    Hi guys, I was just watching the history of Tenth Avenue North and I came across your other songs in youtube...and I think it's from your album "Don't look back". Is there any possibility that I can get a hold of that? The songs are awesome!!! But of course, I like the two new ones. I've got the OVER AND UNDERNEATH, but I haven't got THE LIGHT MEETS THE DARK. I let my Japanese friend listen to "Love is Here"...oh how she loved it. =] Praying she'll come to encounter and have an understanding of God's love for her through that song. =D

    your song: "TIMES"-- it feels like a angel came and told you to write a song of what was needed EXACTLY for me to hear- a song for Lori Mercer, for my heart and mind. For years - many, many years, almost my whole life I have loved God, but thought He has been so angry at me, so disapointed for all the horrible things I have done, and in turn I had been so angry at Him. I felt like a child stuck in the 'time-out' chair of life- always questioning, broken, living in pain, fallen from Grace. Always confused- shamed.. EXACTLY your lyrics. I have never cried so many tears over a song.. but it wasn't just a song.. it was God speaking to me.. telling me He has alwaysed loved me regardless of the mess I have made of my life. Sure, there has been other songs with a similar message, but somehow, these lyrics in your song reached into the depths of my soul and spoke exactly how I felt.. as if I wasn't the only one who would of felt that way, surely someone else felt that way- or else there wouldn't be a song about it. SO, then the rest must be true...about HIS LOVE - OVER, UNDERNEATH, INSIDE and IN BETWEEN.. always... so I got off my self-inflicted 'time-out' chair and came home- to his faithful love, abundant LOVE. This has been a 30+ year journey.. with many scars and a lot of mending. But I wanted to share with you- if this was the only song you ever did, you made a differnce in MY life- and that alone SAVED my life, it helped bring me back to my Savior. May God Bless you and your family. Thank you ?

    Hey guys!!!! Im a huge fan and I know every word to all 22 of your songs!! Have you guys ever heard of the Angels Baseball team? They were very close to winning the championships this year along with the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Well, every summer, we get a huge get together in the Angel Stadium in Anaheim, called the Harvest Crusade. So many people are saved and we have had many Christian artists such as Mercy Me, Steven Curtis Chapman, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Sanctus Real and much much more. I think it would be amazing if you guys performed there! We are spreading the Harvest Crusade in places such as New Zaeland, and Seattle. Every year there is a great message by Greg Laurie. It's a three day event. Please please please PLEASE look into it so you could possibly perform at the next one in the summer of 2011!!!!! Lots of Love, Kaila(:

    You guys, I mean, just wow. Tenth Avenue North has inspired me so much, and I don't know how I could EVER thank you enough for doing that, not only in my life, but in so many other's lives as well. I hope that some day I will be able to inspire others with my music just as you have. Once again, thank you so, so much for everything you guys do, because I know it can't always be easy, but you guys set an amazing example and show the world what talent God gave you. I love you guys!

    I'm a big music man, I play all types of music. When I have some friends that want to play some good songs, the first thing I tell them is Tenth Avenue North. Your guys' music lyrics are deep down, all while expressing emotion through the music. Keep making music, and people will keep listening.

    Tenth Avenue North, you have been my favorite band for this whole year, my first year of truly being saved- of truly stepping out of my comfort zone to make a difference. You inspired me, motivated me, held me closer to God; and now I am more then happy to have a new CD that I can experience and realize even more views on God I have never thought of before. Thankyou so much for coming out with this and therefore changing part of my life :)

    Wow! This cd is a work of God. Not only is it great music but you can't help but fall to your face in the presence of God because of it. I have and I am still being convicted because of this album. It does feel like the skin is being taken off of me, taken from your video, but God is changing me, which I am so thankful for! Thank you for this album, it was time for change and I am not sure that without it i would have changed.

    I have listened to your new CD at LEAST 10-15 times since it came out! I discovered you at Winter Jam in St. Charles, Mo this past winter. Out of all the incredible bands, music and messages, yours was the one that touched my heart the most. I fell in love with your passion, your hearts and the message your songs conveyed to me. So many things resonate in me with your songs.. esp. Beloved. When I really listened to it the first time, I cried and went to the floor in gratitude for Jesus' love for me. For better or worse (I'll say worse) He loves me. It doesn't make sense, I don't know why He'd want to do it, I think He's crazy, but I still know He loves me! I love my husband very much and I put alot of my dreams, burdens of happiness on his shoulders, but now I see that he isn't meant to make me happy or fill me up. Jesus is. I also like the song Any Other Way because I have always felt that people were wrong when they said we can't give anything to God and He doesn't need anything from us. I KNOW that He needs my pain, my sin, my despair and darkness. It's all I have to give to Him and I know He wants it-It's a gift of myself to Him as strange as that may sound! Anyway, God Bless you all and I will be praying for your ministry and for protection as you do God's work. Deelena B

