I’m a young, lonely and lost man. I felt I had no one else to turn to but God at this point. Please pray for me. My heart is burdened with depression

Despite being Protestant, my grandma requested this to be sang at her funeral (I’ve been told this is a Catholic hymn). She passed 19/2/23 and the funeral was 23/2/23. I appreciate that she chose such a positive hymn that really celebrated everything she believed in. I miss you so much, grandma. I’ll always love you.

I was in dark and sin......your hand saved me. 16 years sober and still passing it on. Thank you God for my beautiful life.

*I was paralyzed in bed last year and I heard Jesus say out loud to me - If you believe in me get up and walk💜🕊💜 I got up and not only walked but went for a walk outside. Praise God!!!!! GOD IS ALWAYS WORKING!!!! ✌💜🕊🙏*

I am Catholic and this song makes me cry. It gives me hope. I hope that everyone is safe and well. May God be with you.

*I was in 4 stag in cancer doctor told me I have 6 months left I was praying I was so sad I have girl 10 years old son 9 never smoked or drink none of my family I was praying I hold on God is promise I am still here with no medication or kimo to just glorify His name amen *

Jesus is the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the father except through him.

To My Protestant Brothers and Sisters. I was Born Jewish, my great grandfather was in the biggest Synagogue in Baltimore Md.U.S. As a 5 year old, after a small pox incarceration my mother felt ill and fell unconcious. I PRAYED to JESUS. He was instinctually in my mind. I PRAYED & said Please save my mother, I'll NEVER leave you, so, I Didn't. I wore a Crucifix, given to me. It was one a Catholic Priest were wood in the Center and the the Christ was Crucified to it. My point is, I'm Catholic now, but spent 20 years as a DEVOUT DEVOUT Christian.UNDER NO SPECIFIC SECT. Now CATHOLIC I felt hos LOVE as much as I do now. He talks to me still, in his way. My time when I was a CHRISTIAN.not CATHOLIC or PROTESTANT or any specific sect. HE IS PURE LOVE. THE LABELS & RITUALS Are indeed important. BUT WHATS MOST IMPORTANT, IS THAT CHRIST IS YOUR BELOVED. AND HE ADORES EACH CELL WE HAVE. WE ARE FORTUNATE FOR HIM & HIS PASSION.

I am Catholic and this is one my favorite songs we sing. To me we don’t sing it often enough.

This is not just a catholic song. It is a beautiful Christian song.

My mother and I are listening together, she is dying on hospice and does not have much longer. I thank God for giving me the opportunity to be with my mother in her final days. God bless.

I am Methodist and this song has repeatedly sung in our church. I always cried and could never get thru the whole song. I requested for the song to be sung at my mothers funeral by the congregation when the family is sitting, but I could not sit and my whole family stood to sang it to my mother and that was the first time I was able to sing it all the way thru and not shed a tear. Now it is my go to song every morning before I get out of bed🙏♥️

Whoever is reading this comment, God will bless you abundantly in terms of physical, emotional, mental, and above all, spiritual. You will be healed! In Jesus name! +

I'm a Protestant and I've just heard this song sung by a kid in front of the church for us in the Sunday mass to celebrate The Earth Day. Reading the comments, I've just known this beautiful song is Catholic hymn.. I'd love to see the Catholic choir sing this song.. must be lovely ❤

I'm from a pentecost background. Shalom to all the Christians & non Christians. We ought be....ONE IN CHRIST 🙏🙏

I played this at my mother's burial yesterday. What a beautiful , beautiful song. Thank you to the people who played and wrote this song. It helps bring me closer to God and Jesus, which is where my mom is now.

Living a catholic lifestyle is not easy in today's world filled with sin and losing almost all sense of morality. But to the Catholics and fellow Christians out there, stay strong. God will never desert us

My daughter heard this and went to the mission field. She met her husband and married, and now they have three children.

Praying for the people of Beirut who are affected by the explosion, that may their hearts be healed.

I cannot understand how some people have given thumbs down to this beautiful and so profound hymn. May they one day find God's love within their hearts.

I may be 13 but I have of the worst lives my grandpa passed away my mom is gone my dad hates me I only have God to look up to. this song lifts my spirit all the time. I'm such a strong believer God is always with me

I'm just 11 but I feel GODS touch when me and my class sing this song.Let us take a moment and thx the Lord 😊😊😊

Thank you Jesus Christ my Lord, for everything you have done in me, my family, my daughter and sons, my brothers and families of my brothers, my marriage, my ministry, my finances, my health, and there’s a thousand reasons to be thankful!!! Keep me on your ways and don’t let me go neither to the right or to the left! I need to be full of your Holy Spirit every time! Love you Jesus Christ my Lord...

