  • He died the month before i was born,i will never forget this song or his music

  • Comment removed

  • God always has time for you.

  • Sometimes it easy to forget how important we are to God's will.

    For those who don't believe in God, you have no idea what it's like to have God's love, if you did you will find the peace this song brings.

  • when i first heard this song on the radio the words spoke to me. i thought i gotta learn that song. then learning about rich mullin's life and hearing him speak about his beliefs took me deeper into the mystery of christ. rich lived an exceptional life just by being who he was. living the ragamuffin life is for me too. peace

  • When i need to just let it all go i listen to this song and find my faith and peace in the heart of a god who loves us all! So hold me Jesus would my prince of peace!

  • I cry when i hear this song sometimes

  • this song inspired me to feed my dog for once in the past week

    

  • Hold me Jesus 'cause i'm shaking like a leaf.

  • I miss him and never knew him. I know Christ, I have that. But I missed life so much. Just breathing.

  • The number one reason I am a Christian is because of what Jesus Christ did for me, (and for anyone who believes in Him) that goes without saying, but, it was Rich; his music, his writings and most importantly, the way he lived his life, that showed me how to truly be real, not-of-this-world, Christ-centered Christian. Thank you, Rich, you were the most amazing person I've ever had the privilage to know about. See you in heaven, my brother-(barefoot, laughing, & running down the streets of gold)

  • I NEED this song for where I work at.

  • Having back surgery in the morning and told the man I love just now how scared I am . I told him I was shaking like a leaf. He told me to go online to look up this song. I'm so glad I have Christ and Scott. With the help of both of them I will make it through this without fear.

  • I miss you Rich. I know you are still singing for Jesus in Heaven

  • This song is beautiful, so inspiring, thank you Jesus

  • Awesome song! 5 stars from me!

  • eleven ppl dont know the grace of God

  • Without saying who it was, I lost someone very close to me recently. And every time I listen to this song, the sorrow emerges, and I'm forced to rely on Him. That's the power of this song.

  • @MED63 car accident i think

  • What happened? He seems awfully young to have passed...

  • @MED63 never mind- I looked it up..

  • @MED63 it was his desire, as he noted in his song, "when i leave, i wanna go out like elijah"

  • This song was played in my moms funeral back in august 2002, I was facing a lot of tribulation in my life, a few months later my wife sheated on me, and left me, when I thought I have lost it all God gave me all back and more a new life, a new house, a new wife....In Jesus there is always hope. I Love you JESUS

  • @Jim03m1260

    Praise God for your faith, my brother in Christ. Praise Him

  • @Jim03m1260 Sorry for your trials, Brother. Praise God that you can look back and see that He was holding you all along.

  • @Jim03m1260 Dude your a faggot

  • let all who believe know god IS coming and when he dose he shall take the true in the word of god to haven, but all who forsake the word i weep for you, what will happen to you i shall not know lets i stray from the path.

  • @jslasher5330 mny people interpret the Bible to their own faith and up bringing.some let women preach others do not.some drink wine others do not,some shun technology others accept it.Thes minor differences are covered and dealt with in the Bible.I feel sorry for you as you judge many brothers and sisters in Christ.If God was the being you make him out to be you nor I nor many many many others would get anywhere near Heaven's gates.I am thnakful that God will accept his people with thier flaws.

  • i have this as a ringtone on my phone it is so awesome

  • Sometimes I just got to listen to Rich Mullins. All of a sudden his music comes to mind and knowing where he is at that very moment. His heart was all about The Lord. Happy Going Anniversary.

  • R.I.P Rich Mullins October 21st, 1955-September 19th, 1997.

    Jesus us holding him now

  • Jesus I love you with my whole heart and I cry out to you to hold me through all I'm going through

  • I think this is the theme for my life... surrender doesn't come naturally to me either...

