1200 FT BELOW SEA LEVEL
Recorded live in various venues across America in 2007 and 2008, 1200 Feet Below Sea Level, the newest CD from Jason Upton, finds Jason expressing the heart of God for His people through song, instrumental spontaneity and spoken word.
NT (Tom) Wright:
"The Jordan valley, just north of the Dead Sea, is the lowest point on the face of the earth: it's 1200FT BELOW SEA LEVEL. If you want to get any lower than that, you'd have to dig."
Eberhard Arnold - June 1934
"And finally let us ask that we all without distinction be given the gift promised to all members of the body of Christ- the highest of gifts, which is Love; that is to say, we ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Eberhard Arnold- 1933“There has hardly ever been a time when it was as evident as it is today that God and His righteousness and love do not yet rule. We see it in our own lives and in current events. We see it in the fate of the hopeless, the millions upon millions of unemployed. We see it in the unjust distribution of goods though the earth offers unstintingly its fertility and all its potentials."
Thank you to you and your "band" for your hearts toward our Lord, and allowing Him to use you as he does. Your songs/music touch me to the depths of my soul. As only He can do. God's Blessings to you.
I recently began listening to your new music. I found out today that my sisters fiance was killed in an accident. Your music has touched my heart. My sister is struggling and mad at God right now. I don't know what to say.... my heart aches for her. Your songs they speak for me.
You have done it again. Or should I say the holy spirit has done it again through you? Every one of your cds speaks to me in whatever season I am in my walk with the Lord. Thank you so much for your obedience. Thank you so much for becoming less.
To God be the Glory

It's been a long time since i've seen you! I saw you at Teen Mania Ministries last year, and that was the first time i'd ever really heard and listened to the music that the Lord has given you.
Although i've never met you in person, I really admire you a lot. I'm friends with Carol and Gene Beard (who you already know). I'm from England, and now i'm back in Nottingham I hope to be there in Derby on tuesday.
May the Lord continue to bless you!

Please come to South Africa.
Man im blessed by your music..
Hope you will come to New Zealand one day
I can say with certainty that I will never be the same.
On 1200 Ft. I think "Justice waiting" & "The world is wide open" are outstanding examples for a highly inspired worship in spirit & truth, combined with intercession.
Very much greetings from Germany - come to us soon! Be blessed well!!
Jason & Band : Stay humble so the Holy Spirit can inspire you and send us more of this blessing music.
I pray for you and I`m looking forward to meet you in Schiphol, NL.
Peace in Christ
We are really looking forward to see you in Zwolle in Holland! We are longing for true worship. Not a concert but that we will really seek the Fathers heart. I totally agree with you there is unfortunately too much religion in the church. We need to repent of that. Because it keeps us away from the things Father wants to give us. And that is to know His heart We pray that the Holy spirit will lead you and give you the wisdom you need! God bless you!
Lots of love from Holland
i have an inquiry. I am a student at International Bible College in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan Canada. I am the drama leader at our small college, and we do dramas and other ministries every now and again at the churches affiliated with our colleges denomination. We simply go to the churches that have helped keep our school running. We are truly a small college. This semester we only have 11 students, it is truly by the love of the churches and God working through them that we stay open.
So, i have written all of this hoping you will read these comments and will consider a request. i was listening to The World Is Wide open and was listening to the beginning which was on your "faith" CD and always loved and typed the words down and wrote some more to it keeping in mind it being a monologue. So i was wondering if you would allow me the permission to use the first part of World Wide open for a monologue to minister to the churches in Western Church of God. ummmm.... my email address is: sweetgurl_2009@hotmail.com and i can let you know more if you are interested at all, if not, i understand. So please contact me when you can and then i can send you the copy of the monologue with the words if you want to read through it. God bless and hope to hear from you.

thank you for your heart that is free enough and brave enough to take us into God. i've been on a road w/the Spirit for 30 yrs and in 2004 your song "freedom" helped me to stand when all around seemed crushing and oppressive. my husband and i chose "i will wait" as our theme song on sabbatical that year and the unpredictable Jesus sent us overseas. HE IS WORTH IT ALL!! Thank you. Keep going with joy.
