There's a businessman, there's a widowed wife
A smiling face witha Shattered Life
A teenage girl with a choice to make
It's crowded here in church today

And the preacher says as the sermon ends

'Please close you eyes, bow your heads
Is there anyone in need of prayer,
Oh Jesus wants to meet you here'

Cause we all fall short, and we all have sinned
But when you let, God's grace break in

(Chorus)
It's Beautiful, Beautiful
Come as you are
Surrender your heart
Broken and beautiful

-from 'Broken & Beautiful'
(Mark Schultz and Matthew West)

The Past year for Mark Schultz has been a stellar one by all accounts. Professionally, his most recent live CD/DVD was certified platinum and the project's only new song ('I Am') hit #1 after being at radio for seven months and has remained in the top ten for 30 weeks! Personally, Mark got married and has been enjoying life as a newlywed. Perhaps his multiple blessings aided in the creation of Mark's most well written and best sounding songs to date.

Broken & Beautiful, produced by Mark Bright (Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood) and Shaun Shankel (Hillary Duff, Kimberley Locke), is poised to be the best album of Mark Schultz's career. His voice has never sounded better and much to fans' delight, half of the album is Mark's signature story songs. Whether it's the sweet tale of lifelong love in 'He's Walking Her Home' or Mark's own adoption in 'Everything To Me,' these songs will tug at your heartstrings time and time again. The title track is the first single to radio and it is an up-tempo pop song about human brokenness. For years, Mark Schultz's songs have reminded us of poignant life memories and Broken & Beautiful is a musical staple that will not disappoint.
