I am crying. My husband is going right now under so much pain due to Crohn's and his surgery date was changed all of the sudden. He has been so desperate, he reached his breaking point. This song is so encouraging. Thank you.
Praying for you
Going to lift you both up in prayer🙏🙏🙏
I commit both of you in the hands of Lord Jesus Christ our healer
May God give u both peace. 🙏🏼💜
Praying for his quick recovery.
You all blessed the socks off of me.
Glory to God.
I find myself coming back to The River again and again.
The words, the melody, the signing, ... I get a lump in my throat as I sing harmony [well, try to :) ] with the choir.
Thank you for your divine inspiration. We are all parts of the miracle. Truth will win🌼🌺🌸
So beautifully sung, with heavenly harmony. You all brought tears to my eyes because of the truth insuch a touching message. But also how great to see that you had the love to sign and caption the video so the deaf and hard of hearing can have the opportunity to see the message we all hear. Our dear son Michael, died last year, aged 50 of a massive heart attack. He was profoundly deaf, a brilliant young man, top sportsman, loving father and a strong advocate for the deaf and people with disabilities. How he would have loved to have seen your video. Thank you all so much and God bless you all. Lyn and Narelle Lockrey, Australia.
Absolutely touching... After listening to it I'm left without words, just teary-eyed and with a smile, I want to go to that river...
We missed having you (and your country 🇺🇾)!
Hi! This is Jane. Thank you David for your work. The Lord is working through you in these times.
Grandpa❤ I'm izuto swu nine years old new subscribers Nagaland India🇮🇳 God bless you more🙏
Thank you, this may be just what I needed to hear tonight, for where I am spiritually, mentally and physically.
I was baptized in a little river, many years ago and this song brought me back to that moment, and my hope and faith strongly keeping me together through so much. That hope has faded, my belief is wavering. This song at least brought me back to that day, the very moment and how special and meaningful it was. I've been reminded.
The age range of the singers on this was so sweet to see!
David... I can't begin to imagine the time, effort and dedication it takes to pull something like this together. You are a beacon of light on the internet as you use your talents. I find these virtual choirs very inspiring in a deep way.
Thanks David, and everyone who contributed!
Really, really good, the harmonies are just perfect. David scores another winner.
We missed having you!
@@DavidWesley ok, wow, thank you 😁 August was nuts for me but hopefully there'll be #12 🤞
More basses!! Turn em up! It’s just lovely.
He’s a tenor, actually.
So blessed to be able to hear this.
Praise God that He gave us music!
Let us live to worship Him 💕
Thanks for having the ASL interpretation! That's a wonderful blessing for the Deaf.
Thank you David and Brian. This was wonderful to be a part of.
The singing is beautiful and anointing!!😢😢🙏🙏
Thanks so much for this 💜 each of you. Bless you all .
Beautiful! This participation was a great experience for me. The result turned out great! Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭May God bless all of you! 😊
The River!! Praise God, David for this rendition! So clear and pure voices! Amen! Susan Heller from Cape Cod,Ma!
God's guiding hand truly blessed this collaborative project. I love it! Beautifully done, David, Brian, and choir ✝️ such a rich message. He's calling and waiting and longing for us to surrender every sin and every care. That is so simple but we complicate it in our worldly ways. This arrangement is a reminder; it should not be complex: trust Jesus and follow Him. He chose us. And He is love. ❤ Precious Jesus, I am ready!!! ✝️🙏🕊
Wow, that's like how Precious Jesus Christ is!
Recognized both Brian’s name and his voice (I’m old!)! Thank you Brian and David for sharing this life journey with us, you’ve both made it a better and worshipful place to be!
I love the signers they add another dimension to worship
The gospel in clear , and uncluttered sound!! God bless !!
I received the most comments from my friends for this video! ... "Love it! Thanks" ... "Very nice, thanks" ... "BEAUTIFUL SONG, BEAUTIFULLY SUNG" ... "♥♥" ...
