I love how it says "You are my past"...it doesn't matter whether you became a Christian yesterday or 20 years ago, God is still your past. When you give your life to Christ his blood covers your past and when you look back all you can see is Him. Your past doesn't matter to God, he has taken it and washed you clean. There is nothing more powerful than the blood of Christ.
In response to William and Dean: I got the chance to be in the video. Doesn't matter who I am. And yes at first it did seem weird that it was 'staged.' But the longer we sang the more we were just brothers and sisters worshiping. This was not 'staged'-it was genuine. We were encouraged to worship and not stand there and look posed. What you see here was us loving on Jesus. You can believe it or not. Up to you. All I know-it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had. We started out as strangers (there were maybe 6 people in the whole room that I knew and the rest were from other area churches) and ended up bonded.
+Joan Gaston I hope you did not misunderstand my comment, if you did, please read it again, I am a Christian, this video moved me tremendously. What I may have failed to say is that, despite the video production and all that it entails, the message got through to me and was very needed in my life. I actually believe that a certain extent of our worship should be displayed as a witness and testimony. Do you understand though that some people film church events for personal promotion? I should have been clearer in my comment that though that happens, I do not think at all that THIS video is in any form a depiction of that, THAT was in response to the first guy. I actually wish I could have been there with you all.Thank you for sharing, and if you happened to be referring to another Dean, haha, sorry, but thanks nonetheless.
nonreligious people make the best believers in Christ. More real love for God and people, less weird "lookatmeimdoingitright" crap. I used to be a hardcore Atheist. Just sayin'.
Geandreze Lima James said true religion is this: feeding the hungry, taking care of widows and orphans. It is not "No Religion!" it is religion redeemed, made new by Christ. The Personhood of Christ IS true religion, a fully alive Person that rescues what is lost, not some mere doctrine, but a Person.
***** well I hope it is not merely "our" religion. There is something about the communal quality of the Church that isn't merely 'our' church, but belongs to someOne else. It is also a living community that stretches back 2,000 years. When we come to the Lord's table, Christ sits on one side, we sit on the other. When we sit on one side, all the saints who have gone before us sit on the other side.
You hold the reins on the sun and the moon Like horses driven by kings You cover the mountains, the valleys below With the breadth of Your mighty wings All treasures of wisdom and things to be known Are hidden inside Your hand And in this fortunate turn of events You ask me to be Your friend You ask me to be Your friend And You, You are my first You are my last You are my future and my past [x2]
It warms me up inside to see all my Christian brothers and sisters responding to this song, understanding its internal meaning and worshipping our God!
What's name on earth that when men hear they ask HOW. The truth son or God Where else do I want to be. The provider of all things above -within and below. I will always love, serve and make YOU known.
Every time I listen to this song I thank God for letting me find such great worship music like this. I do love when young people get together to worship our Father like here, with all their hearts. beautiful.
Same fore me. It's something very genuine about it. Genuine is a tricky word, but I feel like he's being honest with his doubts and fears. Which makes it feel very vulnerable and... genuine
This is my favourite Christian worship song. I heard it again live tonight and all the memories came flooding back from when i first heard it. So so on fire for God. :)
american culture is beloved across the globe not because of hollywood but because american culture was born deep into God's Kingdon and after all those centuries all you produce reflects the source material
i love the end where the band members themselves clap for the glory of God. THIS is something we rarely see with Christian artists nowadays, THIS is what separates them from bands and establishes them as TRUE WORSHIP leaders. Glory to God, FOREVER.
PRAISE GOD HE IS WORTHY, WE HAVE A FRIEND IN JESUS THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE . PRAISE HIM . GOD IS SO GOOD SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE SEEKING HIM ITS BEYOND WORDS .
You are my first // You are my last // You are my future and my past grasping the beauty of this... when we say, He is our first and last // we're saying we are in Him our decisions are revolving around Him when we say, He is our future and past // nothing has happened that was not in Him // everything we've done or will do, is in Him -for Him
Dublin show was great last Wednesday night . There is a well fitted John Mark McMillan Tee shirt walking around Waterford this summer ☺ Brian Houston was superb also. 👍👍
Future/ Past John Mark McMillan You hold the reigns on the sun and the moon Like horses driven by kings You cover the mountains, the valleys below With the breadth of your mighty wings All treasures of wisdom And things to be known Are hidden inside your hand And in this fortunate turn of events You ask me to be your friend Ask me to be your friend And you, You are my first You are my last You are my future and my past The constellations are swimming inside The breadth of your desire So where could I run, where could I hide From your heart’s jealous fire All treasures of wisdom And things to be known Are hidden inside your hand And in this fortunate turn of events You ask me to be your friend Ask me to be your friend And you, You are my first You are my last You are my future and my past You are the beginning and the end
As someone with strong Celtic heritage I just love how Mark brings my culture alive through his worship songs. This one and King of My Heart resonate with me deeply. Every tribe and tongue.
Listening this amazing song over and over! I love your lyrics, they're really true in every single word. I can feel the glory of Love of God. God bless you even more in your journey.
Thanks, Star. Bethel is pretty wonderful. The Johnsons, Vallottons, Silks, are all Friends and former Pastors when we were all in Weaverville. Many Blessings!
after 9 years we all can agree that this production is timeless. just like God's Kingdom
Here in 2024... This song is eternal. Awesome stuff
Here in 2050 we call it a “ forever classical” 😂
Im from Belgium and mannnnn this song is just incredible, so powerful
I love when they all song that melody together. Praise the Kingdom!
I love how it says "You are my past"...it doesn't matter whether you became a Christian yesterday or 20 years ago, God is still your past.

