In 2001, I left my home in Southern TN and went to southeastern NC to help take of my mother who was dying of cancer. Thankfully, I was able to stay the 4 months before her passing while my siblings took turns coming to assist. My sister who is 10 years younger than I would drive up from south Florida as often as she could. This song made me cry for I could imagine her asking God to let her hold our mother one more time. Mama left us to go and sing with the angels on August 6th 2001. My husband and I brought my dad to our home in TN and I took care of him until he died in 2007- aged 94. Now, I am 83- older than Mama was when she died. I find myself wanting to talk to my mama about health issues and other problems- seems we gals never outgrow a need to talk with our mama. This song makes me cry but I love it!
His songs go straight to the center of my soul - his music uncomplicated but brilliant - and utterly perfect with his gentle lyrics and soft, reverent performances. He is truly a rare gem.
I too wish to be Fernando’s neighbour in heaven.His music is so beautiful and annointed. He truly is a gift. I love you Fernando Ortega and I thank God for you. Blessings.
His is a gift period....Even to the Soul and Ears of this Heathen...On The Eve of Israel Threatening to Nuke Damascus..Ughhh....Nuke?!! Nukes!!! Shame on Israel...Shame on Bashir Assad..Shame Upon Shame Upon Shame on All of Humanity For All of Her Inhumanities purputrated upon eacother and Every Creature of Earth since time Immortal. Without Compassion for Eacother and All Gods Creatures we (Humanity)will not survive nor will we deserve to...
I heard "Children of the Living God" the other day and like it so much I looked it up and found Fernando Ortega's video and they are all just wonderful. They give me pause to think about God. Fenando's lyrics lead me closer to Him and they also give me peace. I don't understand why there aren't millions of views on these wonderful videos. I hope he is still making music and praising God.
Now that my parents and sister are gone, this song makes this life a little more empty. I have the Lord, His promises and as I get older I yearn for "home". My real home, back with God, His spirit and our magnificent savior. You are never alone people. He is with you even though you cannot see Him. Be strong, be courageous men and ladies, your Christian husbands and brothers will be there for you. Keep the faith, I believe we are getting closer to that glorious day when the trumpet sounds, the angel shouts and He appears on the clouds to take us to our source and our Creator the Great and Almighty God.
No other artist's music touches my soul like Fernando's. His music is annointed in a special way that is different than most music I have ever experienced. I hope his house is on the same street as mine in heaven.
I feel the exact same way. I guess we'll be neighbors :) I was at a church concert of Fernando's and he was standing next to me singing during the congregational part. It was so funny to think that I thought I would have to wait until heaven for that to happen and it was happening right then. Still looking forward to heaven too.. :)
So beautiful - peaceful, calm and lovely. Jesus is like this. He gives us this. Since He first came into my life 28 years ago, He has helped me through many, many times. He has never left me. He is faithful.
You are the best musician I've ever seen and heard Mr Ortega..thank you for sharing your blessings with me. I cry and my heart aches so much with the love of Messiah because of your voice
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed, We shall meet at last.
Thank God for Fernando Ortega's songs praising God. Makes me weep listening to hear his songs. I have been listening to his songs for the past ten years.
this song and the cd gave me comfort when i was in depression and in so much pain, i used to put the cd player at repeat all and sleep feeling God's hand carrying me, thank u so much for this music, may God bless u and bless us all
He also has a home edition concert you can check out too on youtube. Its pretty cool also. Just type Fernando Ortega home and scrool. You'll eventually get it
This song comforts me.It inspires and helps me believe there is truly a Way,Truth&Life in Jesus.Thank you, Fernando Ortega. Iwish you would sing in my church.God bless you.
Refreshing sound, incredibly great lyrics and a voice that has such great tone. The lap steel is perfect at the end. In this world of "me, me" songs it is a good thing to hear someone writing music like this.

There's a slow train Pulling through the desert The colored cars pass quietly from sight Between the highway and the long horizon Precious dreams wind away with the light. My brother's and my sisters' faces linger The hours of our childhood, grave and gold Driving through these solitary places Memories of their gentile kinship Touch my soul The hawk wheels away as we pass here The clouds billow up and fly on Down the road some hard turns Are going to shake us Ride with us Through the breaking of the dawn Worry for my loving mother The dimming years, The trials she has known Her heart so kind and so weary Keep her safe one more night 'til I get home How I long to be right there beside her And bring everything back to before We'll arrive with the first light of morning Keep her safe, let me hold her once more The sage and Joshua tree remind me Of the miles to go, The journey that we're on In the still, sweet air of the desert We will ride Through the breaking of the dawn

Hey, you shouldn't say that Stan...that person is most likely doing their own soul searching. At least they heard the song, which means that maybe God is already at work in his or her heart. Pray and condemn not ♥
listen you run these web sites dont taking it for Granted and stop misunderstaning things you dont know looking into peoples lives is not our busness but Gods who created us all and only he can read peoples hearts and minds yet if you read this God created you and I and even after we all sinned and fell short of Gods Glory he sent his one and only Son to save all mankind from our sins so we have no right to judge anyone you alow all who is saved reach to all you people Jesus loves you all

This is a masterpiece..His most beautiful song..

