    This is one of Skillet's songs that is written from the direct perspective of God/Jesus, as are The Last Night and Savior.
    It begins with God saying "your love is mine for the taking" and "my love just is waiting to turn your tears to roses." (So nice they say it twice.)
    Then God says "I'll be the one that's going to hold you. I'll be the one that you run to. My love is a burning, consuming fire."
    - When life hurts too much, He says come to me and I will be your strength.
    In the chorus 'God' says "when darkness comes you know I'm never far, hear my Whispers In The Dark." - In life's darkest moments, He will speak to us in a soft voice and, as Casting Crowns (another awesome Christian band) says, "calm the storm in me" [in us].
    This was great, it was like God whispered into your darkness right there in your reaction video, our dope ass dude. Amazing. #Skillet

      When my great grandmother died she spoke to my mother and said "Dawnie" (She hadn't recognized my mother in months so this alone almost brought her to tears.) "Ernie's here to bring me home. Can I go now Dawnie?" (Her husband Ernie had been dead for 20-30+ years.) She died an hour or so later from complications of her age and side effects from Alzheimer's.

The hardest thing isn't thinking about her passing, but knowing she doesn't recognize us or even know who we are. It breaks my father's heart to see her like this. I just hope she will soon find peace.

    The phrase “whispers in the dark” I’m pretty sure refers to a story in Bible where one of the prophets named Elijah finds a cave and God appears to Him in the form of a soft voice speaking. In the story, Elijah was being hunted and didn’t know where to turn. By God speaking to Him, He showed him he was there, regardless of the circumstances, which does seem applicable to what you are going through.
    I’ll be praying for you and your family Alex. We’re all here for you through this.

      @Jesse MacKenzie my grandparents were married 70-something years and they followed each other. I never got to meet them they died before I was born. My parents didn't spend too much time away from each other either my mom went first and then my dad but I wasn't there and it was for the wrong reasons I was supposed to be with them I was the chosen person to take care of them and I got that robbed from me so it's extremely painful. Not only did I lose all my stuff but I lost my inheritance and the little Trinkets and things that my mother told me stories about from her childhood my mom was born in the twenties in the very early twenties so I'm much older than most of you and having her sit down and tell me stories about hundreds of things my whole life and why she wanted me to have them and then have those things probably get thrown in the garbage for the person who just wanted the money and the property. So they took my stuff and got everything that was legal illegally changed into their name and I got nothing and I know that my parents suffered and it kills me. I guess maybe now that their God they know the truth but who knows we don't know till we get there. Take care of that was a very insightful thing that you said.❣

    That's actually the miracle of the internet. Connecting you to so many people who either understand what you're going through or want to comfort you in your time of need. Passionate people come together to create strong bonds over things they love.
    You've got the strength to keep going, no matter what life throws at you. Your family should take the time they need to grieve and then celebrate the great times you all had with your Grandmother before her passing. You even have something greater, you have a visual and audio recording of your grandmother's words to you in your vlogs. Cherish those recordings always, they're truly special.

    I always kind of took "whispers in the dark" to mean that god (or anyone you love as I'm wiccan) are the whispers in the darkness, the voice that'll lead you through it. The voice that'll take you back to the light. But I love his idea of what it means as well, that ignoring those negative whispers trying to draw you in deeper while the stars lead you away from the dark

      If you find contradictions you haven’t read the Bible in entirety. Reading several chapters of a book will never give you full understanding; so is the same for the Bible.

    When my dad passed away, I stayed behind after the other family members left and the song that started playing when I got in the car... Silent Lucidity by Queensryche (great song and band, BTW). Never was such an appropriate song played at the right moment. May your Grandma rest in peace, Bro.

    How you know you've been watching Alex's channel for too long: You know something's up (without looking at the title), because you can tell when his smile is a little dimmer than usual.
    My condolences to you and your family, Alex. I may have not known your grandma, but it's enough to know you cared about her. And don't feel bad about not knowing what you feel or what to say, not wanting to see everyone crying, and getting lost in the music. We all process our grief differently. I hope your pain eases soon, and that you have many more dope-ass days to come.

This song has brought me through my darkest moments in my life. Through feeling like I had nothing and loosing most of my friends /fam due to my parents divorce and other stuff at the time. It’s gotten better but it’s taken over a decade. This and many other skillet songs have gotten me through those times. It is my fav song of all time because of this. I’m glad it helped you too

    This is a big emotional toll for some people...

    This song actually saved my life years ago, and constantly heals me. I grew up in church but it was all religion until I had my own experience with God.

This song is a huge throwback!
