Marc Martel - Labor Of Love (Official Music Video)

- Andrew Petersen is easily one of the best classic songwriters I know here in Nashville. He’s already had a storied career as a singer-songwriter, recording about a dozen albums over the last 2 1/2 decades, and is the acclaimed author of the children’s book series “The Wingfeather Saga.” He’s your basic renaissance man, is always down for conversation over some English tobacco, and he’s a friend of mine, to boot.
Perhaps the thing Andrew is most well known for to his loyal fans, is his annual Behold The Lamb Of God Christmas tour, based on his 2004 release of the same name, on which he takes a small army of his musician friends on the road to perform the album in its entirety. The concert is an eclectic gathering of world-class ‘musos,’ filled with stories of faith, humor, pain, and redemption, told by Andrew and is cohorts. I’ve had the great honor of sharing the stage with Andrew & Co. for “Behold,” at the Ryman Auditorium here in Nashville, twice.
One of the two more cathartic moments of the show is “Labor Of Love,” usually sung by singer-songwriter Jill Phillips, who also sang on the album version. This heart-wrenching song about Jesus’ birth, depicting the bittersweet reality of what every parent endures during the birth of a child, in general - but also Mary and Joseph’s unique story, in particular - always stood out to me as well. I always include at least one song on my Christmas albums that leans heavily into the faith I profess as a follower of Jesus, and for The Christmas Collection, Vol. 2, “Labor Of Love” was the perfect fit, for its unique concept, its underlying discomfort, and quiet beauty.
I’m so grateful for Andrew’s blessing to record this one, and to have Ben Shive - Andrew’s band leader and pianist for many years, who also produced the original version of “Labor Of Love” - join me to produce the song.
Thanks for listening and watching.

Is there a way to order the CD as a gift and let the recipient know who the sender is?
I got mine! When it came in with that gold signature, I was blown away! Very cool.
It’s an absolutely beautiful song for the season. The birth of baby Jesus was the labor of God’s love for us.
OMG Marc…your voice rings as clear as the purest church bell…
Mark, I congratulate you on your birthday, only today I found out about you and watched your videos on RUclips, after Dimash, I thought nothing would surprise me, thank you for your creativity, I wish you a long, happy, full of creativity life !! ! Your new listener and admirer of your talent Arman from Kazakhstan!!!

Again, well written words and music. Great job!
This could be a classic 80s romantic movie theme song.
We just found you thru a youtube radio Christmas song game show. Then your Keith Green asleep in the light... we are hooked now!
What a masterpiece
Beautiful song sung by a miracle Marc!
Breathtaking voice, clean, clear and so beautiful. The words are true, the song and voice tell the story. You lifted my spirits Marc Martel. Thank you so much
👍👍👍
Mark, thank you for the beautiful song. All the best!😌
Mark, you are amazing!!! your voice is so good! thanks for the tale!
Such a beautiful song and sang so incredibly well. So moving.
Lyrics are so moving and it's so beautifully performed. Going back for a second listen now. I usually never listen to Christmas music till December; glad I broke my rule
I'd never heard of this song before this. It's really sad, actually and certainly not the fairy tale depiction in most songs. Quite beautiful.
Beautiful voice, song and video🎄💚🙌
Beautiful song! Not surprised coming from him..
Just. Beautiful.
God is smiling at this one.
Beautiful song and story behind the recording, a birthday gift to us, with many thanks in return. Thanks, Marc!
I love all of your "fun" Christmas songs on the new album, but when you announced that "Labor of Love" was included this year, I think I knew it would be my favorite on the album before I even listened to it - for many of the reasons that it stands out in Andrew Peterson's album. It doesn't shy away from the _real, raw_ story.
Thank you for not shying away from your faith in the midst of the "fun" that is getting to record and perform music to audiences all around the world.
@Mike Gorski _Go the distance,_ Marc!
Gyönyörű hang köszi neked marc

