The Union of Sinners & Saints: Independence Day

[@inspiredrevelations9010]

Hallelujah! Praise God! When we gave it all away! Blessings everyone here in 2024. Jesus is the Way!

[@RevTim777]

John your voice is sounding as strong as it was 25 years ago! Great job on one of my favourite Whiteheart songs.

[@WatersChurchNY]

My thoughts exactly. Excellent.

[@valerieoriordan3506]

John your voice is still awesome.. good sound by the whole band.. I met you all in April in Waterville Maine.. you are all so kind and took the time to talk with me..God bless you all.. I pray for all of you and the ministry that God has given all of you.. love you brothers in Christ.. Rock on!!

[@johnwalborn2606]

I adore Rick Florian, but Schlitt really brings another dimension to this song. I love it.

[@crusheverything4449]

Not even close to Rick‘s incredible vocal prowess. Sorry.

[@johnwalborn6050]

@@crusheverything4449 No reason to be sorry. Everyone's entitled to be so very, very wrong. Schlitt is a vocal legend in both secular and Christian music history. Florian is a B-lister in the Christian realm only. You're right that there's no comparison, but you've got your money on the wrong horse.

[@crusheverything4449]

@@johnwalborn6050 - I base my musical taste on ability, not popularity, but you go on with your bad self.

[@JH-kn6rt]

We all focus on John's performance here, which was spot on, but look at the band who is making the awesome music, that takes skill, and I loved watching the drummer. Crazy good skills! Nice job y'all!

[@accessbob]

Great job with the Whiteheart classic. Sounds fantastic!

[@maddalamoses4243]

after a very long long time I.....heard such a rocking song ..... I claim independence for those who are still striving to reach Christ....hope this song helps them to understand well!!!

[@chrise-ih4ix]

"striving to reach Christ" what do you mean by that?

[@4gumby611]

Love that John still has added some of the old Petra rifs. Hosted him as a single worship show at Lackland AFB 23 years ago and he is still awesome as ever!!

[@stephenmeloon4657]

Two favorite bands mashed up? long live both! Glad to see so many family back tigether. New sound but can sing along just like I did back in '90! PLEASE DO MORE!

[@renegadeoftruth2891]

I love the original by Whiteheart, but this takes it to a whole new level with John Schlitt on vocals and three guitarists.

[@dalebowley]

you guys rocked this song! just as white heart did back then.

[@lauramczig]

John Schlitt is the picture of integrity.

[@robbit7928]

John is awesome! ever

[@lucianodamasceno4004]

John forever

[@trudicompton4676]

So good!!! John, you will always be my absolute favorite Christian rocker! That voice is 🔥

[@GuitarDoco]

John's body language is characteristic...saw him perform in Bangalore in 2012 :-)

[@dwaynehilton3758]

I never heard the White Heart original so can't compare the 2 versions but I love this song! As a huge Petra fan, I love anything John Schlitt puts his hand in!

[@crusheverything4449]

The White Heart version destroys this, sorry to say. Rick Florian is one of the best singers on the planet & very tough to outsing.

[@davidbenavides8997]

I agree with Crush Everything.

[@ampzamp]

I cant believe what I am seeing! I cant believe what I am seeing! This is absolutely thrilling! This is so exciting!

[@amylynnhunt55]

I had no idea this iteration even existed! Probably because I still just listen to the old stuff from White Heart and Petra. This is very cool, it looks like they had fun.

[@gracielabeatrizrojas]

of what I missed in years past! john singing independence day with Billy smiley !! now I'm enjoying it, this pandemic has this good side, I have time to see john with Petra !! my favorite singer!

[@mikeflinchum7958]

Still a powerhouse voice! Still a passion for God through music! Still amazing!

[@ladonnad.steele2470]

White heart is the best. But heart and soul were poured into this and I got to say well done good and faithful servant... Well done!!!

[@underdog6729]

John Schlitt did an awesome job on this song!!!

[@KimonoSkunk]

I hope Ric Florian (Rick, Rik, Rique, ...?) Hehehehe has heard this song. VERY Well done, John knocked it out of the park here. I’m a WhiteHeart loyalist thru and thru, but wow what a performance. I remember seeing Petra with John in August 1988 at Great Adventure NJ, and was for This Means War tour. I was a thorough Greg Volz fan, but John was very very impressive, and furthermore won me over to all his next albums including Petra Praise. God Bless you Mr. Schlitt... such an amazing God Given talent. Gryphon

Tis a great song for the times.

[@JodyStaples]

I love listening to this song this time every year. This version was epic! Great job guys, it's a perfect mash up of Petra/Whiteheart. The only thing it could use is Gersh or Lawry playing keys. :)

[@robinberner122]

good music with inspired words will remain. I liked the original, I like this one too! Thank's guys!! Greetings from Switzerland

[@philpendleton7374]

I like it! It's kind of like White Heart with Petra's singer.

[@johnwalborn6050]

There's a reason for that. That's pretty much exactly what "Union of Sinners & Saints" is...

[@amylynnhunt55]

Except I only recognize one White Heart guy. But still, I can only imagine what my teenaged heart would be feeling, knowing a Petra/White Heart mashup would happen ;0) John.does still sound great, and has anyone ever seen him not look happy? After Greg left Petra, I swore I'd never ever listen again. Luckily that turned out to be a very idle threat. Both bands taught me more scripture than I learned in church, encouraged me more times than I can count. It was so great to grow up with such excellent music.

[@johnwalborn2606]

@@amylynnhunt55 That's John Knox on drums. Along Billy Smiley, that's 2 from Whiteheart.

[@tomsamuel77]

John Walborn And that is ex White Heart bassist Anthony Salle as well.

[@TubeRadiosRule]

John, like I said at the Petra concert in Steelville 2 years ago - I like this version WAY better than White Heart's original! Keep on rockin' for the Lord!

[@luizaugusto3977]

Não me canso de ouvir!!!!!!!

[@ElijahDovgy]

I hope John will perform more good music ahead!

[@dirkx99]

took me a few listens to get use to this version but the combination of these two great bands of my Christian youth is awesome. great job John. may look for this album. watching in 2017. even so come quickly Lord Jesus

[@weatherman939]

Awesome band and awesome song!!

[@HiVisl]

This is awesome. I dare say, even better than the original (and I LOVE the original). Absolutely pumping. Glory to God. Such awesome lyrics and song. Great work again, guys.

[@JuanGalvanpetraRiver]

John Dios te bendiga y a todo el grupo

[@estheraruka6374]

John has awesome stage presence. I'm also getting something of a Kevin Max vibe from him. The rest of the band is also phenomenal! The musical arrangement is just 👌🏽...!

Es hermosoo esto . Aguante Johnnn

John's voice is amazing, but this song is always going to sound minor in my heart because of my forever favorite band white heart.