    Guys, in response to my first comment last week, please forgive me for not being able to decipher your autographs – as my eyes are going bad – I’m getting old dudes (well, not tooooo old)…I get them now. And Mike, if I read your scripture correct (Psalm 40), that’s one of my favorites and I’ve actually got it posted at my desk. “Your Are More” was written about me, a while back, as I’ve come so far. The words to this song, as well as the others, are outstanding, fabulous, awesome, excellent. I love you guys, and thank you, again, for all you do. God bless, Laurie S. FYI - don't forget the LOST weekend next weekend... Also, Victoria-1st - I'll pray for you honey. Please, please, pick up a bible or seek guidance from a pastor, ANY pastor. You are not alone, we are all here to help you - tell that monster "there's no vacancy here dude". God bless you sista-friend. Laurie S.

    The song "Healing Begins" is currently on repeat in my ipod. It's life changing. I was trying to inspire a group of people I know from a previous inpatient treatment center. I desperately want to focus on the positive aspects of life. I had a hard day Monday and heard the song Tuesday. "Healing Begins" has shaped my story and guided me along the path to recovery again. The song reached my life even before it was released. Below is an excerpt from my story: "...My first thought waking up, before I opened my eyes, Monday morning, May 10th, 2010 was, 'I hate my life.' ....... I talked to a friend that works in the bookstore. My first friend at the church and a wonderful woman. It took a few minutes but I mustered the courage to tell her about the suicidal thoughts I have been wrestling with, that have been gaining strength. And there it was … the darkness was out in the open. I was so ashamed, embarrassed and humiliated. How could a woman like me be so thoughtless, selfish and crazy? What would people think about me? Am I really a quitter or am I just tired of being a survivor? My friend hugged me and prayed with me. I sat in the church service, biding my time until the darkness passed. ......... God’s light met my darkness during church and THAT is where the healing began. God was not ashamed of me. He did not hate me or think badly of me. He saw my pain and held it for a bit. He does not think I “shouldn’t feel that way” or try to get me to be happy and smile. He simply supported the load so I could deal with a little at a time. ........... That is where the healing BEGAN but the Monster still lurks in seas of darkness for me. I am safe and I am determined to bring the darkness to light."

    Congrats! You officially have the top album and top song in Christian music according to iTunes! :D Apparently my mom pre-ordered it, but through Amazon. I kinda wanted to get the deluxe thingy, though. ): But she didn't give it to me until today! Grr. Oh well. It made my Friday a very good one. :D I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you guys and your ministry. I love you all so much and can't stop listening to the music. My friend that's been having some trouble saw my status on Facebook today which was the chorus from "Oh My Dear," and she said she was gonna go download it and listen to it because it made her think--even after talking to her so much and trying to get through to her, she wouldn't think. But your lyrics do! That in itself made me soooo happy. I told her to check out the whole album on your website or whatever, and I can't wait for it to spark something inside of her. Thank you, again, so so so much. I love you guys. God bless, and congratulations again. :D

    hey guys, I'm so excited about your new album like it were my own. it really is waesome. I remember the first day I heard the song play on the Klove radio station, i was online doing some work and ijust had to stop everything i was doing and go look for the song on youtube, my God nothing has ever made me stop what I'm doing and look for another thing so desperately, it was so touching and i was richly blessed. I mean this is really amazing , the words of the song are so honest and so touching as well, all my friends have got to hear this. I wish you guys the best and I hope you don't just end here, just keep up and I pray that God will give you guys the strenth to continure like this . Love you all Erica

    I first heard "The Healing Begins" the same day that I discovered my husband is still engaging in internet pornography. This has been a very long and painful battle for us, 12 years actually. As soon as I heard the song I wept and wept hoping that someday the walls would come crashing down. In the past week my husband has confessed to our pastor and our small group. This break through had been prayed about for years and years. The very next day "Light Meets The Dark" was released and I found "The Healing Begins" on You Tube. This is the most amazing song and it feels like it was written just for my husband and I. Words cannot express my thanks. I listen to the song so many times daily and it truly give me hope....

    Whoooooo! I've ordered the CD yesterday! =D I'm so happy,, but I get it until about 30 days... so that is less, 'cause I live in the Netherlands. With the previous CD, I had to wait even longer.. The short songs on the site are very very good! But Over and Underneath I now have a month and that is also very good =D I will wait for the CD and be sure to enjoy! Love Ilse

    You guys (and God) have changed my life completely! I was having a really hard time remembering that God loved me NO MATTER WHAT I had done - and I did a lot! But for one month I listened to your first CD every night and now its like I'm a different person. God is the one who really brought me back to Him, but he used your band and your songs to pretty much turn me around so that I was ready to trust in Him completely. I love that He used your music to do it because you are amazing! I only have one favorite band now and that's you! Thanks you so much for writing these songs for people like me, it means so much.

