This makes me tear up often. I'm not even Orthodox nor even really Christian but considering converting. It just seems so hard to let everything go but I can feel Jesus pulling me. Sometimes I feel like I can take the step, others I feel like I'm crazy. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
This song makes me both sad and happy at the same time. It relives the emotional burdens of my life and reminds me that there is something greater to all of this.
I am Syriac Orthodox This song is holy I don’t understand a word, But I understand this song give glory to the Risen King The True King of Kings My Lord and My God JESUS CHRIST OF NASARETH HALLELUJAH ☦️☦️☦️
