Liked his style and the way the lyrics

Once he mentioned that, and the kind of weird way the song was played and sang, I really didn't get much out of the song, but then again, to be fair, I know that music is like that... what appeals to one, does nothing for someone else.

Actually, I didn't know that. I just like this type of piano expression. I listen to a lot of Jim Brickman. Anything with piano or sax will cause me to look up and take notice.

What I got out of the song is that I have felt God to be more present and powerful than the elements around me. So, in that regard, I identified with the song - "You're more real than the ground I am standing on..."

I have been in dark places where I could only, audibly, say, "Thank you for allowing me to pray and feel your presence today." In those dark moments he is very real, more real than I feel that I am real.

The lyrics to the Abba song are powerful. I agree with you on that. I just heard the reference to Brannan Manning, and was somewhat hindered by that.

Beautiful songs by Jim Brickman... I love the piano and sax too. My son plays the sax, my daughter the piano, I am blessed!

I could see that being a hindrance. If I don't like a performer, I am not going to get into their song, so I get that.

And, really, I might have changed this line to something else - "You're closer than the skin on my bones"

That is a little creepy sounding. It doesn't sound as awesome as - "You're more real than the ground I am standing on".

Hear my heart - a song for those times you don't have words to say, no prayer that you can pray... Lord hear my heart...

Mr Obrien has a beautiful voice!
I did not realize he was a former singer
with the group NewSong.

This song just played on the radio and it blessed me.

The Love of God
MERCY ME

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
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from his sin

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 ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

Hallelujah [3x]

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
