Bart Millard quotes
-
“Our relationship with Christ is something we cannot just turn on and off. It is a part of us. On our best, and our worst, we are in this thing for life.”
-- Bart Millard -
“I came to know Christ when I was 13 years old at a youth camp I attended. I may not have known much about Him, but I knew I was saved by grace and that, because of the cross, I had a hope like no other. I cannot imagine life without Him.”
-- Bart Millard -
“I would say that God is much bigger than all of this. I've been through difficult times where it just seems like hope is nowhere to be found, but those are some of the greater moments where we run to Christ a little faster and hang on a little tighter. Through the hardest times in life, I hope people turn to him and realize he's still a sovereign God; he's in control.”
-- Bart Millard -
“Our whole intention was to make a record of songs that we grew up with and change them up a little bit, but we kind of stumbled on writing "Joseph's Lullaby." The irony is when I originally wrote the song, it was called "Mary's Lullaby." I wrote it from Mary's standpoint and it was in a higher key, a real falsetto, and it just wasn't right. One day, the producer's wife said, "Well, it's kind of odd that you're singing from Mary's perspective, being the guy. Why don't you do Joseph?”

“I think Saturday may be Latin for "stay in pajamas til noon then eventually motivate yourself to shower and get ready for bed that night.”
-- Bart Millard -
“I was working in a church in Florida as a youth intern, which means I really didn't do much other than staple stuff. I'm from Dallas, Texas, and every time my grandmother would call-she would call me any time of the day-I'd be home answering the phone. She was like, "What do you do all day?" and sarcastically I would say, "Well, I'm trying to chalk off the next year to spend time finding a band name." And she said, "Well mercy me, why don't you get a real job?" I thought, "Wait a minute. That's the perfect name." That kind of freed up my year but that's where the name came from.”
-- Bart Millard -
“I think the hymns give us a glimpse of the generations before us, and what was important to them at the time. Even though they are usually singing similiar messages that are in today's music, it is good to be reminded that the message of Christ is just as much relevant today as it was then.”
-- Bart Millard -
“Some of our jokes we made up on the fly. I love Lecrae; we have been friends for a while and he is just one of my favorite people.”
-- Bart Millard -
-
“If the song was upbeat, we'd get out a funky Harry Connick, Jr. album, some Louis Prima big band, or a Bob Wills swing record for inspiration and swing for the fence, hoping to get that 'soundtrack to your life' vibe. And if it was a slow song, we'd go the other way and really make it worshipful.”
-- Bart Millard
-
“We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying.”
-
“The purpose of God isn't to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.”
-
“Our identification with Christ should be that whatever He is we also want to become.”
-
“God doesn't do notes, either. Did Jesus Christ say, "Can I be excused the Crucifixion?" No!”
-
“The worst thing you can think about when you’re working is yourself,”
-
“You have seen me at my worst and at my weakest. Let me show you my best.”
