BE NOT AFRAID † Come Follow Me...

[DouglasLancaster]

I just lost my maternal grandmother, she was the last grandparent living. This song has given me much peace. I miss her and loved her very much but I know I will see her and Grandpa again.

[wearescrewed08]

VERY NICE!

[TheMrbassclarinet]

This was played at my grandfathers funeral, and ut still brings me to tears whenever I hear this. R.I.P Grandpa Bob

[mezzogal]

hi, i'm also playing organ in my church and i think you're pieces are lovely and i'm learning a lot listening to you play. just curious, what are you playing on your left hand? is it whole chords or single notes (piano style)?

[organpipe8]

Thank you for serving the LORD, single notes as the music reads.

Lance ♫♪♫ †

[LauraKChin]

Oh this is just lovely! I miss the sounds of the organ, we no longer have one at my (Methodist) church, so going to Mass with my in-laws is always a treat. I'm singing this song at an aunts funeral tomorrow and was looking for something to practice with so thank you very much!

[te908bd]

We always sang this at marine corps boot camp chapel

[Nickman852]

First of all let me say that this is absolutely brilliant! You play the organ beautifully! This song was played at my aunt's funeral and is a truly inspirational song. Where can I obtain a copy of the arrangement you used?

[2704heatherwolf]

i love singing this song in church," be not afraid i go before you always come follow me and i will lead you home!! ""(beautiful song)

[kahluafallout]

I love this song :)

[gtdannemiller]

A great performance; speed was perfect :). Thank you for your musical talent and for playing such a wonderful, beautiful song.

[organpipe8]

You're welcome.

Lance †

[nightmusics]

sounds like christmas and a big church reliefing better if there will be a choir

[Janesark2]

Bless you, that was sooo uplifting even for a Baptist! :) :)

[luvbb23]

thank you

[GlaxoEntertainment]

Beautiful! Thanks for the tip about the headphones - so wonderful!

[TypesALot]

My father died very quickly this year, and when I hear this song, I hope that this is how it was for him in the end; that Jesus was there with him, helping him transition from life to death. My dad was the sun to me, and my sun has gone away. I miss him so and this song brings me closer to him.

[RelativeBadger]

@TypesALot Jesus never existed you fool

[computerpurple]

This has always been my favorite song to hear played in church. To the person playing this song in the video excellent work. 2 thumbs up.

[ladygeena81]

You can feel the Eucharist come alive while hearing this....awesome!

[fetalman]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[alman54]

Having grown up Catholic, this song pops into my head from time to time. Beautifully played on the organ. Thanks for uploading.

[StAgnes2000]

They sang this at my friends funeral.I will always remember him when I lison to this song. Beautiful!!!

[franchute63]

Thank for this great song!

Roger

[chilier2]

thanks for this! i need this so i could sing it on my channel ;) God bless

[razviyz50]

how you make the cross with the keybord?

[organpipe8]

Please do a search in the search BOX, type How to make Cross Symbol organpipe8, I have a short video †

[rsleuth1939]

Fantastic ,I just love it,Thank you Richard.

[babycakes1402]

I really wish we had this one and "Here I am Lord" in our Lutheran Hymnals! When we met with the priest to plan my fiance's dad's funeral which was Catholic I asked for 'Beautiful Savior' for one of the songs & I was a little surprised when they said they didn't have it in their hymnals. Luckily the Choir had it but still surprised.

[narcooper]

God has given me so much in the last few months. I thank add praise him for that. When i listen to this song i always tear up because it reminds of HIM. Praise to you LORD †††

[iTouchSinger]

this was at my teachers funeral today. i love this song

[janettehanzelka]

I wish to pray for all the Catholic Priest and Nuns. May God keep them faithful, and His church to grow in goodness and truth! And all Lovers of God to have a closer relatonship with Him.

[happyplayeruk]

I always find this piece confusing when i play, good job. :-)

[vtrix2]

Funerals are for people to "let it all go"..songs like this bring it out in many people....it's okay to mourn.....open ur soul for the deceased ! God Bless!

[godsfiddler]

You still have that calling. There are all kinds of different ministries. Preaching is just one of MANY. You are still a minister no matter if you have a license or not.

[reggaetonqueen380]

I had the honor of playing this song for my best friend and mentor.

R.I.P Fernando Rubio

[zrs09]

very often used in funerals.. I still look at programs from the funerals ive been too.. to try and relive it.. and this song is on everyone's

[kabotttte]

Every time I feel down, I come back again and again to this video and it picks me up! You play very well ... such an inspirational song. Thanks for sharing!

[tarkle]

♥

[CapPicard]

They played this at my grandmother's funeral in 2005. It still brings me to tears when i hear it played.

[liamdoyle07]

Absolutely beautifal! A pleasure to listen too.

