As always, Casting Crowns, superb! Brought tears to my eyes; and that don't happen often. There's a lot of hurting "fatherless" out there; even homes w/a father can still be father-less; (my case). I pray God anoints even more tunes w/father to the fatherless lyrics to bring healing to this massively large generation. Thank you Casting Crowns... and what a glorious day when you do, indeed, cast your crowns before the Father.

Well said....:)

That is just beautiful just like God's love. I hope that will touch the life of some young lady about to make the wrong decision change her mind and bring her to Jesus if she does not know him already. Very powerful. thank you for being bold in your stand!!

I love this song so much, bought it on iTunes so I could listen to it and I can't wait for Casting Crowns when they come to Missouri in March

May God be praised for the life freely given. Thanks for being faithful to proclaim the glory of life!

Your songs and videos are always an inspiration to me. You guys put your hearts and souls into what you do and allow The Lord to direct and guide you in everything, which is why I feel you are one of the best, if not the best group out there today representing Christian music. May GOD Bless you, your family, and all your friends and may you keep up the good work your doing for The Lord for many years to come. You are a blessing and inspiration in my life. Thank you so much!!! Dwayne

How I wish I had heard His voice that day...I hope this video touches hundreds, or thousands of hearts!

I feel the same, I wish that I had listened out for Him and not what I thought was the best decision at the time. Casting Crowns hits the nail on the head with this sing. I know that it will bless many women, children, and men to come!

WOW! ILOVE AND I LIKE THE SONG! YES.ONLY JESUS CAN SATISFY US!THANKS AND GODBLESS YOU MORE!

As always, the song and video made me cry...this girl is me...now with a one year old that I'm raising all alone, well not all alone, I know that Jesus is with me every step of the way. Thank you for yet another life impacting song!! You all are a blessing to me, my one year old daughter and my 15 year old son who follows all of your music and wants to be a minister. I thank God for you!!

This song is amazing love the video you put to it it brought tears to my eyes

Thanks you for never fearing to tackle to tough subjects in your music. You are an inspiration. Keep it up!

Powerful and perfect song!!!!

Thank you so much for wirting this song and making this video. It mirrors alot in my life. God broke the chains of a tough relationship but also brought people into my life that healed the pain. Praise Jesus for healing and restoration

I'm living this life as it shows on this video I was just asking God today to help me have strength and show me what I should be living for My daughter is ten now and soo independent I miss the days where she needed me soo much !This video reminded me that I need to break the cycle and teach my daughter that God is all we need and he will guide us on our paths like he did yet again with this video!!! Thanku Lord for Casting Crowns they r ur voice for me in sooo many ways !!!

I saw this video at your show in Jacksonville and was so excited to be able to watch it again. Love, love, love it!!!!

The video was great and so are the lyrics. It's like part two of "Can Anybody Hear Her".We as Christians really need to reach out and be Jesus to those around us who are hurting. WWJD

I was this very girl in 1979, even went to the clinic just so my mother would stop her insessant crying; at the time I told her I am not dying, just pregnant!! So I chose to go away, lived with two wonderful Christian families and attended a "rockin church" as Mark always asks at your concerts! and gave my little girl up for adoption through a Christian agency; only to have her seek me out and come find me in 2006!! The reunion was unbelieveable and amazing!! We all are made to be courageous!! All to God's Glory, we serve an Awesome God!!! And the first birthday I got to celebrate with her, I bought her 27 birthday cards and wrote in each one what I was doing during those years with my other children and how God had and still blesses me beyond belief today!!! I love her and am glad I didn't abort her like her birth father wanted me to do. Only by Grace can we enter, only by Grace can we stand, not by human endeavor, but by the blood of the Lamb!!

I seen it at one of the show awesome job I have to say it makes my hair stand up on my arms. :)

Great Video! We are a generation, particularly in the African- American community that are fatherless and do not even have a friend who has a father. Where are all the dads? What have we done?... May we step up and remind everyone they have a heavenly father who loves them and cares about them.

awesome video and awesome lyrics.... doesn't surprise me though... I have yet to hear a song that's not great from CC :-)

I cried when I saw this at the CC concert in November, and I cried again! Thank God for His guiding hand and forgiving heart!

I am a hospice nurse and have thought a lot about birthdays and and life beyond. I heard this song one cold early morning on my way to a death event. Your voice is amazing and it touched me. i don't ususally get on line and post but had to compliment. this will touch many lives as I am sure you know the blessings of your purpose. The female singer needs more time with casting crowns:)) Keep up Gods work

i first heard this song the other day while i was driving home from work. at first i was thinking this is kinda sad.. but once i was done listening to the whole song, i realized this reminds me of how i felt on my birthdays ; at first i was sad but i finally realized that i have people that will make my birthday special for me. i love this song, and i listen to it all the time now.

I was in a bad relationship at 19 and became pregnant. Though at nineteen I found it hard to believe GOD had me in the palm of his hand, and it was easy to blame my mistakes on him leaving, I soon came to find out, just like the girl in your song, that God gave me my son to bring me closer to him. He became the father to my son and my rock. Two years later he gave me my boyfriend, now husband, who is raising my son as his own but knows that we are all God's children. God uses our mistakes to mold us into the people we are destined to be. Thank you for this rememberance through your music!

