UnderOath - Spirit Of A Living God

Great message, please read the lyrics. Sorry this took me about a year to put up, but it's worth it. The person talking at the beginning is not me though. I believe it is Dallas Taylor, but correct me if I'm wrong.
I wait for my true love, but she never came
I cry for my true love, but she never came
I leave this world never knowing who she was,
departing all alone..
I'd just like to speak for a second and say that,
hum.. I just encourage everybody who hears this album
to look towards Christ and not towards people, because
people allow you to fall away, people aren't perfect.
Theres only one person thats perfect and thats Christ.
And I see people every day who are looking at Christ
and blow Christ off because something that someone
else has failed on. And its just not worth it, Christ
has blessed me and every other member of this band
more than any other way that I can imagine, or be
spoken. Just the way everything worked out tonight was
just beautiful. I just pray for each and every one of
you, we wouldn't sit here and we wouldn't do this
unless we wouldn't put the time into it unless it was
trying to touch you, trying to reach your life and I
just ask please just give your heart to Christ, and
allow him to come in and just accept him. It says, "If
you acknowledge that you have sinned and you ask Christ
to come into you life, he will enter you life just
believe that he's died on the cross for your and risen
on the third day, and Christ can life for you and he
with you?? and I just pray that you just give
him that chance to do that, you don't know what you
missed, you don't know what you missed until you
haven't had something and realize that its gone, then
you realize what you've missed and what hasn't been in
your life. And I just ask you please just give the LORD
a chance to do that and I just hear a lot of people say
that its just, I hear a lot of people say that its just
you know, "Oh?? you know, "this some religious
person is trying to force this down my
throat.?? well thats not our intent our
intent's not to force this down your throat. We do
this because we love you and we care for the people
that do hear this. And I just wish everybody just to
look towards it and give it a chance, and not fall
out. There is hope, you can find it, and Christ is
hope and your never gunna feel a void, your never
gunna feel that huge gap and that void in your life
until you turn and you look at the truth, even though
you may not see it as the truth, I just pray that God
will reveal himself to you and you can open your eyes,
just as we were in your same shoes and he opened ours,
he opened our eyes eyes.. just... even though it's
this late you can't even speak, I just pray that He'll
please just show you his power. This album goes out to
just, the victims of rape and suicide, child
molestation, people who are broken hearted, people who
just cant handle life anymore and just have to fall on
their knees every night and cry. There is a better
way, and we have found it, please don't give up, there
is a better way.
Spirit of, the living God
Call fresh on, me
Spirit of, the living God
Fall fresh on me
Melt me, Mold me
Fill me, LORD use me
Spirit of, the living God
Fall fresh on, me
Spirit of, the living God
Fall fresh on, me
Fill me, Mold me
Fill me, Use me,
Spirit of, the living God
Fall fresh on, me
LORD melt me, LORD use me, LORD fill me, LORD mold me
LORD make me, the person you want me to be LORD. LORD
take me, and mold my, my mind. Renew my mind LORD,
help me not to listen to this world, politicians
people of this world, who only long to bring me hate
and frustration. Help me to think for myself, to
obtain knowledge, think! think for myself
Spirit of, the living God
Fall fresh on, me

[@XPlosiveFilmsInc]

This song is for all the people that think metal is satanic. I know this song is not one of their screaming songs, but it proves what they are trying to get across in their music and it doesn't matter in what way they want to express the good word of God, it matters that they are and God is accepting of every single way.

[@demonicn00bkiller]

This is beautiful. Any of you who don't listen to the truth, that christ is the only way for a better life... then all I can say is let God bless you.

Amen although I would say he is the only way to life to be exact because he is life & everything else is death

[@JuryKing]

This is very true. Some people never come to Christ due to things others have done to them. It's not Christ's fault. He loves us and protects us. I was one of those who didn't want to listen due to others faults but now have been saved by Christ. God loves us. God Bless you. Amen.

[@roymarluxia]

I really dislike what this band ended up being on later albums and everything, but you just can't deny how honest their two first albums are. This song is a great example of this. Probably the only "praise" song I listen to, and I'm a christian. This song really gave me faith 4 years ago when I was really depressed... and I wasn't even a christian, I'd only convert 2~3 years later. Amazing...

