I love it when Christians are truly creative and experimental. Not saying others are bad! Every art is appreciated but God is a creative God and he gave us so many possibilities to explore that we shouldn't contain in just one music genre! God bless you guys. Love the visuals too!!
right. This puts an axe at the root of so much turned out generic Christian music. I'm always hearing. not to name names, no, but I can say this song was refreshing.
After all the striving All the forcing All the anger All the rage After the collapse Surrounded Enveloped Love that will not let me go Was it always there?
I heard this song one time and I was broken on my knees before the Lord. no song has done that to me in many many years. i'm not trying to be rude but that comment really was alien to me.
I get misty-eyed when I listen to this song too!! It's comforting. It grounds me. Well, most of your songs do John - thank you. Thank you for the love you pour out into your music. It speaks to my heart in a special way.
David and Melissa's walk has certainly been between the thunder and the lightning, making them alongside JMM and Sarah uniquely qualified to offer up this beautiful melody. We thank you four; and for us it is a masterpiece.
I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the Horses the new strength of fear for the last mile so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you. - CS Lewis, The Horse and His Boy
Yes definitely 2 of my favs! Love it when they tour together! Talk about an awesome concert! Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it! Josh Garrels also collaborated with a song on a Shawn McDonald CD. Also another very good artist!
Stephanie Clute That's so crazy. I've only seen Josh Garrels in concert and he's been one of my favs for some time. John is newer to me but so far his songs are amazing. I will have to look up the other collaboration you mentioned! 😊
You never fail to be my inspiration as someone that chases God through music. You have an incredible gift my friend. And I thank you for sharing it with us!
Beautiful video! I was overwhelmed by the expression and the thought of "you always find me in between the thunder and lighting". Thank you. Bless you brother. PS. Hi JM, this is Johan I met you at living hope church , Brea CA. I assume you remember me because how many people tell you I named my son after you. Ha ha....
wow bro , your songs have so much power and u pour your heart into them , u are so inspiring , this week i have been listening to lots of your songs in the run up to the Glasgow show with martin and Ellie , oh man i cannot wait , you are an amazing songwriter and an inspiration thank you for your gift bro !
Philippe Doucet lightning is a symbol on the album for the things we chase that aren't God (money, status, etc.) Even in this searching God is with us and longs to meet us. It also is a reference to the lights and production element of what he does. This concept parallels when God appears to Elijah not in the earthquake, the wind, or the fire, but in the whisper.
I imagine somebody out on a long walk trying to pray and seeking answers from God, in the rain, and there’s thunder and lightning around them but they aren’t afraid and they keep praying and seeking God. I had that happen to me one time. I guess it could mean a bunch of other things too depending on the person who hears it. something to do with God speaking to us when everything just seems intense on either side. Good question of you to ask though versus just taking it for granted.
I guess you could argue that after the thunder is silence, and you don't know where the next bolt of lightning is coming. In the silence, when we don't know what God is saying. 'what for all the miles have you to say, where you there beside me this whole way? You always find me in between the thunder and the lightning'
This recent stuff is really giving me Bon Iver vibes. Although it still has plenty of his own style so that it comes off as an influence rather than any copying
This is a beautiful song, but where's the still small voice lyrics video? My small house church group relies on lyrics videos for worship. This has so much awful contrast and flashing that it's basically useless.
😭 You're the best John!
Hi Isra
A pura verdade está nesta musica!!
pra mim vc que é "o melhor" Isra! Sério! Não faz ideia o quanto Deus te usou na minha vida(não só com as canções) kkk. Deus abençoe!
You two are the best! Haha
Yes he is 🙏

