This is from Canticle of the Plains, a musical based on the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Composed by Rich Mullins, Mitch McVicker, and Beaker, the musical had a short run, but it lives on in the soundtrack, which features vocals from Michael Tait, Kevin Max Smith, and Leigh Bingham-Nash (note that these three did not perform in the actual musical).
@disposedsoul - without even checking, i knew exactly what you had to be talking about :) His voice is just indescribable (at least by me and my suddenly limited vocabulary)
I do, and I know that he IS Love! If enyone of you feel like it's hard to love some one, Pray to Jesus hwom is the source of Love and you will found it and understand it and have it, so that you can give it. But it comes from God thrught you, not from you!!
muscratlaura had it right. this is from Canticle of the Plains, a musical written by Rich Mullins, Beaker, and Mitch McVicker. Leigh Bingham Nash and the guys from DC Talk also had roles in the musical. The soundtrack is pretty rare (not sold itunes) but an actual recording of the musical would be priceless.
Kevin Max has never failed to amaze me in his artistic abilities...very few artists have the honesty that he puts in his work. Amazing song. I'd like to see him release it again.
Listen closely. Michael Tait's voice haunts the chorus. I'm almost positive he's doing background vocals. This was on dc Talk's rarest album, Left And Right.
I'm positive. It might have been a dc Talk song at one point that was ditched and Kevin used it himself. You can clearly hear Tait doing BGV's throughout the track.
With it pointed out, I can def hear Tait in the BGVs. I could actually imagine DC talk doing a pretty good job with this song, though personally I feel Kevin's rendition of it is already perfect.
@JesusFreak1john17 What information do you have on Left and Right? I've never heard of it, nor am I able to find any information on it. Was it a single where this song was a b-side, or a full length album?
@JesusFreak1john17 - really? I didn't know it was anywhere but Canticle of the Plains, i'll check it out! :). Michael is on that recording as well, if you haven't heard his "Oh My Lord"... oh that song makes me cry and just be so grateful to Jesus every time i hear it! Amazing singers and amazing writers for that musical - Rich Mullins, Beaker, and Mitch McVicker.
Oh my gosh!! This is from Canticle of the Plains, written in 1997!! I had no idea the beautiful voice was Kevin Max's!! This is one of my favorite songs from Canticle. It's my favorite work of Kevin's!! What a treasure!!!
Dc talk should do a reunion album
