As the father of a now 30-year old pediatric heart transplant recipient, I have a sense of the overwhelming gratitude and humility Paul speaks of. When an anonymous donor, in our case an infant, gives you the very gift of life, and you have no way to express to them your profound gratitude, it impacts deeply your love for a merciful God in heaven AND the fellow human beings you share this earth with who would be so magnanimous and selfless in their hour of grief. I’m so glad you and your family were able to experience that love and that you are now able to share your unique gifts and talents with all of us. And on it goes forward in the Lord’s great plan. God bless you, Paul. And thank you for your music. It is a conduit for the spirit.

Began to listen to his work about a yr ago Found it to be very different than” main stream “ religion , far more spiritual but at a different level of depth - sacredly haunting it seems Near death can uncover secret pathways I write poems- if it doesn’t come to you there isn’t much value to what comes from you , I have found Speaking of organ donation: 27 yrs again my wife and I had to decide to take our 17 year old son off life supports We faced a that decision that no parent should have to But we did and by so doing gave life to those that would not have had a second chance So glad we chose to His heart was given to a musician In Nashville Would not have been Br Cardall as it was 27 yrs ago Ensign wanted our story but it got pulled by ? Church and organ donation “stuff” Not much into piano solos but when he combines it with a “full house” it is magic— keep creating there is no bottom!

As a member of the Choral Arts Society of Utah, it was a delight to perform with Paul Cardall in a charity concert. Paul is a humble and gracious human being and most deserving of the Dove Award.

This music brings about a calmness to your soul, that it can help lighten whatever hardships people may be enduring in their lives. It’s been awesome to watch how much Paul has grown and the many people he has helped bring joy to with his music! It’s an honor to know Paul, through my husband Corey, on a personal level. For those that only know Paul from his music, on a personal level he is just as genuine and caring of a person, as this so reflects in his beautiful music! Congrats on the 10 year Anniversary! ❤️

So thankful for your beautiful, truly peaceful music. I have been wanting to let you know that for a long time. I have listened to your CD’s for years, but almost 10 months ago the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA changed my life and the lives of 27,000 people. Consequently, I have had many long drives from where I currently live to serve and worship with my community in Paradise. Your music is what has sustained during this time during my drives, when I needed to feel peace during the day at home, and falling asleep at night. I feel so blessed to have your music in my life! Thank you does not express my feelings well enough...
