I played this song at Jacob's funeral and it still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. He couldn't have been more honored that you wrote a song about him; he showed it to me this year and I've adored the song ever since. I wish we could've saved him, schizophrenia and depression are horrible diseases. But I'm very proud of you Jake. We all are. Thank you for all you did for Jacob.

But yet you’re not empathetic to the Christians in your family how biased are you looks like pretty biased to me You say you’re one-sided about your belief but whenever a Christian is one-sided about their belief the wrong you have to oppose your clearly satanic Music and artist on them this dude is clearly satanic no joke like not even lieing not even trying to hide it lol he is 100 satanic it’s not about him being gay lol what is wrong with u people

This is without a doubt one of the best songs I’ve heard, the emotion and power is breathtaking! Growing up as a gay man nothing has ever shown to me the real emotional toll it takes on you other than this masterpiece; the defeat and anguish of realizing life will never be easy at such an young age... I can’t thank you enough Jake Wesley Rogers.

My first love just broke up with me today after a year together, and I've been listening to this song on repeat since. It touches my soul in a way I've never experienced before, and makes me feel like I might be okay again. I just wanted to thank you for that, for making art that fills people with hope, warmth and love (at the same time it makes them bawl their eyes out). You are a star! Thank you.

He's no Jacob from the bible But damn, he made me pray He might be the only rival Holding me that way Mama, help me understand I don't wanna be held down by a heavenly man Mama, help me carry on They call me wrong You call me strong But I'm not Jacob from the bible I'm not even on the page Just a life long disciple Of loving you that way
