I was 15 when my youth pastor handed me a burned CD. "Satellite Sky". I thought that this is what Heaven sounded like. One day I will be there, and Mark will greet me with a mandolin and a melodic tune.

Mark Heard.... this man was a legend and still is and this beautiful song moves me to tears every time i hear it, a beautifully lyriced song and lovely tune.

this song makes me think about Mark's poor family who lost him far to soon, but he is singing praises in heaven so who can begrudge him that. i just wish he could of been round longer.

im 22 and absolutely adore his music.

Love you Mark xx

One of a kind. Nice to see video of the Hank Sr. shirt, love that. Rest in peace, Mark. (I wonder how his family's holding up these days...)

A true Christian humanitarian, is this possible? only the good die young, I miss your insight but not your legacy St Mark.

I first was introduced to Mark Heard through the Lightmusic Christian video show,sadly it was posthumously.Mark is one of the most brilliant songwriters and had such a great command of the English language.This song and video are simply superb.I would have loved to have met him and to have attended one of his concerts.Hopefully in the afterlife....

All of Mark Heard's songs are amazing, and this is one of the most amazing.

Brilliant song

I have been thinking about this song since Jordan Rice passed away after telling the rescuers to "take me brother first".  The saints of God are the treasure of the broken land and I believe Jordan had to have been such. I hope John and his surviving sons can wait for that day when they will be reunited with God.
