Steven Sharp Nelson: "That Thy Performance May Be For The Welfare of Thy Soul"

The Piano Guys' Steven Sharp Nelson has lived many people's dream as he has traveled the world playing the cello. And yet, his journey has been one with many highs and lows that have taught him to trust God and to consecrate each and every performance to Him. "As incredible as all the views are, as incredible as Carnegie Hall's stage is, as incomparably sublime as playing in front of the Christ Redeemer statue is, nothing out there is better than being a dad and being a committed husband. Nothing is better than that and I remember that every time I come home from tour and my 7-year-old locks me in this hug I want to live in and says, 'Daddy.'"