Amen
AMEN!
Aaaaaaamen 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏
Well said!
So good
Roto toms. John Mark McMillan is the first to make roto toms cool since Phil Collins. And he sang to our creator in the process.

Joan, that was really cool, I could feel the love.

One of the most memorable nights of music I've ever shared with people.
In this fortunate turn of events you called me your friend❤
God asked me to be his friend !! ❤
I'm not religious, but this is beautiful!

No Religion! This is JESUS CHRIST!!!

You cover the mountains, the valleys below
With the breadth of Your mighty wings
All treasures of wisdom and things to be known
Are hidden inside Your hand
And in this fortunate turn of events
You ask me to be Your friend
You ask me to be Your friend
And You,
You are my first
You are my last
You are my future and my past
[x2]
Você é o meu primeiro
Você é o meu último
Tu és o meu futuro e meu passado Jesus!!
Adoração profunda. Te amo, te amo, te amo meu Amado Senhor.
Brazil.
amazinggggg, the best christian music in the world
It warms me up inside to see all my Christian brothers and sisters responding to this song, understanding its internal meaning and worshipping our God!
Examine your thoughts, and you will find them wholly occupied with the past or the future
We sang this today at church. A mass choir of youth and young adults. It is a very beautiful song.
What's name on earth that when men hear they ask HOW. The truth son or God Where else do I want to be. The provider of all things above -within and below.
I will always love, serve and make YOU known.
Every time I listen to this song I thank God for letting me find such great worship music like this. I do love when young people get together to worship our Father like here, with all their hearts. beautiful.
I think this guy has become my favorite worship artist!
Same fore me. It's something very genuine about it.
Genuine is a tricky word, but I feel like he's being honest with his doubts and fears. Which makes it feel very vulnerable and... genuine
Yeah...he also collaged with Josh Garrels...you should check him out
I would recommend, Josh Garrels: The resistance
This is my favourite Christian worship song. I heard it again live tonight and all the memories came flooding back from when i first heard it. So so on fire for God. :)
makes me want to have a big worship night like this.
american culture is beloved across the globe not because of hollywood but because american culture was born deep into God's Kingdon and after all those centuries all you produce reflects the source material
Beautiful!
Wow. All I can feel is love for my savior when I hear this. Im homesick for Heaven!
This video captures the true heart of worship. It is a corporate thing. Everyone contributes to the whole. It's beautiful and stirring.
Fantastic. No doubt churches across the world will be singing this in a couple of years. I can't stop singing it now.
5:15...I already loved the song but man that harmony stopped me dead in my tracks....holy mercy..
We harmonize every chorus like that all the way through the song when we sing it at our church. So beautiful. I love it like that.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
i love the end where the band members themselves clap for the glory of God. THIS is something we rarely see with Christian artists nowadays, THIS is what separates them from bands and establishes them as TRUE WORSHIP leaders. Glory to God, FOREVER.
Loved it!!! Amen
Our whole life belongs to you, Jesus !
PRAISE GOD HE IS WORTHY, WE HAVE A FRIEND IN JESUS THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE . PRAISE HIM . GOD IS SO GOOD SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE SEEKING HIM ITS BEYOND WORDS .
his beard has a mic
YESSSSSSSS. LOL
She's got amazing jokes, ladies and germs! LMBO!
this made laugh out loud. thanks
This song has so much power it must scare every demon away just playing it
It isn't a competition, but obviously this comment wins.
You are my first // You are my last // You are my future and my past
grasping the beauty of this...
when we say, He is our first and last // we're saying we are in Him
our decisions are revolving around Him
when we say, He is our future and past // nothing has happened that was not in Him // everything we've done or will do, is in Him -for Him
One of the most beautiful worship songs, I was so lucky so see and hear this live.
This is important to hear with your heart not only your ears. This is pure.
"This is a little bit of the way heaven will be; pure worship".
Man the way you sing to our father is just amazing as well as your voice!
God you’re amazing. With tears in my eyes, I sit in awe of how you have loved me from the very beginning and never have given up on me.
Every time I look back, Christian folks are looking more soulful, alive, and, dare I say, quite hip! :-)
