This song is seriously underrated. It's got a very important message.

Hello.I am Japanese. 🇯🇵
I heard this song playing in a clothing store yesterday and thought it was a very calming and nice song.
I've never heard of this song before, but I want it to be more widely known around the world.

I still get goosebumps while listening to this song.
Any 90's kids listening to this in 2024?

[jessepaul]

This is my favorite song by Casting Crowns...absolutley underrated and beautiful...

[andreacumberbatch]

Though we all have a different individual role and function to fulfill, the ultimate purpose is the same. Different joints, ligaments, and muscles but all members of the SAME BODY of CHRIST.

[IAmBatgirl]

That was really moving. You see? We ALL need each other to come together and trust in God. Then, the world will know peace.

[Olu_Segun]

This song seats in a very remarkable place in my life's journey. As an undergrad navigating the deep waters of life finding hope and meaning for my life and journey, this song was an anchor. I came back to it on 28th Nov 2024 because it kept playing in my head. Thank you, Casting Crowns.

I'm a pagan, and that is one of the most moving songs I have ever heard.

It makes me weep for America. Thank you for sharing this music.

This was my absolute favorite song when I was a kid when it first came out. Haven't listened to it in years but I randomly thought about it the other day. I especially remember loving the lines "But it was the rhythm of the dancers/ that gave the poets life/ it was the spirit of the poets/ that gave the soldiers strength to fight/ it was the fire of the young ones/ it was the wisdom of the old/ it was the story of the poor man/ that needed to be told." And 11 years later those are still my favorite lines, but I also note the way the chorus changes from "they ran away" to "will we run away", reflecting on how it's not a story happening to others but it could be our story as well. Not to mention the overall message of allowing our differences to divide us when the Father wants us all to come home that 100% went over my head as a kid. I'm tearing up now, have a blessed day <3

You know this song didn't have that much meaning until I saw my church fall apart. This song is a cautionary tale

[savwells]

And one by one WILL WE run away?
COME HOME!! Come home to Jesus. Except him as your Savoir.
This song has such a powerful meaning.

I can’t express how blessed I feel listening to this song; it got me thinking of my personal journey as a Christian. Thank you Casting Crown, God bless you all.

The animation beautifully illistrates the point that "City on The Hill" tries to get across. When we beleive that we don't need anyone and have nothing to learn from others it destroys any possibility of the unity God wants us to have.

[ValPhoenix]

The world needs us to stand strong together now. Praying we can come together and point them to the Light.❤

[annikaasplund]

Coming home from my martial arts lesson today, I had this CD playing in my car and I put this one on. I felt something really strong while singing along to it. It brought me to these recent times to the election. Now that Trump has been elected, I thought about all of the hate I've seen on social media. We're letting "our differences divide" and our country will be weaker than ever before. We need God to bring us back home so we can stand strong together and shine our light again.

[legendsneverdie]

Isn't this what we are now? Each one thinks he knows what's better instead of working together, they let their differences divide. They start turning on each other.

[royallado]

an illustration that came from a deep mind. Anointed by God to deliver the inspiring meaning of One Body.

[faithbringshope]

Always find myself coming back to this beautiful poetic song. What a story!

[brimstonefootsteps]

I woke up with this song stuck in my head so I had to listen to it. I almost passed on an animated version of it...so glad I did not. Wonderfully done for a fantastic song!

[Ari-ke]

Very deep message in this song... Spiritually breathed ✊🏽🤍🤎
