This song saved my life. My brother, the person I was most close to, took his life in September of 2014. Everything was falling apart. I lost my home and was about to lose my job. Everything I cared about was temporary and I didn't want to lose anymore. I was broken. I didn't believe in Jesus, but few folks in the mental hospital I'd visited told me if I was ever at the end, just reach out and he would find me. I was there. I was going to take my life. I was experiencing what I thought was my final sunset, and I was playing with the radio and this song came on. In that moment, I felt that everything I knew about life was wrong, but through Christ, I could find something to stand on. God is so good. Thank you Francesca for such a beautiful song.
He saved you. It is an every day thing for the Lord but for us it is the greatest thing to ever happen to us. The Lord is glorified through compassion and mercy as well as holiness and creative powers.
Liz, you definitely are not gone for a reason. I cry for everything you have went thru. I ve lost too, and been broken to that point as well, but you my friend have a purpose. God is going to do something mighty thru you. You are going to reach multitudes of lost people, and bring them to Christ. I don't even think what I'm saying is my words, I think they are Christ, speaking thru me. God has never failed me. and he won't you either. Always trust in Him, and remember, no weapon formed against you will prosper.
God bless you I felt the same way different story.I had my doubts about God till not so long ago, I am a believer now and day by day it gets better with him.
Just heard this for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Grown man sobbing like a baby. Awesome. Moving. Inspirational. Humbling. This one's a keeper. ✝️
He gave us air, lungs so we can praise him, I am a Army, Marine veteran and this gets me every time, I find god and lost him, I want to find him again, pray for me
I'm praying for youi pray that the lord finds you where you are and brings you in and carries you to where he wants you to be where he has called you to be its in Jesus name i pray this AMEN! thank you for your service sir!
You haven't lost God. He is with you like the Father was out with the prodigal son. God is just waiting for you to turn around and see Him again. He never left you. Just pray for Him to let you experience Him again. Turn to Him right now and cry out to Him. He is right there with you. Your comment on here says He has been wooing you for some time to come back. Praying for you brother.
Please pray for my husband and family . Married 40 years , happily, my husband became an alcoholic , suicidal , chain smoker , has eating disorder , after he met a young girlfriend 3.5 years ago . He left God and really his heart left our family and our adult children and grand twins . Please pray God leads him to repentance soon and for me and my children’s peace while suffering . I know bad things happen because of the enemy of our soul, that God is with us during the hardest time of our lives. Love this song ❤
Sending potent, powerful prayers of all family members knowing divine order now; that all lives are resurrected instantly. It is done it is done, it is done! And so it IS. Amen. 🙏
There are few so-called-Christian artists who sings directly to God and draw people to God's presence. Too many of them draw people to their own music instead of to God. Kudos to Francesca Battistelli for ushering His people to His sweet Presence!
This is my favorite arrangement of this worship song. It doesn't drag behind. It doesn't linger. It picks up when it should. But more importantly, the lyrics exemplify truth, honesty and a desire for God's righteous love.
Feeling the Lord's presence is truly a wonderful and unique experience, which nothing else on this world can offer. So grateful. Lord Jesus, fill all our hearts with your hope and our lives with your presence. Amen!
Absolutely wonderfully amazing worship song, welcomes His Holy Presence right into ur house n chaotic life when ur emotions may b in turmoil, such a sensation n feeling of pure serenity n pease, that surpasseth ALL understanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😇
Being a child of God is AMAZING feeling knowing the Lord will always be there for all his children. no matter what they did in there lives. Love you lord our God.
Hi. 😊 I played your song. This one in a mental ward while I was charging and it was effective, sure enough, after that battle, came another one. 🔥I got to see a man serenade me with a guitar that was admitted for an unmentionable 🤍 and others that could not make sense; make total sense. Praise God!!! 🎼 I so loved it. I prayed, you sang. I watched him leave differently and many more. Perfect peace at that moment. Thanks for the help. 🌈
Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour your light into my heart, my soul and my mind. Assist me to live a holy life and to grow in goodness and grace.