right. This puts an axe at the root of so much turned out generic Christian music. I'm always hearing. not to name names, no, but I can say this song was refreshing.
this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I broke into tears halfway through and I know this tune must be a ladder to the presence of God.
After all the striving
All the forcing
All the anger
All the rage
After the collapse
Surrounded
Enveloped
Love that will not let me go
Was it always there?
This song is like fine wine. You've got to listen to it more than once to acquire an appreciation for its taste.
I heard this song one time and I was broken on my knees before the Lord. no song has done that to me in many many years. i'm not trying to be rude but that comment really was alien to me.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart .
~Jeremiah 29:13
This is not the usual music i listen to but this song is really… wow. Beautiful!! The lyrics and instruments were perfect! Glory to JESUS!!
I get misty-eyed when I listen to this song too!! It's comforting. It grounds me. Well, most of your songs do John - thank you. Thank you for the love you pour out into your music. It speaks to my heart in a special way.
“In between the thunder and the lighting” is the calm part of the storm. Jesus meets us in the storm and brings peace to the storm. So beautiful.
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.
I come back to this song over and over again, it hits fresh every time.
I love when christians start to differentiate even slightly in the music they play, amazing John!
THIS MUSIC VIDEO THOUGH. 10/10
David and Melissa's walk has certainly been between the thunder and the lightning, making them alongside JMM and Sarah uniquely qualified to offer up this beautiful melody. We thank you four; and for us it is a masterpiece.
Beautiful example of prevenient grace in that God pursues us. Thank you for blessing us, John Mark!
Beautiful!!! I did not want that song to end.
I really like the "Is my phone broken aestethic" 🤔

Absolutely in Love with this song that it tears me up
Wow thank you God!
I stand amazed at the creativity God has put in you John🙊. Well done on being brave and courageous with the creativity God has given you🙌🏽 WOW!
Gosh. This just keeps getting better with each listen. The supporting vocals towards the end are heavenly.
Beautiful! Thank you, John.
Gorgeous! Can't wait to hear Magic Mirror with Josh Garrels!
Stephanie Clute WHAT?! There's a song with Josh Garrels??!! Yesss 😀❤😍 Perfect!
I'm really excited for it too!
Two of my favorites singers together ♥
Yes definitely 2 of my favs! Love it when they tour together! Talk about an awesome concert! Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it! Josh Garrels also collaborated with a song on a Shawn McDonald CD. Also another very good artist!

I also love Jonathan David and Melissa Helser which is why I clicked on this video. Another one of my favs. I do not regret the click lol. Love!
You never fail to be my inspiration as someone that chases God through music. You have an incredible gift my friend. And I thank you for sharing it with us!
Their harmonies with you at the end are amazing to say the least.
Mercury and Lightning feels like your Magnum Opus... and the revistations of the records are just as great, this one might be my favorite though!
Beautiful video! I was overwhelmed by the expression and the thought of "you always find me in between the thunder and lighting". Thank you. Bless you brother.
PS.
Hi JM, this is Johan I met you at living hope church , Brea CA. I assume you remember me because how many people tell you I named my son after you. Ha ha....

What does it means: you always find me in between the thunder and the lightning? What does the thunder and the lightning represent?
Philippe Doucet lightning is a symbol on the album for the things we chase that aren't God (money, status, etc.) Even in this searching God is with us and longs to meet us.

Thunder and lightning surrounding the throne bro! It’s biblical.
I imagine somebody out on a long walk trying to pray and seeking answers from God, in the rain, and there’s thunder and lightning around them but they aren’t afraid and they keep praying and seeking God. I had that happen to me one time.

@@nathanwarnesmusic I actually really like this! Well said
♥️♥️♥️♥️

This recent stuff is really giving me Bon Iver vibes. Although it still has plenty of his own style so that it comes off as an influence rather than any copying
You always find me... (ad infinitum)
what does it mean to be between the thunder and the lightning?

Please don't sell out to Satan Jhon. You truly are gifted from above . God bless you .
This is a beautiful song, but where's the still small voice lyrics video? My small house church group relies on lyrics videos for worship. This has so much awful contrast and flashing that it's basically useless.
Guitar Chords?!
Bon Iver fan?
