  • Great job! Do you know any Bag pipers? I have always wanted to hear a combined sound of pipes guitar and hymns.... Keep it up you sound like you have prayed a lot about the arrangements.

  • @gumpandjennay hey gumpandjennay: i hadn't thought of pipes on this one but hey maybe! i know some here in NYC. maybe for the next record. thanks for the suggestion!

  • he isn't playing the original/correct chords right? 

  • @ericdxx ...hi eric, there is an 'original' melody (which i've rearranged) and the chords aren't direct from the hymnal. but the hymnal arrangement is also only an interpretation of the melody.

  • good lighting, this is well done

  • Also just heard you play at Lincoln Square building. Very awesome thanks

  • Just heard you play this live at Lincoln Square... Soul-shaking. Let me know when I can have the privilege to pay for a download.

  • good job brother

  • That's the Way

  • I wanna buy his CD,how do I get it?

  • I heard Glenn Beck mention this as one of his favorite hymns. Since I had never heard it, I came to YouTube to find it. Yours was the first version to show. Excellent.

  • Awsome job my friend, you have moved me.

  • @jjones2316 Doesn't It, Though?

  • Absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing. I would love to hear more music from you and please put them on iTunes so we can purchase them!

  • this guy broke my nose in hong kong !!!

  • I am not Mormon, but this version of the song is one of the best I heard.

  • Beautiful. Brought me comfort in a time of great sorrow. Thank you.

  • @paseli6 God Watch Over You and Yours

  • Do you make recordings? You should!!!!

  • I went to high school with him. He was a year older. He was always a brilliant musician, I never liked him much and vice versa in school and he and I were not friends, but I was always the first seated during our HKIS talent shows to listen to him. He has improved and grown as a musician so much ! I remember his brother was always regarded as the star musician, but I think Mark grew to be a true musician. Simply amazing ! Mark, this was really really beautiful.

  • Yo, Bro: I'm wanting to hear you play Leonard Cohen's Suzanne. I'd count it as a favor, I'd count it as a gift.

  • He sings without encumberment of the thought process. That's How....

  • All is well. Yes it is. All is well.

    Thank you Michael...relieablebow for the affirmation.  A beautiful reminder.

    NAncy

  • Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear;

    But with joy wend your way.

    Though hard to you this journey may appear,

    Grace shall be as your day.

    'Tis better far for us to strive

    Our useless cares from us to drive;

    Do this, and joy your hearts will swell—

    All is well! All is well!

  • Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?

    'Tis not so; all is right.

    Why should we think to earn a great reward

    If we now shun the fight?

    Gird up your loins; fresh courage take.

    Our God will never us forsake;

    And soon we'll have this tale to tell—

    All is well! All is well!

  • This was... Brilliant. Does this guy have an album out? I will buy it just for this song. He's amazing.

  • His name is Mark Abernathy and he will soon. I'm just as impressed...and i've known him since he was a child!!!

  • Haha, I've come back at least 10 times to watch this, and have attached it to most of my outgoing messages on Youtube!

  • I love your style. Are you the same one who performed Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy? Sound s very different, but I loved both. Thank you for sharing.

  • I am a direct descendant of William Clayton, he is my great-great-great grandfather. He was a good violin player and I love reading his journal that he left us, not to mention being able to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing a song so close to my heart, every time I hear the song sung I get goose bumps, I can feel my ancestors. Thank you for posting this wonderful clip.

  • this is awsome.

    plus you have a killer 'stache :)

  • Wow....I want to hear more from you. You have such a beautiful and pure voice. Such an amazing recording. Do you have more? I want to hear them ALL!!!!!!!

  • Thank you! This is so beautiful aranged this way. I know the saints sang this a lot on that long journey and you play it as I think they might have. Who knew you could serve a mission on youtube with your music!

  • a different, but sweet amd powerful arrangement of a beloved LDS hymn, an excellent voice makes this arrangement unique and special.

  • Thank you for sharing this song which admonishes and encourages us saints of God. You minister with great passion, and the love of Jesus Christ and His annointing...I am blessed. Keep up the good work.
