I got saved two weeks after he did. I, too, lived many years thinking I was a Christian. Praise God for Holy Ghost conviction!. July 31, 1988 is my spiritual birthday.
Thank you Lord Jesus for seeing the need of this world, the need for a sinless Saviour. You paid the ultimate sacrifice that day on the cross, you paid the price for my sins.
As a child, I foolishly turned God away, Not knowing the heartbreak a sinner must pay, But God, in His goodness, has let me return, To share with His children this lesson I learned, Chorus Sin will take you farther than you want to go, Slowly, but wholly, taking control, Sin will leave you longer than you want to stay, Sin will cost you far more than you want to pay. So with pleasure and promises, Sin took control, Leaving me dying, with nothing to show, Gone were my loved ones, and my dearest friends, Only a Saviour could love me again
Love it. I remember this statement from this song as a teenager and I am 60! I remind my children & grandchildren always. Thank you for your testimony & the song that impacted me for life so so many years ago!
MARK IS STILL THE TOP BARITONE, WON AGAIN THIS YEAR. THIS IS MY FAVORITE LINEUP OF THE CATHEDRALS- GREAT BASS GEORGE YOUNCE, GREAT LEAD GLENN PAYNE, GREAT TENOR DANNY FUNDERBURK, GREAT BARITONE MARK TRAMMELL THE WORDS TO THIS SONG TOUCH ALL OF US - THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING THERE FOR ALL OF US.
+Barbara Ludena For sure, this is the best lineup of The Cats, with the best tenor and the best baritone of all times in Southern Gospel: Danny Funderburk and Mark Trammell! Mark is a baritone that made a signature sound with his smoothness voice, his deep sonority of pitch and a great power when it is necessary, all attributes that the incredible Elvis Presley showed in his short career. Elvis is a standard for any baritone voice, and I see in Mark some of the quality in voice that Elvis presents in his concerts.
Sin will take you farther, than you want to go, Slowly, but wholly, taking control, Sin will leave you longer, than you want to stay, Sin will cost you far more, than you want to pay.

So many of us have been in this situation.

LYRICS
SIN WILL TAKE YOU FARTHER THAN YOU WANT TO GO
As a child I foolishly turned God away
Not knowing the heartbreak a sinner must face!
But God in His goodness has let me return,
To share with His children this lesson I've learned.
Sin will take you farther than you want to go,
Slowly but wholly taking control.
Sin will leave you longer than you want to stay.
Sin will cost you far more than you want to pay!
So with pleasure and promises sin took control.
Leaving me dying with nothing to show.
Gone were my loved ones and my dearest friends.
Only a Saviour could love me again!
Sin will take you farther than you want to go.
Slowly but wholly taking control.
Sin will leave you lonan you want to stay.,
Sin will cost you far more than you want to pay!
O sin will take you farther than you want to go.
Slowly but wholly taking control.
Sin will leave you longer than you want to stay.
Sin will cost you far more than you want to pay.
O sin will cost you far more than you want to pay
Thank you!
What pipes!!!
absolutely beautiful! One of my favorite songs with such a message.
What a great performance by Mark, I’ve mostly seen him singing backup, He has a beautiful voice.
This song has blessed me
Thats the hardest thing in life to be,,,and that is a good christian,,,
Great song, well done, expressed from guys who "personally" know the message, as Mark shared ahead of the performance!
1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Heaven or Hell, it's your choice.
I have GOT to get this song!!! Too much me in it!
Amen

@MrSteveh1963 This is so true. Why do God's children play in the field's of sin????

thank god for forgiveness!
Mark Trammel is a fantastic baritone. But, so is George Amon Webster
Aman! Sin stinks.
Not one of the best............ The best.
