In the same tradition as the very great gospel songs, like "His Eye is on the Sparrow." So as far as I'm concerned this is a superbly high standard of writing and sung with such beauty and empathy as if every word was an emotional moment for the singer! And the truth be told, something truly spiritual transcends religious boundaries and barriers, ideologies and beliefs. And this song is truly spiritual! 2012-08-19T06:17:39Z Comment by T A Schmid I have always agreed with the Esenie preaching of Jesus..... the man....he was a rebel against the established church of that time....and for good reason....and I am a follower in the same sense....of the man Jesus because of that...I also despise organized religion...no matter which one you chose...and yes I am willing to die for that...if it comes to it....It took 345 years to turn Jesus into the official son of god...the roman catholic church (and the roman emperor) decided to make him the the son of god....before that he was a an Essenie Jew.....who died fighting for his cause......I see comments here and there...and I am not commenting on Tony's work or beliefs....I hale the man.....but when you reach out in what you believe in...openly.....you have to accept the response.....This is a great song Tony and keep up what you believe in....Tom 2012-08-19T05:46:59Z Comment by Rosetown Music really nice 2012-08-19T04:48:46Z Comment by Rosetown Music this is great love it 2012-08-19T04:47:57Z Comment by Likewyse Productions refering to topics from the bible is a difficult matter -- well, I think you are a person able to believe -- and believe is besides hope one of the greatest stregths humankind has - so although this kind of music is not my favorite genre -- i fave this song. 2012-08-19T04:27:27Z Comment by Likewyse Productions hi tony, well -- the vocalist understands his job well ::) 2012-08-19T04:22:50Z
