James Mead – Guitar / Stu – Bass / Kyle Mitchell – Drums / Ryan Shrout – Guitar / Jon-Micah Sumrall - Vocals HOMETOWN : Portland, Oregon AUTOBIOGRAPHY : Kutless combines sincere and plaintive vocals with absorbing, dynamically intense new hard rock. Produced and engineered by Aaron Sprinkle (Poor Old Lu, Stavesacre, Squad 5-0), this young Portland, Oregon band has delivered an inspired and inspirational self-titled debut album in which Kutless has recorded eleven compelling songs. These tracks feature strong vocals from compelling frontman Jon-Micah Sumrall who, at the tender age of 20, has a voice as resonant as those for Creed or Third Day, firing music as sharp and aggressive as Incubus or Puddle of Mudd.

(Submit New Kutless Lyrics) (Submit New Kutless Lyrics) Review about Kutless abc...123 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless Brad Jessup said "not pleasing to the Father when we worship and praise how we want to." I disagree in some cases. i think it is fine to use different genres to sing and worship God. Like he said, cain worshiped and praised how he wanted and God rejected but PERSONALIZING it wont upset God. If we are still using music to worship God, then why does it matter if you use something besides the hymnal tune and twist it up and experiment. Whatever you do to it, its still for God and about God. its not like we're sacraficing like what Brad said. we are just doing it different. nothing wrong with that. Good... | Reviewer: Ananya Bhardwaj ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless See i am not christian.. i am a Hindu from India.. but i just love this song.. i've listen both the versions.. the one which has "take the coal touch my lips here i am ".. and the one which has cleanse my lips.. i dont know which one is right.. but still.. i feel that is song is brilliant.. and every morning i sing this song as my prayer... its just amazing.. Relax | Reviewer: James ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless Kutless is a band that has extra pressure because they are a Christian band. They rise to the occasion and take the hits people give them if a lyric is questionable. They're just praising God. Relax. Why would they go to so much effort is they were satanists or something? I believe that God doesn't care if you use hard rock or acoustic music to praise him. It's the thought that counts. He isn't unreasonable. Again. Relax. Bonnie H | Reviewer: bonnie ------ About artist/band Kutless I never read the bio. on Kutless before, but everytime an inspirational song knocks my socks off and challenges my soul, or makes it cry out "yes" in affirmation, I find out the song is by Kutless. This is an awesome group. I love "heart of the innocent" my son believes in Wicca and turned his back on God, I pray that he'll come along and see kutless in Sioux Falls s.d. @ Lifelight!!! can't wait. and I hope to meet them. God Bless Review the song Million Dollar Man | Reviewer: Luke ------ About the song Million Dollar Man performed by Kutless To me this song is my proof of how much of a terrific band Kutless is. It is hands down one of the best songs released in the past 10 years. The music alone is great, catchy, and you dont hear many other bands putting stuff like that out. Combine the musical talent with a simple message and you have Kutless. However, although Kutless is worship band, i dont think they were trying to make this song religious that much. Steve -Reviewer | Reviewer: Steve wambugu ------ About the song Million Dollar Man performed by Kutless I believe this song displays or rather admonishes us not to throw away what we already have, that is love,for material possessions or simple ephemeral pleasures. Alternatively, it could also illustrate how we sometimes put faith in materialism and make them 'gods' in our lives instead of having faith in God.Eventually, it will only culminate to an empy lifestyle with no love and joy leading us back to God. Steve-reviewer | Reviewer: Steve wambugu ------ About the song Smile performed by Kutless This is one of the songs that I really relate to; we all smile but not most of the time. Kutless brings out the message well and clear;that smiling is indeed serious business and the love of God is what will make us smile all through.A believer should be the happiest person in the world, and I believe a 'smile'is one of the tools we have, to shed light in a dark world and make the world want what we have, that is,Jesus Christ. Steve-reviewer | Reviewer: Steve Wambugu ------ About the song Changing World performed by Kutless Wow,I must say that this song was a real master piece;especially for the young generation.I believe it means how we all have different plans and fears, until Jesus steps in and totally revamps our lifestyle, affecting our plans, intentions.. simply everything about us. Amazing | Reviewer: LATOYA ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless We sing the slower version at our church also. This song is for those who will lay their life down at any given time for any reason , even no reason for the LORD . Someone who is eager and desperate for the touch of GOD , someone who is In love with JESUS and his HOLY SPIRIT. Who cares nothing about what the world portrays GOD as but wants to go through experiences with the LORD theirselves , someone who looks up to real men & women of GOD , and pray for GOD to take you there or past .. GOD willing . Who just wants to Go to the Holy of Holies and be with the Almighty GOD for eternity , I pray that for MAN , and all who read this and may not even read , but believe that JESUS CHRIST is LORD .Bretheren pray for me to Go past the outter courts , and for GOD to take me into the holy of holies . For the LORD to take the coal and cleanse my LIPS . LORD HERE I AM YOUR SERVANT. Holy Spirit | Reviewer: LaToya ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless My chuch sung this last sunday , and it was like a slower version , well i dont know how the original goes , but the Holy spirit was amazing , and it was great , this song touches me , and i feel like this. I apologize to those who love the song for the following rant, but I wanted to respond to some of the negatives. | Reviewer: Sparra ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless Okay, I just want to touch on some of what others have written. To the person who wrote "Sorry, but I disagree"-- I think that you have missed the point that the lyricist was trying to make with the phrase "Holy of holies"-- This is a reference to being in the presence of God. Yes, the Holy of Holies was where the Ark of the Covenant, the Mosaic symbol of God's presence, was kept. But the allusion to Isaiah 6-- take the coal, touch my lips, here I am-- makes clear that the meaning is figurative-- God's presence, not a room. And God's presence is the the only place that we can find the source of righteousness(which is God Himself). Furthermore, this is a journey of the soul, which must be made solo-- not with crowds of people or for show at an altar-- but with a heart focused on one thing: God. An interesting sidebar to this might be the tradition of priests wearing a cord around them to be pulled out by if they were struck down when they entered the Holy of holies and the presence of God. When you consider that, the prayer of this chorus "take me into the Holy of Holies" is saying, I don't care about the consequences, Lord-- kill me if you must-- but I just gotta be close to you! To the person who wrote "Disturbing"-- I think that you have misinterpreted the reason for including rock or alternative sound in worship. As a worship planner and praise team member, I find that sometimes rock, alternative, or other types of music better expreess the spiritual angst within my sould and the emotions and meaning of the words that I'm speaking. That's not to say that such music is always appropriate-- many times, a softer sound is better for the circumstance-- but that does not mean that all rock/alternative Christian music is bad. Furthermore, assuming that all the churches that play such music are halfhearted in their devotion to Christ-- which I am assuming is why you used the term "Laodicean"-- as a reference to Rev. 3-- becaause that is not true! Also, such music is extremely seeker-friendly-- that is, it is not intimidating or scary to the unchurched, as many consider hymns. That does not mean that we are doing it to be like the world; for one thing, the lyrics make the music comepletely different!!! And even if we were, doesn't the apostle Paul instruct us to "become all things to all men, so that we may save as many as possible"? As to statement that this is just "the lie of "new thing"" and we should "return to walking in the old paths like the bible instructs us to"-- I would like to see where in the Bible you are getting your instruction. Christianity has ALWAYS been a radical religion, and incorporating new musical styles is far less radical than many of the changes that Christianity has provoked. Everything that Jesus taught was a "New Thing" that went against the traditions of his day-- that's why he spoke in parables! He didn't want them to understand everything right away, because the things he was preaching went against EVERYTHING the Jews believe: abolish sacrifices, go to God through me instead of the priests, love everyone, everyone is equal, blessed are the ones who are lowly and despised, comparing God to a dishonest judge . . . I could go on and on. And I might add that the most ancient, most traditional music we have in church was at the center of a huge controversy at one time. The church fathers recognized the power of music and had a great debate over how it should be used in worship. John Calvin and Martin Luther put forth 2 different perspectives that would both be highly unpopular today and (thank heaven)are not practiced: 1. NO MUSIC AT ALL. NO EXCEPTIONS. 2. LIMITED MUSIC. ALL HYMNS AND PSALMS MUST BE SET TO THE SAME 7 TUNES. I think I can safely say that no one does this. This is in part because we have realized that our God loves diversity. Adding a bit of Diversity to our worship is a good thing. And it's a bit of a foretaste of heaven, where God will be worshiped on his throne by every tribe, nation and tongue. Notice there are still tribes, nations, and tongues. There's going to be a lot of different worship styles going on in heaven, so my view is that everybody better get used to accepting and respecting (if not learning to enjoy and participate in) worship styles other than their own. Of which Rock and alternative music a re just afew. There's also Rap, African Drum Music, Gregorian Chant (now there's an oldie you don't hear much-- which I find very soothing to my soul even though I don't understand all the Latin) and so on. Finally, I feel that I must answer the charge that "the young generation of today has no idea what God's word says". I believe that some of my quotations have already illustrated a ready knowledge of my Bible, but let me also say that the Bible says "Judge not, lest ye be judged", as well as instructing us in the epistles not to show favoritism to anyone. I may wear a tee and jeans to church but that still meets God's requirement of modesty. And David, "a man after God's own heart" did many of the things that some of the older generation look down on us for. If you doubt it, read about when he brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem-- he is described as leaping and dancing and taking off some of his clothes in a state of joyous abandon in worship to the Lord. And because his wife Michal (Saul's daughter) despised him for "making a fool out of himself", the Lord punished her by making her barren!