I’m a Christian Fundamental Gospel Preacher that works in a church that reaches out to the military. I grew up in a Catholic Church as a child, and I can truly say the Catholic faith has some of the most uplifting and beautiful music.

Praying for all those effected by this pandemic may God heal the world

I am young and I have plans on becoming a Roman Catholic Priest. Edit: Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I am still certainly praying about it. Decerning gets hard.

I am a Catholic at birth and always be. I started to sing this hymn when i came to the city and joined masses at our Catholic churches. Singing this song makes my tears running down my cheeks. 😘😘🙏🙏

No one cares for me But I cared for them I need those loving arms Lord.Wrap me with Your arms

This is my favorite hymn to sing in Church. Whenever they start it, tears fill my eyes because of how beautiful it is. I'm truly happy to be a child of GOD, and will let nothing take it away. May GOD bless all of you and watch over you as you go through you day!!

Jesus wants you more than anything. Reach out and he will answer. Anything is possible with Christ Jesus. He hears the oppressed. FAITH WORKS😘

We played this at my dad's funeral, and I get so choked up everytime I hear it, makes me think of him and how much I miss him. My father was devout in his faith, I can still picture him saying his rosary everyday, his rosary beads sit on mom's nightstand every night along with his picture. I think this is perhaps the most beautiful of all the Catholic Hymns, and for that there are many.

My dads funeral was on Monday, he always kept his faith. This was the opening hymn. It was also for his father and mother. It’s very special to me and my family

I just got out of breast surgery as mastectomy and I am alert to go home. I am going to meet with a priest later and ask for a rosary, communion and reading material to keep my mind busy I have a lot of support and God will never leave me alone. I have alot of prayers and I am listening to some Catholic hymns. Love and God bless all of you!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤

I sang this at my nana’s funeral and I know how much this song means to me, so I want to take a minute to say that I am praying for anyone going through a hard time- pandemic related or otherwise- you are always in my prayers.

To the 1% who reads this Your skin isn't paper, don't cut it Your face isn't a mask, don't cover it Your body isn't a book, don't judge it Your life isn't a movie, don't end it Your heart isn't a door, don't lock it You're beautiful💓 Be you... Now please spread this message to the other 99%

Prayers for the Chinese people, who are suffering devastating floods. 'I will hold Your people in my heart.' 'Do good to those who hate you.'

I just hope my sons will play this song at my funeral.. as a reminder to carry on the torch and keep on going with faith and service ! ❤proud to be Catholic !

jesus we trust in you. beautiful song makes you feel the presence of our lord. thank you Jesus for all your miracles in my life amen.

Im Christian ✝️ and i was at a funeral today or 5/4/2024 and i lookes it up and i love it ❤

He will save us. He will heal us. Trust in Him❤️🙌

This song doesn’t make me sad, it reminds me of the strength that God has. No one else can make me more than I am. Only God has that much power.

I am not a Church goer and haven't been for many years, but I still believe that one day I will be called by my Creator. I am now at the age of 60 and in deteriorating health, realising this, my head is starting to tell me my days are numbered on this earth plane. Somehow I do not feel afraid, just want to know my Wife and Family will be looked after. I don't have that bottom less pit of money to share. Just want them all to know I love them. Why am I writing this to strangers???? not sure of the answer apart from searching for such hymns as this which I have sung in Church in past years and like, as it gives me comfort singing and listening to the lyrics. As a result of this I have now chosen two hymns this one and the other is Take My Life and Let it be. Having left my country of birth (UK) and now living in Spain I don't want some Vicar attempting to have known me for years saying things about me that all would think is this the same person WE KNOW? The other reason I am choosing the songs with lyrics is having attending more funerals than other celebrations in my life I find it difficult to sing in celebration of the life being overcome more so with the loss. So this way whoever, if anyone does attend they can simply stand read the lyrics listen to the beautiful voices and if able to do so join in. ALAN BORBEAU I too like so many have been through those dark time my friend but have found the strength somehow to continue so please do not feel alone. It is not for us to decide when. Be thankful of each new day and enjoy, as this life is no rehearsal, we do not get a second chance at it. Throughout my life I have felt that my only purpose here on this earthplane was to be of help to others when I can - where and if I can. I am therefor proud that I have had the opportunity of doing this being an active member of the UK Emergency Service and an International Voluntary Humanitarian Organisation working with and training volunteers who also want to help others in crisis, this work spread over 30+ years. I still help in this country too as a Volunteer with our local Proteccion Civil but sadly I am not currently active due to ill health. Maybe doing this is me trying to say i think I have tried to do good but also realise that I am also a sinner in so many ways and have often prayed to God for forgiveness, but there are only so many times you can do this. God knows what we have done right or wrong and only He Will Be Our Judge. I fall at your feet Lord and accept you decision. TO ALL who take the time reading this BE HAPPY live your life to the full, be PROUD of who and what your are and ignore any of the prejudicial comments or opinions of others, it is your life. God Bless you all and accept my love and hug. KEEP UP THIS EXCELLENT FACILITY.