My mother died in 1982. This song still brings me to tears. Thank You, God, that You are keeping her safe till I get home...
Thank-you Lord for giving us Fernando; the beauty of his music is a gift to us believers!
Amen
I too wish to be Fernando’s neighbour in heaven.His music is so beautiful and annointed. He truly is a gift. I love you Fernando Ortega and I thank God for you. Blessings.

Couldn't agree more. Brilliant, Holy spirit anointed man

Fernando is amazing! Thank you God for creating him in your image and likeness. Please continue to give him song that glorifies you.
Amen!
Fernando Ortega gets 5 stars in the music world!! His music is some of the best I have ever heard!!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
No other artist's music touches my soul like Fernando's. His music is annointed in a special way that is different than most music I have ever experienced. I hope his house is on the same street as mine in heaven.
Ramal Reltub interesting.. hehe.. I want too to be his neighbor in heaven... haha
I feel the exact same way. I guess we'll be neighbors :) I was at a church concert of Fernando's and he was standing next to me singing during the congregational part. It was so funny to think that I thought I would have to wait until heaven for that to happen and it was happening right then. Still looking forward to heaven too.. :)
I also feel the same way. I hope I can be his neighbor in heaven. He is very special and annointed in his music but also in his love for Jesus.
So beautiful - peaceful, calm and lovely. Jesus is like this. He gives us this. Since He first came into my life 28 years ago, He has helped me through many, many times. He has never left me. He is faithful.
This is my favorite of his songs - he really knows how to paint a picture with his music - much like Rich Mullins did.
One of my favorite songs. This has brought me peace many times. Thank you to the Almighty and Fernando!!
You are the best musician I've ever seen and heard Mr Ortega..thank you for sharing your blessings with me. I cry and my heart aches so much with the love of Messiah because of your voice

Between the passing of my dad and my Mom's battle with Parkinson's, this song brings tremendous comfort. Thank you Fernando.
And now the passing of my 19 year old son.
Stephen Adams I’m so sorry for your losses 🙏
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed,
We shall meet at last.
I know this message is 7 years old. Nonetheless, I'm stopping to pray for you right now.
Steve: what beautiful words.
I miss my mom so much. I'll see her again one day.
My husband and I just drove through New Mexico on I-40, and watching the colored train cars in the distance is just as he describes.

There's a slow train
Pulling through the desert
The colored cars pass quietly from sight
Between the highway and the long horizon
Precious dreams wind away with the light.
My brother's and my sisters' faces linger
The hours of our childhood, grave and gold
Driving through these solitary places
Memories of their gentile kinship
Touch my soul
The hawk wheels away as we pass here
The clouds billow up and fly on
Down the road some hard turns
Are going to shake us
Ride with us
Through the breaking of the dawn
Worry for my loving mother
The dimming years,
The trials she has known
Her heart so kind and so weary
Keep her safe one more night
'til I get home
How I long to be right there beside her
And bring everything back to before
We'll arrive with the first light of morning
Keep her safe, let me hold her once more
The sage and Joshua tree remind me
Of the miles to go,
The journey that we're on
In the still, sweet air of the desert
We will ride
Through the breaking of the dawn
Tecks can absolutely make dogs sound soulful.
thank you dear friend
Listening to this at the breaking of the dawn..
G-d bless you Fernando.
*WE THANK YOU PO,WE LOVE YOU SO SO SO MUCH PO'OUR FATHER,OUR LOVING SAVIORBJESUS CHRIST*MESSIAH*😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘🙏❤️🌎❤️🙏🥳🎉❣️💘🤗😘😘😘😘😘😘
The break of the heart

The youtube version which includes lyrics is wrong. Somehow they put wrong lyrics or lyrics to some other song, I guess. The lyrics here are correct.
Fernando Ortega, (City of Sorrows) Is this a vision? What questions are you seeking to understand in the song?
mend o mend broken hearts..
For The 'Dreamers'
There is one person who has no soul.
What year was this concert.
Amazing !!!...someone please help me with the lyrics...
google them
Hey, you shouldn't say that Stan...that person is most likely doing their own soul searching. At least they heard the song, which means that maybe God is already at work in his or her heart. Pray and condemn not ♥
Has any one got the words to this song please
See video description up. Blessings. Cri
Check out David Kauffman!
His voice is kidding 😱
How do YOU know? Maybe they just don't like the song.
Why was there a commercial for a false religion ,the mormon church before a Christian singer like Fernando ortega.
listen you run these web sites dont taking it for Granted and stop misunderstaning things you dont know looking into peoples lives is not our busness but Gods who created us all and only he can read peoples hearts and minds yet if you read this God created you and I and even after we all sinned and fell short of Gods Glory he sent his one and only Son to save all mankind from our sins so we have no right to judge anyone you alow all who is saved reach to all you people Jesus loves you all
