Bjork - Jesus Prayer

[@CorbysOrbit]

I am so glad to be living on the same planet as this woman.

[@irinamaribelcruz]

so am I Paul, so am I.

[@exoexpansion]

Paul Corby and me. so much.

[@betterhealthbetterlife4912]

She is an incredible soul :)

[@4b1dd3nfru1t]

Paul Corby I think I recently just said the same exact thing Paul you must be a wonderful person

[@irinamaribelcruz]

@John Doe Amen 💜

[@MartinSlovakian]

Whether you believe in God or not, whether you like Björk or not, you have to admit: this song is a pure delight for your soul. RIP John Tavener.

[@davidnjohn]

I suppose it is a Song, but really it’s a Prayer.

[@pfpbilltown7919]

I believe it was Saint John Chrysostom who said that when you come to pray, "light your candle and close your eyes knowing that you stand in the presence of all the angels and the saints before God." This piece would work well for that. Lord, as you know and as you will, have mercy.

[@AthanasiaOrtholady]

❤YES❤We all that we need to read is his book The Divine Ladder❤

[@postin17]

I am speechless. Bjork has a true gift of simplicity and kindness in her voice.

[@foxerella23]

How can someone sound so powerful & fragile at the same time?!!?!! Awesome,sublime beautiful Bjork ❣️❣️❣️🌋

[@rocoreb]

the way you pray this, i have heard, is you inhale while reciting the first part: 'kyrie iisou christe', then exhale while dying the second part: 'eleison me'. the strange thing is that i tried it one night for about an hour while in bed, and i started yawning and getting tears, but gradually felt comfort in my heart.

[@DarkMoonDroid]

Yup.

[@MultiMamele]

God cleansed you and gave you a new a new heart (or showed it to you). As a testimony of Him and coming to Him. Come To Jesus Christ. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

[@andrear.4864]

Years ago I started reciting the Jesus prayer in the car on my way to and from a stressful job. It replaced the Starbucks brew usually there for sipping. I figured out the breathing on my own as a way to keep it more regular. I felt calmer on the job to deal better with the situation. Saved some money too!

[@angieooo7591]

Only Bjorks voice was able to elevate this prayer in such a manner

[@abielticas1693]

God bless Björk.

[@tomadycomedtodosdeel]

Björk bless God

[@GojuBob]

One of the most moving things I have heard in my life.

[@Ainz411]

Amazing, this song puts me in a reflective trance. I even play it in the gym! Love it

[@Frankrm7]

That was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life. WOW

[@terrynolan605]

The use of Mandelbrot Fractals as a visual gives the music a mystical tone.

[@lisa-im4kv]

it IS mystical

[@emmiews]

I bought this wonderful 2 cd's some years ago. Bjork sings in greek, arameic and english.The titel is:John Tavener;His life and carreer,Naxos 8.558152-53 this song is on cd 2."prayer of the heart Bjork/Brodsky quartet copyright 2003 Wellhart Ltd/one little indian Ltd .A haveron vilolin,P Cassidy violoin, J Thomas cello.

[@katherine3486]

Beautiful! The more people pray for God's mercy upon themselves the more they will heal, and heal thousands around them (paraphrased from Saint Seraphim of Sarov) Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me. And upon Thy whole world. Amen.

[@kevin-douglasolive3616]

I'm a Quaker and we traditionally eschew any prayers that aren't spontaneous and Spirit-led. Luckily I'm not a traditional Quaker and my practice includes Quaker as well as Christian, Buddhist and other expressions of spirituality. This. Is. Gorgeous. (Although, I'm biased--I love Bjork and have for over half my life, since the Sugar Cubes. She does not believe in God. That's cool. I thank her for bringing this powerful prayer to me, to help me when I need it. I've found power in this prayer and she's made it beautiful. Her own concept of a deity doesn't affect me. Her art does.

[@nagolore]

Marvelous! Magnifique! Beautiful! So sensitive and musical!!! Thanks John and Björk!

