Here I am, Lord

[Yodasboychild]

To be a Christian, in my mind, is to follow the teachings of Jesus and tan ever loving, ever compassionate God - whose love abides regardless of the race, creed or sexuality of the "child" in question. We must not follow a single dogma, no single teaching by ofeten fearful and ignorant preachers - we must rely, for the most part, on our own abilities and opinions to build our faith. Amen.

Ewtn is airing a series on "Catholism" What it is all about. The locations from

Chicago to India, France, Greece are incredible. You will learn about the true

Catholic Faith, and feel like you have been on vacation to remote areas as well.

I would disagree with misao1414 to the degree that the Catholic church is the one TRUE Church.

[MrShyjohn]

The One True Faith Is The Roman Catholic Church



[gphodgins1]

Fantastic hymn. I love you my Lord and God

[drummerkid1993]

When I was a Catholic, this made me feel God was real. Funny how music can do that.

As an atheist now, I can still appreciate this beautiful song.

[MB4493]

@drummerkid1993 I think us current non-Catholics who were raised Catholic will always have a special place in our hearts for the Catholic songs we grew to love. Sure, I may not agree with the religion now, but damn it does have some great hymns.

[Keithosullivan12]

so im an atheist, but religion still means something to me, and this song represents that perfectly :)

[jewel4america]

amen

[antport10]

Great song! Truly inspirational!

[pertencoacristo]

Wonderful! Soli Deo Gloria all people, forever, amen

[luvisaround]

This Hymn gives me goosebumps. It has such a personal touch. Absolutely LOVE it. Thanks John Michael for singing it so well. PEACE and GOD BLESS!

Let us stop the denominational bickering and enjoy the experience of this beautiful hymn. There is room in heaven for all of us. They sang this hymn at the funerals of my father, mother, and brother in law. All in the course of a few years. It was a source of great comfort. Thank you for posting it. God Bless You- Rev. Ed

[SarahRoseRyan]

i sing this is choir! :)

[sugarbaby41194]

may the grace of our lord bless you and keep you. may his light shine on your path and keep you in his heart

[quangjd]

Anyone interested in the history of this song and other music by the same group of artist can wiki Dan Schutte and the St. Louis Jesuits.

[chorister51]

The previous response was to GBVrallycl's comment.

[misao1414]

May our Lord Jesus bless you.

[micreddy]

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this is how they persecuted the prophets before you.

'You are salt for the earth. But if salt loses its taste, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled under people's feet.

[kablehm]

Got to love how people, who nothing about the church except the bias lies they are told, constantly feel the need to bash, instead of trying to understand. Look up why we Catholics have these traditions, learn before you start saying we're wrong, other than to say this. Once you have figured the facts out, and read why we do these things, then question us, but do not hate us, hate is a tool of evil and sin and leads to nothing good.

[liquidplastic62]

For it is written "As certainly as I live, declares the Lord,  every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will praise God."

ROMANS 14:11

[chorus9999]

hey what is the name of this singer i hear this song in church all the time

[takeniteasy00]

John Michael Talbot

[JeriRose2]

But what does the Bible say? It says Peter was married, and he took his wife with him in his travels. How then, could he be the Pope?

Also, the Bible is plain that the qualifications of those in church leadership is that they are "the HUSBAND of one wife." You forbid priests to marry.

I read that we only have elements of truth. No, I have the Bible, ALL THE TRUTH, if I only chose ot believe what it says. And I do.

[GBVrallyCI]

Nothing in historical Catholicism prevents a married priesthood. Its called a little-t tradition. It can be changed at any time. No you don't have the Bible because Martin Luther, heretic of all heretics, corrupted it. Catholicism is the ONE true religion. Sorry.

[chorister51]

I don't agree with you. it is a silly thing to say.There have been far more radical people than Luther ie. Savoranola . Modern day Catholicism contains a great range of both theology and practice beyond anything that Luther would have envisaged.

[milkyverari]

we are all the children of God

[whitethronebooks]

@milkyverari I wish that were true.

[Iowabushbot]

I thank God that all born again believers are the Body of Christ! Our relationship with the Father and Jesus are what counts, not church denomination.

[forwardrebel]

I believe that you are correct, however, one cannot overlook that Catholics are direct descendants of St. Peter appointed by Christ. It is what it is, and I am proud to know that all other denominations come from my faith and denomination. We are all children of God and that is the most important fact of all.