  • An old favorite. Just had to hear it today. :o)

  • Wow

  • Im jealous of Rich right now!!! Im sure he met my grandpa!! (:

  • he's partying with jesus right now

  • Where are The Ragamuffins? We need to take America back with unconditional love and acts of service giving all glory to Jesus Christ - The Father- The Holy Spirit

    Rich, I will see you my brother one day as we wash Christ's Feet.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG..it is sooo comforting..and beautiful

  • Love this video and loved Rich ty for addng <3

  • Love this video and loved Rich ty for addng <3

  • what a beautiful song..the prince of peace in now holding Rich Mullins..Praise Jesus

  • @waylo4526 Wow, well said! I've always loved this song. How true that now Rich is in His arms experiencing love and peace like never before.

  • love the song but im not sure what is going on in the vidio? is this a fan vid personal journal vid or what?

  • This is SO about me. Rich's songs are so real to real people's lives, our struggles and pains.

  • amen

  • and your grace rings out so deep..it makes my resistance to seem so thin. gave me goose bumps!

  • Hold me Jesus! What a beautiful song, calling out to Jesus to be my all. King of my Glory, and my Prince of Peace. One of my all time favorites!

  • we lost a good CHRISTian brother when he passed away

  • One of my favorite Mullins songs from his best album.

  • Yup. This song is my life.

    Thank you from a tired battered warrior.

  • No rich mullins died awhile back. He was killed in a car accident. But he is very much alive in heaven. Praise Jesus!!!!

  • Is Rich Mullins still alive?

  • God bless you Rich! Thank you for your genuine, sincere, uninhibited faith! There was no pretense about you, my brother. Can't wait to meet you in heaven someday!

  • The first time I ever heard this song, I was a camp counselor at a girls' Christian summer camp and we did a dramatic interpretation to it. I had no idea at the time that it was Rich Mullins. The words of the song spoke to my heart in a very real way. Later, I learned who sang the song, and that was it--I was sold on his music. Can't wait to meet him one day in heaven....after I see my Saviour first, and my family. ;)

  • We need less Pharisees and more men like Rich Mullin.

  • To know to walk in the arms of our lord is where is he is right now, but to leave the true heart of a man of god! thank you for your words that still lead us to his arms

  • I know Rich knew Christ better than we even glimpsed, he is missed here but I know he is loving singing with the Angels in heaven!

  • Rich Mullins was an amazing man. A wonderful artist and a man of God. Bless his heart.

  • Comment removed

  • Hang in there Debbie, I lost my husband 4 years ago, so my heart breaks for you... God keeps hanging on to us, even when we're too tired to hang on to Him....

  • @Gwenlj You could say that without swearing but I agree completely. The trolling on great Christian music is getting really annoying.

  • This song is my comfort in times of trouble...

  • @TheAsharedhett

    Check my photo Out with Him on Ronald dilallo Face Mail

  • Love the Spirit singing in Rich's soul.

  • Well said!

  • Great song!!

  • amazing...and what an understatement that is!

  • Remember discovering this song in the 90's when life hit the skids. Heard it on the radio yesterday and I need to hear it again

  • Rich had such talent. See you soon in Heaven!

  • This song is so much like my life...I know Rich is with JESUS singing to our FATHER...just as I am watching and enjoying the music he left behind for us to cry out to JESUS to hold us...

  • Praise Jesus! Beautiful music love Rich =D

  • He made such beautiful music, Praise Jesus :)

  • Rich = best song-writer ever

  • I needed this one today.

  • I had the pleasure of meeting Rich...he was so talented.

  • Is this the original video?

  • Yes

  • I think so. That is author/professor James Bryan Smith's attic apartment where Rich lived when he lived in Wichita in the early 90s. Rich brought a whole crew in to shoot it :) And that floor used to have carpet but Rich took it up :) I learned those things at the Memorial for Rich in Wichita - i too am a person who has been ... pretty much rescued from myself and thrown back into God's arms because of the life & ministry of Rich! - so i remember a lot from that day.

  • All of Rich's songs stir my very soul

    Thank You Rich

  • lifechanging.

