We lost our 15 month old nephew this summer and as I watch this video, I am reminded that even in my anger and my doubts, I have a God who loves me. Even in my depths of depression and the seasons when I struggle to be grateful, his love remains. I pray that I can still sing praises when my heart is broken. I pray that I can accept God's grace even when the terrors of life are all around me. I pray that I can sing about God's love, even when I don't feel loved by him.
this song has been incredibly important to me in my personal walk and my walk with others who i do worship with. i’m a worship singer myself and i really want to pursue ministry. i often forget the character of Gods love, i’ll look past it and only see the Righteous Judge He is, and think that He is only angry with me. this song always reminds me of how Jesus truly loves. yesterday was my 17th birthday and my first tattoo (my birthday gift) is going to be a tree bending beneath the words, “His wind and mercy”. thanks John💗
Thank you John Mark McMillan for having the courage to share your story and your gifts. This is an absolutely beautiful song that has touched lives and blessed many. As I watched this video I was reminded of this verse: "And here is my judgment about what is best for you in this matter. Last year you were the first not only to give but also to have the desire to do so. Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means. For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have. Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality, as it is written: “The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little."" 2 Cor. 8:10-15 I hope that the Lord speaks to you through this verse and I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless :)
I saw Jesus face to face while listening to your song. He moved towards me with his hand reaching to me. He was covered in golden light and all I could say was "the Face of Grace!" Your song is so prophetic. Telling of the testimony of Jesus Christ. That's exactly what I have been learning is really understanding God's love at a deep level. And that's exactly what he showed me. That He meets us in our mess. And HE IS FAITHFUL. I understand when you said after 7 years still recounting how much God loves you. I hope it continues to deepen brother. Thank you for writing this song!
My friends and I were at the Morning Star conference the morning we heard the news about his friend Steven.. It was heartbreaking! Won't ever forget that.
This song radically changed my life over a decade ago. It still moves my heart til this day when I hear it. Thank you John for your transparency and vulnerability in sharing your story through this incredible song.
Luke 15:20 KJV [20] And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart beats violently inside of my chest cuz I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us!
just love this song.... My Niece performed a correographed dance to this song at my Dads funeral. It was the most powerful funeral song I have ever heard/ seen. .... It fit..... When all is said..... All is done...... Its HowHeLoves that teally matters.....thats it....... Well done good and faithful servant John....... btw, my Dad's name was John.
This story really touched my heart. Thank you for sharing this story, I just love how our God work. This really made me look a much different way and see that our God is so good! Thank you again for sharing this!
We’ve live in a broken world. In heaven everything is perfect and there’s no death. Here on earth we deal with hurt and death alot. This was such a beautiful honest response to death. I can’t help but think of that verse “death where is your sting?”
Thank you for sharing your story sir. This song has lead my personal worship for years. We all go through storms in life God is with us throughout them all. I'm praying for you and your family. Yes I will continue to use this song to help usher me into praise and Worship. May God continue to keep you and your family and your GIFTS OF WORSHIP SONGS!!
awesome testimony.. he always turns all around for good.. ty so much for this my brother.. Happy Mother's day everyone 2014! ~_~ yep thats it.. that the right love! the best love!
I almost feel like David Crowder kind of ripped this off. I mean, I know they asked permission to do it. But I feel like he should be given more credit.
Deus tem ciúmes de nós, pois por mais que pessoas incríveis tornem-se nossos irmãos em Jesus Cristo, Ele nos ama e nos dará a convicção de que aqueles que nós amamos estão guardados Nele por Ele.

Essa canção marcou a minha vida por todo sempre ! Deus, obrigada.
This is so beautiful....
amazing story! why're they not famous? at first I though David Crowder Band wrote that song until i watched this.
I almost feel like David Crowder kind of ripped this off. I mean, I know they asked permission to do it. But I feel like he should be given more credit.
me too! That's what I thought! It's probably also because David Crowder Band is more popular among Christian bands

Congratulations!! Brother God bless you “Aviador Nocturno A.M.” 🎧😎✌️🐿The hands that help are holier than the lips that pray. 🌎🌍🌏🙏🎚📖So let’s start giving!!! As God has shown us by turning stones to bread 🍞...!!!🙏🎚🎧💡REFLEXIÓN 💡🌎
Who made that video? It´s awesome !
are you the same guy on Judge Joe t.v. show? "I'm a rock star." guy? that switched to Jesusrock .at least you got your guitbox back..
Not that I don't simpathize with you and your story, but I thought David Crowder wrote this song.
It was John Mark who wrote this first. David Crowded even has an interview on why he changed some of the lyrics that John Mark originally wrote.
