Dying to meet you says it all! It’s what we’re all doing. Love the imagery of colors and things like the curtain between us, hiding Jesus ‘ face till after we meet him in death. Lately I’ve been thinking that Jesus wants us to live for him, not die for him. He’s already died for us. After hearing Blue… I see our lives and death have much to do with how we view heaven and Jesus promise. When we live in the way of God, we’ll be that much closer to Him after we die and feel like we belong together there.
This song hits home with me. When I was in a coma…I didn’t see light or anything, other than colors. I was just telling someone about it and you post it. Hit home. Thank you for such a beautiful song!
interesting I call em “God Winks” .. and the thing about colors is interesting.. even the earth is full of minerals in colors.. and from space living organisms in the ocean show up as sea of green..
I’ve been prayin about where I go from here on the podcast.. I should be covering where I’m at currently like I’ve always done.. but now it’s to those of us facing a setting sun
I went through a crippling painful time in the early 90’s & I wanted to die. I didn’t want to kill myself but I did want to die. This song was balm to my soul at that time. I still can’t wait to meet Him. The passing of the painful things… thank you Bryan.

Wow, hadn’t heard that B4! Love it. To me, you, your voice & songwriting is SO underrated. Not trying to stroke , you just speak in my heart. So many are missing out. Blessings

thanks for sayin KS.. we have no control over who here’s us but we can always do our best to present our convictions and confessions.. who knows… maybe after I’m dead.. people will notice LOL
I guess the older we get the more we think about it.That’s natural I think seeing that there is less time in front now than behind us can sharpen one’s focus at least I hope so . I remember this song but hadn’t heard it in some time.Reflecting on what you say in this song I had forgotten the nice imagedry the song wove throughout.The sense of anticipatory wonderment of what We believed coming true before our new unveiled eyes does leave us here with comforting hope I can say .
I remember the release of this whole album and like all your other recording projects have always been theme songs for every season of my life , favorite lyrics well expressed that you have written and articulated and explained when I couldn’t find the words to express but yet in your genius and heavenly way of putting this amazing music and words when I was speechless ! Thanks for the bday call voicemail you left me back in 2023 , I still play the message every Jan 22
Btw
On Easter my only oldest brother passed away on his 55 birthday
And “Dying to meet You “ had taken a whole new meaning and have been an anthem to his memory , being a PK as well
Thank you a million times for writing and releasing incredible music that has blessed many and have encouraged us through your lyrics to find the hope that is solely in Jesus !! As a huge fan , since I was 4 hearing you sing “ love you with my life “ sweet comfort band on a record changed my life completely as I started to sing special at church , and now as music director and evangelist I take to heart the gift you have been to us all ! Sorry but not sorry for this message to be so long , but as I close I’m gonna ask the B3 organist (which would also be me) to come and play emotionally
As I make a “come to Jesus “ moment for myself as I continue to listen to all your music , especially “Blue Skies “ as it rains outside at the moment but oh on the inside
“There’s nothing but blues skies now …..”
WOW cool to get insights from ya JR… sorry to hear about yer brother… its comin for all of us.. and separations from loved ones are ‘more briefer’ than we think. nice of you to refer to me as a ‘genius’I shall quote you to my wife later today! LOL words never heard before!
