UNVEILED HOPE MICHAEL CARD PROFESSIONAL
Musician Michael Card never intended to be a professional musician. His studies in physics and astronomy allowed him to support himself while a student by working for six years at a planetarium. Card received Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Religious Studies from Western Kentucky University. He lives with his wife, Susan, and their four children in Franklin, Tenn.
Since his debut in 1981, he has sold more than four million albums and has written 19 number one singles. Michael Card, born Apin Madison, Tenn., is a Contemporary Christian music (CCM) artist who couples folk-style melodies and instrumentation with lyrics that stem from intensive study of the Bible. Best of all, Michael Card's music encourages the listener to worship the human baby bearing undiminished deity of his parting message and our proud proclamation: The Promise celebrates the only thing really and truly worth celebrating, with music that is grand, accessible, and aimed at glorifying God. "We have found Him! We have seen the light!" The last of the four witness testimonies is "We Will Find Him," which serves both as the Wise Men's travelogue and our response to God's saving grace. Actually, it is just one of the highlights worth repeating among a total of three culled from that earlier project. "Joseph's Song" is the same sweet song Michael Card wrote as part of his collection "The Life," which chronicled Jesus' birth, ministry, death, and glorification. Mary's song, "What Her Heart Remembered," lifts up Jesus as both mundanely human and transcendentally divine, in what has become one of Michael Card's trademark song themes.
Thematically, this concert celebrates Jesus coming as the fulfillment of long hoped for Biblical prophecy as God's gentle lamb, and as the title track states succinctly,įour of these celebrations take the form of witness testimonies provided by Mary the Mother of God, her husband Joseph, and those rustic shepherds surprised on the hill by a host of dazzling angels. Card's gift of combining sound theology, simple sing-along lyrics, a worshipful attitude, and music is evident listening to "The Promise." Every song is an original piece and not one of them slips into the more sappy trimmings of the season because they are all squarely focused on the Christ Child, Jesus, said officials.