[@TheJygor]

lord JESUS CHRIST, son of GOD, have mercy of me::::::::::: I'M IN LOVE! Björk is singing gospel!

[@rabit818]

I have to hear this on my stereo really loud. Taverner’s long sustained notes and Bjork’s heartfelt singing is wonderful.

[@SuperBlueTriangle]

This is hauntingly beautiful!

[@katherine3486]

That 15 minutes went really fast, as it always does when praying. Enjoy the journey! Hold onto Jesus, for He is your life. Make Him yours.

[@ndop]

WOW... I never hear this song... thanks for upload this.. Bjork is AMAZING!

[@sassulusmagnus]

I didn't know she had recorded this. Thanks for uploading. It's beautiful. On a purely emotional level, which seems to be where Bjork draws a lot of her artistic inspiration, it feels like it comes from a place something like the track Generous Palmstroke. There is that sense of simplicity, humility, longing, trust, giving oneself over.

[@Saanyooo]

I am speechless, this is just so simple, in the meaning of purity, and its talk about itself, you only have to listen to it. This is the state where words have no such meaning to describe the feelings.

[@monikasea]

it is very powerful and beautiful like a meditation

[@davidnjohn]

Beautiful work, thank you for making it Richard.

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Thank you, David. My pleasure🙂

[@psychedelia11]

may heaven be a place on all of earths surface

[@MrTriangleman]

[@julie223783]

[@MonikaPetryBHV]

Gott ist das schön! Thanks a lot and God bless you all

[@TheVerosimar]

BEAU-TI-FUL ! Thanks a lot, a nice way to start the day, gives me spirit and inspiration

[@-septimus-345]

To me as well. Every single morning.

[@lyrensutz]

This is just wonderful and profound.

[@BjorksMusic]

This is a masterpiece.

[@poltergaste242]

Thank you, Bjork!!!!

[@sotirissugahgalore]

amazingly beautiful!!!

[@Casilocapuntocom]

This song makes me feel an inner peace

[@CastalianVisions]

Franctals and Holograms correspond better that anything else to consciousness. Superb images that go perfectly with an exceptional song.

[@mcpablo13]

What a lovely song.

[@MrDoremouse]

This is the FULL version (a shortened version of it on KZbin spoils it, if you ask me).The first language is Greek, the second is Coptic (spoken as a liturgical language in prayers and hymns by Egyptian Christians), and the third is (of course) in English.The cosmic fractal video goes well with the spirituality.

[@cubbybear2630]

Tavener wrote this especially for Bjork's voice? Good call. She brings her sense of earnestness to this beautiful piece. I always loved the sort of "purity" of her voice. She doesn't hit all the notes, it must be said ... but she sure does feel them. And she seems to innately know how to transmit that depth of feeling too.

[@landianina7938]

I'm sorry but which notes did she not hit here? Give me the timestamps. Each an every note here was carefully chosen and correctly executed.

[@wollehabibi]

Love your sounds :)

[@EliteAgent51]

Wow this made me cry love u Bjork

[@frizzell65]

Beautiful!

[@einweieskaninchen413]

She expresses the comlex intense feelings during a long extensive lonley prayer. The things which want be said here are not primely in the simple repetitive lyrics, they are mainly in the many different expressive emotions which were presented through the singing but too komplex to put them into words. Björk is the best representator for this cause she has the multilayer requirement in her great voice and is an very complex character who really knew how to express herself and her feelings trough singing. They could not have dound a better one for this I think.

[@duncanwcraig9668]

jesus christ oath struth that was beautiful.

[@RainbowwAireanna]

beautiful..

[@isabelle3344]

she's amazing:))))beautiful:)

[@DanielaSilva-jv2yf]

Excelente video

[@iropappa7842]

No it was greek in the beginning (i'm greek so i understand). It repeated the same frase meaning "Lord jesus, show mercy on me". Then i lost it, cause it turned to latin indeed.

[@pagandude1]

that is very interesting.i am really keen on info like this...thanks.