First Praise and Worship song I really connected to. I remember listening to it in the car with my dad. I must have been 8 years old. I had the song stuck in my head the rest of the day. Still stuck in my head today. ❤🙏✝
His presence is strong within your song, and it's that strength that we all need to cling on to in order to form as strong a bond as we can with our GOD. His love is right there, right in front of us, and all we have to do is reach out and grab it. GOD has nothing but love for all of us and all He asks in return is to return that love. GOD bless you all and a big loud shout out to my main man our Lord and Saviour the one and only Christ, Jesus.
Incredible song. Heard it live at my church this Sunday for the first time and I don't think I've cried with that much joy or felt His presence that strongly... it was like a big bear hug.
This happened to me back in August. I'd like to think that I'm active in my church, but I hadn't heard worship songs in years (aside from regular mass songs) that this broke me down when I first heard it.
We sang this beautiful song in church today. The Holy Spirit went through me and I cried so hard. I’ve gotten confirmation today from my Father, God needs me to do away some people in my life. God bless you all✝️❤️🙏🏻 God is so good, he is always there with you✝️ he’s already at the finish line waiting for you to come to Him🙌🏻✝️
Thank you Jesus...Right now in this moment we have His Presence...Exodus 33:14....My Presence Will Go With You & I Will Give You Rest....covid or no covid...He lives in us.
To Liz Sprague: I hope you have grown even closer to our beautiful Jesus. I was watching two women in the UFC and one of them came out with this song in the background. I recognized this song as it is one of my favorites. Needless to say, she won the match. Praise God for His presence and comfort to us. I too have had several losses; starting with my mother at age 5, then, two boyfriends, two husbands, both foster parents, several lay offs. But, God is there through it all. Praise Him!!
Surely no one is putting a thumbs down to the Holy Spirit !!! This song is compelling for every Spirit led Christian. It's the song for 2020 ! It's our battle cry ! Sow in tears. Reap what you sow.
This is my all time favorite Christian song ever since I heard it when I was was about six years old it’s held a special place in my heart whenever i hear it it brings me into this beautiful state of eternal worship and peace thank you Francesca for this beautiful song
My granddaughter loves this song and she's a big fan of you. Her nanny bought her a album of you and she listen"s to it a lot she loves your singing.❤️
Your Glory is what our hearts long for Holy Spirit filling the place of worshipping faithful believers.. I miss this situation much, plz pray for my ability to return to church and gathering where God is poring out his Holy Spirit again. Teresa
I seriously listen to this song at least once a day. I'm getting ready to play it at my own church and lead it. Looooove this song. Loooooove you Francesca!
***** JESUS JESUS JESUS .....Let Jesus be glorified by our every breath. May we recognize a great GOD not a great voice. Great voices are a dime a dozen...GOD defines greatness. GOD seeks the broken, the humble and those who surrender to His authority. Thank you LORD for giving all to save a few.
Congratulations on your song, Francesca Battistelli! What a difference it makes when we invite the Holy Spirit into our day, our families, our homes, our communities, etc. Good Morning Holy Spirit! You are welcome here!
I know that I'm hearing this song almost two years after it was published but everything in our lives has a timing and that includes listening to your favorite singers sing praise to the Almighty God
Your voice ALWAYS has comforted me. Because I live in the deep south, and, every time it rains, I used to get EXTREMELY nervous that we were about to get flooded but, I began singing your songs...and guess what? We DIDN'T get flooded!!! Thank you Francesca!!!💓💕💖
Im so happy watching those people whose heart is strongly godly though our generation today is evil..to God be the glory for He still stir people's hearts to come to Him.
My 3 granddaughters sang this song in church last Sunday. Church is trying to b to bring in a little more contemporary style of songs. They hit on this one, the harmonies were spot on. Loud when it was needed, soft when not. Great job girls. Need to do this more often. Love you.
I love you so much Holy Spirit. You are worth more than anything. Please fill everyone in these comments. I sin time and time again and you are always merciful to me. I love You SO MUCH. Praise be to God!