Waanzinnig mooi nummer. God is mijn eerste en laatste verlangen.
Can I just sit here in this moment? Why can't we put this on repeat?!?
I love this song and I love God. How would this world be without The Lord Almighty
You asked me to be Your friend
So perfect it hurts.
I couldn't have said it better myself. :)
God is everything 🙏
God is doing great things!
My school played this song at our confirmation retreat last weekend and I am seriously OBSSESSED with it
God is Good and Wonderful,that beautiful Song..
How cool and 80's are those drums? I've got to get me some Roto-Toms!!
Wow, I´m from Honduras but your ministries its now around the world, cause the power of God and His grace its with you... Blessing
Eu aqui em 2016 you are my future and my past 💙
During this uncertain time, this song is a reminder that our God is in control, future and past the beginning and the END!!❤
Roto toms....VERY good move, guys. Ballin' track. God is good.
Joey Keener I think we have some at church, I gotta dig them up
best gospel song ever
Quanta alegria e animação para adorar a esse Deus Maravilhoso ao qual servimos! Amei ver todos se entregando a Ele e louvando em uma só voz
Piano...deconstructed. 😊
I'm God's friend. How good are you God. How worthy. How holy.
Dublin show was great last Wednesday night . There is a well fitted John Mark McMillan Tee shirt walking around Waterford this summer ☺
Brian Houston was superb also. 👍👍
Ive never given much thought to roto toms until this song.
+Justin Tackett Thanks for naming it! =D
Al is a genius on the other kit, too...
Inspired and anointed song Mark 🙏
É dar o play e desabar no choro.
Eu te amo Senhor. ❤
Beautiful number, God is my first and mine last.
Such wise words. Wonderful.
Awesome & so true!!
Future/ Past
John Mark McMillan
You hold the reigns on the sun and the moon
Like horses driven by kings
You cover the mountains, the valleys below
With the breadth of your mighty wings
All treasures of wisdom
And things to be known
Are hidden inside your hand
And in this fortunate turn of events
You ask me to be your friend
Ask me to be your friend
And you,
You are my first
You are my last
You are my future and my past
The constellations are swimming inside
The breadth of your desire
So where could I run, where could I hide
From your heart’s jealous fire
All treasures of wisdom
And things to be known
Are hidden inside your hand
And in this fortunate turn of events
You ask me to be your friend
Ask me to be your friend
And you,
You are my first
You are my last
You are my future and my past
You are the beginning and the end
Thank God for the cross. The fortunate turn of events!!! : )))
The presence of God in this worship song is remarkable! It fills our being just listen!
God bless you!
words are powerful.. God is GOOD
What a blast we will have with all the gifts, voices, and talents together up there!!
Como Deus fala comigo através dos seus louvores!!
what a beautiful and a wonderful song ! this is what worship in church should be like on sunday morning !
As someone with strong Celtic heritage I just love how Mark brings my culture alive through his worship songs. This one and King of My Heart resonate with me deeply. Every tribe and tongue.
This song is cathartic. My heart has been broken to pieces by people. This reminds me of who my true love is, and He is my future and my past.
Amen brother and sisters, thanks.
makes me cry every time. those drums are so incredible and the harmonies on my goodness. especially on the word “future”
Seriously going to be one of 2014's worship anthems. I love it.

Goodbumps and tears...shouldn't have watched it at work :)
I'm from Brazil and i have to say: this song is incredible! Very good vibrations! God bless you guys!
Man, solid performance! I'm impressed by the filmography also. I didn't see a single camera in the whole video.
Oh, isso é tão vintage que me sinto transportada para outra era.
So cool to see Matt podesla playing guitar for john
This version should be on streaming
2:40 I don't know why but I want to give a hug to this smiling girl XD

It's a 'fall on my face' but I want to dance and cry all at the same time kind of worship song!! 😆
My all time new favorite song from John Mark McMillan
The angels sing in this video.
Esse louvor me tocou antes mesmo de eu saber a tradução. JESUS maravilhoso. S2
Roto Tom's sound so beautiful in this song never heard it like this before Glory to God❤
this melody marked me nearly 10 years ago when i first heard it…and now onto forever!! Jesus, my future and my past.
I wish so badly that I was at that event!
EPIC
Gente que fofo, eu estou a cada dia mais apaixonada por esse Deus lindo que tudo fez, tudo é.
Those Roto's sound beautiful. I have never been a fan of two drummers, but it works so nicely here.
