Mac has one of the most soulful, Americana voices of all time.

[@aidendecoto5244]

This was my dad's favorite Third Day song, and probably one of his favorite songs in general. I learned how to play it on guitar back in 2018 and he would jokingly sing along. He was a trumpet player not a singer so we'd just start laughing when he'd do so. He passed away at the age of 52 when I was only 17 back in 2021. When I'm missing him, I'll listen to this song. I know the meaning of the song is God loving us before there was time, but I also personally think of it as my dad telling me he loved me before I was born, when I was only just a half formed baby in my mother's womb. He put his faith in Christ and I know that one day when I die, I will be with my dad again finally. Thank you Mac Powell and Third Day for crafting such a beautiful song.

Beautiful💜🕊💜

"Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world..."[St Matt. 25:34] Thank You! Mac!!!

[@virginiahagan3326]

Jesus must have been with you writing this beautiful song. It's my favorite!

[@d.taygray1250]

This song is so assuring of a pure love. The love our Heavenly Father has for us. 🙏

[@jeremywilkins4985]

The love of Christ is unmatchable and completely unbreakable. Thanks for this song Mac. It reminds me that no matter how far I stray, my Lord is watching over me and loving me just the same.

[@LuAnnMarie1960]

I just found out about Third Day being gone (last 2 years with a sick husband who now is with the Lord) and I yelled, “NO! I need that voice!” Then saw Mac’s country now! Yay! Doin the dance of joy up here in WI! 🤠

[@SmilingAtheist]

Sorry for your loss.

[@georgetaylor2919]

Can’t believe how I only heard of this guy a few months ago.... can’t get enough of his music and his message about Jesus... Thanks

[@virginiahagan3326]

I thank God for sending you! Thank you for rescuing me!

[@jamesberreth2675]

As a fan of Third Day since 1998, it of course broke my heart to say goodbye this summer. Going into the future, my hope for Mac, Mark, David, Tai and Brad is that in the music they make, or in this case recreate, I hope the message of the cross and Christ’s love for us doesn’t get lost. “I Will Always Love You” will always be about Christ’s enduring and everlasting love for us, His children.

[@IWantToMature85]

James Berreth I like them and their music, but why do some Christian singers like to sing other genres?

[@igorcampos3762]

Man, what did happen to Third Day?

[@eleanorpetrucco8727]

This is my favorite Third Day song ever written. I am a huge fan of Mac and a giant fan of Third Day too!

[@jimchumley6568]

Eleanor Petrucco Mine too! And this version is awesome.

[@theseeddream]

[@ameliamendoza3820]

Love this song, reminds me GOD IS LOVE, resh out to him, he will love you the same no matter what we do, yesterday, today, tomorrow, always, GOD NEVER CHANGES, HIS LOVE FOR US IS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL, The SAME ALWAYS

[@LeadMineGal]

What a beautiful voice.

[@patearly9492]

Thank you for sharing this fantastic song from this fantastic group and singer third day and Mac Powell. God bless everyone

[@08pmp]

This is my favorite third day song ever. Glad it was recommended to me . Always spoke to me as a kid

[@robbstephenson1896]

It reminds me of a time when I was playing and writing music with my Music Brothers. I haven't been able to play my guitar for 3 years now. If I was able this song would be a song we would do. Thanks for the your song and the memories.

[@DomesticTruther]

Was fortunate enough to see them twice in Florida

[@lopear111]

Best voice in CCM!

[@d.taygray1250]

I loved this song since the very first time I heard it. Sooo beautiful. ❤🙏

[@flagzngunz4180]

I’ve always loved this song and I always will.

[@3jintemecula]

I used to play this song for my sons every morning to wake them up for school. One of them is getting married this month and this will be the song for the mother/son dance. My husband, daughter and brother-in-law will be performing while we dance. Super excited. Thank you Mac and 3rd Day.

[@TheJadeeast]

Beautiful song!

[@theresarosemitchem6431]

Blessings to you all ✝️

[@rhyleerecalls9654]

Love this....Banjo player is amazing, Mac Powell and Third Day are my favorite. Their music got me through some hard times in my life.

[@rustione2603]

Just heard them these last few months too...it was like "intravenous" from the Lord in recovery. Then the scripture "After two days will He revive us: in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight" (Hosea 6:2)...notice revived in the "third day" :) yea, that was Third Day music for me.

[@zarahfernandez9237]

Wow i love this song very much. Thank you fpr sharing this to me. MR. NORRIS! 😊

[@waltconrad4798]

Third day will live on spreading God's love

[@lisapearson7349]

Still has a beautiful voice!!i I still miss third day so much!😂

[@jaguarJS]

I met Mac backstage at a concert and he was very gracious. He took a photo with my wife.

[@EngPheniks]

This version is a lot more better than the original

[@georgetaylor2919]

This is so true...”He always loved us no matter what.... don’t get down and ever give up.” Jesus is all we need, so simple.

