  • What a Holy Spirit inspired song, a call to frienship, eternal life and a loving relationship with the most gentle person ever lived on earth, Healing mercies flow with freedom from dispair, yes we need to meet Him and give Him every care, to set us free from the bondage of sin.

  • ...Hi si Doesrksen when you visit Philippines...?thanks God for the Gift that you inspiring us...Gbu

  • John the Baptist stood in the river dunking people, baptizing them. This is the concept -- people meet Jesus in the river to be washed in the blood.

    They don't go to a frozen river in the middle of winter. Not rocket science.

  • I can no longer live in this meaningless exsistence...

  • lol ... I think the River would seem more inviting if it wasn't covered with cold ice and snow. :-)

  • I love this song. It says it all. It BLESSES my soul.

She is at the river my friend with Jesus today! God bless you my friend. I don't know you but I have chosen this song because of your posting to be played at my funeral when I am called home.

  • I don`t know why I thought Brian Doerksen lived in the 19th century......I am so surprised and confused now.....

  • 14 years of alcoholism and God restored my failing health, this song was played on the day of my baptism.I sure felt the presence of my Heavenly Father. almost 3 years sober and I am alive to share God perfect love

  • @bigbigbigbigbird Praise the Lord!!!

  • @bigbigbigbigbird Praise God!

  • @bigbigbigbigbird I have had 15 years on-off addiction and I had watched Brian's video "Just As I Am" on Dec 18th I was have a hard time dealing so I went forward at church and Jesus cleansed me from the cocaine. Praise Him for your healing because if one part of the Body of Christ is in pain or distress we should all be there! I Praise Him for mine. Janet Tripp-Survis on Facebook

  • Love this song. Praise the Lord.

  • Lasst uns anhalten im Gebet, denn Jesus ist mit uns.

  • Don't worry, Jesus still loves you.

  • yes GOD has LOVE EVEN FOR YOU SATAN WORSHIPER.

  • The only reason that christian prayers fails these days is because ppl don't endure anymore...

    Christ is alive, wonderfull savior, theyre wishing they could burn his soul in the flames...

    I'll pray for you man Jesus died for you to!

  • @jordanrivers1 i don't know who you originally wrote this comment for, but let me tell you that you are absolutely RIGHT! i was raised in the occult & have had a terrible time getting free since i came to Christ, but with each passing day Christ makes himself more real to me & shows himself more than able to set me free from the past & from all the mistakes i've made. he truly is my savior, healer & deliverer! nobody is beyond the reach of his grace! i can testify to it everyday! PRAISE GOD AMEN

  • @RobertBaral365

    Amen-- Jesus still loves you & weeps for you daily. But I don't understand why.

    May many prayers be said for your soul.

  • This has become one of my favourite songs. Both Brian and the lady that sings with him have beautiful voices. They are both so talented .

  • jesus viene pronto!!

  • Do you have the actual file that can be sent as I would like to do this song in church on Sunday and it might be nice to have the slide show up during the song...

  • be careful of playing songs with a timed slide in the backrground...It forces you to have to time your song perfectly, and if you sway form the tempo it will get a little sketchy

  • Jesus is Adonai, HE paid it all on the cross for our freedom. HE is waiting that anyone to humble himself to call on Him. 2Chro 7;14

  • The Lord touches my soul... through this song thanks... May the Lord Bless you and all the liseners

  • Where in the bible do I find that I have to take my sins to the river?

  • It is metaphor of repentance, being cleansed. In repentance we are washed from our sins. Read Psalm 51: 2, 7. The river symbolizes water. Jesus is the living water.

  • Being cleansed by the living water; Jesus metaphorically speaking along with "He leads me beside still waters."

  • the waters that are being spoke of are the entermal waters of Life that flow withing. They are cleansing waters that come when one turns over their burdens to Christ. (John 4:14 NIV)

  • Nice video, and the way you put it together.

  • We all one day be joined together AT THE RIVER Praise the lord!

  • brians a really nice guy i actually knew him in person because i went to his church about a year ago when i was living with my fiance. but we broke up so i had to move. i miss brian though he was super cool and the church only sang his songs, nobody elses. so if you ever get the chance to meet him ull never forget his kind gentle spirit :)

  • I totally agree with you. He's so humble and like you said, you never forget his gentle spirit...he and Philip Janz, along with Steve Mitchinson have sort of become friends to me over the last few months...I have a really cool memory, that YouTube does not have room for me to write about...I would love to sing this song with Brian, but I don't see that happening anytime soon, if at all...I could go on, but I won't ramble...lol

  • I love this song. I recently got baptised in the lake while camping with my aunt and uncle. This song reminds me of getting baptised! God Bless!

  • Not to diminish what you said, but he also has an incredible voice, and this song proves that.

  • simpe lyrics, but really touching...May these words reach into all people's deepest hearts, we are ready to receive your forgiveness and blessings, Lord. Amen

  • Just love this song soooo much, we sing it in our church, and i,ve just bought a cd of Brians and it,s on it! AWESOME LOVE IT!

  • I really like this song. Its raw and honest

  • I love this song! What a great God we serve!

  • This is the best song ever. Brian keep singing for Jesus. One day when I was going through situation, and this song came up, and it really brought tears for me. Jesus is a wonderful Saviour, who redeemed me. I want to sing to Jesus when I see Him face to face.