You must have a spirit-filled mind to write these kind of lyrics. We just put pen to paper.! Thank you Holy Spirit for filling Francesca and her band with your spirit.
I LOVE THIS SONG. IT WAS OUR WEDDING SONG LAST YEAR..(08~22~15) We have been through a lot of Trials and Tribulations since then.. We just play this song and it's like things start getting better
I remember when I was in my youth group band as the drummer and we played this song many times on Wednesday nights it was my favorite to play ☺ I absolutely feel the presence of God every time I hear it 💕
Every time I hear this song, I tear up and get chills. The Holy Spirit is certainly working in me. I thank God for giving us Francesca Battistelli and her amazing gift of songwriting and her voice to sing to us.
This song means a lot to me! Around the time of my conversion, it was quite popular on the radio. Listening to this truly impacted my urgency for water Baptism in 2015💙 not only that, it helped me draw closer to the Holy Spirit and for that, I'm grateful! My church band still sings this from time to time! Shalom from USA
Dear people of youtube, will you please keep me in your prayers forever? I'm going through a lot of hurt and sadness more than you know. please pray strongly for me. Ask Jesus to change my family and my life. I pray someone out there will understand me on a spiritual level.
Lifting you and your family in prayer right now.... that God will intercede inio your lives changing the circumstances and providing a hedge of protection surrounding you. In the precious Name of Jesus.... Amen!
Saying a prayer for you........He understands and loves you.....bask in His love.....park it there! Let God minister to you however He wants to. Praying for you, brother.
There's no storm that God won't carry you through. No bridge that God won't help you cross. No battle that God won't help you win. No heartache that God won't help you to let go of. He is SO much bigger than anything you will face today. Leave everything in His hands and embrace this day confidently knowing that He WILL take care of you!!
It's nearly 3 a.m. on Sunday the first week of January 2023. My body was tired but my mind wouldn't quiet down enough to allow me to sleep. Also I'm prone to nightmares due to past traumas. As a result I put on Pandora Music and fell asleep listening to "Oceans". But the thing is I was somewhere between being asleep and being awake! I was dreaming and interacting with People in my dreams. Yet this song was so powerful it awakened me in more ways than one! I think I've gone through my life like that at times.. somewhere between being awake and asleep. Yet in this moment there is no part of Me that is asleep! "Holy Spirit you are welcome here...". The lightbulb moment for me is after years upon years of questioning my faith this song made me realize that GOD wasn't going to Force me to let him in and my lack of physical attendance at a Church and the guilt and shame over that didn't help. What did help is the understanding now at 3:10 a..m. when all is quiet besides my own heartbeat and my Husbands gentle snoring is this... All I had to do was declare, "HOLY SPIRIT YOU ARE WELCOME HERE" And with that it is finished. I can let go and stop judging myself based on standards I accepted from People vs understanding that this is between Me and the Spirit of GOD and what My deceased Mother or Society thinks of Me has nothing to do with Me and is none of my business. Thank You for this incredible gift in the Form of a song. I've never commented on You Tube about a song. I'm either sleep commenting or this is the only time in my day that there was enough quiet for me to HEAR, LISTEN, RECEIVE AND ACCEPT the message in this song that is so much greater than Me. My comment may help someone else. I just had a flashback from a one of my one of my dreams tonight! I kept running towards something! I came upon locked gates and was required to take various paths along the way. I ran past Strangers and left them bewildered. I was trying to get home, like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, but the journey never came to an end. I just kept running until the words of this song opened my eyes, physically, emotionally and spiritually 🙏🏽❤️.
Ahh, dear sister in Christ . . this is EXACTLY what I needed to read today. I rarely read comments on RU-vid; this is what I call divine intervention. I admire your heart and boldness. Hugs from Salt Lake City, Utah 🌹
Rebecca, I pray in Jesus Holy Name that He brings you peace, salvation, & grace. I pray to our Heavenly Creator, that He brings you comfort, and that you are free fear and anguish. I pray this his Jesus Holy Name. Amen. Amen. Amen.