who else is here because you grew up Catholic and don't really practice anymore but still love this song... this and Be Not Afraid

This song reminds me of when I was serving mass back in london..I miss those days.. I was closer to God..God please bless me and everyone around me who are longing for you.

Here I am Lord. These words just speak to my soul. I am suffering with stage 4 of a terminal illness but my eyes are focused only on our Lord. What a beautiful tribute. What lovely words. It just makes me hold up my arms over my head to Him...as any child would to their father. Peace and blessings to all who listen to this lovely hymn.

This song was on my mind yesterday for some reason and now I've randomly come across it here on KZfaq without even searching for it. God has His ways of speaking to me 😊 praise Jesus 🙏🏽

I'm Catholic as well and I think this song greatly illustrates what God asks of us and I think it's one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs written in modern times ❤️✝️ Here I am Lord...is it I lord? I hear a very soft and gentle yet affirming Yes!!! 💕✝️💕✝️💕 It makes me cry as well because I think I fall short much of the time 😢😢😢

I left going to church after I graduated from a Catholic girls high school..I met a man who is non Catholic and struggled to raise my children in a Catholic home..10 yrs ago this relationship ended and my kids who I put thru Catholic schools have recieved their baptism on their own free will and I have since met another loving man who was non Catholic and I praise God that he got baptized last year and also got Confirmed as Catholic..Praise God always❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

Our father who art heaven hallowed be thy name

This will be the entrance hymn for my mother's memorial Mass... it's set for the day before Palm Sunday. She passed away at age 87 just this past Monday, after a long battle with lupus and dementia... and THREE YEARS in hospice care. R.I.P., Mom.

I am a catholic from Papua New Guinea. This song when I first heard it, I feel God is calling me. And the song makes me cry.

This is a most beautiful song!! It is soo peaceful and calming. The perfect song when you're feeling very sad and in need of consolation. Know Our Lord loves everyone unconditionally!!!!

I AM A CHRISTIAN FOREVER AMEN

Jesus just wants us to love each other. Sounds simple.

I'm praying for everyone here love you all

This was the song for communion at the funeral for a woman who was an amazing person in my life. A true servantof Christ. Her fulfillment and happiness was infectious. Reminded me again how beautiful God's words are. And this song is not sung enough, but is one that people seeking God will find and be encouraged by.

May the Lord have Mercy on us! May the intersection of our lovely Mother Virgen Mary protec us!

Loved belting out the Jesus anthems when I was a kid 👌🏼

When I become a singer songwriter, I’m singing this at a concert.

Dedicated to my darling sister Ann Mclafferty who died 06/11/2022 I cry everytime I play this wonderful hyme , your loving brother George xxxx

Growing up singing songs in catholic mass made me happy and they’re such pure songs. God will always look out for you

I love this hymn so very much. When I was in discernment I sang this many times and it was being sung when I knew it was time to pursue my vocation. We also sang it when I took my vows. Very special hymn.

He is right here with us in the midst of all this, stay strong don’t give up he alone suffices, Our Lady of all Nations pray for us, sending love to all who read. Jesus hears your cries, he sees your struggles and he will carry you through this, may each of his children stay close to their heavenly Father Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕

I am a proud Christian (Lutheran) and have been a nurse for 35 years. I take my position in being there for people in there toughest time to heart. Thank the Lord

Battling Oral Cancer, needing a "boost". I have always believed in a "higher Power." Miracles "exists". Keep thy Faith. I bid you Peace.

My Almighty father, looking after me, I am yours Lord Jesus Christ. 😇❤️❤️

THANK YOU GOD .... FOR EVERYTHING 🙏

My Grandmother passed away on July 11,2020. My family and I are heartbroken and grieving still. Thanks for the beautiful music on KZfaq. We are Catholic and Christian in my family. She was 90 years old and she joked about how things were different from when I'm growing up now. My Grandma and Grandpa have grown children and grandchildren also great grandchildren. I believe in God and angels. My family said that my Grandmother will be an angel for all of us. She will be missed by her family and friends. Peace and love to everyone. Life is precious and joyful. Let's help out our neighbors and friends also family if you can help. My family and I cry when we hear this song. Things will take time to heal our family and friends. I pray everyday that God will give us strength and courage to move forward with our lives.

