  • This Salvation is gift is no joke. Those who are conscious enough to accept His gift are so blessed. Very soon when the tribulation has begun and the Saints have been raptured, SADLY, so many will regret having rejected Jesus our Christ. Lord, I thank you for my conscious mind to accept your gift and serve with a genuine and sincere heart. Have mercy on those, Dear Lord who do NOT know you. Open their hearts, minds, and eyes. Help the lost, Savior....

  • I swear this song does something to my, every since the passing of my grandmother on christmas and the passing of my grandfather years ago I've felt lost and empty and this song lets me know that no matter what I go through there is a GOD. Family and friends have left my side and I've wanted to give up on everything numerous of times, but my mother tells me god is not through with me. I need a breakthrough.

  • Fred Hammond seem to know what touches a person's heart, I think only because he himself feels the same thing. And is able to put it into a song. When he sings these songs. it's as though he has experienced them, an though he get his inspiration from his own experiences. He is quit a unique brother. ..................

  • One of my favorite songs. 

  • Is my desire!!! Thank you Lord!!!

  • This song takes you to a new dimension.

  • Yes Lord!

  • with the spirit of god we bring to life the glory and mercy of his everlasting grace that presides within each and everyone of us.to date, we must ask him for forgiveness and to keep us covered in his blood at all cost of sin.

  • I really feel this song....

  • Oh Praise God!!! We went to Fred Hammond's concert at Six Flags in Arlington, Texas on Saturday and there was a mighty move of God's Spirit in the ampitheatre! When they sang this song, I felt the love of God flooding me. I broke down in tears because of my desire to be close to God. I praise God for allowing our youth group to experience this event turned into a mighty worship service! We went wild in worship later on. But God was in the ampitheatre! Praise God! Praise God! Praise God!!!!!!!!!

  • @ApostoliholicAlex ... I was touched reading your blog here. I can discern that you really love, adore, admire and worship the Lord by your comments. I can FEEL your love of God here on earth, and I know if I can feel in your words, God feels it in your life of worship. May Peace, love, safety, truth and wisdom and prosperity abide with you always ...

  • @CSDCHI I appreciate it. God is indeed good all the time.

  • this song has always touched my heart since I was alittle girl not knowing where to turn.

  • Thankyou Jesus! HALILUYAH!

  • All my imperfections God I want to be in HIS presence.

  • I love this song. Its not even a song but i love it. It lets me know that when i act a fool GOD is still waiting for me with my common sense. PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful worship, thanx soo much for sharing ~ I will never forget the time this very track on his CD took us to another whole level of worship during our noon-day prayer session one day (as a matter of fact, twice) we wept and blessed the Lord during that 1 hour (lunch break) prayer session, while this same anointed song played over & over on repeat in our sound system! AWESOME!

  • When it gets down to it, there really is no other desire.....

  • @Mrs112007 Well said!

  • OOOH JUST TO KNOW HIM IS A HONOR FOR US! JUST FOR WHAT HE HAS ALREADY DONE. WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK BACK TOO FAR. IN SPITE OF HE IS FAITHFUL!!

  • Such simple words can make a grown man cry..... Just to be close to you is my desire...

  • I feel so far away from Him please saints pray for me dnt know how to ignite the fire in me again.

  • @Prosperity2win: it's like a journey - take it one step at a time and rely on the Holy Spirit. Remember we are in a war and so we have to fight the good fight of faith. I know what u are talking about because I am on the journey as well. The good thing is that you are not satisfied with where you are and you have the desire to serve Him. I believe God is please with that and as He promises "He who has begun a good work in you will perform it till the day of Jesus' coming...

  • @Prosperity2win HE never, ever left u...just reach out 2 HIM ~ and get lost in HIS Presence, besides Fred Hammond, I also strongly recommend CeCe Winans (The Throne Room) I promise u, with a broken spirit and a contrite heart --- it will be a wrap! God Bless u ~

  • Please pray for me.

  • @RMBTSC Please see above....it's already done ~

  • In your presence Lord is where I want to be...always!

Gird up your loins and go to work. The Harvest is great but the laborers are few. Lets be ready the Lord's coming is near than when iwe first began. Run the race to get the prize. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Dont be asleep at His return and do tell someone.

  • love this song!!

  • Yelling into the mountains about his love, indeed. God is more of a friend than anyone I have ever personally met before in my life. I have more faith in him than a being on earth. I am getting chills just thinking about his goodness. God is. Thats all I can say is just God IS. And always will be.

  • It is so amazing how God moves our hearts. Every day He shows me something new and amazing. My desire is to be close to God...and as a result everything else falls into place! Woo! I just feel like yelling to the mountains about God's love.

  • Okay I will do that, when I went to that church I felt so much love. I remember when the minister told me. This love that God gives to me is love that is not of the world but from him(God). And when he said that it touched my heart. I just wanna know how do I, how do I put it, let him take over my life? Christian people are different I am learning and I desparately wanna to be one also. I will give up anything, if you understad what I mean.