    Light Meets the Dark is such an awesome album. All of the songs are great! "Empty My Hands" especially blew me away because the lyrics have been the cry of my heart for so long. In the last year I have dealt with some really awful things, and God used you guys to reminded me that I'm not alone. I praise God for each of you, and your eagerness to get the message of Christ to the world. Thank you for letting the Potter shape you. It is obvious to me (as well as everyone else on here it seems) that Christ is using you in huge ways. Have a blessed day.

    My dad pre-orded the dulex for my birthday back in April and I got it monday night! Needless to say I opened it immediately, downloaded it on my ipod, and plugged it in as fast as I could!! I LOVE IT. the lyrics are so firmly grounded and are such an encouragement to me! Thank you for your work you put into this! God bless you all and I will be praying for you guys! Hopefully I can see you on your tour!

    Wow..."You are More" is right where I am coming from, and also what a lot of my friends, this one guy in particular, are dealing with. I know from experience that it's really hard to forget what you've done...and said. It seems sometimes that the past keeps getting thrown back in my face...but then I think of your song "House of Mirrors" and realize it's my own self I can't see past. You guys really have a gift, and I'm so glad you're using it for God. You are helping teens and adults alike all across the world. God bless you 3.

    Hey! We're your fans from Thailand :) Last night we stayed up so late so that we could coordinate the TIMES and buy your new album as soon as it came out. We sat there as time went ON and ON and we wondered if there was ANY OTHER WAY that we could get it faster. But we had to LET IT GO. Then it came!!!! HALLELUJAH!!! YOU ARE our favorite band and our expectations were not LIFTED UP TO FALL. This morning we ran to school to show our BELOVED friends the new album. Immediately they EMPTIED MY HANDS of the ipod and plugged it into the speakers. The speakers fell over but we were STRONG ENOUGH TO SAVE...them. We love the album and ALL THE PRETTY THINGS on it. YOU ARE MORE talented then ever before. All we said is true because THE TRUTH IS WHO YOU ARE. When you tell the truth you keep your HEART SAFE. OH MY DEAR! We have to go! But seriously, thanks for the CD. We really enjoyed it :)...And all your videos :P

    I was doing homework (reading) while I listened to most of the album, so I had trouble focusing on the lyrics, but two songs caught my heart even while I was reading. "On and On" made me get my school books wet with tears! Thanks a lot. Haha. And "Oh My Dear" was brilliant, too. Those songs are just beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. God's working through you guys!

    May 11th, 8:51 pm

    Wow. This cd is amazing. You guys got me through my three year old brother being in the hospital last August. All i would listen to was Over and Underneath. Times was over all my favorite. The words are so true. During my brothers sickness, I went to a camp for 5th and 6th graders. One night, they did a skit to that song. And I really knew God was speaking to me then because I had talked to my children's minister about how much I loved that song. I cant wait for your concert in Birmingham. (I already have tickets) It should be a blast. Keep doing what you guys are doing, and never settle for less that the Lord has to offer for you. Keep shining. Will

    The new album is great guys! I am quite impressed having become a bit of a critic as my music collection has grown. I want to mention one song that I know is going to be talked about: "You Are More." In my experience, I have never heard a song discuss the issue of dealing with an imperfect life RIGHT after one is saved by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Usually you wonder if He truly has forgiven you and washed your sins away. I went through a huge valley involving that when I was first saved and I know others who are dealing with this also. So this song is fantastic and I plan to encourage other Christians with it as best I can. "...it's not what you've done..but what's been done for you." So thanks again and I know that our great God will bless you guys as you show His love. Peace!

Thanks for making awesome music that speaks to your soul, and isn't superficial. Every song has meaning and is really good! This cd release has impeccable timing and is really helping me out already, even after only having it for a few hours. I love you all!!! =D

    Got it yesterday (pre-ordered the deluxe), was great to come around the corner and see it on my porch. Love the CD guys, love, love, love it! Love my t-shirt, love the journal, howeva...I can't make out who's signature is who’s???? Now, I'm not complaining, I'm totally grateful, I shouldn't even say anything about it, just thought it might be comical, as Mike had stated when you were signing them, or maybe it was just the thought of signing all of them, he threw-up a little in his mouth... The package is awesome, and our Jesus is awesomely awesome. Okay, I'm done with that word, I'm feeling excellent. (smile) Thanks guys, God bless, Laurie S.