[@tythevideosurfer]

​@@xJeremiahPowellxI found this band as an atheist like 15 years ago lol, now a Christian. If youve got the time, look into Orthodox Christianity or Roman Catholicism, i promise that half of the non-intellectual, unsatisfying answers Protestants have to questions atheists ask them are handled much better by those two churches, who have the historical claim to the real church and the real body of Christ. God bless you brother

[@asuas3115]

​@@xravenx24fe honestly don't look twords a denomination pray to the Father through Christ he will eventually lead you to the correct ministry but first is to love God & humbly pray for guidance & forgiveness everything else will happen

[@MatthewZelek-iv8tb]

I tried looking for a denomination when I was new to the faith. It took me years to be led to a church that I absolutely love. God called me over a thousand miles away and I moved on a leap of faith. He blessed me with a new family and a new life, I finally feel at home. You are absolutely correct, I backslid out of the faith trying to find the right religious theology, I came back when I humbled myself and prayed, God led me to the right place for me.

[@TheUnderRage]

i was just saved 3 weeks ago and let me tell u, my life has changed alot in 3 weeks. i pray to get closer to God. God has guided me to a more rich life, not in money but in my heart. i have much more meaning in life now. im 15 years old and on my way to a fuller life that i never had. i advi everyone to take the path of God

No Matter if your an Athiest or something else it doesnt matter. Jesus Loves you no matter what. Gods love is unconditional. He loves all of you. It says it in the bible that the saddest day that god has to face is when we go before him and hes going to ask you did you accept me. If you didnt he will turn you away.

this album goes out to people who are broken hearted, people who cant handle life anymore. the victims of rape and suizide. thats so intense, so deep. thats why I love their old stuff.

Wow that's so cool. I never actually heard this before even though I've heard every other track on the album many times. Old Underoath has so much more passion in it, Passion for God and for Life. Now there's no origional members and they're just mainstream. Talented musiscians sure, but not inspired artists like they were. Anyway, just hearing them give the gospel like that was awesome.

The hidden track "Spirit of a Living God" begins with commentary by lead guitarist Corey Steger speaking about his description about God, talks about receiving Jesus Christ and that he dedicates the album to those that were victims to rape, suicide and depression. It features drummer Aaron Gillespie in the background of the commentary singing along with an acoustic guitar. After 15 seconds of silence (3:47 - 4:02), the song itself starts; it is an acoustic rock song that features singing vocals by Gillespie. -Wikipedia

@Jose L. Padilla Jr. No its not. Corey died a few days ago and people were talking about his speech in this song. Sorry but you are wrong.

[@jakehobbs]

@Jose L. Padilla Jr. Thanks for the comment! It is indeed Corey. I was so fortunate to get in contact with him around 2016 and that was one of the questions I asked him. He said it was him talking and Aaron was the one singing, beginning and and end. This was the last song they did and almost didn't include it in the CD. He said it was all finished "in the wee hours of the morning and we were all extremely exhausted"

[@chevellereigns16]

[@nsG0]

Hey the real person is: The track consists of lead guitarist Corey Steger talking about receiving Christ and becoming a Christian and dedicating the album to the "victims of rape and suicide, child molestation, people who are broken hearted, people who just can't handle life anymore and just have to fall on their knees every night and cry.

Perfect in the sense that he didn't sin. Ever.

[@kooliofosho]

I don't necessarily believe in god and jesus as physical beings, but I do believe in what they symbolize, and i think that they symbolize hope, love and forgiveness, i really respect Underoath as a band, and think that their music is fantastic, and to repeat what Corey said, that hope is out there, and if you believe in yourself and if you believe in love and hope, you can get through the toughest of times, i know from personal experience. thanks for posting this! =)

The truth is, even if God appeared to you-telling you he is God, the world will end, and requests u to build an Ark, you wouldnt believe him. Those who seek for miracles, receive. Those who have already convinced themselves will not see one, even if it happened to them. If you think existence today is all random, look aroundwhat do you see? LifeWhat else do you see? People who can think for themselves, question themselves, wonder if there is a god

[@somebuddy360]

If you use the 5 senses as your basis of your argument, then I shall ask you to tell me if happiness sadness anger exist? You cannot taste, smell, touch, hear nor see it. You can claim to see these emotions, but it isnt truly seeing it, you only see the result of these emotions. This is why, you cannot grasp the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Itll be as futile as trying to measure a thought.
