Demon Hunter - Jesus Wept

[@warriormatos]

Demon hunter is Christian. I have been listening to them since I was 16-17 years old. Please look at their lyrics in detail. They may not mention Jesus in all their songs, but in order to reach people you have to connect with them. For example, the bands Skillet& Spoken, after they perform a few songs, that's when they announce they are Christian and Love Jesus.

[@BaconFaceMcGee]

I listen to them a lot!!!

[@johnurbanski8486]

I can agree with what you are saying about how a listener has to connect to a band in order for them to actually stick with them long enough to get a message of God into them. They are not a traditional Christian band in any way at all because of how they go about spreading their message. I have been listening to them since their very first album and they have changed quite a bit over the years as all bands do. Yes, there are other bands that are more in your face and outright in their message and that works for them and their type of music. I can say that this album does speak in ways that continue to reach out in ways that many people need to be spoken to and I truly applaud them for doing that.

@@avesatanae What if I told you, the fairy tales are true. Its like the matrix, when you are caught in the world then its seems like fantasy until you start seeing the truth. Then you start to see whats really going on. The coincidences start pilling up and at some point you cannot deny the truth anymore. Another example would be x-rays, can you see them, no. Do they exist, certainly. Ask God sincerely, to show you the truth. If nothing happens then no worries keep calling it all fairy tales. Most people won't take that step, the grip of the world won't let them ask. They refuse to even try. But if you ask, and you mean it your life will change for the better, forever. Try the red pill, so the speak.

[@rubemevangelista3868]

@@sh9683 I get that people were disappointed that this album was a bit more on the soft side than other albums, I also was on the first listen, but it quicly grew to be my favorite, it's so damn well composed, "Slight The Odds" is one of my favorite songs of all time, up there with Rush's "Cygnus X-1 Book Two: Hemispheres" and Dream Theater's "Breaking All Illusions", and at the same time, this song is a contender for the heaviest track Demon Hunter has ever wrote, up there with "The World Is A Thorn", "Cross To Bear", "Not I" and many others, so I can only guess that the people that are still complaining about this album didn't listen to it enough or don't have any type of appreciation for this kind of music at all

[@TheSpaniard]

I knew this would be a killer song ever since I saw the title, being the first time Demon Hunter has referred to Jesus by name. And yet, it ended up being even more of a beast of a song than I could have imagined!

Nothing but respect, my brothers in christ I will forever play this song to remember the victory christ has gained!!

[@BlushyVT]

I love to believe that this song and album were so prophetic. It's hard to believe thay 7 years ago, this was made, and now 7 years later, here we are, in arguably the darkest times we've experienced imaginable. With that said, it is now Easter Sunday, March 31st, 2024, and the birthday of this album. God bless you all, everyone and stay strong, we will survive this, there will be peace, Jesus Wept for all of us for a reason. ❤

[@confidentship7335]

Devin Arnette Unfortunately, one song can't make up for an album. But, there are some really good songs on here that prove clean vocals don't suck, and they've been proving that for the last three albums.

[@devinarnette440]

Dakota Pencak I'm just saying that even coming this far Demon Hunter has kept the heaviness,although there are countless bands who have found the success of past albums to be "good enough" and stop trying to.Also take account that this is ONE heavy song,they could have not tried anymore.

[@fireball3369]

Const Dia actually from how I understand the words I thinks it’s more representative of Jesus while he was on the cross. Thus Jesus weeping and the bloodshed.

[@riddertopia1844]

Demon hunters lyrics make me think....they don't always come right out and directly Mention The name of Jesus but the picture of what they are saying becomes very clear after i think about their words for a bit and let them resonate with me. Their message becomes that much more powerfull when the lightbulb clicks on in my head. Their words are very intelligent and Glorify God. fantastic Christian artists.

[@wesbaker749]

After thinking about this for some time, this song is referring to the Cross. Eyes wide from the pain. See red because of the darkness and death. Bloodshed because, well, self explanatory. But it wasn't from the pain he was enduring. It was His love for us that made him weep. He weeped in the fact that he hoped this is what would get us to believe. Think of that. He endured the most humiliating death and the most painful because He knew we were worth saving. This ain't religion. This is what you get when you've finally reached a close, personal relationship with the God who saved us and loves us. Demon Hunter and many other Christian bands are simply extending His message as Christians are supposed to! Because of his undying love, I'm Why Jesus Wept.

[@wesbaker749]

Seriously, who thought the death on the cross was just a cakewalk? Back in those times, the cross was THE most humiliating death for a person to face. What they did to him, they have even said, they did things to Him than they had other ones that went up on the cross and before the cross. So to say that when he died was easy, it's just arrogance and that death was the MOST horrifying brutal death a man could face. To say it wouldn't be hard hitting and in your face would just be heartless and it would mean that they just don't care or even begin to fathom what kind of pain that was to endure! I may not know how painful it was, but I do know that when he was in the garden talking to His Father, He was so distressed that he was bleeding and sweating. Which means, none of us will fully know what kind of pain that is.

[@jamiezieschang145]

Wes Baker Godbleshya brother. You just spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen!! 💯💯💯

[@heideknight9122]

The garden of Gethsemane. Where he was grieved even unto death and sweat blood knowing he would bear the sin of the world. This is what I have always seen this song referring to.

HE is blazing in the hair and during sunrise he stares at it so long that he knows what to do. HE knows that when you put great numbers together, it means to you that he knows what HE means to them. HE is the Kentucky Friest Chicken. HE ordered chicken that was the Kentucky Friest and then when he had his profile picture in the background you could see him - hair blazing in the sun and the bright blue ocean while he looked like he was surfing riding a motorboat. HE has his profile pic, hair blazing and wearing sunglasses, and then when he took off surfing, he took you with him. And then HE knew you were too short and then he fell off the side of it. HE looked under the barrel and he was there on the locking the side of the chest so that it never gets out. HE knew the real meaning and this time his name was changed: HE loves Kentucky Fried Chicken. HE looks like he's eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. HE IS Kentucky Fried Chicken. This time HE won't let you get away. YOU better pray HE never finds you.
