I was in the US Army in 1960 and mdy mother wrote me all the time while I was gone. When I heard Mark sin gthis song at a concert in Freeport, Illinois, it brought tears to my eyes, remembering my own mother and the way she felt when she saw me step off the plane. Mark keep it up. Also, folks, when yo see a serviceman, say thanks and then thank Jesus,
I first heard this song in boot camp usaf... Two deployments in my career and finally home now... 6hrs active duty.. This song means more to me now than it did when i first heard it... Thank you...
I once heard of a man that gave his life so that all others could LIVE his name was Jesus, We owe a debt to him for this. I once heard of a man that gave his life so that others could live and find this man name Jesus, I don’t know all their names, but I do know that we all owe them a debt to. Don’t let these sacrifices go in vein, love your brother, hug a soldier, find Jesus he is waiting for you!
I'm an A1C in the usaf as security forces, and we listened to this song every sunday in church during basic training, and it killed me the first time! By the end of basic, we were all looking forward to listening to this song, so if any guy tells you that he didn't cry the first time he heard this song, he's lying! lol God bless all my past brothers and sister
I was in the Navy ~35 years ago. My son told me about this song being on the radio; the first time I heard it, had to pull over, since I couldn't see. Since then I have had the privilege to hear Mark do this in concert twice. Just awesome. Have shared it with many Vets I know.
I'm christian and I believe war has it's place. There are numerous places in the bible where the Israelites (with the blessing of God) went to war. War is sometimes necessary.
I just hope and pray that I don't have to look out for letters from war from all my friends in the armed forces. especially in the air force and army..
Hello, I was looking at the comment you made on "Letters from War". You had something like Christian vs. Christian, with references to Newsboy and SCC as trash. Was wonder if you could clarify for me. I do not see what you mean by "trash". Thanks

Mark Schultz is a good singer, but to me this sounds like nither a positive or negaive war song.... my problem is that Christian singers are not leading the way in anti-war songs, anti-globalism songs, and the such that is destroying our world, our country, and the Christian religion... Non-Christain singers such as Linkin Park and such sing these songs... my thing is.. is Christain music become to politically correct??
I don't think THIS is politically correct. These days, PC has become pointless 'messages' about the 'cause of the day'. This is about the emotions and feeling of those who go to war, and those left behind. It is so good because it DOESN'T waste time being political. Not that there can't be good songs that are also political, but not everything has to be about that.

I don't think Mark gets enough credit for how good a songwriter he is.
14 years ago this song still melted my heart and as a man I cry
I seriously cannot get through this song without bawling
My dad was in the navy and so I know my mom can relate to this song and I am so glad that my dad out alive and that I can see him every day
Every Sunday in BMT this song would have every trainee crying, still gets me to this day.
This song is one of Mark's that got me through when my son was serving an extended tour in Iraq. His music is such a blessing. +++

This song makes me cry cuz it reminds me of my brother . He's such a brave man!
He sounds great ANYTIME! We saw him in Lancaster, PA at a church and it was the best concert EVER!! Super nice man, also!
Metallica is way better🤘
His songs were always heartwarming, but I'd say this was one of his better songs.
Not only a song, but a touching story. God bless.
I finally got all the lyrics to this song! Nice performance Mark! God bless!
this song sometimes makes me cry cuz my brothers a marine and all i want is for him to say safe. He's such a brave man and he's only 19 almost 20.
This is one of the best songs I ever heard

I believe the Holy Sprite was with Mark when he wrote this song.

This makes me cry every time.
I love this song so much....I joined the military because of this.
I just hope and pray that I don't have to look out for letters from war from all my friends in the armed forces. especially in the air force and army..
@MusicLovinJesusFreak - He has hair on the album cover of this song. He is sitting on a piano bench looking down kinda.. you can see hair.
Chord progression reminds me of Iris by the Goo Goo dolls. Would make an interesting medley ;)
and he's only 19 all i want is for im to stay safe he has so much life to live still he's a marine.

Anyone know what mic he is singing into? That thing is picking up every nuance of Mark's voice. Just BEAUTIFUL.

@THEBILL1993 Doesnt he also have hair in the music video for this song?
He should be at the top with the rest of the artists....He's much better than that bieber freak.
i wonder how he would look with hair... O.o
Back when Obummer, a weak President ruined this country. Thank you for Trump!