  • "Hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf" Wow...

  • He wrote it as a prayer song - and i do find myself praying that almost daily. I love all of Rich's music. It's like it was written today. (truth's like that... timeless)

  • So powerful and exactly what I need to hear.

  • Love this song, you are missed deeply Rich! God bless you for all you did while you were here on this earth.

  • what a song that god would lead us all to believe in this love would be enoughf for us all!

  • This is a good song to listen when you need to feel warm and safe.

  • Love this song which is one of my all time favorites. Just simple and to the point!! Hold me Jesus!!

  • "When the mountans so look so big..."

    "Oh my faith just  seems so small..."

  • Rich is singing this TO Jesus up in heaven...

  • Rich Mullins died in a car crash, September 1997.

    Such a talent...

  • Car crash:( cant remember what year..think early 90s i know i was already outta HS by then

  • What happened to RIch? I didnt know. How long has he been gone?

  • Car crash...not sure what year...but think its early 90s.. I remember I was already outta HS by then...great man....met him once..true soldier for the Lord!

  • Car accident, he was trown from a Jeep t- September - (I think the 19th) of 1997.

  • You right- 9/19/97. After he throw out of his jeep, a truck run over & killed him

  • I didnt even know Rich had went to be with the LORD. Wow. I love the song.

  • There are few great hymns for the broken hearted, this "hard to get" and "when tears fall" are the only three I can think of, God has used each of them to bless me at different times in my life. Thankyou

  • I saw Rich in concert in Portland Oregon a year before he died and it's one of my best memories of any concert I have seen. What a talent. We miss you Rich...

  • I never met him here on earth. I sure can't wait to see him in heaven.

  • There are few people I have never met that I miss as much as I miss R. Mullins. Whenever I hear his music I thank him, and I thank God for him. See you on the other side bro.

  • Honestly, i'm not within the religious circle anymore that this was normally circulated in. But, the man was a musical genius. He is one of perhaps 3 artists i'll still listen to, you could tell it was from his heart, his soul and he was real. I did see him live once and i'd consider it life changing along with Elliot Smith.

  • This video should have millions upon millions of hits. Many are called, but. . .

  • Hold me, Jesus. Be my Prince of Peace.

  • @xXUltiMega LANGUAGE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Awesome song

  • May the peace of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit be upon all who truly believe the Gospels truths.

  • I need Your peace right now Lord. I need to surrender my fears to you. You are in control, not me.

  • Why thumbs down? Israel is God's chosen land and jews are God's chosen people. Jesus was jewish. Pray for Israel, they can really use it right now.

  • I completely God blesses those who bless others.

  • @AlleycatJo bless your English teacher

  • @magicdude4ever - Israel in the book = his church = the overcomer = his sheep = his treasure = chosen = his folk (people). This is the message preached by the Christ, apostles, church fathers, saints, martyrs, reformers etc. You're zionist nonsense idolizes people who are antichrist and who have been anti-christ for 2000 years. Christ's people are not antichrists - they are his sheep who follow him. What you're promoting is the synagogue of satan who say they are jews but are not.

  • This song was instrumental to me just after salvation, then heard it again on the radio while I was giving birth.....Jesus held me again.

  • Blue and white= colors of Israel. Awesome. God bless everyone

  • I love this song...It really speaks to the heart.

  • This song has a special meaning to me. I sang it in my grandfathers room the night he died. I know what it say's in scripture but I still miss him.

  • this song touches my heart so much. I'm going through a place in my life that seems so painful and uncertain, where my worst fear is always on my mind. My faight seems so low and the mountain so high

  • This is my favorite Rich Mullins song. I can relate to it and listen to it often. Gods blessing and peace on all

  • Love this simple yet beautiful song! RIP

    Rich. 10* Thank you.

  • this is a great song!!!

    John 14:6 I am the way the truth and the life no one goes to the Father with out Me

  • I listen mostly to Indie/folk/rock etc...

