  1. I love hearing the lyrics again. Listening to them over and over is a way to keep reminding us to take heart and know that God is right there to take us to the promised land as He promised. I love hearing how you came up with different songs and the inspiration behind them. I’ve written maybe five poems and would love to write more, but I haven’t taken the time just to sit and even write notes. Which I think I might start doing again. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

    1. Hi Robbin! I know you from x regularly .. I practice wording and saying on there all the time.. member the song’Little Bit At a Time?” .. started when I started #SpoketoGod

      1. So I just had to go listen to it and found a video of you and Phil Keaggy live. So good and so fun. Lot of positive comments including:
        “Love it when Brian belts it. Man his voice can pierce through anything.”

  2. Thanks for this song. It has helped me so much. I really really hold on to these words like a life saver. God bless you Brother!

  3. Bryan it’s so awesome the way you wrote such meaningful songs when you were so young! It’s amazing how at the age of 73, I can identify with the emotions they are about. This one in particular. I feel like God’s hands are leading and shelter me to higher ground. The song gives encouragement for redemption and rehab, that there’s a better place for us, and He’ll take us there. I feel peaceful with His mercy and love. Thank you for sharing and writing this song my special friend ❤️. It’s also nice to hear I’m never dismissed too!

  4. This song always made me think of Pilgrim’s Progress. Christian’s battles, fears, doubts and then crossing the river to the promised land.

  5. The lyrics to this song are lovely. The verse that states “all around you His angels wait”—that just made it for me—how comforting it is to know. Thanks for explaining the lyrics to this song.

    1. Hi PC.. great to hear.. I know it felt like a stretch .. “Cold Wave” “Great Wings” but it’s a way of looking at ‘gettin’ out of the boat,, which never gets easier

  6. We could take all the songs in your large catalog , and pick lines in each song starting from beginning and create a Book, or devotional book,
    “A Lyric Devotional” hahaha

    1. that would be a lot o work LOL .. I have to google almost every song to recall! they’re some nice lyrics tho.. glad I got to do this my whole life! .. thanks for helping me Ricky B!!!!

  7. Oh Wow B, this one right here gets in my Hall of Fame of B-dunc songs. I throughout the years have made recordings where I put my favorite songs of yours on a tape or CD. This song always made the cut after it came out. This is a special song to me because of its lyrics always painted a beautiful picture of the Lord helping us through whatever we’re going through and to trust Him, He won’t let us down. Powerfully soothing and uplifting in ways like your song “You don’t leave Me Lonely”. I would love to hear you sing those two songs in a concert one day it truly will do something good in the hearts to those who hear it. Now you done done it again I know you gonna play the song tomorrow but I got to go play it right now and Lord willing get to be blessed again to hear it tomorrow !

  8. Straight from the heart. Life experiences do provide the best sources for storytelling in song. I came out of listening to the lyrics that I am never alone no matter what. My Good Shepherd and I make a brilliant team together, in His own eyes. Taking comfort from that. Even at the water’s edge, His invitation comes, “Son, I’ve got this. Come, take My Hand. Let’s walk on this water to the other side. Together, we will get there”……..so you have encouraged very well here Mr D. Keep writing these little darts to each heart.

  9. Blue Skies is THE BEST-my favorite of ALL your recordings (and I have or HAVE had them all!)-ok maybe My Utmost For His Highest is a tie-hah

  10. Would love to hear the mp3 of “Take Heart” one of my favorites from that fantastic album. I have it on CD, but my car doesn’t have a cd player.

  11. I like RICKY B’s sentiment he may have something there! Maybe we could take all your songs B and make NUTSHELLIAN crossword puzzles out of the lyrics it would be a backrow alumni delight!
