My Father passed away years ago ... You were his Idol ... You and Aaron Wilburn .... When I was a young guy always was hanging around ... you two touch me to start preaching
I saw Dallas homes many years ago. He was at a church near my house. He pulled up with a great big travel trailer. And they got to see him for free. I bought one of his C. D's and he autographed it.
I became a Christian at Oregon State University in 1978 and a friend of a friend gave me the "Live" album. That was my introduction to the world of devotion and Christian music. I still sing the songs!
Mr Holm.. I cannot put in words the impact your wonderful ministry has made. For me personally and for others. Y. I brought your record ..Dallas Holm and praise live in 1979 and those songs have strengthened me and will live forever!! God bless you.
The songs by Dallas from the 70's were favorites for years. From the 90's till 2 weeks ago never listened to a CD then during a difficult time in our lives my wife brought out ''Here we are'' album. I've listened to it and wept most of the way through at least 3 times since. I've been very filled up, challenged and given new Hope by each anointed song. Genuine ministry through music lives on...
Hallelunah! I have always loved this song and now I can pass this onto my grown grandkids, your songs still bless folks Dallas, don't ever think they have stopped blessings us.
I've been listening to Dallas since I was a kid in high school in the early '70s. His music and ministry blessed my sox so much, we named one of our sons in his honor. Rock on, Dallas! Love the new venues!!
Thanks for posting this song Dallas. My wife & I heard & met you for the first time in 1970 in Rochester, NY at a David Wilkerson crusade meeting. We were privileged to serve as Lay Missionaries for 21 years in NY & CT & have enjoyed & been inspired by all your music ever since first meeting you & David Wilkerson.. About 40 years later, we got to see you a second time just a few years ago in Forestburg, Texas at the Concert you presented at the Baptist Church there. What a joy it was hearing & seeing you again after all these years. It is inspiring to see you continuing to let your Light shine brightly for Christ. Hope to see & hear you again soon. You are included on our prayer list which we call in prayer, everyone by name on the list during our daily devotions.
So glad Jesus got a hold of my life. All undeserved on my part, but can't thank Him enough. I really like Dallas' music; good words, good guitar playing.
Thank you for introducing your songs / music out to this Generation that didn't know your music. I'm looking forward to introducing your music to my grand children. So glad that I searched today for the song Here we are... it really touched my heart in 1979 . Was searching for a style of music to play on my acoustical guitar that would touch hearts . Your music actually did , it touched my heart and gave me a better understanding of our Savior Jesus and His wonderful love for us all. Hope to hear your writing New Songs in the next years. Words can't really reveal all that is in our heart, however we ALL are called to share our love for Jesus with the world. Thank you for sharing your heart in song it has made a difference to many !
I've been a big fan since the late 70's and still enjoy listening to your music. This is great. I'm sure that many people have wondered, as I have, about the stories behind many of your songs. God bless you and all of your efforts for His Kingdom brother. I would still look forward to seeing you perform and getting to meet you if you ever get back around Richmond, Va.
I am looking forward to more stories behind the songs, even if they are just done with a web cam, the stories are wonderful and put much more meaning to the songs. Thank you for sharing!
Great to see you on You Tube Dallas. Thanks so much for sharing. It was great to see you in Denton, TX. a few years ago. Hope that you will come back this way someday. .
God bless you. All the years. Sound better than ever. I was 12 or 13 and gave my life to Christ at a church campout. First CASSETTE TAPE I ever received was the tape with this song on it. I became a fan. All your songs, discs, digital-downloads now. You inspired, and helped when I was down or feeling good, no-matter. Formative years allow a solid foundation, and you were integral. Never was able to see you in concert, but wanted to badly. I saw almost everyone else (Andrae, Archers, Steve Green, Chuck Girard, Steve Camp, Ken Medema, et al., the list is long, even up to today's groups and artists!), but not the one guy who helped me the most. Disabled now, after 35 years (I have Myasthenia Gravis and MS), I played the piano and sang and pastored (not at your quality or caliber, on many levels, and your inspired talent!), I still desire to maybe one day get to see and hear a Dallas Holm concert, the one who was there first for my faith, when I prayed for Christ to hold me through life, and never let me go. And I prayed that if I ever was to drift or sway, or become distracted or lose my priorities, I asked Jesus to "steal my soul when I wasn't looking" (in the terms and limited-insight a 13-year-old boy would have!). Like this song. Your songs I've listened to, every new release, every time, every year, all through life. Thanks, from a little pilgrim in a far-away land called Nicholasville KY (next to Lexington and Wilmore). Thank you so much for being there in all your songs, all these years.
Thanks for doing this! I really enjoy hearing the stories behind the songs, and I'm sure it's been said before, but I feel "Behind every great song is a great story!"
