- Performance of "I Want to Live" by John Denver From John Denver's Montana Christmas Skies DVD. A classic Pro-Life message if there ever was one. You can hear all the children in the womb piling onto his vocal chords and crying out through his voice. Sometimes, John Denver even brings out the best in himself.
While there are several renditions of "I Want to Live" posted on CZcams, this rendition from Montana Christmas Skies is one of the most special, perhaps the most special, which John Denver gave to us, as it is performed in the context of Christmas, where we have our attention on the Birth of the Christ Child, and without trampling too heavily upon some peoples contrary theology, he is highlighting an important truth, that just as the Baby Jesus cried out in the womb "I Want to Live" so too do all children cry out, as they all have the same destiny before them, as they all have the same potential within them. John Denver is clearly tapping into a Deep Inner Sense of Reality in this regard, as his voice rings with such a genuine and powerful expression of the intrinsic value of every child, no matter what the race, no matter what the culture.
I am wondering if a woman on her way into an abortion clinic, if she could be persuaded to stop and listen to this video, when the video ended, and only the memory of it filled her heart, whether she would actually continue on into the abortion clinic.
25 Years Without John In The World Never Forgotten RIP John Denver Taken Far Too Soon Loved Around The World 🌏💔 Never Forgotten
I am constantly impressed by this man and musician! He was extraordinary, he believed what I believe! I love him!
And the cry of billions of unborn innocent children have the same hope.
I will love john denver and his music the rest of my life

John Denver was a vessel of the Lord. Truly magnificent gift from God. Oh how he's missed. He was imperfectly PERFECT. Just what the Lord understands.
We lost John much too soon. I was fortunate to attend his outdoor concert in the Rocky Mountains by Park City, Utah. Just him and his guitar--no band. On that perfect summer even as he was singing "Colorado Rocky Mountain High," an eagle appeared in the sky above us, soaring and floating on the mountain wind currents. It stayed with us through the lyrics, "I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly," then left when the song ended. I like to think Mother Nature was thanking John for loving her and all her children.
Oh man this song hits me hard, my fight with cancer is finally over after three years and this song is beautiful!!!!
My friend Adam Nelson favorite song and he lived by until yesterday. He past away from cancer but left behind a daughter and twin boys. He loved his children and enjoyed watching them grow up. This song helped him after his Brother past away as a teenager from cancer too. May we all live and help others and find peace. God Bless.
GEEZ LOTS OF CANCER GOING ON THERE .. NOT GOOD .. THEY NEEDED TO WATCH WHAT THEY EAT .. THIS WORLD IS MESSED UP BAD ..
one of the most profoundly beautiful songs- words, song content, performance- all top notch: ".... we are standing all together.....on the threshhold of a dream...no more hunger, no more killing, no more wasting life away..." For those that believe, soon John, soon!!
I love your comment!
I agree with your comments on John D. Insights on why human BEINGs should “want to live” …in order “to give” for Beings blessed with health & food should “want to see, to know” others are hungry & suffering w/ ill health …
to know we all have unique gifts to give
….”We are standing all together
Face to face and arm in arm
We are standing on the threshold of a dream
No more hunger no more killing
No more wasting life away
It is simply an idea
And I know its time has come”
A truly wonderful song Thank you John Love John Denver❤
This song is dedicated to my friend Billy who died from covid-19 he was a beautiful spirit who loved everyone. This song is for you Billy ✌❤
I'm so sorry for your loss
This song got me through a lot of tough times as a child. John Denver wrote this song when he was serving on the President's Commission on World Hunger in the late '70's. He co-founded the World Hunger Project.
Thank you for the history of this song.
Yes thank you that's so cool to know
John Denver all over again. Rip John Denver Henry John deutschendorf
One of the most emotional songs I have ever known. Through music, long live John Denver. 💞💗💞
What a talent........what a voice.....a true music legend
It is said that “the one” will come again, with a message to all humanity, if this is true, then he indeed came again in the form of John Denver
MISSING ME SOME JOHN DENVER. Some critics think Denver had passed his peak by 1979, but this performance shows he was still at his best in 1991. Great vocals, no autotune, great message. Tell me, which singer today performs as well? He was a great man, and I was missing him tonight. Go with God, John.
My mom and dad have been obsessed with John Denver literally forever then i started to listen to it and realized what they were talking about its amazing what music can do to you.
I sure do miss his music. Lucky, we have CZcams.
For me? A beautiful masterpiece..... Thanks John..from Italy 🇮🇹🇺🇲
John Denver has always been one of my favourite country singers and guitar players.

Beautiful song. Thank you John! 🎵🎶💚💙His voice and writing talent is a gift from God. Share his music and the other great singers and song writers from pre 1990s, so the younger generations can hear true gifts of songs and music. ✌
The world needs to listen to his words x and act on them x

Who dislike John don't know good music
Such a great voice!
Beautiful message.
Amazing singer! That vibrato!
One of my favorite songs!
We need this song .
Beautiful!!
I think of all the unborn babies who never get the chance to live, grow, run, play, share, give, and love when I hear John sing this song. Abortion is an evil that must be stopped. An innocent child who grows in the womb has the RIGHT to be born and live out his/her life. If the mother doesn't want the baby, she should let someone adopt her/him. It is a sin to kill a child and deny that child the right and joy of living.
I believe they will get to do all of those things in the heavenly realm, no matter which stage in their life they passed. And equally not all children born into this earthly life have the simple privilege of doing those things of which you write. How many children have never known safety and joy. I’m sure it’s never that black and white.
This song always makes me put things into perspective. One of my all-time favorites. Love you JD.
Miss this guy and his music
I loved him much!
I misss him sooooooo much❤
I want to live woww so beautiful and full of message to each of us. I am a cancer survivor i want to live and share the goodness of the Lord. Thank you Lord for another chance to live 😇😇😇

Pro-life? Really? Why do you turn a song like this into your own political statement?--it's completely unfair to John. This song is talking about the terrible things that we do to the children who are already born, the way that so many of them live in hunger and poverty, and we do almost nothing to help them. You prove the classic line: You're against abortion, but once a child is born, they're on their own. That's not pro-life; it's simply pro-birth. This is not a song about "the children in the womb"--rather, it's a song about the children who are here already, suffering from neglect and abuse.
Lmao 😊😊😊
Sounds pro life to me
Every baby has the right to live. How many Barbra Streisands and Wolfgang Mozarts have the evil ones murdered?
War, famine, disease are but a few of the murderers that have taken our children from our arms.
There would be no hungry, ragged children in America if everyone cared as much about the welfare of actual children as they do about the welfare of fetuses.
Sick!!!
Music of yesteryears are gold...today's r all trash!
This song has nothing to do with abortion, pro or con. It is tied in with John's work fighting hunger around the world and his anti-war views, knowing how children are affected by those conflicts. It's spurred by images like those of starving Ethiopian kids, or children in war torn countries.