    But, Rich Mullins speaks to my soul.

    Check people like: Brett Dennen, Caedmons Call, Ryan Montbleau, John Foreman...

  • My relationship with God has been rocky lately but I always feel the heartstrings of my soul when I listen to this song. I'm sure Mr. Mullins is singing his songs in heaven and draws all of creation.

  • I want to recommend a great teaching if you don't mind. It's Are You Saved? by James MacDonald (Walk In The Word). It will scare you in a really good way.

  • There will NEVER be another Rich Mullins

  • Not sure if anyone mentioned this but this video was shot in Wichita, Kansas at the home of author James Bryan Smith (his books are awesome, BTW!), where Rich lived for a time. He asked Jim if he could make "a few changes" to the attic and Jim and his wife came home one day to find Rich had taken up ALL the carpet, rolled it up and left it on the curb ;-)

    This song - wow. Still being used in my life. I am so grateful that we got to have this man on the planet for as long as we did. Love Rich!

  • That's so cool. I actually live in Wichita, Kansas and when my Dad was alive he would always play his songs and I grew up listening to him, but i"m still growing up because I'm only 14.

  • I love Wichita.

    What a lovely memory, musicforever712 - I'm so sorry your Dad isn't here any more. Maybe Rich's music can remind you of your Dad too. Hugs!

  • I will forget, but this song was in my life when darknees of the soul and every time I played this piece it was like a pray.Now the storm is goin but to listen again there have been more time it would have just conforted a very cold heart. Lost in time but God only know if I was every saved. ptp

  • Duchesslisa,

    I'm not sure if I'm reading your message correctly. If I am know this the message God gave through Rich Mullens wasn't just for Rich it is for whosoever will cry out to Jesus and He rushes in to save you. I will be praying for you. I know the Holy Spirit will draw you close and comfort you through whatever dark storm your soul is going through. Hold on to Jesus and He will carry you through the storm.

    With Love from a sister in Christ,

  • God so blessed us with this man in our lives for the short time he was with us. And I do feel (still) quite a void without his music. It was truly, truly God ordained inspired music from the heart and soul of God through Rich. Wow, I miss him too !

  • Well put. I did not come to know of his music until after he was gone (and that is another story) but still regret that he is not here to give us more. I also believe that when the time is right God will send us another. He seldom leaves us without a "prophet".

  • God Bless Rich Mullins and his loved ones...thank you Lord for Blessing us if only for a short time with a truly talented man whose praise & worship music honoring you, Oh Lord; carried me through some of the darkest trials of my life.

  • This was and will always be my favorite Rich song. I miss him more each day. Christian music sucks without him.

  • Yup, there is a large void now.

  • /watch?v=4DVXIRL_VYw

  • Good song. Thanks for posting it. :)

  • RIP RICH :( this is the first time i have actually listened to a Rich Mullins song...he is really good

  • I can't hear what he's saying...

  • "Hold me Jesus, I'm shaking like a leaf. You've been King of my Glory, would you be my prince of peace?" Chorus... :D

    God Bless ~Amy

  • Thank you Rich for sharing your love for the Lord. I know you are singing in Heaven now.

    RIP brother

  • This is a fine video. Thanks for posting.

  • I think he is the greatest singer ever. Notice nobody in the main stream media acknowledges Christians. I say we stand up Catholics and Protestants and show the world what we are made of and we want life to be considered sacred. First lets get a CHRISTIAN president (not Obama).

  • but you know what, we have our own following of Christian music and we who love the Lord, and love our Christian artist and love each other..

    will prevail

    Bless u

  • So Jesus said all life is sacred but not Obama. Obama says unrestricted abortion is the right way. Who is right Jesus the son of god or Obama. This god's will is a bunch of BS. You think everything happens for a reason and everything has a reason. Tell me why are millions of Christians are persecuted each day is that god's will.