[forwardrebel]

I am so proud to be Catholic knowing that our faith comes from the direct line of Christ as St. Peter was His first rock.

[tiapati]

Amen.

[pacophd]

Thanks for sharing this song. I love it.

[lauraNcali]

I love this song..

[54spiritedwill54]

[BJT75]

[MITYF]

[lizjoy79]

Does anybody out there have an MP3 I can share. I really want to have this for my father's funeral tomorrow but can't get a download in the uk

[Arceus16]

im sorry to hear that :(

[maureenheaney]

PLEASE LISTEN TO MORE OF JOHN MICHAEL'S SONGS. LISTEN TO HIS TESTIMONY ON HERE AND HOW HE FOUND GOD...THERE IS A GOD breko AND HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH!

[maureenheaney]

You are still in my prayers..and I don't need to read any books. There is a God and one day you will meet God face to face. Jesus said "Blessed are those who have not seen and do believe". God Bless you.

[auntbecky]

No, you hardly read I think. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so smug. You may not believe but our faith has things to teach even you.

[micreddy]

That's your belief but dont disturb others those who believe and want to live in the LIGHT

JESUS said you work for the food that will spoil , But you dont work for the food that will give you eternal LIFE

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

I think we can agree that holy books are primitive and based on pre-Enlightenment ideas, but THAT does not mean that a God doesn't exist. It means that religions are ill-inspired.

Also, you say "All I said was I liked the song."...well, no you didn't. You should know by now that saying your an atheist is going to get some religious person to respond in a less than accepting fashion. And don't bother trying to convince them that your worldview is more valid, it just doesnt work. Trust me.

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

Well, you say "We're not aliens", and I agree, but there are many religious people who would convince themselves that you were. "That's your belief but dont disturb others those who believe and want to live in the LIGHT." That statement to me implies that that person thought that you were living in the "Dark".

And what I meant was not that you were actually trying to convince them of anything, but that you should have known that there were going to be some overly sensitive people.

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

That about sums it up.

[Musician577922]

yeah, believe me, I've studied most of them.I was muslim a month ago. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but it's so funny how some people, once they know so much facts and gain "knowledge," they tend to forget about God because they believe in the whole "scientific reasoning" MADE ALSO BY MAN. Let me just say, scientists and theories and what not contradict themselves You should check out the non- fiction books that talk about the existence of christ. reading a book doesn't make you genious

[misao1414]

There is no best religion. but i believe that Catholicism values peace, respect and love.

[yellowhamsterofdoom]

There's got to be a 'best religion', because only one can be right.

I think you mean there's no best denomination.

[silvershields]

i cant believe you have said that there is no "best religion"

I believe we all pray to the same god, its how the god has been intrepreted over thousands of years, how can we move on if people think like this?

[lisakaukonen]

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the father, EXECPT THROUGH ME.". John 14:6

[silvershields]

ohhh you do make me laugh

[lisakaukonen]

Ahhhh! That would make more sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me. ;o)

[BJT75]

whayever u fucking believe

[jdenicol]

Not sure if anyone knew this,John Foley-SJ (The St Louis Jesuits-Dan Schutte,Roc OConnor,Bob Dufford, Tim Manion) wrote this one. STLJ also wroteliturgical music such as Be Not Afraid,One Bread One Body,I Lift up My Soul, Earthen Vessels,Blest Be the Lord,etc.They,along w/the likes of JMT,Ray Repp,Carey Landry, etc. changed liturgical music after Vatican II.JMT recorded this on album "Table of Plenty".They are my influence why I've been in with music ministry since 1980. Awesome! God Bless

[jschmeeven]

I play it nearly every day on my laptop, with a dog in my lap ......so comforting...goes with my favorite biblical soother, Phillipians 4:6 "...receive the Peace of God that defies comprehension and protects the minds and hearts of men" , recited over and over as I did 6 weeks of abdominal radiation followed by 3 weeks of whole brain irradiation....Thank You Lord

[LORI1460]

My father picked this song for my brother's memorial service. It is breathtaking.

[garywc1949]

Words don't come to me--this is so beautiful.

[jschmeeven]

I play this nearly every day with a dog in my lap and my wife at work...I want it at my funeral for everyone to enjoy

[wotyouwantmost]
