearized all these sins I could not atone 犯してしまった過ちを償うことができないんだ I was a murderer filled with lies and deceit 俺は詐欺と嘘に塗り固められた殺人鬼 Faced with my list of crimes that I would always repeat いつもと同じ自分が載った手配書に面するばかり I was once a dead man 俺はかつて家もなく死んだかのように彷徨う異邦人だった A stranger with no home I stood opposed to God himself 俺は俺の為に神に対して立ち向かった And yet he pardoned me なんであそこまでできたのか未だにわからない So just at the right time when we were dead in our sins 私たちが罪に対して向き合い筋を通され死を迎える時 You took this heart of mine and gave me life again あなたは私の魂を預かり、そしてまた私に肉体を授けた You gave me life again こんな私にまた命を授けた this is where I begin これが私の原点だ So far apart and a debt to fulfill 遠く離れ債務を満たすべく This purchase bought on redemption's hill このやりとりを償還の丘で済ませた An ailing disease I couldn't cure この痛みが癒えない Oh this grace!! How rich and pure!! この猶予は何なのだ。もっと清く豊かなものじゃないのか！ A bide in me , my God! 神よ私を守り給え I am found in you あなたがいらっしゃるなら Pardon me my god! 神よ問い質させてくれ You know my deepest thoughts 私の心の底の想いを知ってるだろう Deliver me from sin I am made a new 罪から解放してくれ俺は生まれ変わった I'm Surrendering this heart! For which your blood it bought 心がもう、限界だ。あなたの意に背きたくないのだ The mob they yelled and screamed for justice 正義の為に暴徒は喚き叫ぶ That wrath was ours we are to blame 怒りの矛先は私たちへと向いている You made a spectacle of rulers あなたは支配を始める Denying you at a king's fame 王の名声を否定し Having crushed the written cannon 描かれた大砲を破壊し That wrote of all our guilt and shame 私たちの全ての罪悪感と恥を染み込ませ Displayed upon the tree it was hailed その染みを木に映し出す The saving power of Your name あなたの名の力を遺す And I was once a dead man 私はかつて家もなく死んだかのように彷徨う異邦人だった A stranger with no home You saw this wretch この無残さを目にし And you gave him life 彼に命を与え直した Forever I'll praise you 永遠にあなたを偲び I will praise you 感謝を忘れない
WOW! Hands own the most powerful music video that I have ever seen. So perfectly illustrating the unfathomable grave and mercy that the Lord offers us.
Totally amazing work! I have never thought I would like sooo much this style of music (before Christ I was listening to some hard music too but it was making me even more depressed and angry). Your songs have powerful messages and the most important- I really feel you are inspired by God and what you do is for His glory!
WOW!!! what a great song about redemption and that God saves the worst of sinners, "I was once a dead man" I have to say this song delivers an amazing message about God's redemption in a good song. LOVES IT!
I was looking at new bands to listen to and i found this on google. Yes google. It was the most interesting to me so my first song i listened to was this one. I was gosh darn surprised in how good it is. I wasnt expecting much but i got a slap in the face and realize i really like it.
Wow, rock for the Lord! It's so refreshing to know that meaningful Christian songs are still being made today. All I see on MTV and hear on the radio is monotonous sexualy explicit cotton candy lyrics, good to see some sane musicians still making great inspiring music! Godspeed
although I am not religious, I do have a major respect in the belief,passion, and depth in the music they play. I can say that they get the point across....
