Colorful, time lapsed chalk drawings intertwine with scripture to illustrate powerful song lyrics in this creative upbeat countdown. The result is a passionate, prayerful declaration to seek God and put him above all other pursuits. It's a great way to get everyone in their seats with hearts ready for worship. The message is perfect for any service and especially relevant for themes of seeking God, Lent, Ash Wednesday, fasting, repentance and Pentecost Sunday. It’s also available as an illustration (without the countdown). The song More by Todd Vaters is available on iTunes or at www.ToddVaters.com. A lyric and chord sheet is available through CCLI (song #4575784).
