I Saw Jesus by Brian Peters published on 2020-09-10T22:13:25Z Faith and social issues can be contentious and polarising. But for me, both combined is a marriage made in heaven. As a young songwriter I wanted to explore that, and this was one of those attempts. It is based on the ‘I Am’ sayings, and I thank you for listening.

A really effective presentation of you amazing message. A beautiful track Brian. Durge 2024-01-15T17:30:24Z Comment by Debra Buesking This is such a powerful song, Brian. It’s disturbing in a good way. Complacency is an enemy. 2023-10-05T11:41:30Z Comment by Dr. Marion Mensing I Love it! 2023-04-04T19:43:46Z Comment by Brian Peters @user-138663860: And I'm so glad you enjoyed it again, Sandy.

Thank you very much indeed!!! 2022-04-05T21:25:41Z Comment by Spirit Sound Innovators such wonderful song writing here my friend, love the biblical and philosophical feel to the lyrics, deep meaning and great effect on the human soul, always makes me wonder, the meaning of truth and reality separated from the mystic Jesus, he performed such great miracles and only found truth in spending his time helping the weak, the innocent, the lonely, the prostitutes, the poor, it no wonder his spirit is infinite and eternal, what a great track , thought provoking and enlightening and a reminder to who we really are if we want to be, wow ! stunning my friend, thank you - shine 2022-04-02T14:30:00Z Comment by Spirit Sound Innovators sweet ! 2022-04-02T14:21:25Z Comment by Didi and the Bells love this song, nice guitar ...good message 2022-02-25T11:09:35Z Comment by Nicholas Vital to listen to your guiding star performance as we mark the Jesus' birth. it's so easy for us all to miss the significant message for Christians and non-Christians alike.
