Music video

edit

This CD features the song "I Have Been There." This song is the first music video Mark Schultz featured in.

The video starts with Mark playing the piano in a mansion. The scene then changes to a young married couple in a car holding their new baby girl. The couple worries they won't have the money to raise the child. They then pray to God saying all they have to give to the child is love. God then comforts them by saying he's been there, and has dealt with fear.

The next scene is at a church, where a pastor looks troubled, because most people are straying away from God by not going to Mass. The pastor prays to God saying he doesn't understand what's happening. God responds saying he's been there, and he's dealt with pain.

The last scene is at a cemetery, where an elderly man is dropping flowers off at his deceased wife's grave. The man then prays to God saying he loved his wife until the end. He then hears God saying he'll see her again.

The song then ends with Mark Schultz singing the chorus: I have been there. I know what sorrow is all about. Yes, I have been there, and I am standing with you now. I have been there, and I came to build a bridge so this road could lead you home. Oh I have been there.[1]