How old are you, Bro? And yet you sound as good as I remember when I first heard you in 1979, when I first met the Lord. (October 18, 1979). at about 9:30 pm
Dallas, will you be touring anywhere near Fergus Falls, MN some time in the near future? I missed your concert in Dilworth, MN last August, but have played your music a lot on UA-cam since.
In today's world we have militant atheism. Some of Dallas's songs capture the times they were written in. This is one of those songs where spirituality is introduced to existentialism. In the next age it will be existentialism without spirituality. Pliny the younger in AD 110 described Christianity as a political association, that is without spirituality. When spirituality is gone and the world returns to an existentialist and political form of Christianity the songs of Dallas Holm will be considered the first steps away from spirituality. In that world these songs will be iconic.
May i ask what was the title of the album of the live concert you did. It has a part where you spoke when your tongue stuck in the cold sled. I miss the songs there. Thank you.
“Thought I had peace of mind, but you never have peace until you open up and let Jesus in. “ -- sounds good, but be careful because this can be a bit misleading to cause people to think that we have seek God at some moment in time. Scriptures say otherwise, brother Dallas. What do they indicate our prodigal son condition is? “There are none who seek after God.” “And you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sin.” We were lost, like Isaiah 53:1 says “All we like sheep have gone astray, each to his own way, and God has laid upon Him the iniquities of us all.” We were bind… “blinded by the God of this world.” So at our moment of awakening to truth, which is 100 % of God, we can’t see to open any door of our heart, just like the prodigal son, not realizing his Father would fully accept him back. The door in Revelation is to the churches.. they won’t let Jesus into their system of beliefs and instead he never gets to KNOW them in an intimate way. We were dead to the things of God, and running like the prodigal son, to get away from the father, not understanding how good he is. So how can a blind, lost, and dead person who is running from God find true peace? Only when we come to our senses by the spirit beginning a good work in us. Jesus is named Yeshua for a reason…”And you shall call his name Yeshua for He shall save his people from their sins (wrong thinking about God, life, and every important subject in life.) sin begins in the heart/mind. “All that matters in this life below is not what you are or how much you know, but the difference is made in the heart.” (Heart/mind connection to Father God must be restored to a new creation… by the only one who can create… by Him who baptizes us into the Body of Christ by the washing of regeneration by the spirit of God. In Christ alone I place my trust.. after he woke me up, not before.. I couldn’t even find the door to open it to a God I was told didn’t exist…. A loving God. A God who love keeps no record of wrongs. His whole message in judgement is Did I have an intimate relationship with you? Did I know you? John 17:3 tells that life is all about a Knowing… a knowing of the TRUE God and his Son Jesus Christ.
Dallas I will always remember you and Linda. Your song I SAW THE LORD meant so much to me that it was played at my wife's memorial service
My Father passed away years ago ... You were his Idol ... You and Aaron Wilburn .... When I was a young guy always was hanging around ... you two touch me to start preaching
I had a cassette that used over and over that had this song and I'll rise again...truly timeless music
I saw Dallas homes many years ago. He was at a church near my house. He pulled up with a great big travel trailer. And they got to see him for free. I bought one of his C. D's and he autographed it.
I became a Christian at Oregon State University in 1978 and a friend of a friend gave me the "Live" album. That was my introduction to the world of devotion and Christian music. I still sing the songs!

Thanks for doing this! I really enjoy hearing the stories behind the songs, and I'm sure it's been said before, but I feel "Behind every great song is a great story!"
Brings back college days.
The first song I did In spanish! Also the whole BELIEVER musical (Paul Johnson singers) also in spanish
The way you said hello THis is Dallas Holm reminded me of Johnny Cash
How old are you, Bro? And yet you sound as good as I remember when I first heard you in 1979, when I first met the Lord. (October 18, 1979). at about 9:30 pm
great song bro love it
Praying For you and your wife. Psalm 103
And those deers are now all in heaven.
Pretty good stuff
Dallas, will you be touring anywhere near Fergus Falls, MN some time in the near future? I missed your concert in Dilworth, MN last August, but have played your music a lot on UA-cam since.
Love your music for decades. Don't care for headpieces of deer on the wall. I could never hunt for any animal, only lost souls.

Who is playing guitar on the original cut? I tried to search it but no luck. Has an Elvis feel sounds like James Burton playing guitar.
May i ask what was the title of the album of the live concert you did. It has a part where you spoke when your tongue stuck in the cold sled. I miss the songs there. Thank you.
The title of the album is "This is My Song"
Donnie Swaggart stole your title "The story behind the song" and he named his tv program on the Swaggart network SBN!
No surprise what they'd do.
Sounds like “Tulsa Time” hehehe
