    Won't find a gospel singer more fearlessly honest or genuine in his witness. Rich Mullins portrays challenges we feel on the walk of faith, and his insight touches the heart with hope for the experience of grace. Thanks Jim McManus for sharing this.

      He was a true example of Christianity. He was what Jesus called people to be. His is the example I think of when I think of a man of God; more than any pastor, preacher, or priest. He practiced what he preached, and his message is far stronger for having done that.

      @@mommakimmins5554 absolutely 💯 true! The more I hear His speaking and songs, and learn of his vows of living like a "regular " person, and not like so many of the hypocritical, judgemental people of the plethora of churches I've attended throughout my lifetime. We need more people to live and love like Jesus!!👑✝️❤🌎☝💪🏾⚓🛡🗻🗡📖🙏🧎‍♀️🎵🙌🧂🕯🕊

    After five years of sobriety, I fell back into drinking for 7 months. I kept crying out to God during those very difficult months and this song was one that ministered to me on a deep level while working through it with the Lord. God finally answered and delivered me and came in as “ my Prince of Peace” like I’ve never experienced before. All praise and glory to my precious Savior - JESUS CHRIST! He never gave up on me even when I was so faithless. No matter what you are struggling with keep crying out to your Heavenly Father , He will come and set you free, I promise you!

    Almost 20 years ago my daddy who had a week or so to live listened to this song on a cassette I took with me to Colorado to play to him and tell him more about Jesus. He asked me over and over to play it again. Later found out he had my mom call the pastor back to pray with him. Has a new meaning today with all that's going on in this world. Thank you Rich for the gift of poetic words of transparency and faith. See you at the gates!❤

    I started listening to Rich the year I started following Christ which was the year he passed on. I can't explain how he affected the way I view the Lord in almost every way. I got the impression it was not by chance I discovered him that same year. Words can't express how thankful i am for his life, his lyrics and his raw reflection of struggling to follow Christ. I hope to one day give him the biggest hug and kiss on cheek and tell him Thank you for everything!

    The longer I'm in Christ, the more the things Rich said resonate with me. I didn't know how confused & broken am until one day I decided I don't have the right to hurt other people or make excuses defending the things I do to lessen my pain.
    Jesus said that if the light we think we have is really darkness, how deep that darkness is. Oh Lord, just how deep does this darkness go?

    Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
    When the mountains look so big
    And my faith just seems so small
    So hold me, Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
    You have been King of my glory
    Won't You be my Prince of Peace?
    And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
    It's so hard inside my soul
    I swear,there must be blisters on my heart
    So hold me, Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
    You have been King of my glory
    Won't You be my Prince of Peace?
    Surrender don't come natural to me
    I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
    Than take what You give that I need
    And I've beat my head against so many walls
    Now, I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees
    And the Salvation Army Band is playing this hymn
    And Your grace rings out so deep
    It makes my resistance seem so thin
    So, hold me, Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
    You have been King of my glory
    Won't You be my Prince of Peace?
    I'm singing, hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf
    You have been King of my glory
    Won't You be my Prince of Peace?
    You've been King of my glory
    Won't You be my Prince of Peace

    But to also hear Rich's intro + profound insight,
    what a blessing to all of us who right now (like me) be in turmoil, grief, hopelessness, pain, overwhelmed, panic-stricken etc.

    nothing is more important than loving God + accepting his love/comfort/forgiveness in return. WOW !

      It's so hot inside my soul
      I swear there must be blisters on my heart
      So hold me, Jesus,
      Cause I'm shaking like a leaf
      You have been King of my glory
      Won't You be my Prince of Peace
      Surrender don't come naturally to me
      I'd rather fight you for something
      I don't really want
      Than to take what you give that I need
      And I've beat my head against so many walls
      Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees
      And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
      And Your grace rings out so deep
      It makes my resistance seem so thin
      So hold me, Jesus,
      Cause I'm shaking like a leaf
      You have been King of my glory
      Won't You be my Prince of Peace
      You have been King of my glory
      Won't You be my Prince of Peace

    Rich Mullins and Keith Green two musical prophets, both gone too soon.

