Award-winning songsmith Andrew Marcus unveils "Take All Of Me" single

Staff Retreat Song

AWARD-winning Canadian singer/songwriter Andrew Marcus, who had a Cross Rhythms radio hit back in 2010 with "Darkness In Disguise", has released a new single. Marcus wrote "Take All Of Me" at his church's annual staff retreat. He explained, "I wrote 'Take All Of Me' as a prayer a few years ago at our church staff retreat. We were planning to have our last evening session of the retreat where we were going to come together to pray and seek the Holy Spirit. Before our session, we had some free time to rest, read, pray and explore the beautiful campground we were staying at. I kept feeling in my heart that I was supposed to spend my free time seeking the Lord with my guitar. It was during that free time where I wrote this prayer for our staff team. Right before the session started, I thought to myself that there was no way this song was strong enough to show anyone. All of the sudden, the doubts started flooding my mind. The session started, and I kept doubting. I ended up not leading the song. In fact, it took two years before I actually introduced the song to our church family. Once I introduced it to my church family, I wept at the response. Whenever we get the privilege with sharing this song on the road, God does something so special in the room." CR
