Hey I just saw TMG in Houston TX and I was wondering what was the name of the song that was played as the band was taking the stage. I don't remember much except for a mention of the lord with an upbeat tempo and john singing along.

"Sing Your Praise to the Lord" - Amy Grant

Worth mentioning that the song was actually written by Rich Mullins, another musician that John's said he really likes.

He was a fantastic musician.

John has good taste in CCM. Not a subject you'll often see me in the mood to talk about, but I'm feeling pretty nostalgic after hearing that as the intro. I knew John loved Amy Grant, but I was still surprised by it. Having had a pretty strong break with Christianity in adulthood, I often forget that there was some really well made music among the crap that often is CCM.

Age to Age was one of my favorite albums as a kid. "In a Little While", "I Have Decided", "Sing Your Praise to the Lord", "Fat Baby" and "El Shaddai" are the only songs I seem to remember now. I think more than likely that amazing piano intro to the song was played by Michael W Smith, another CCM artist who had some mainstream radio hits.

Rich Mullins was undeniably an amazingly talented artist and seemingly all around good guy who's life was too short.