  • @Just-A-Cow-Named-Justin
    @Just-A-Cow-Named-Justin 6 месяцев назад

    “When it all came together is when we were in Amsterdam, and I just became really keenly and uncomfortably aware of how… you know you think you’re getting somewhere, you think you’re growing as a Christian, that kind of thing, and all a sudden you are in a situation where you go “I am just as susceptible as I was when I was 16, to a lot of things”?
    Sometimes we can be really hard on ourselves about that. Well, Beaker and I were talking in a train station about the whole thing - where we were and where we wanted to be. And we got into some actually pretty explicit detail about the nature of our temptations and of those struggles. And this guy leans over - and we’re in Germany, right, so we’re assuming no one's going to be interested enough in whatever we would have to say to actually bother to translate and listen. But this guy leans over, the only other guy in there, and says “Excuse me, but are you Rich Mullins?”
    So I had to think back over our conversation to see if I was or not. And decided that I must be. Whether or not I like who I am, that is who I am. And once again it’s back to the Ragamuffin thing: the realization that people are going to judge you. And there are I think actually people who look for excuses to condemn you, and look for excuses say bad things about you.
    But God doesn’t look for those kind of excuses.
    And I think the conclusion of the matter for me was that I think I would rather live on the verge of falling, and let my security be in the all-sufficiency, the grace of God, then live in some kind of pietistic illusion of moral excellence. Not that I don’t want to be morally excellent, but my faith isn’t in the idea that I’m more moral than anybody else, my faith is in the idea that God and his love are greater than whatever sins any of us commit."

    I have found that the hardest thing about sin is realizing how desperately you still want something you know full well is killing you & being forced into the corner of having to turn to a Father you were so angry with for absolutely no good reason that you were actually willing to hurt yourself to get away from admitting you needed him, only to find out he never was angry with you in the first place & is just thrilled that you finally came back to him.
    This has been my experience, anyhow.

    Thank you for adding this intro and video- it higher resolution is very helpful and the introduction is just achingly powerful. To confront ourselves in such a truthful way and to recognize God loves us just as much - no matter what- that's so ridiculously powerful LOVE. Confronted with myself I want to turn away from the mirror- and He reaches through and loves me and seeks to show me His way, a better way, a way that is a stranger to self-hatred and an embracer if Christ's image in me....

    This video and song helped to create a bridge between me and my faith, many times over through the years. Jesus has always been the quiet driving force in my life. Quiet in the sense of my actions without explanation rather than explanation without action. When I was hurting or without hope I would smile, never asking or seeking. I would give you my last dollar and tell you I had two more in my pocket. I was so alone, scared and hopeless but optimistic and held faith. I don't resort to music to compare or follow - but played this one million times, still do. This a prayer for me, I write my words and humbly give thanks for a simple but good place that I have been allowed to live. No hate or judgment as seems to be the "Christian" mantra today. GNGB

      Myself alsoTom, I'm being held hostage at our home 15077 Portage lake drive n.w in Bena.Minnesota about five miles west of there, he's a criminal, wants my money out of the banks. He is know as the World's biggest liar, on wanted list. He is related to Govenor Walz of Minnesota, and a very large criminal organization. We are surrounded by his family in my small neighborhood. Water to the south of us and highway 2 they have under surveillance. I am Sharon A. Chase, previously Sharon Ekstrand, LaRue, Porter date of birth 9-20-48. Watching this video, God told me to comment and someone would send help. Do not cal l authorities in Minnesota, part of that large criminal organization. All I have in the world are my 2 pups and one is sick as I send this, he's poisoning our water supply with more than needed salt. I am a child of God! Thanks for being here and thank God for Rich, he gives me hope. Blessings to you. Sharon A. CHASE 9-20-48 he does not want me to speak order able to identify him or people in his criminal family.
