  • Wonder & Awe (2025)

    Wonder & Awe is the 14th studio album by the Christian rock band MercyMe , released on August 8, 2025 by Fair Trade Services. Recording took place in 2024 and 2025. Lead vocalist Bart Millard talks to Music Row about the inspiration of Wonder & Awe : " One of the struggles within today's church is the lack of awe. Having access to virtually everything within the palm of our hands, where’s the joy in being surprised? Those moments that take our breath away. This album reflects where I am right now…longing for wonder and awe—actively seeking the wonder of God and learning not to take it for granted. We’re so excited to finally share it, and we hope it brings even a fraction of the joy and excitement it’s brought us." MercyMe wrote and produced a majority of the album with Tedd T. along with Bannister co-producing and bringing in three new co -producers: Carter Frodge, Josh Auer and Jared Atherton. The album was preceded by the lead single "Oh Death." It was released in early 2025 and was co-written by Millard, Tedd T., Ethan Hulse and American country pop singer Walker Hayes, who's is best known for his 2021 TikTok viral hit "Fancy Like." "Oh Death" is a celebratory, faith-based anthem declaring that death has no power over believers, framing it as a defeated foe rather than a final end . Inspired by 1 Corinthians 15:55, the song portrays death as "nothing but a stone that my savior rolled away," emphasizing that Jesus’ resurrection provides victory and removes the fear of dying. There are two versions of "Oh Death" on Wonder & Awe : the album version featuring just MercyMe and the version featuring Hayes to close the album. The song topped at number 1 on Billboard magazine's Christian AC Airplay chart (their 21st number one song) while going Top 10 on the Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. Other tracks like "Sing (Like You've Already Won)" and "Heartbroken Hallelujah" were released as promotional singles. The title song debuted and peaked at number 48 on the Hot Christian Songs chart upon the album's official release. Wonder & Awe debuted and peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums charts and at number 34 on the Top Album Sales. For the first time since they began charting 2001, Wonder & Awe is the first MercyMe album to not chart on the Billboard 200. "Oh Death" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2025 K-Love Fan Awards. Track listing 1. Canary In a Coal Mine (Bart Millard) -1:35 2. All God's People (MercyMe, Tedd Tjornhom) -3:46 3.

  • MercyMe

    MercyMe is an American contemporary Christian band founded in Greenville, Texas. The current band consists of lead vocalist Bart Millard, drummer and percussionist Robby Shaffer, bassist Nathan Cochran and guitarists Michael Scheuchzer and Barry Graul. Keyboardist James Bryson was also a founding member and played on the band's six self-released albums and the first seven major released albums from 1994 to 2011. The band formed in 1994 and released six independent albums prior to signing with INO Records in 2001. The group first gained mainstream recognition with the crossover single, “I Can Only Imagine” which elevated their debut album, Almost There , to becoming certified triple platinum. Since then, the group has released fourteen additional studio albums, six of which have been certified gold, and two greatest hits album. MercyMe has won numerous Dove Awards and has had various Grammy Award nominations. In 2009, Billboard magazine named MercyMe the Christian Songs Artist of the Decade for the 2000s. Their song "Word of God Speak" was named the Christian Song of the Decade and they also were named the Christian Adult Contemporary Songs Artist of the Decade. They had 13 consecutive top-five singles on the Billboard Christian Songs chart, with seven of them reaching number one. MercyMe has won eight Dove Awards and has had many Grammy Award nominations. Born into a family as the son of Southern Methodist University All-American player Arthur Millard and the brother of a football player, MercyMe's lead singer, Bart Millard wanted to become a football player, yet his football career ended when he injured his ankles in a high school football game. As a result of his injury, Millard took choir as an elective. During his freshmen year in college, Millard had to endure the death of his father. His youth pastor, who had moved from Texas to Florida, invited Millard to work with his youth group’s worship band. Millard accepted his invitation and went on to work on the video and sound systems for the group. On a day when the band’s lead singer got stuck on stage, Millard took the challenge of singing for the group. James (Jim) Bryson played piano for that band and later went on to play with Millard and the worship band on a trip to Switzerland. This trip became the cause of Millard and Bryson’s consideration of playing music full-time. Millard and his friend, guitarist Mike Scheuchzer, moved to Oklahoma City to form MercyMe with Bryson. In 1997, MercyMe moved to Nashville, Tennessee to find a record label. After a year, they left Nashville for Dallas, Texas and recorded an album. Then they settled in Greenville, Texas, and served at Highland Terrace Baptist Church. The trio set up a studio and a “living area” in an old abandoned day-care center. Bassist Nathan Cochran and Drummer Robby Shaffer joined the band later on, accompanying the band on releasing six independent projects before signing with INO Records in 2001. Unlike their first three major label albums, their earlier indie projects tended to orient more towards rock rhythms. The group’s name, “MercyMe,” originated during Millard's time as a youth ministry intern in Florida. Concerned that her grandson was home whenever she called, Millard’s grandmother would exclaim, “Well mercy me, why don’t you get a real job?” For several years, the band was a mainstay at the popular PlanetWisdom youth conference. The popularity of "I Can Only Imagine" and their meteoric rise led to their no longer leading worship at the conference.
