In the business of music, 15 years might as well be a lifetime; however, for four ordinary guys who couldnt imagine anything better than singing about Jesus, the past 15 years have been more like a dream come to life. 4HIM has been about sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through the powerful, incomparable medium of music since their beginnings singing with the well-known ensemble group, Truth.
From the four ordinary guys who formed while sitting down at McDonalds to explore the idea of forming a four-man pop-gospel group, 4HIM presents ENCOREFOR FUTURE GENERATIONS, their final project as 4HIM, a collection of career favorites, as well as a solo song from each member.
We couldnt think of a better way to write the closing chapter to our story than to sing our way out, 4HIM states, We hope you hear our hearts in ENCORE and know how blessed weve been to be a part of your lives.
Since their formation in 1989, their harmonic convergencethe likes of which hadnt been heard in Christian music since the Imperials took audiences by storm in the late 1970sblended the best of tradition from past decades in Christian music with modern pop sensibilities and no-holds-barred, real life lyrics. Christian radio got it right of the box with the groups first No. 1 single, Where There Is Faith, and audiences began to sit up and take notice of the fresh-faced foursome from down south.
4HIM managed to transcend any of those potential pratfalls, continuing to make music that not only met the needs of listeners but pushed the creative envelope as the mainstream pop music scene evolved into something a little less slick, less produced.
By the time 4HIMs best of album released in 2004, all four men were contemplating where do we go from here? Not because they were drifting apart or because the opportunities were few and far between. No, call it sixth sense, the sense of discovery, of beginning to understand that there could be life beyond the ministry theyd devoted the biggest part of their adult lives to.
After much prayer, Andy Chrisman decided to pursue a lifelong passion as worship leader at a local church in Celebration, Florida. Mark Harris had begun writing new songs for a solo project. Marty and Kirk were also busy writing and doing production work on their own.
Each one, in his own time, began to feel the excitement of seeing new roads winding out before them. They began, one by one, to sense God saying I am doing a new thing in you. And so, with gratitude for all God has done over the past 15 years, they began to write the closing chapter in the story of 4HIM.
Taking a walk down memory lane, 4HIM recorded new versions of their biggest hits on the farewell project. Once again their longtime producer Michael Omartian produced the project, which features nine favorite 4HIM songs, in addition to a medley and one new track, Unity (We Stand), featuring guest vocalists Point of Grace and Jeromy Deibler of FFH. Four bonus solo songs from each band member will also be included.
This project will hopefully capture the spirit of the songs and where we are now in 2005 musically, spiritually and thematically it will be a trip down memory lane with a new twist, Mark Harris explains. We wanted to do this last project as a gift to our loyal fansto commemorate all the years of faithful support we have received from them.
Throughout their time together, 4HIM has received much acclaim for their 11 hit albums including an RIAA Gold certified album (The Basics of Life), 24 No. 1 radio singles, eight Dove Awards including three Group of the Year, and a Grammy Award nomination as well as Alabamas Music Hall of Fame for The Governors Achievement Award. In addition to their numerous tours across the nation, the group has also been featured performers with the Billy Graham and Louis Palau crusades.
Greetings 4Him, Stopping by to lift you up in prayer today, whatever your circumstances may be. Here is an awesome promise from God’s word that encourages me. I hope it does you too.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
Hello dear friends, I’m on my prayer rounds and just stopping by to lift up you and your family today.
Here is a reminder of the most wonderful truth in all of Scripture: In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 1 John 4:10
Isn’t that just awesome! Praying you will walk in the certain knowledge of His love for you each day. Your friend who is eternally, Dedicated to Christ
Blessings to you! May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
Praying that God will bless you greatly in the days ahead as you serve Him. In His love, Your friend who is Dedicated to Christ
" Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us RUN with patience THE RACE that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
- Hebrews 12:1-2 KJV
Just something to meditate on while the world is focused on the Olympic Games :)
Greetings 4Him, Just stopping by to pray for you and your families, whatever your needs may be. He who knows your heart, knows your needs.
Romans 8:26-27 “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
Dear 4Him, You are each so special to God! I am praying now for you and your families. “For great is His love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.” Psalm 117:2
May you grow in the knowledge of God's Everlasting Love and faithfulness. your friend who is Dedicated to Christ
