Leave it to John Denver to share something so Christian in a manner that relates to other cultures thereby opening our hearts to other cultures....and bringing us together....Peace, John....
Remember how I cried the day he died? John flying in the wind, to meet his maker catching him up, in the arms of the Creator who made the Heavens and Earth John Love so much.
I was at blossom in Ohio and saw John do the lords prayer, so moving with instruments behind the sign language. So glad I can relive it now. Wow!!!!! Was so moving in person....
I saw JD perform this beautiful sign language rendition of The Lords Prayer at manchester s Apollo. Amazed,surprised and became a better person for it! The Bells of Rhymney was the other surprise of the night. What a priviledge it was to sit on the front row.
This made me miss him more I think. That he could embrace such grace from other walks of life to his own unique way, and still be so attuned to nature without the cynical attitude that often develops.... well if I should be like him I would be pleased.
I too cried the day he died. I'm right there with you. And this prayer is so powerful. I'd never seen that. I love the sign language. So beautiful. I'm deeply moved. Peace.
Yes, he was very special in his caring heart for the earth and in his music which expressed that love so well. I remember the day he died, I cried a lot that day, it was a sad day having to say goodbye to a dear friend whom I'd never even met!
He didn't forget the Lord's prayer... he was simply telling us in sign language and had to switch some words to compensate the lack of words they didn't have signs for. John was a great man and spirit and lives on still through his music and lyrics. RIP John. God Bless.
While the modern musicians are making songless rap, taking drugs, depressed, being weirdos, and not a clue about life...We can really miss John Denver, as a singer, and a great man who indeed was an inspiration for generations to come. There must be a providential reason he was chosen to act in Oh God, someone God think as a very good man...RIP John
very spiritual...finding this is too awesome! The anniversary of his death is soon (Oct. 12,1997) it reaffirms my belief in God. I will teach this to others. What a great story teller he was and a wonderful songwriter and musician!
Amazing, if you can pray like that, and for so many people! Thank you, John, for that prayer and the songs you have left us.. I still miss you... Till we meet in heaven..
How dare you judge John Denver as if you are "God" himself. I do not believe the "Jehovah Witness" thoughts of "awaiting the day of resurrection". That's all I have to say. Thank you!
Kathleen... the Bible tells us (GOD's children who does HIS Commandments) - to judge the righteous judgement. We line up a person's life with Scriptures. John Denver worshiped Hare Krishna... NOT GOD of Abraham. There is our answer dear. You tell us "not to judge" and yet, you're judging John Denver appropriate enough for Heaven? You're acting like GOD?
Allways the teacher.,,,This was so beautiful it made me cry, I guess I miss him so much and all the wonders of living and being alive he taught me....RIP John....forever fan
As a fan, I was always watching/searching for another picture, a new song, a news artical, a television show, anything, not to miss a single beat of his career. NOW. Now these clips come after he is gone. I just wished we could've had more time with him.
I haven't seen anybody mention this but, when John signs the line "deliver us from evil" he mentions that evil is to be forcefully thrown away, but never behind you. He says he doen't know why, I do. You don't ever wnat to turn your back on evil, so you push it away but to where you kan keep an eye on it.
That was very powerful. We miss you John. Thank you for such a great legacy in word and song. Your spirit soars among the majestic Rockys with the Eagle and Hawk.
Aloha John Denver !!!! Thank you for singing "The Lord's Prayer"~~~a prayer for all of us !!!! It was such a blessing for me to see it in Indian sign language !!! Gratefully, Robert S.J. Hu Sept. 5, 2020.
Don't despair, D.A.G! John blessed us all with his gift that was from God. I don't really feel that the prayer has been changed, just adapted to the limitations of a different 'language' where certain ideas are not represented. And remember, God also created humor and loves it when we laugh. We need to hold onto and hope for the positive. Who knows, maybe when we meet the Lord there is a final moment of truth and understanding which allows those who haven't, to make the right choice! : )
I so love John Denver! My very first concert was one of his. way back in 74 sigh. This is so moving. It looks like that trip really meant a lot to him.
Thank you SeasonsFaire! Let's get those logs out of our own eyes and let the Good Lord take care of the rest! He does, after all,hold all of the answers of the universe. I think we can trust Him. I think John did too. Even if he didn't express it quite that way, he expressed it beatifully.
*05/28/2020* Amazing. Thank You Father for allowing John to be a part of our world & for the beauty of his heart, his wonderful voice & music. Hopefully he repented of his sins & choose a life to follow You, in the month before he died. May he be in Heaven with You. 👑Jesus is King 👑 Philippians 2:9-11
@KristinDH I sometimes listen just to go back there, when I'm in that frame of mind, longing for better days which are only getting worse in this life,well, apart from Christ and his wonderful government. JD will awaken to better days ahead for everyone and for planet earth and on beyond! May God bless...
John Denver was such a great entertainer, singer, and man....conservationist, environmentalist, pacificist, and more. His songs had depth, emotion, insight....things you just don't see in music today. I think his "I want to live" version is one of his best. Where have good men, good "country boys" like John Denver with conscience and integrity gone? They certainly can't be found in government and among CEO's of banks and such! God Bless John Denver....you left us much too soon....
God blessed us with your presence John ... and now he's blesssing you with his...You were called home again and our love and our gratitude for all the beauty you've shared with us during your stay, follows you.