[@nathalieferrando4294]

Magnifique❤ Bjork??..j'espère que le seigneur Jésus au milieu de sa création islandaise vous touche vraiment et parle en vôtre cœur et votre esprit...à travers la composition de votre musique que seul Jésus peut vous inspirer....Jésus Personne D'autre..... .Jésus est vraiment vivant...🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🇨🇵🇨🇵

[@fractalnightmare]

@bronsonisr - "Jesus Christ's prayer" is a very short prayer, which is associated with a christian school of thought/sect called "isihasm". The isihasts would aspire to say this prayer in their minds constantly, all day, even during sleep somehow, in order to dedicate their mind to the worship of Christ. One must remember that this was mostly practiced by hermits and monks. The idea of constantly repeating a phrase such as this seems like something Bjork would take interest in, musically.

[@michaelj690]

this is awesome!

[@X0OmarX0]

My God, She Is Very Powerful When She Sings.

[@UltraModerno]

Sublime ❤❤❤❤

[@InfinitoCinema]

Solo estoy aquí por juan son, Lo extraño demasiado y se que bjork tiene un toque de ÉL!

[@cedonullidude]

[@ILoveMagic15]

I mean, that's technically what it is.

[@georgecholera]

[@zenokarlsbach4292]

Can't miss.

[@lydiamoonzombie]

Such a spellcaster

[@iko105]

F#ck i watched this after a joint! Cant think of anyhting better to watch/listen. Bjork you are everything.

[@loukasv5213]

Κύριε , Ιησού Χριστέ , Υίε του Θεού , ελέησόν με Kirhie Ihisu Christe , Ihie tu Theu , elehison mai (is the pray you can make with the''komposkini'' or as the catholics have as i think the rozarion)

[@ut0p1an]

Beautiful - that's all.

[@stefanoartifoni328]

Grande Bjork, Gran bel pezzo

[@matvraketpunktse]

Underbart suggestiv!

[@clva8691]

I sooo hope that she is singing this from her heart. I pray that the father will truely call her to His Son. I hope she is for "real" and not just doing it for the sake of art.

[@ripetomato9629]

This is fkng Brilliant.

[@lazymercy]

Perfect for meditating. Love.

[@catherinepallois]

extraordinaire

[@rogernehring1181]

What if she is? This is a mantra of sorts. It is also a piece of musical art composed by Sir John Taverner and she is an interpretive artist.

[@homarespinolo5006]

No sé dónde me lleva pero no lo puedo evitar es extraño y hermoso

[@rachelelizabeth1986]

Bjork is awesome

[@FilmsareGreat]

im sitting there trying to figure out when the picture was going to land... :(

[@lilianesite2]

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. but you are the eternity and you are the mirror.

[@soifrane]

BTW "Lord Jesus-Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me": "The Jesus Prayer" or "Prayer of the Heart" is an ancient practice of the Oriental/Orthodox Church. Search: Hesychasm, Nepsis, Mount Athos, Gregory Palamas, read "The way of a pilgrim" (a classic of russian spirituality), watch (for example) "Early Christian mysticism: The Jesus Prayer" by Ted Nottingham on KZbin: History, then explanation of the practice in the last 10 minutes. And have mercy and more if you feel like it.

[@rachelelizabeth1986]

and I love the trippy stuff

[@MrsShirotora]

In Coptic after the Greek? Also, my dog is sitting in my lap and seems very interested in this video.

[@edsonvieiraa]

I'm an atheist, but this song goes beyond religion

[@Eyeballsx317537]

Jeez.... am I the ONLY ONE on the west coast who has HAD IT with those damn Lake tahoe ads??????

[@marguerilla]

what is this FROM?! i am in awe there is a björk version of the jesus prayer, god truly does provide...

[@ChetValleyChurches]

Hi. The English composer John Tavener (1944-2013) wrote this piece with Björk in mind, to suit her unique voice. It is a setting of the ancient Christian 'Jesus Prayer'- "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me" in Engish and Aramaic.

[@emekonen]

I can't find this anywhere on iTunes or Amazon
