[@stephenmccollum1391]

Love this in the 80s and now 2023 We are the reason.

[@cloudsist]

Had a great impact on my life in the 80s.Love David Meece..

[@raquelitachula]

I absolutely love this song. It means a lot to me. I had left my country El Salvador and moved to Australia. I was lonely, I could not speak english, I missed my friends my culture my church. One day after work I went to browse at a Christian shop and I found the lp record for this song. I cried and cried and I still do. I believe it was God who wrote it because it feels very special. Like he is actually talking to me. Thank you for this clip.

Learnt piano, left home to escape his father. Went to study piano, met his wife there an and got saved. What a testimony.

[@darwinapala960]

I bought the album when it came out. It's one of my favorite and most heartfelt songs ever recorded. Even in the truck going to and from school, I would hear it on KPBC radio and tears would just flow. Now 2023, I still weep as I listen to the words. Blessings David

He's my no 1 fave gospel singer of all time I found out about him when I was only seventeen and very young in the Lord and he just blew me away I was like wow this guy is awesome I'm 48 now so 32 yrs later I'm still listening to his music because he has helped me to keep trusting God and letting him take care of stuff

Dear David, I am not sure you will see my message...I hope you do. You frustrate me....you really frustrate me...let me explain. You have an amazing talent....you are bar none my favorite singer. why? your voice...so unique, so pleasant, so honest, so touching. As I got on youtube I listened to your song "God's Promises"...i broke down in tears and i told you, "David, you frustrate me....there is a generation that needs to hear the word of God, and there is a generation that needs to be reminded of the love of God. I am the generation that needs to be reminded, and musicians like you can easily bend my ear....especially you who i respect and love so much." I really wish you would continue your ministry and your music. Not only because you are a phenomenal singer, but you remind me of God's promises and, at my age, the more time passes the more i need to be reminded or I begin to lose hope. Your fan, Jesse

[@hsujaya]

He gave all the glory to God as he testified how God has the credits in making the song

That makes 3 people including me.. Love you David and Thank you for coming into my life and changing me and opening my eyes to all things Good... I LOVE MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeremycbarnhart2305]

I have always been in awe of David's music and I have been changed by what the Lord has done in his music. Beautiful and life-changing. Artists like him in my childhood formed my unwavering desire for praising God through music and art. I am now an artist and musician (and technical nerd) and I give all Glory to Jesus! Thankful to His people who have instilled within me a non-stop desire to seek Him. Question: Does anyone here mention anything about his 'stage behavior'? He obviously had some coffee....lol He always reminds me of a country sounding singer who isn't country at all and is a somewhat Chihuahua-ish! That didn't make sense. I mean, he sounds like he's a country artist with his accent and intonations, yet sings nothing like it, and is also very eclectic.

[@greatbigspender]

Hi : Thanks for this great live video of David talking about how this song came about. It's been one of my favorite for over 25+ years since I got his Vinyl Album, Song Book & saw his live concert. Just want to correct your written comment for this video, that David said "Over 200 artists have recorded his song BESIDES himself", not "OTHER THAN" himself. (@9:08 of the vido near the end) He was the 1st to record this song on his own album !!! >8=) Thanks a lot for sharing this. God Bless.

[@jenniferpruitt6534]

this could have no lyrics and just be an instrumental and it would still be awesome. david needs to release an instrumental version of this.

[@ryantruesdell5828]

Allelujah

[@WindWipper]

Aw man, why did it end before he played the song? There is much more to his testimony than that.

So I like to look thru the comments while listening. So I'm looking thru & saw your post & thot Okkkkkkkk... & went on. All of a sudden it stops for an ad. Oh ok. & then I look up & see it's done.....& my mind clicks ohhhhh that's what he meant! & I swear my next thot was "awww man...." & saw that that's how you started yours! It just was humorous to me. But yes, I really don't think that that was the end. & I wish somehow I could hear the rest of his "story", his testimony! WOW!

@ Daniel Eka Hello Daniel regarding your comment:' hi... mr, i hope you give a reason the wrong`s part of my bible, i hate you opinion…' Daniel I'm sorry I am not able to understand or communicate your concern to David Meece. I just understand that David was sharing his experience of getting help from God when he wrote the song, "We were the reason." My understanding is that he gave full credit to God for the song, and including a little humor! Doris S. Wheeler

5:03- the way David scribbles in air is strange considering he's left handed like me.

I disagree with Jonah was prejudice. Nineveh had invaded Israel, tortured and killed people, possibly Jonah's own family members. Jonah had forgiveness God wanted him to experience grace and mercy toward those he hated and proved His Grace and Mercy thru 1 man taking the message of Repent to the King who did Johan's job and God was committed to Johan in reasoning with him that in his hurt.