What a powerful, moving song, as always. Thank you for all you do to keep His Name out there on our airways for all to hear. We never know what word, expression or message will reach someones heart and turn them toward the greatest FATHER of all- our Lord Jesus Christ!

Love this song. Look what can happen if you ask Jesus into your Life!!!

I sit here crying my eyes out. I am a father to 3 fatherless children. I molested my daughter some years ago. It was stupid mistake in which I paying for now. I have kids no family. A daughter that hates me. A father can ruin his kids lives forever for moment self satisfaction. I have been forgiven by the LORD. Like King David he made one mistake with Bethsebba. He asked forgiveness and the LORD forgave him. But he had to live the outworking of that sin in his family.

I love all Casting Crowns music videos! but I wish they would make more. ;)

I am sitting here crying as I write this. I am 41 years old and while my mom, dad, sister and I lived together in a lovely middle-class suburb with all of our material needs provided for, my dad was an alcoholic who didn't provide emotionally in any way for my sister and I. (I realize he was not equipped due to coming from a family of alcoholics) Both my sister and I have issues with men in becoming too dependent, not being able to move on emotionally when a relationship ends, etc. I've never married and my sister is divorced. We both became sexually active in our teens and I had 1 abortion in my mid-20's and my sister had 1 that I am aware of in her late teens. Due to health/financial issues I have moved back in with my dad (my mom died 5 years ago) and it is hard living with an alcoholic when both are adults. Part of my tears while watching the video are not only about the past but the present as earlier today before my dad went off to his afternoon at his favorite bar, mentioned getting a pizza for dinner tonight which I agreed with. Well, as has happened in the past, he "forgot" about our conversation and has eaten at the bar or starts to cook something for himself. It makes one feel so unloved and not valuable. So many broken plans, promises and hopes.....

Jesus found me years ago and while those feelings are real the truth is because of Jesus Christ I am lovable, I am changeable, I am valuable, I am forgivable.

Dads- LOVE your daughters!! Pour into them emotionally!! Allow them to see a healthy, biblical marriage with their mom!!

Hi and thank you for sharing your story. I am a sister in Christ, whose father was an alcoholic and also terminated a pregnancy 27 years ago. I recently received healing through a Christian counselor. I learned that receiving salvation was not enough for a healing. Maybe you've already been through healing but in case that you have not, PLEASE read Sydna Masse's "Her Decision to Heal". She is the founder of Ramah International (check out her website too) and was a counselor at Focus on the Family. God bless you.

Your healing starts with forgiveness! You need to forgive yourself because God already has. If you haven't done so you need to forgive your father for not being the kind of father you needed in your past and for not being the kind of father you need now. A great weight will lift off your shoulders and you'll feel at peace. Jesus can help you to forgive someone even when you are still hurting and feel so angry at what your father is doing to his daughters and to himself. Remember he is hurting too and he's locked inside with his own insecurities and he hides in the bottle.I will be praying for you especially and for your sister and father to come to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Bondage
breaker. I Thessalonians 5:23 "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Colossians 1:13 "For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His Beloved Son." Hebrews 4:16 "Let
us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

Also praising God and thanking Him for what He's done for you will be a powerful weapon against darkness of every kind. Praise is the key that releases God's character back into even the ugliest of attitudes and darkest of situations. We can praise God despite our circumstances. PRAISE HIM, not our circumstances. By praising God, I am making a choice to operate in the power and authority of God. Praising God works!!!

With tears streaming down my cheeks, I tell you, you have proclaimed the TRUTH in this video. Only JESUS can fill that "fatherless" void.

Quite literally the story of my life (you even got the ages right). Thank you for putting this out there. God can and does heal in these situations. The line, "You are my happy birthday, and you were born to break the chains" was a beautiful ray of hope. I call my daughter my angel, and though she may never understand why, it is very apparent that others out there do. God bless you in this ministry.

"Just Another Birthday" is my story without the happy ending at 21. I'm 44 now and just learned that when a pregnancy is terminated, God must be invited for healing. We are diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder by Psychiatrists-the same diagnosis given to war vets. It doesn't start with politics-it starts with the fatherless...

Awesome song and video! Should be required viewing for every teen-girl and boy! This womans' voice reminds me of Faith Hill-POWERFUL!

I love this song its really sums up my life.
God is great

The first time I heard the song, I was just pulling into a parking lot. I sat in the car listening and marveling about how it could have been written for me. I cried and smiled about how good God is. My little girl is 17 now and getting ready to be a missionary. We've lived the blessing and I hope many young women in the same place can find God and hope through this song. Thanks for putting it out!

I saw this video at school chapel and literally felt my heart seize up and had tears in my eyes. As my father suffers from a mental illness which he refuses to treat, I felt fatherless for a long time before Jesus came into my life. My sister, who was even closer to my dad when he was healthier, still hasn't really accpeted Jesus and I can see her pain reflected in this song. I pray that she can realise Jesus can be 'a father to the fatherless' Thank you so much Casting Crowns for such a wonderful(if sad) song.
