December 5th Mark Schultz Concert - We are blessed!

One week ago we were in the midst of final preparations for the Mark Schultz Concert that was to begin at 7 pm.  Anticipation and expectations were running high.  And when the hour arrived, Mark Schultz did not disappoint! You could probably ask anyone in attendance and they would say that the concert went above and beyond their expectations!

The concert was a near sell-out crowd and the pews (and extra chairs) were essentially full. Yet,
the smaller venue made for an intimate setting and the feeling that Mark was singing "just for me". At one point Mark even made the comment that it felt like being in a big living room surrounded by friends!

For more than an hour and a half the crowd listened to and sang along with some of Mark Schultz's biggest hits - "I Am", "Letters from War", "Walking Her Home", to name just a few.  The Mark Schultz favorites were interspersed with a multitude of treasured Christmas carols such as "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World".  All in all, the entire evening was truly a blessing and those who attended indeed felt blessed to be there.  Check out the pictures from the concert here:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151865893414385.1073741831.248295764384&type=1&l=fb68237816


The only downside of the night was that we were not able to have video with the music, as the set-up was not compatible with the way our system is currently configured.  So, for those who have not seen a Mark Schultz concert before and would like to see the video that goes with the song "Letters from War", here you go: (Enjoy! And, Merry Christmas!)

Lyrics:

This Fragile Breath

I searched the world
For a song that I could sing
Praise to my King
A gift that I could bring
But no music I found
Could compare to You
Not one could do justice
To Your glory
What are my songs
Compared to Yours

You speak with thunder and lightning
Your voice shakes the mountains
The foundations of the earth
All I can offer is this fragile breath
With each one I'll praise You
With each one I'll praise You more

I searched the world
For a poem I could read
A rhyme that would bring
Glory to my King
But no writing I found
Was worthy of this God
High above all other gods
What are my words
Compared to Yours

You speak with thunder and lightning
Your voice shakes the mountains
The foundations of the earth
All I can offer is this fragile breath
With each one I'll praise You
With each one I'll praise You more

The Love of God

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell

O the love of God how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
O the love of God
It shall evermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God's love so sure shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
The saints' and angels' song

O the love of God how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
O the love of God
It shall evermore endure
The saints' and angels' song

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the oceans dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

O the love of God how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
O the love of God
It shall evermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