-- which was an enormous social stigma back then as well as a deprivation of kids. For myself, I must say that I find this song incredibly powerful (because of the lyrics) and I love it. I'll probably still be singing it when God calls me home to heaven and I finally get to see him face to face. Peter Pevensie | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song More Than It Seems performed by Kutless For me this song represents Peter Pevensie when he firsts arrives to Narnia and realizes of the hope that so many of the creatures put on him and his siblings, but especially on him. He feels he's not capable and not worthy, but Aslan gives him strength and shows him that he is capable of defeating the White Witch and becoming King of Narnia. And more than that, it's his duty. And slowly he changes and, through the story, realizes that he must do the right thing: fighting against evil and ruling Narnia. i love it | Reviewer: karen ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless i think the words of this song is so awesome. this song really touches my heart and blesses my soul.to really appreciate though the event illustrated in the song, someone has to be at a certain level with GOD. Disturbing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless AMAZING..... | Reviewer: Brad Jessup | 2/21/2008 "This song ROCKS, I am on a worship team and we play a softer version (Acoustic) that does not have the bite, so we are stepping it up:) This song gets you in the groove with the Holy Spirit, which is where we all need to stay at all times:) Praising the King:)" This statement is very disturbing. If having "the bite", "stepping it up" or getting in the groove means music with a rock or alternative sound coupled with extreme volume (like mostlaodicean churches today), then according to God's word, the Holy Spirit will have nothing to do with it. The bible says many times not to pattern yourselves after the world. Not in speech, dress, music...in any way. Those who are well read in the word of God and know Him well, know that it is not pleasing to the Father when we worship and praise how we want to. This is what Cain did when he offered a sacrifice they way he wanted to and God rejected him. Abel offered the sacrifice the way God wanted it to be and this God accepted. It's time to turn away from the lie of the "new thing" and return to walking in the old paths like the bible instructs us to. Sadly, the young generation of today has no idea what God's word says, if they did then their actions, appearance, attitude and demeanor would reflect Him. The old generation has failed to teach the young generation the ways to walk therein. they are totally on top | Reviewer: Praise ------ About artist/band Kutless to sofi: Yes all of those groups you named are all Christians. I am practically a hardcore rock fan so I would know. Kutless rocks the house. I have other bands that are like them though. To me, there is no first place..if they all share the love of Christ they are all winners lovely song | Reviewer: thabang ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless Hey there! I really lyked da lyrics 2 da song its a really touching song it touched my heart n just helped me on living my lyf as a better christian.I cant wait 4 da next song hopefully it will b as gr8t as dis 1.Luv Thabang no other band has blessed me more | Reviewer: demon ------ About artist/band Kutless first off, the band members ARE NOT mean in any way, shape, or form. they are some of the coolest dudes i've ever met and it was clear from the jump that they live for and through christ. they ALWAYS take time after their shows to sit down and sign autographs and fellowship a little bit. i can't think of ONE mainstream band that does that on a consistent basis like these awesome guys do. if you've never heard kutless, i really feel sorry for you. go listen to them right now. www.kutlessrocks.com www.exclusivekutless.com AMAZING..... | Reviewer: Brad Jessup ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless This song ROCKS, I am on a worship team and we play a softer version (Acoustic) that does not have the bite, so we are stepping it up:) This song gets you in the groove with the Holy Spirit, which is where we all need to stay at all times:) Praising the King:) Holy of Holies | Reviewer: Kyoko Marie ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless I love this song. It shows how their are couts, priests and alters, but that isn't what everyone needs. Christ alows us to worship how it will most impact us and our relationship with him. We can go PAST the crowds, PAST the alter, PAST the preists. HE is the HOLY OF HOLIES, and our souls can go strait to HIM. That is a wonderful message. We don't need the preists, the crowds the alters. We can go strait to the source, strait to the HOLY OF HOLIES; we CAN go STRAIT to HIM. And that has made all the difference. Sorry but I disagree | Reviewer: Randy ------ About the song Take Me In performed by Kutless First of all let me say that I like the song, it's the lyrics I have a problem with. I find the references to the temple with it's "crowds of people", "priests who sing your praise", "outer courts", and "brazen alter" troubling especially when coupled with the phrase "I hunger for your righteousness, But it's only found in one place". It's that last line that bothers me the most because it's not found only in one place. His righteousness is found everywhere because He is everywhere. To me that is what Christ is about. He's about not needing priests and temples and certainly not having a place called the "Holy of Holies". When Jesus surrendered His spirit the curtain covering the Holy of Holies was torn. To me that says God is everywhere and we can find Him anywhere. I don't have to go somewhere special to encounter God because He is everywhere. Yes I am made righteous by the blood of the Lamb but I don't have to go someplace for that to happen, it can and does happen anywhere. I find the lyrics to the song too restrictive and that troubles me.
