Vol 5, Part 7: "Hold My Heart" Demo

Here is an early piano/vocal demo of "Hold My Heart" that Mike recorded prior to the version you have all come to know on Over and Underneath. Jordyn, in the A&R department at Provident, says this was one of the demos that let them know Tenth Avenue North could write really special songs. Enjoy!

    This song is absolutely amazing! of all the versions I have heard of this song, this demo version is the best. When I saw you guys in concert a couple weeks ago, I was blown away! I hope you guys come to Charlotte, NC on your next tour. It would be awesome if you could. I was wondering, like others, if this version of the song would ever be available for download/purchase that would be great!! your music is amazing! Keep using all of your guy's gifts for the Lord!!!

    I love you every song ya'll put out!!! This is definately the one that God used to show me that He is always there, no matter what cards life may deal to me. I was recently at one of your concerts, and rededicated my life to Christ. I'm just asking for everyone to keep me in your prayers, and for the band to keep putting out amazing songs like this one!!

    You were powerful at Winter Jam, Cleveland, Jan 29, 2010. That was some of the most awesome heartfelt worship we've ever seen. You didn't get enough play time. We got some awesome pictures and memories though. Looking forward to next time y'all are through the area. God Bless all of you and your families.

    Man Mike, God is just speaking out through you. I know you can feel that, how could you not. God meets us where we are and will do anything to hold our hearts, we just have to let him. Just like Mike, he is crying out to be heard. How can we deny him?

    As this is the 3rd time I've commented on this, I just wanted to let you guys know that today I was laying on the floor in my PJ's crying and crying out to my God for comfort and then this song came on my IPod. I started singing out loud even though I sound awful right now thanks to my Strep Throat. And every time I hear it, it brings me to my knees. Thanks for writing great songs. And please make this available for download! Love, -Emily Rose (Gaffney, SC)

    Wow That is so beautiful. For some reason it seems like the piano version and the one on Over and Underneeth are like 2 completely different songs. But this is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard!! Beautiful! Keep glorifying the Lord!!!

    January 22nd, 6:00 pm

    This is an amazing version that is as good or better than the original (or wait--is THIS the original?!) You guys should really release this as a single on ITunes!!! I'd be the first to buy it! In short, LOVE IT!!!! Love you guys and I cannot WAIT to see you all live at WinterJam in Greenville, SC! Love you all again!!! -Emily (From Gaffney, SC)

    Absolutely beautiful. The anointing on your life is so evident in your music. It blesses me beyond belief. I pray for an overflow of blessings on you and the band in all your endeavors. May God to guide each of you in your walk with Christ. I can't wait for the next album. Prayerfully, I'll get to see you at the Winter Jam in Birmingham or the Until the Whole World Hears tour in Fayetteville. If not....I'll continue to support the band no matter what.

    That was so beautiful Mike, if I were Jordyn, I would have known too! You were born to glorify the Lord, in so many ways. I'm so grateful to have found you and your band. Thank you for "participating" in my journey with Jesus. Pardon my selfishness; however, I miss your "scriptures" that you write about your songs. I think you still have the last one, Hallelujah, maybe I'm wrong, gotta check the site more closely. We’re hoping to come to Winter Jam in Reading. I hope and pray that someday you will come to Bucks County, PA, or even Philly. Take care, God Bless, Laurie

    My wife & I went to Winter Jam in Tampa on the Saturday January 16th. It was a wonderful event with over 13,000 in the St. Pete Times Forum. We were looking forward to you playing and it was such a wonderful experience. I wish we would of made it over to your table afterwards. You guys play really well and we love listening to you on The Joy FM. Keep it up and keep bringing people to Christ.

    Guys - My daughter saw you at Jamfest and got the album. We've heard many songs on the FISH. She popped it in the Cd player and I heard her sing praises to God all the way to her public high school...THANKs. Keep digging deeply into God's Word and memorize it. He has given you a passion for more than just music and people are listening to what God is doing in your hearts and through your lives. I'm praying this morning that God would grant you a lifetime with a "satisfied heart."