OMG, I 've always Loved John Denver now, that love for him has escalated to Honor after listening to him whom I miss so very much. I know he is with God totally. He was a good man
Yes for years I have liked him and actually gone to Jasper Alberta to find out more. Years later I moved from California to Oklahoma and only then did I put together meaning of his Song Feather Bed... He lived in Oklahoma also! Wow! 👀
Your belief makes it so for you. What you are thinking now just might be what you are thinking after death. Hell is a personal thought made zone. Control emotions or have your emotions out of control. I like John Denver music in it you hear that hell and heaven was something man made on earth.
You don't know that. He may have received Jesus as His Lord and Savior before he died. You don't know what was in his heart. I like thinking rather that he is in Heaven singing and playing guitar with Glen Campbell.
What a showman. This bit he did with the Lord's Prayer has always amazed me. You could hear a pin drop in the audience... they were spell-bound. How do you get that kind of reaction reciting the Lord's Prayer? I saw him at the Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Auditorium in Kansas City, Kansas in 1973? He said he was not too excited to be playing that location, as it probably held less than a thousand. I couldn't believe he could get that much sound all by himself.
Oh thank-you for sharing this wonderful video. I loved listening to John Denver tell the Lord's Prayer. He had a sweet way of expressing himself. So sweetly done. God bless his soul & music always.
The most beautiful & powerful prayer ever uttered. ... John does a fine job (in front of a very secular crowd) of conveying some sense of reverence in the sign-language of THE LORD'S Prayer. ... a great artist. missed much.
Beautiful signs language I have learned it ....so beautiful. but I miss John Denver so much ..especially I love his Annie song.. YOU FILL UP MY SENSES makes me in tears.
o my dearest Lord Jesus; I have NEVER seen this before; tho I saw him before 1982 in Portland, OR, and I saw him once again, after 1982, in Spokane, WA; and that 2nd time, just him and his guitar; no band at all. What a wonderful blessing this has been to me tonight; the night b/4 Palm Sunday.
@HaileynGramma Very well put in deed HnG. That is truly how John made us feel. I felt like he was a close friend of mine who believed in the things I believed in and loved this earth and all it's beauty and he gave thanks through his music and tried to teach us all some important lessons. He was not perfect, but he had a beautiful soul. My youngest son died 2 years ago and he gets to sit with John and listen to him sing beautiful songs whenever he wants. Rest in Peace Roddie and John~
Aloha John Denver and KristinDH !!! Thanks for posting "The Lord's Prayer." I love this blessed hymn !!!! A grateful fan, Robert S.J. Hu August 17, 2020.
I very often think about John, and all he has taught me in music and thought. This is just another wonderful reminder of his "beauty". God Bless John! Thank you for this wonderful video. ~George~
Thank you so much. Just seeing this for first time this Father's Day Sunday, June 16, 2024. How wonderful that we have these amazing gifts shared with us still today. I share a Synday s8ng each week with my kids, the eldest for their UMC Praise Band in S. Texas. Please pray for our beloved little church & our united church we love. You may know that holding onto our belief in being inclusive is a struggle these days. We mourn those who have left us & rejoice in all who are staying and new friends discovering us. Thanks again...this is simply perfect. ♡♡♡
I like to say to people this: There are many truths, and they all point to one source - The Universe, God, Spirit, Truth...whatever word you like - Do not spend energy arguing whose truth is righter, just like all life springs forth from one source, so are all truths but a reflection of God, Spirit,etc. Accept another truth as another way of loving God, The Universe, Spirit,etc. And by the way, many of my Christian friends do not agree with me...seem to think I am too liberal in my ways.
Wrong! Explained here: www.gotquestions.org/correct-religion.html Also, the universe is not God. That's Pantheism. The universe was CREATED by God and is material, God is spirit. carm.org/about-god/can-god-and-the-universe-be-the-same-thing/
Played his music at my wedding, he played his way into my soul many years ago, I WILL learn this amazing way to say the Lord's Prayer and hope to carry it on through all my life. It is amazing how many lives he has affected through his music. During a trip to China in 09 I was just taken aback by how many people listen to and know his music. Even there they love him still. You are timeless John, I hope to see you again one day. :'(( No it is better if we smile. He would want that. :>)))))
How wonderful to see this again! My mum was a huge fan off John and she took me to see this show when he came to Holland. We even met him in person! (and he was really nice)
I remember this concert tour, it was 1984 - "The Man And His Music", only time that that I has seen him solo for a concert...and I still have the ticket stub dated July 8, 1984. It was a Sunday evening 7pm show here in Buffalo, NY. I had recently graduated from college in May '84, my older sister and her husband took me to this concert_my second of five total. Pete wasn't thrilled about going & afterwards said it was the BEST concert he had ever attended. How I still love that man and his music
I'm from an entirely different generation but I grew up listening to John Denver.He put his soul and love for the music he created in every song he wrote and performed.The younger generations who have never heard him do not know what they are being deprived of.I'm glad my parents raised me with the music they did.I have an appreciation for all genres but i mainly love the music from the 70's and earlier.The songs had meaning and were meant to share it they're not just to make profit like today.
Where there is faith there is love. Where there is love there is peace. Peace that is a blessing. Where there is a blessing there is God. With God there is no need.
