Selecting the right version above: Click the highest quality video selection that meets your modem quality. Use the 56k file if you are limited to a 28k or built-in "56k" modem (34k throughput). Use the "DSL" link if you have a regular DSL line (150k throughput). Use the "DSL+" link if you have other high bandwidths better than a regular DSL line (350k throughput or better). Of course, the more bandwidth you have, the better viewing quality you will have. The 56k modem version will pixelated quite a bit but you'll get the general idea. Our tests and comparisons show that the REAL "DSL+" connection offers the best online viewing quality (if your connection will support higher bandwidths of 350k+). For those wishing to broadcast this video we will have it available on DVD soon.

Email a comment about the song (we'd love to hear from you)We've been working on producing this anthem for over two years now and the video for the last six months. We're proud to finally bring it to you as another way to find victory in survivorship. This new anthem is part of Richard Klender's new CD, 'RAIN'. Richard is the songwriter/producer of the 1987 hit song, "Dear Mr. Jesus", also available on this site. Many adult-survivors have been asking him, for years, to write another anthem and this is the first song he has written about child abuse since then. Whether it affects you personally or if you can empathize with someone you know who has survived child abuse, we are confident it will bring comfort and offer you victory in survivorship. We hope you enjoy the new anthem and the related music video.
All proceeds from the sale of "Survivor" will help support our foundation, Day of the Child. Thanks for your continued support.