[organpipe8]

Thank you †

[Letiish]

I love this song. I take the words to give me courage in facing all things in life.  When it states "I will give you rest" I take it to mean: He will give rest when a believer is tired of all difficulties he/she has to face in life and seeks God for refuge.

[blessedmiracles]

i needed this badly... thank you..

[organpipe8]

Ah it worked AGAIN !!!!!!!

You're welcome †

[otts1214]

It is absolutely beautiful? Isn't it?

[hcarper85]

they played this at my eighth grade graduation and i cryed so hard

[BrianThomasMitchell]

I cry every single time I hear this song because my grandfather past last year and they played this song at the funeral. The most important quotes

"Be not afraid,

I go before you always,

come follow me,

and I shall give you rest"

[chrissycroken]

same :)

[gibb744]

Why are nice songs always played during funeral?

You play well. God bless.

[organpipe8]

Thank you - maybe an answer to your question, a great send off for a life here on Earth.

May the soul's of all the faithfully departed, rest in peace †

[CatholicAlterBoy]

Amen †

[chrissycroken]

because the funeral about celerating the persons new life in heaven :)

[2008805]

Because funerals, while sad for us, are joyful for the departed. They are joined with Christ, and are no longer subject to the torment of this world. They are reborn in the Most High, and for this, we should rejoice.

[godsfiddler]

I actually am joyful if the person is Heavenbound. I don't shout and holler, but I am happy. The ones where I truly cry are the people who rejected Jesus.

[mudmarine0311]

@godsfiddler The same for me,GF.... I was sitting with a 19 yr old in the Gulf once, sharing MREs an her ketchup, and Jesus. She told me she didn't believe anymore as a Catholic,....days later, she rolled onto a landmine an died an hour later. It haunts me today,

[nickyd1231]

are you catholic

[organpipe8]

No I am Episcopalian

[tubelover64]

You have quite a talent with that organ.

[abiquafarmgirl]

Nice job! That was beautiful!

[organpipe8]

Thank you †

[broadwaystar0501]

where did you get your organ? and how much did it cost?

[organpipe8]

The Organ is made in Italy, please go to their web site ( Viscount ) .. Thanks ♫

[WestechWatcher]

Lance: You have used your Spiritual Gifts to the service of the Lord. You are a blessing to us all who appreciate your talent and beautiful music. I grew up in a very traditional Lutheran style of worship and love it. The traditional hymns are my favorites, played to full swell on my church's Berghaus pipe organ. Thank you again for sharing with us. You're a remarkable individual. Blessings!

[organpipe8]

Your welcome - my honor and thank you for visiting †

[XxsweetmemoriesxX]

Thank you for having this up! ! Not only do you play amazingly but your timing is great! ! =D

I'm singing one of the versus at my Graduation Mass and i needed the tune and I found this which was a big help! !

I love this song the tune is lovely! ! ! <3 <3

[organpipe8]

Your welcome - Congratulations Grad †

[Hoovespawsvolunteer]

I sing at my church leading the music at the early morning mass, and I love the power that the song gives to all those who sing, but most improtantly the power of prayer. This song is amazing and I wish that it could be played on the pipe oragn like yours. All we have is an electronic keyboard, but the lady who records the songs for me just puts it on the piano.

God Bless

[bestestrn]

this is a beautiful song. in this world we need the assurance that god will be with us always

[tennisbby1]

This song was at my grandma's funeral just yesterday; i really like it but it makes me very sad. ): Good job playing the piece though. RIP Grandma. <33

[catanddoglover1996]

I MISS MY GRANDMA i love u great grand ma R.I.P

[sanpedrojohn]

This was my wifes choosing at her funeral. We had no one but and old fellow with a guitar to play. It was cool, but your remdition would have been so much more fitting. She deserved so much better.

[organpipe8]

Play it once more and tell her in your own words, this one is for you and she will hear you.  May you find peace in Jesus †

[CapPicard]

this was at my grandmother's funeral, too in 2005. She passed on on the feast of Our Lady of Aprecida at 5 'till 3 in the afternoon. Every time I hear that played, it chokes me up.

[rcacoustic91]

This is one of my favorite hymns sadly we have to use guitars rather piano or organ. We have no one who will play for us except guitarists.

Lance, do you take requests? I love Come to the Water by John Foley, SJ

[organpipe8]

So sad that the traditional Hymns are disappearing from the Church, many times because they can not find an Organist or afford one, I often played for free. Not taking request any longer but I will see what I can do †

[Rogsurf]

Absolutely wonderful! May I ask what arrangement you are using?

[gja0311]

This is one of my favorites and you play it so well. I played for the church for 14 years and can no longer do so and miss it. God Bless you for all your wonderful playing and the time you spend sharing it with others. Blessings........

[organpipe8]

GOD Bless you too and thank you for you kind words and service to the LORD as a musician ♫

[jetsfan3161]

this is my favorite one youve done aside from my utlimate favorite, eagles wings.

