Stryper-Honestly

[@hana20xx]

Is anyone still listening to this PV in April 2024? When I first heard this song as a kid, I didn't understand the English lyrics, but I loved the melody. Years passed after I studied English, and here I am listening to it again. I still absolutely adore this song.

My first concert in the late 80’s. Loudness opened up. In 2017, Saw Michael sweet in Plymouth, Massachusetts playing this song acoustically. Didn’t miss a beat

[@hana20xx]

@@troy6071 Wow, Loudness was the opening act?! That's amazing! It must have been an incredible experience to hear this beautiful song performed acoustically live. I would have loved to be there!

One of the best ballads to ever come out of the 80s what a song!

[@pathenry5847]

They never wavered to the music industry about their faith.True warriors of Christ.They spread the message to millions.

[@ChristopherHetfield]

That's good that there's Metal and Rock bands spreading the message to God because there's too many bands influencing children to worship Satan and commit murder. We need more bands like Stryper. To hell with the Devil.

[@robertpfeiff]

​@ChristopherHetfield no there's not. Stop fear mongering. The lead singer of Slayer is a devout Catholic.

No matter how many times I listen to this, I still get goosebumps every time!!

[@brianj4809]

A timeless classic! My wife and I had this played in our wedding. (13 years ago) And it means as much today as it did to us then.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

I went to Panama for a missionary trip and got baptized to this song. I wanted my pastor to sing it but he had to have his tonsils taken out. so he got a video of his friend singing it instead. that friend turned out to be Michael Sweet. Needless to I was completely floored but totally happy.

[@anninmichigan]

Amazing that your pastor got the singer from Stryper to sing for you getting Baptized! What an awesome memory for you and such a beautiful song!!

Just got home from the Stryper concert tonight here in Portland,OR. The last time I seen these guys was the summer of 1983ish at Magic Mountain down in Cali. I will say this. These guys have not missed a beat! Just absolutely spot on and Michael's voices hit every single high pitch note still after 25 years. I had front row next to Tim, We chatted between songs. If they come to your town. You have to see them live. So worth it and I would go again and again.

Beautiful song, we were blasting Stryper on our three hour road trip a week or so ago, and I had to hold back tears when this song came on, and I'm 17 years old. Who cares if he has a feminine voice, its amazingly beautiful, he can also shred flames with that voice if you listen to some of their other songs. hoping to catch them on their world tour God Bless Stryper!!

To GOD be the glory, for in this life I have failed him so..tonight I ask for forgiveness and he listens and smiles..He is wonderful, thank you STRYPER..

Me dio mucho gusto escuchar nuevamente a este grupo tan especial, espero que pronto regresen a tocar musica cristiana... Dios los bendiga.

[@XSavanaBX]

Admit it, Stryper was ragged on because they are Christians. If they didn't openly put it in their songs I can guarantee you wouldn't hate them as much.

[@jasonbarbush4991]

screw those haters. God will win!

[@matchieking4291]

SAVANA ON FIRE Right

[@eddierattlehead6183]

While we are speaking frankly here, the reason that Christians are ragged on quite a bit is because of their "turn or burn" approach to proselytizing people. I mean, who really wants to be told that they are going to Hell because they are living their lives differently from the way the bible thumpers deem acceptable to their standards? THAT'S what drew me away from the Christian faith to begin with. I mean, come on, how often do you hear about people being "saved" through the fire and brimstone style of preaching? If there IS a truly loving God, then He wouldn't send people to Hell for either holding some measure of skepticism about His existence or denying it altogether. That doesn't sound like a loving God that people portray Him to be. As long as you are a genuinely good person, it shouldn't matter what your views are in terms of religion. Not to say that I don't respect Stryper's Freedom of Religion (I believe that they have every right to incorporate their religious beliefs into their music and I personally applaud them for doing so), but all I am saying is who cares what their religion is if they are playing music that you like?

[@patrickperry8951]

I love Stryper. The haters are ignorant

[@sammydavidjr]

[@coldistheshoulder]

I am not a Christian but I just wanted to say that the spirit of God, whatever he or she is, exists in this song. People can say these guys did it for the money, maybe they did, it doesn't matter.

Scrolling through the comments and it amazes me ! here we have an awesome song by 4 guys who are spiritual and giving praise to god. And then I find the feed loaded with comments by one man in particular who thinks he is the most self righteous follower . Not everyone chooses to live exactly the way you do! not everyone chooses to fill a church every sunday! heres a news flash for you and you know its true.... The most loyal and straight forward people are covered with tattoos and piercings and the most judgmental are in church every sunday.

[@GrantH]

Not all people who fill up churches every sunday are judgemental, and not all people with tattoos are loyal perfect people either. Just be a good person, and if you choose to be a Christian (like I am) the best thing you can do is be strong in your faith and treat others like Jesus would want you to.
