He's My Son: w/Lyrics (Mark Shultz Cover) Ross Priluker

This song is a hidden gem! It kills me that most people have yet to hear this song. It was one of my favorites and I hope I did this cover justice! Mark Shultz is an amazing artist and even more amazing is the story behind this song. As I was recording this, as you will be able to see in the video, I was getting pretty emotional throughout the process. The lyrics and the story penetrate your very heart and soul.

A little bit about this song...

Mark Schultz wrote this song about a family dealing with their son's cancer when he was a youth minister at a church in Nashville, Tennessee. It was inspired by the grieving of a couple in his church, whose son had been diagnosed with leukemia. Shultz observed the struggles of the mother and father. He explained in CCM Top 100 Greatest Songs In Christian Music: "Louise often stayed up with (Martin) until he fell asleep. She would rub his back and try to comfort him, but she felt helpless. Some nights, John would wake up and walk down the hall to Martin's room and watch him sleep. As he stood there, he would try to imagine what life would be like without his son."
Schultz added that he "tried for several months to write a song for John and Louise, but nothing seemed to capture what they were going through. I couldn't begin to understand the depth of pain John and Louise faced every day - but God did." He then went on to explain that eventually "the only thing I had to do with this song is that I just happened to be there when God sat it in my lap."