This song is so beautiful. Im Protestant but I went to a Catholic school and went to Mass often I think once a week we had it. Its so beautiful and sometimes stays on my mind, this song. Also I really liked Catholic school it was a great experience and I apprecaite all the good works Catholics do in the community. I guess in sum what Im really trying to say is, as we're all the body of Christ. Protestants and Catholics on the same mission, I appreciate you all.

Peace to all who listen to this song, May it bring healing, his holy grace and tranquility to your soul.

The words to this song have always felt so deeply personal to me....when I was little, I would get nightmares showing me things that it would take nearly a decade for me to understand and my grandmother, Mama-T, would tell me that the way to handle whatever Spirit was showing me was to ask, "Here I am Lord, Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart." She said that when Spirit gives us visions of people's suffering, it is Spirit's way of asking us to do something about it. So if you want a miracle to happen, you have to be willing to allow Spirit to use YOUR life to make it happen. She was one of my earliest spiritual teachers who I feel so deeply blessed to have known.🙏🏼

This is one of my favorite song in the Catholic Church. When we are about to ordained a Priest this is what they sing. I will go Lord .If u lead me. I will hold your people in my heart 🙏🙏🔥

"And you are Peter, and on this Rock I will build My Church"

My Lord Jesus Christ I surrender my mind body and Soul at the foot of your throne. Do as You Will .

I’m also Irish ☘️ catholic. The only time I hear this song is at funerals. Should be thought in school. It’s so beautiful 🇮🇪

I just got discharged from the hospital for self harming and this is what I'm listening to to heal. God is Good! Amen

This song makes me cry and get emotional.

Just for today I would like to dedicate this song to the 2 Boston Firefighters who lost their lives in yesterday's fire.

I am LDS but we sang this song at my friend's funeral who is Presbyterian. Beautiful and pierces the heart and spirit so much. Thank you.....

I am protestant. We sing this in both my current & previous church at least every few months. Uplifting every time!

We sing this song at my summer camp and always change "if you lead me" to "where you lead me". He always has a plan for us and knows where to lead us ❤️

As an atheist... I still find this song beautiful.

Always makes me cry to think how much we are loved!

This song is for everyone who believes and loves the LORD !!!

Lead me God Almighty. I need you. Praise the Lord! Glory to his Name.Amen

Two days before end of 2019 and the LORD is still asking...... "Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people out of Egypt". Exodus 3 :10.

"Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name for evil, because of the Son of Man." -Luke 6:22 This is the judgement, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their deeds were evil. -John 3:19 Powerful quotes. God bless all :)

We pray that the LORD will give you HIS Merciful comfort and strength to go forth in newness of His Life , in belief with HIS gift of Grace, seek HIM with all of your heart , confess your need of HIM , HE is near to those who have a broken heart, nearer than your next breath, nearer than a Brother. May HE abundantly bless you dear young man... Read HIS Word and listen with your heart, and you will be saved when you confess HIM to be your LORD and your GOD.

I listen to this song every night I love it from ireland

this was my grandmothers favourite song, she passed a couple weeks ago, i can’t listen to this without crying and thinking of her, we’ll be reunited in His kingdom

Our LORD is forever with us Yesterday Today and Tomarrow !!!

Beautiful song! Wish they sang it more often at Mass.

Here i am lord.thank you for giving me sooo many blessings.

I loved It! Here I'm, Lord! ❤🙏

being a Catholic when i heir this song it gives me hope for the world today .

I have just been to a funeral today of a wonderful Christian woman...and was drawn to listen to this song and giving my life to God after listening to her eulogy

WHEN I SING THIS SONG IN CHURCH I SING IT WITH ALL MY HEART I PRAISE YOU LORD, I HEAR YOU LORD I AM HERE LORD!!! LOVE YOU LORD!!!

It amazes me that anyone can listen to this hymn and feel anything but love and praise for our Lord. In reflecting on the words, have always felt deeply called to listen more closely to how God may be calling me, where is he leading me, how am I to respond to His call to me? It is troubling to hear people so filled with rancor - that they become distracted from the message in the hymn - by the visual. Stop watching and just listen and ponder over the meaning of the words. Do your words of defamation add anything positive to the discussion? May He touch your heart and may you feel him calling - in the days and in the nights.

Pain and stress are always around me. Thank you Lord for helping me get through another day 🙏🏾

I am Catholic and this hymn is dear to me, when we were celebrating our son's confirmation, he was singing it over and over again. Thank you Lord
