About Mark Lowry |

In his earliest days as a singer, as he tells it, Mark began trying to fill the silence between his songs while waiting for the little old man in the back of the church to change his soundtracks. "Those few seconds of 'dead air' can feel like hours when you're on stage facing a crowd - so, to fill time, I'd start talking about my life and my testimony. People would laugh... and I finally realized I was on to something."