Hello, David. I had lots of fun singing this tune. My thanks to you and Brian.
My husband and I were so blessed listening to this song! Both of us are crying!
Thank you so much I loved it!
Simply amazing harmonies. Thanks for this awesome, very “calming” rendition of The River.
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been struggling so much with my anxiety and feeling undeserving of God’s love. I know He gives his love freely, and that Jesus gives His gift of salvation freely. And I know that no human is truly deserving of such beautiful gifts; In comparison to Jesus, who could possibly be worthy?
But I know it’s not entirely about that. It’s doing our best to truly walk in His footsteps, to walk with Him in our hearts. Along my walk of faith, getting to know God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, I’ve felt so much despair and yet more hope than I’ve ever felt before.
This video brought me to tears. I despise crying so much, but I’m okay with this. It touched me.
Thank you so, so much for this video. It’s something I desperately need to be reminded of constantly, that He loves us very dearly and only wants us to come to Him and accept His gifts.
Thank you.
Beautifully said.
No matter how many times I come back to this, I feel a bit of warmth within my heart.
Amazing! One of the best!
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Filled my heart and soul with JOY!! Thank you David Wesley and The Virtual Choir...
It was great! I am happy to see how it turned out and glad to have taken part in this! I especially liked the neat transition with Brian in his home to the black background. Wonderfully put together musically and visually!
Yap
Another excellent video. I’m always amazed and in awe of them. I wish I could sing. May God bless you!
I hope I can be part of the next choir. Well done and God bless.
Lovely! Thank you, David, and all the singers and ASL signers! Great job, everybody! Loved seeing so many different countries represented here in this virtual choir. And of course the sign language helps so many see the message they can't hear. Hey, and I see Michael and Caleb Lining singing too! To GOD be the glory!
Wonderful! Praise God! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful gift with us. God is gracious. This is really a blessing for weary hearts. God Bless you. ✝️🙏💜🕊
At the river the Jordan River our heavenly father said this is my son in whom I'm well pleased. Thank you David for bringing us all together with praise and worship to our God
Wow! Your post was the means of an aha moment for me, as God connected some dots for me in a huge way. The crossing of the Jordan into the Promised Land has come to mean a great deal to me as a type for the victorious Christian life, but somehow I had never connected that with the significance of Jesus being baptized in the Jordan River! Duh! That’s probably one reason John was baptizing there-not just because “there was much water there.” And then to connect Jesus’ baptism to our baptism being a sign of Surrender to Him by identifying with Him in His death by crucifixion, burial, and being raised with Him to walk in newness of life, makes “the river” very meaningful indeed. And to think that by the Spirit a river of the water of life flows out from our innermost being, just like the it flows from the throne of God in Heaven, well-it almost takes one’s breath away.
It makes me wonder if the place where John was baptizing was the very place where Israel passed over into the Promised Land? Wouldn’t that almost too amazing! But wouldn’t that be just like God!
It’s interesting, too, that Israel crossed over/through two rivers: the Red Sea in leaving the bondage of Egypt (new birth) and then the Jordan River (crucifixion of the flesh; living the victorious Christian life) as a deeper Surrender. The children of Israel could have gone over to the Promised Land eleven days rather than 40 years later if they had had the faith to trust God and not listened to the nay-sayers who were afraid of the giants in the land. So many lessons to learn from God’s Word!
@@VickyRBenson The song is probably referring to the river of life that flows from the throne of God in the new heaven/new earth! Revelation 22.