  • it is God's will to allow His people to suffer, and they suffer gladly for His name. This world is but a temporary breeze of what is to come. It is the Lord's will at times to allow evil men to do as their evil will may bid. this world is in a perpetual fallen state due to mans perpetual and terminal sin.

    as Jesus said, fear not those who can kill only the body and do nothing against the soul

  • God's will can be change. Some things don't happen because it was god's will. Barack could let thousands of babies live but he doesn't. The book it unwritten only you can write in it.

  • the book has already been written, and all that shall happen is known by God and shall happen as He wills it

  • I will write my own book however I want. Say College for instance. Just because you choose one over another doesn't mean it was god's choice it was yours. When in a fight you can fight back or sit there its your choice! The book is UNWRITTEN i am sorry if this is new. Go WRITE it!

  • that is the beauty of God-given freewill, you may do as you want.

    however, if you have any love for Jesus, you will seek His will, whatever it may be.

    But know this, His ways are infinitely higher and of a greatly complex nature unfathomable to the human mind. if you do in fact choose to step outside of His law and His guidance, then it is His will to allow you to do so. there is nothing that happens that He cannot stop or allow, and it is faith that allows us to trust in this

  • amen; this is firmly truth

  • When I wake up I can pee or eat my choice, and God does know my decision but I can do either. The book is UNWRITTEN i am sorry if this is new. Go WRITE it!

  • If his ways are unfathomable to the human mind, how is that you rest your understanding on some things that human minds wrote in a book. I am not sure what your idea of faith is, as for me I rest better at night not trusting in the idea that my intellect has found rest in this understanding of a man made ideas. I am man made of spirit with an obligation to think through what it means to be in relationship to power. you would appear to son sure as for me I rest easy in what I am not sure of

  • perhaps it is you who misunderstand what faith is. True Christianity is not merely a nod to an intellectual argument or way of being that is simply agreeable. When a person accepts Jesus as their savior, He gives His Holy Spirit to live in that person.The Spirit guides and perfects the conscience and guides in the process of sanctification. anything short is nothing. what good is all the knowledge and truth if it is not alive? if the Spirit is in you then it is as undeniable as your own

  • What's better? Life, and a much better chance at hell? God works all things out to the good of those who love the LORD and are called according to His Word.

  • Obama is a christian president. what YOU mean is a conservative president. don't confuse religion and politics. religion is like ice cream and politics is like cow manure. it doesn't hurt the cow manure at all if you get a little ice cream in it, but it really messes up the ice cream! please don't confuse the 2. like it or not, it was god's will for obama 2 be our next president, or else he wouldn't have been.

  • obama is most certainly not a christian. A mans politics come second and are followed by and formed by his religion IF his faith rings true. religion is an outward show of faith and true faith is given by God through the Holy Spirit.

    It is God's will that obama should be president, it is also His will for this world to end at the appointed time. There are times when the Lord gives man over to mans own sinful will, were this not so, man would not have free will and the ability to choose

  • FOCA Freedom of Choice act is a law being floated around out there. It would repeal every restriction on abortion. Obama said if he was president and this bill came to his desk he would pass it. This is the reason I didn't vote for him. Just because you got caught up in his change bullshit you didn't see him for his real self.

  • Just another example of why Rich hated politics...

  • His songs tell the exact same way I feel, only he puts it in words and melody. He saw the struggles of christianity, but he went through them, straight to God.

  • I have been listening to Christian music for over 40 yrs(46 now : )

    And this is way up there, way way up there! Rich is way up there...in my fav artist.

    HE IS the most unique, soulful, heartfelt...

    he is missed.

    vee

  • I Agree. Rich Mullen's music is part of what brought me back to my Christian Faith (along with time in the middle east and exposure to what some of the alternatives are). I only wish that I knew of him when he was alive but blessed none the less by the music and the message he has that lives on!

  • great song

  • its just plain sense, rich mullins is the least commercial, most deep, just plain the best christian artist there is.

  • Que el Señor Jesucristo te bendiga

  • i love this song! praise GOD!
