Michael W Smith Tribute w/Amy Grant & American Idol Contestants (39th Dove Awards)

[@randyfields563]

I was there 25 years ago with these 2 MWS and Amy when we all was younger I was a bus driver on their tour, I mostly drove Rock and Roll so it was refreshing to do this tour and I had a great time being on it.

I bet ! Much better people for sure. What Rock bands do you remember being the craziest for?

[@danielpavlovich4219]

I was once a child, a teenager… a young man. I loved Amy Grant. I would put on her “song cassettes”; with his songs, and time would stop as the tapes wore out. It just so happened that those who liked Amy Grant’s music also liked Michael W Smith’s. We couldn’t understand why so much chemistry and obvious mutual admiration didn’t turn into a boyfriend or a girlfriend. MWS was more complete, but when they sang a duet WOW! Amy's freshness and her incomparable voice, our hearts exploded. Amy, the years have passed and I'm still in love. Thank you Amy, you marked our hearts forever.

[@jeannine8400]

I don't think Amy Grant realizes how much she has changed lives. I listened to her in the 80s and MWS, and they are favorites...and Mandisa! Love and miss her so much!

[@madianalino1619]

I love Michael W Smith very much , his song the reason I get to know Christ and accept Him into my life , I came from Buddhist and Muslim family but I got saved in sydney I think in youth alive with Michael W Smith , his songs leading me through my walk with Jesus , thank you Michael for continuing to do God’s work as His instrument, God bless you and all your family and thank you so much I wish I can go to Nashville one day to your farm 😁🥰🙏

Love this! This was worship, this wasn't a performance, it was heartfelt worship.

[@spiderang1]

Their music sustained me through my teenage years and 20s. I told MWS that one night when I ‘accidentally’ met him in Atlanta. He just pulled me into him and held me. He was so genuine. I was never starstruck over anyone. Including over him. He just felt like an old friend that night with a little bit of Jesus mixed in. I don’t think I would be here today if it wasn’t for their music. Thank You both for being a light in this world.

[@dakotamcmahon67]

I saw them together w Gary Chapman...what talent on one stage but the BRIGHTEST STAR THAT HAS EVER SHOWN..JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!!!!!!

AMEN AND AMEN!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Unfortunately Amy is extremely liberal and supports LGBTQ community. Seems Christian music industry is caving in on this issue like everyone else.

[@abbyaransmore4734]

I agree! We need all awards shows to be like this. Pure worship!

[@Android-yj9wk]

@@abbyaransmore4734 With respect, she a liberal who completely supports LGBTQ agenda despite the fact that it satanic. How can we allow someone to lead worship who supports satan?? Pure worship??

[@mylesdear]

Amen! It pains me that Amy has gone commercial but I still celebrate her earlier work since it, along with Michael’s, is part of my my spiritual heritage.

[@veronicaherrera7586]

I saw them together in 1982 when he just started with her. He went on to write some of the most iconic and anointed worship songs and more. And of course , Amy s writing and music only got richer too. God bless you both

[@LifeAmongTheWildflowers]

The music that helped tie my heart to God when I was just a young girl. We would listen to Amy Grant on cassette over and over. Thank you for your ministry in song!

[@frankfrank9437]

just gives me chills! Amy Grant and Michael W Smith was the very first contemporary Gospel concert that I ever attended. I was immediately hook on both of them! They were such a blessing to my life and my walk with God!

[@gabrielkuponiyi]

Great man of the Word, Michael W. Smith. God bless you and Amy, Mandisa, Chris and Phil. Always glad you’re always in God’s flock ever.

[@billdeuchler7030]

I remember seeing them in Constitution Hall in DC, late 70's. Reed Arvin was playing keyboards. He was a friend who I hadn't seen for quite a while and surprised to see him on stage. A great era with contemporary Christian music really starting to reach wide audiences.

[@matthewjansen3297]

I listened to these two FOR HOURS when I first got saved. I have probably seen Michael in concert 10x and my wife and I are headed from Cincy to Ashland KY for his concert there and a meet and greet and front and middle seats. My daughter’s walk up song was Song for the King and walkout was A Million Lights and the congregation lit up their cell phones. Love em both

[@AintNoFool]

Remarkably awesome! (would never see this during the oscars).

[@cnD64]

So glad Mandissa continues to sing for the Lord, she truly is gifted!

You have to read her Biography / Memoir. It is so amazing! Really inspired me.

[@steveveiga5696]

God continue to bless & use their talents to reach our hearts & souls to worship You Lord....

[@copperhead7177]

Angels Watching Over Me! When I am physically afraid of that I know I can not control I sing this song at the top of my lungs, Its my God I am still Here BattleCry. I think it is one of her oldest and was one of the first Contemporary Christian songs that opened my ears to more than Hymnal Music. God Bless you Amy! I love you! Thank you for all the Glory given to God so that we could know HIM in very real ways!

[@maryannturton9830]

Yes,yes,yes! Same for me!Takes the fear away!

Do you know how amazing this song is? 🎶 We truly need to read our Bibles more. A Lamp unto our feet. This song is powerful. I learned it as a teenager.

Our Pastor, Jim Baer at Calvary Chapel Fullerton back in the 70's-80's opened every Sunday morning with this song 🎵 🎶 It was the church's anthem.

Mandisa will definitely be missed I watched this performance on TV years ago I loved everyone on here but when she came out and told him to pull out the soul strings OMG i felt that and then when she went into worship I was in awe anytime she sang by herself or with others she brought so much life especially ccm ima miss her so much ❤❤❤❤

[@daianyalmeida2170]

I love this video. I love Michael W.Smith 's music so much better than the Secular stuff on the radio nowadays. I do like one song by Evanescence but I am trying to stay away from the Secular music that is on the radio rightnow. MWS 's music is so beautiful and very pretty and very clean- it talks about God and this world 🌎needs Him rightnow.

Unbelievable that much time has gone by so quickly!!! Artists recordings in our minds, keep them at that time & place, when that recording was made, & you forget, they age like the rest of us too, many like an expensive whine. In many cases, artists now gone, are remembered for the gifts they shared with us through their recorded music. Many songs transport us back through time, & back to where we were, when we first heard them!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ I so love the gift of music, created for us, by our loving Savior....