@@LillybethMakeup I was thinking of it, too, and also there was a river flowing from the millennial throne in Ezekiel 47 which brought life wherever it flowed. Also Psalm 46 says, “There is a river..” and Greater Vision sings it. I heard them sing it once and it became very meaningful to me and filled me with joy one dark night, as I was going in to the hospital to visit my husband who was in a coma. It had been raining, and now the road into the parking lot was a rushing river. For some reason God was so powerfully close that I just started singing it, as much as I knew, and it was exhilarating. I was walking with God as a comforting Friend and that River was special. I knew Jay would be going home, but I knew my awesome God was with me in a mighty way and would be with me all the way. There is still a joy of tears to remember that special time and realize that no matter what, we have a constant, faithful Friend in Jesus. ❤️😊🙏🎶
Beautiful. Thank you. To God be the Glory! 🙌🏾
Heaven sent, beautiful and uplifting! Thank you, David, and all who contributed to this lovely invitation to spend more time in the presence of Jesus.
Mellow and vibrant all at once. Thank you Brian, David, and choir!
Beautiful!
What a harmony.Glorious glorious foretaste of heaven 👏🏽💪🏾🔥🔥🎼🎶🎵
I have no words, except that it touched me deeply in the season in my life where I am now. Thank you seems inadequate, but it’s all I have to offer.
Great job everyone! What a beautiful song and message!
I'm always blown away with these beautiful pieces! You're truly blessed with this skill and you do this on top of being a full time dad and nurse. You're such a blessing.
Thankfully I don’t have to be a full-time nurse! The support I receive on Patreon allows me to work only part-time at the hospital.
Wow! How beautiful and beautiful is the praise! Thank you so much David! Congratulations to everyone who paeticipated in the choir!❤❤👏👏
Well done David! So cool you got Brian Doerksen to join you this time, he's a pioneer for contemporary worship music. And well done to all the singers. Keep up the great work David.
This was gorgeous! I'd love to see more collaborations with Brian Doerksen or even an interview or some tutorials from him or something.
I did a livestream interview with him at the end of August.
Thanks for bringing forth the final generation of music before Christ's return! This will surely be looked at as the begining of the final iteration of worship before our Creator returns to bring His people home.
Ah, but no one knows the hour!
@@DavidWesley that's right. But brining Christians from across the world to worship together is the final form of music that I can imagine this side of heaven. :)
Beautiful. Just what we need more of.
Great job absolutely beautiful
So beautiful. I wish l had the braveness to sing in a choral like this. Such a blessing. Thank you for sharing 💜
This was so beautiful ❤️ Thank you for putting this together and thank you to all the wonderful singers and signers for sharing their gifts so we can all praise God together.
This was just beautiful! Glad to see the Trini flag. Hoping there will be more voices from Trinidad in VC#12.
Thanks, cuz!
This is a beautiful song and a fantastic rendition of it! I honestly don't remember hearing this song for sure at any point in the past, so this was a really good way to start! Thanks, and I can't wait for your future work on here!
So blessed... A very apt reminder and encouragement for the present times... May God bless you abundantly for all your efforts...
Beautiful as usual. The message is indeed a true blessing and encouragement. Great job all involved. ❤❤
What a great message !! Harmonies are surreal, sounds like a heavenly choir 🎵🎵🎵
Love it ❤️ Love it 🙏 Love it ❤️ Father God is smiling upon each one of you. Thank you for bringing together the body of Christ in praising our King! Many blessings to you David ❣️
What a blessing, just beautiful!
Thank you David and all contributors of the choir! 🙏🙏🙏
Extremely hard to edit the audio as neat as this one. Good job! Praise the Lord!
All Glory to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
Yes...we do need to meet God. God is behind everyone, it's our choice to turn your back and walk away. Praise be to the ones who are summoned by our Lord and the ones who will live in eternity with the Christ and His Father. But woe to those who do not belive in the light.
Beautiful! Love the approach, these really got up in quality and production! God willing I'll be able to catch no12 in time and add Croatia to the list! 😊
Oh, and David - your songs and interpretations were such a blessing on my path to the Lord and now walk with him 🙏
"He is calling, He is waiting"
I love the Lord my God❤
So honestly sung. Beautiful message. Thank you!
Awww I have goosebumps. The harmony is killer. Awesome song🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