GOD BLESS MARC & HIS FAMILY!!! LOVE YOUR SHARED GIFT!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Very beautiful Marc,song out the hart
Morjens! This song and your two Christmas albums, it's like early Christmas present. As a former musician i find these songs all so well arranged and played. It truly is music to my ears. And your vocals...just great. These albums are so good that it's almost impossible not to listen these also at spring time and summer time and autumn... Cheers from the land of Santa Claus!!!
Happiest of Birthdays yet once again you gave us such a beautiful gift this Christmas. Many blessings to you and your family this year. I hope its full of love and tender moments . Always Love & Music
когда слушаешь Марка, попадаешь в сказку. Своим голосом нарисовал красивую картину. Это искусство.
Absolutely beautiful! My first time hearing this and I absolutely love it! Keep on spreading faith and joy to the world. PS Still waiting for All is Well to be added to your Christmas repertoire. ❤️🎄🎼🎹🎸🥁🎤
Just wow!!
Oh Marc, why? Why did you make me cry today before I could even start my day?!! But that's OK - this song is amazing, and you are too. God bless you & your family. I hope y'all have a wonderful Thanksgiving. My daughter, Maggie also sends her love! 💜
I just heard this song on the radio and I had to find out who was singing it. It is wonderful and it touched my heart.
Beautiful

Labor of Love
It was not a silent night
There was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry
In the alleyways that night
On the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean
And the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
Had no mother's hand to hold
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
Noble Joseph by her side
Callused hands and weary eyes
There were no midwives to be found
On the streets of David's town
In the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed
Shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb
He was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the faith
That could make the mountains move
It was a labor of pain
It was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark
With every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love
For little Mary full of grace
With the tears upon her face
It was a labor of love

Absolutely beautiful!!!
Amazing!
beautiful😊
As always, Marc Martel ❤🙏🏼
🥰
❤❤❤Happy Birthday 🎂🥂🥰
Belated Happy Birthday. Beautiful song sung with an amazing voice. Thank You and Thanks for introducing me to new Christmas songs on your albums. I've listened to the first Christmas Collection all year. With 1000's of Christmas songs out there, WHY do stations play the same couple hundred all the time?? Hope to hear you on the radio some day and how about a Xmas concert? Off to purchase the autographed CD
I listen to his Christmas music all year long too! His music plays a lot on my local Christian radio station, but it'd be so incredible to hear it on the mainstream ones!
Love marc martel
Well done Mark
Magnificent Marc

This grounds me when my body needs to be grounded.

This has got me shaking. As a newly mother.

The composition, the melody, the arrangement, the recording, everything is in the right place. I just wonder why people are not giving this millions of views. It deserves more love.
❤
Amen!
HI MARC MARTEL, I LOVE U! :)
Thank You Amigo Kap der guten Hoffnung 😘🥳😎👻💔🤝🏻💞🙏💘👍🏻💞👌❣
@Marc Martel when are you going to do a queen cover tour in the UK
Как будто Фредди выпустил новую песню. Спасибо Марк. Как обычно круто.
Нет... Я бы не сказала, что тут голос Марка похож на Фредди...
Это таланты) они так звучат.
Beautiful song reminds me if Elton John play the piano and Freddy Mercury sang it
amazing talent and voice
An manchen Stellen könnte man meinen Freddy würde es singen . Super Song mach weiter so👏 .Viel Erfolgreiche Jahre wünsche ich dir .
Oh gosh, Marc! Love your write-up about Andrew and your thoughts about him! He's an amazing guy, and the day (about four years ago) I realized he was one of your friends, well, that notched him up even more in my books! Your version of his song is transcending. Love every second of it. Thanks so much!
And, I listen to your live performance of O Holy Night at his Behold the Lamb concert (at the Ryman) multiple times every year. It's incredibly powerful.
Красота
This is the best of Marc's new songs this year. WHY? Because there is more Marc in the mix. I love all the vocal backgrounds Marc has layered into this.
