New fans of Michael Card?

Last Saturday I went to Michael Card Live Concert. Before the concert, I honestly never knew who Michael Card was, but now... I'm seriously considering to be one of his fans :p

I like the powerful lyrics of the songs he wrote and the way he sang it-from the bottom of his heart. I believe it came from a deep understanding of the Scripture and wonderful experiences with God. He talked and sang about Genesis (creation), Sara the hopeless old lady :), Leviticus :p, Gomer & Hosea (forgiveness), Zephaniah, Jesus, Simon Peter. About a better freedom, about wisdom & foolishness, about sorrow...
I really learnt a lot.

I managed to take a couple of video. Here is one... *only some parts of the song*




Come Lift Up Your Sorrows

If you are wounded, if you are alone,
If you are angry, if your heart is cold as stone,
If you have fallen and if you are weak,
Come find the worth of God
That only the suffering seek.

Come lift up your sorrows
And offer your pain;
Come make a sacrifice
Of all your shame;
There in your wilderness
He's waiting for you
To worship Him with your wounds,
For he's wounded too.

He has not stuttered, and He has not lied
When He said, "Come unto me,"
You're not disqualified;
When your heavy laden, you may want to depart,
But those who know sorrow are closest to His heart.

In this most Holy Place
He's made a sacred space
For those who will enter in
And trust to cry out to Him;
You'll find no curtain there,
No reason left for fear;
There's perfect freedom here
To weep every unwept tear.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest"

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
a broken and contrite heart, o GOD, you will not despise"