[organpipe8]

Thanks - I see many have viewed it and added it to their Favorites - cool !

[dylanlisbon]

[whizkid08]

[tippymugs]

Excellent. Yes, it it used at most Roman Catholic funerals here in south Mississippi.

[gtdannemiller]

One of my all time favorites. Sounds so good on the organ. Thank you, you did an excellent job. Not jazzed up, just traditional and holy the way the creator meant it-hard to find stuff like that these days.

[duketter]

This song has a great melody. Great progressions. Coupled with the bass at some points, all I can say is Amazing.

[organpipe8]

Thank you †

[NukeGirl35]

superb! I love this song :) well done!

[organpipe8]

Thank you - God be with you †

[musiknouvel]

The one thing I miss since switching from Latin rite Catholic to Byzantine rite Catholic is the beautiful hymns.

"Be not afraid" is a close second behind "On eagles wings".

[kscarletforev]

you are awesome!!!!! When did u start playing?

[organpipe8]

I was 9 years young when I played my first Organ and liked it so much, I started practicing everyday, GOD did the rest of the work ♫

[CrazyTyZero]

Beautiful... You have a great deal of tallent.

May God bless you †

[organpipe8]

Thank you

[chrisjunkie708]

Loving Christ.. Forever and always!

[kayleagirl]

THis is beautiful. Can you tell me what key it is in?

[organpipe8]

This arrangement I am playing the Key of ' G ' Thanks †

[WalterCWood]

Beautiful rendition.

Is that a Hammond Organ?

Sounds like one.

WalterWood

[organpipe8]

I mention the Organ on my profile page - it is made in Italy, a Viscount.

[organist99x]

Once again, another beautiful video! You're right about the Fagotto solo, its wonderful. I truly truly enjoy your videos! God Bless!

[organpipe8]

Thank you, Blessings ♫

[khiley9]

You are so awesome. GOD bless you!

[organpipe8]

You are so kind †

[NYPDTB]

Beautiful Music.

You are truly gifted by God.

I have been looking for an organist on you tube.

Words of Thanks from Saint Cecilia's RC Church, Bklyn, NY.

We should start a fund to get you a larger organ. We have a 3 manual RODGERS hybrid, we dont have the funds to tune the pipes, so its strictly electronic.

Before hand we had a Jardine that dated to 1893, 3 manuals also.

Once Again, Beautiful Hymn.

[organpipe8]

Thank you - Blessings to you †

[rizab519]

Thanks for the lifting up my spirits and providing new hope at a time when I was very down. God bless you!

[strawberrywine44]

[organpipe8]

Thank you - I am sure you can do a search and find the music available with the chords or go to your local church and ask the Organist. GOD Bless you.

[brotherryu]

i love this song, very inspirational.

[evanescenceluver568]

[nierenja]

It's hard to add to all great compliments you've received on your video, but thanks for all your great work and making these hymns available. "Be Not Afraid" is especially meaningful to be because it was played and sung beautifully at my dad's funeral just over 26 years ago.

Best Regards,

John N

beautiful hymn i remember singing it at my school in my daily masses...my favourite hymn!

i love the letter of the hymn too because all what it says is TRUE...Be not afraid,the Lord is always with you!(I used to played it on the organ too)

God Bless You!

[counterstrikeforces]

where do you get the sheet music for this song because i want to play this hymon on the church organ in my church

[organpipe8]

You can order it on line, I do not have it, I was using memory and a MIDI melody line I printed out or go to a Catholic Church and they should have it for you. Good Luck.

[grossdc2]

I want you to know that I have felt the call to ministry, but not the priesthood, I am entering the two-year lay ministry program in my diocese

[organpipe8]

That is awesome and I am sure GOD'S Plan for you will be so rewarding. The Refrain of this beautiful Hymn says: Be Not Afraid, I Come Before YOU, Come Follow ME ! GOD Bless you on your new Journey. Lance †

[lawgrlinla]

thats is so great! I born into a Catholic fam. and for tragic reasons I had lost trust in God..I loved him but I questioned him why he allowed so much hurt in my life. He was always like a best friend I was mad at and I can happily say that we have made up. Theres no need to question him why because I know he has a plan for all of us and I trust him to lead the way.

[disturbedme5]

I love this song. Always brings tears to my eyes or makes me cry. It's so beautiful.

Thanks.

[hapipadi]

Thank you for using your gift of music to glorify God and to build up the Church! That looks like a calling to me... a vocation! God bless you and your loved ones!!!

[stvandy1]

somehow I was expecting "God will take care of you". I have found out that anytime my faith has faltered, a hymn helps bring it back.

[organpipe8]

I do have the Hymn " God Will Take Care Of You ", please do a search to hear it. Thanks

[USA1944]

A very wonderful rendition of this beautiful catholic hymn! This has always been a great message from the gospel - fear not - be not afraid! Keep the music coming . . .