[@beautifulredemption9745]

LOVE THE COUNTRY VERSION! ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!

[@coolnegative]

same

[@rustione2603]

I think it's my favorite too. Hard to choose, but, this is the first I've heard this. How can it be not from the Lord "even before there was time'....

[@paulpowell5901]

My favorite Third Day song ever! LOVE Mac + Third Day so much!❤️💕💕❤️😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😃😃😃

[@theresatolf9968]

God guide you. I do remember it didn’t work out well when Collective Soul stopped wanting to be known as “Christian”!! Don’t you feel you’re trying to keep one foot in the world? Our God is a jealous God. This is from my heart, I’ll be praying for you and your family❣️

[@pianariffin6328]

thumbs up bro.....

[@todddrummer4350]

"Third Day" was my first Third Day cd...with the Partridge Family bus on the cover, actually it was a cassette. Mac Powell is Third Day, Third Day is Mac Powell.

[@nathane7984]

A great band!

[@gurmeetpurewal1662]

nice voice

[@heavylumps1]

“I don’t know how to explain it, but I know the words will hardly do...” I think this phrase sets the tone beautifully. Reminds me of Third Day’s song titled offering, “and I will give you my life for its all I have to give, because you gave your life for me.”

[@robbstephenson1896]

Beautiful Song! Love It!

[@sureshotakadavidnorris6541]

The greatest song ever written.

[@cristinaferreira1413]

[@timmiehawkins1073]

[@michellelarocque7295]

This song still brings me to tears, way deep down inside.

[@JD-jh3wj]

Such a beautiful song and amazing talent! We always love hearing Mac Powell!

[@jacksonneomusic]

Travis Tritt + Chris Stapleton = Mac Powell

[@kennithbrowning7236]

I've always said since hearing Mac in the early 90's that he sounds like Travis Tritt especially on the early early stuff like - "I Can't Take the Pain". And then in other songs Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jamb and I guess Chris Stapleton sounds like Mac in some ways too. I really like my eastern KY boys Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers I grew up an hour or so away and played pool tournaments in their home county. BUT, I've seen Third Day 5 times and had their first 7 or 8 CDs and they have pulled me through some tough stuff just as they are now. Third day brghtens a very dark day but I dont know about the country version of Third Day and probably never will. I'm in the mood for some "do you know who I am, have you seen the things I've done"? And then to some third day version of Bob Dillon's song "Saved" Mac Powell has one of the greatest voices on the planet with songwriting skills that seems to come straight from The Word of God.

[@mabeljeanfrancois1007]

God this song ... just melts my heart... is so beautiful.

[@marydegiulio9120]

I'm a vocalist/lyricist myself - I'd of picked that one too!!!! Can't wait to see you w your new tour! You've got such a wonderful stage presence! God bless your Journey!!!!

[@SSDeven]

Absolutely the best!!

[@elaine3795]

Beautiful !!!

[@nerfermodder]

I can barley listen to Third Day anymore. It reminds too much of my dad who passed away back in 2017.

[@marciminkler6129]

Great Farewell concert in Seattle guys. Totally enjoyable evening!!! God bless you all and thank you for changing my life with your music. I will continue to support you...love,😄

[@kevinalcorn1139]

i think this is my new favorite song there is so much truth to it for me just take 4 mins to listen to it

[@ashlynblackie]

Great song with true endearment!Loved how it made me feel like you loved me!

[@clintwalker6389]

Quit turning away,Jesus is the Answer!

[@treyvaught6085]

MAc Powell

[@jujujewel2172]

I like the more country version of this, but any way he sings it, or anything he sings pretty much is awesome. Such an amazing voice and band is pretty great all of them with him too, cant deny they are an awesome group, but his voice is like butter & honey on toast...?? :P Err, Well smooth as butter oozing with the Holy Ghost ;) yes Im a bit of a geek like that but I may be in love with this bloke And this gorgeous man seems to improve with age !!

[@jujujewel2172]

Actually LOVE this version, thought they were already country being southern, but now I know ! There is a slight difference and it really suits Mac Powells voice, and the others play really well, rock and countdy and pop they do it all !!

[@larrydockery7201]

hey that sounds good

[@michellelarocque7295]

This sounds more like bluegrass to me which isn't important except bluegrass has produced wonderful unique Christian worship.

[@jayman1338]

This band is awesome!! Love these guys..I always liked bands like Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots and Sound Garden and bands like those before I became a Christian. Now that I am a Christian I let go of those old bands and so I thank God for Third day as they have a similar sound to those other bands. This song definitely has more of country sound but Mac Powell definitely has a alternative rock voice for sure. He sounds good in country too though but he sound a lot like Chris Cornell of Pearl Jam in my opinion.

[@3rdjrh]

Is this really country? I love this song

[@bowiehs]

This is one of my favorites.

[@tracycamper1499]

One of my favorite songs!! however Dream on it will NEVER be country

[@francinedelarosa8980]
