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 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.

Always Only Jesus is the 13th studio album by the Christian rock band MercyMe , released on CD on October 30, 2022 by Fair Trade Services. A limited edition color vinyl was made available in early 2023. The album was produced by Brown Bannister, Tedd T. and Jordan Mohilowski. Always Only Jesus was recorded around 2021 just as their previous album Inhale (Exhale) was released. This album contain just ten songs of contemporary worship music with a return to the sound they're famous for and is filled with positive, uplifting lyrics, along with energetic beats and soaring melodies. The centerpiece is the track "Then Christ Came," which lead singer Bart Millard co-wrote with musician and songwriter David Leonard. A short 1-minute demo recording was made and appeared on Inhale (Exhale) . The full-length song, with additional lyrics by contemporary worship artist Phil Wickham and singer - songwriter Jason Ingram, centers on the transformative power of Jesus, simply illustrating the contrast between life before and after encountering Him . It serves as an anthem of redemption and a personal reflection of grace. It was released as the lead single in June 2022 and then a stand-alone single of "Then Christ Came" featuring Wickham was released in November 2022, just a week after Always Only Jesus was released. The second single, "To Not Worship You," was inspired by conversations about the "deconstruction" of faith and the realization of God’s massive scale compared to human struggles . The song, written by the band and the producers, explores the irony of doubting God when, upon slowing down to reflect, His power and presence are undeniable. The track "Better Days Coming" is a father and son effort co-written by Millard and his son Sam Wesley. The song is an anthem of hope born from the promise of God’s goodness, encouraging listeners to trust that healing and brighter times are ahead even in the midst of life's deepest storms, a message rooted in faith that no pain lasts forever. The album closes with MercyMe's arrangement of the classic hymn "Nothing But the Blood." Always Only Jesus is the band's 12th number one album on the Billboard Top Christian Album chart and peaked at number 126 on the Billboard 200 Albums. In the fall of 2023, MercyMe was nominated for two Dove Awards for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Song of the Year for "Then Christ Came." Track listing 1.

Underdog is the fifth studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline , released on September 14, 1999 by ForeFront Records. Underdog 's sound is more of a combination of their two previous albums, Bloom and Some Kind of Zombie . Lyrically, Audio A's songs focus more on missions and the word of God being spread on tracks like "Hands and Feet" and "Jesus Movement." According to guitarist/songwriter Bob Herdman, the title of the album comes from the belief that Christians are usually seen as "underdogs" or "weak...but we're not. We're just the opposite. God's empowered us because we've become less for Him." The album includes two covers and a rerecording: the well-known hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" featuring vocal assistance by singer - songwriter Jennifer Knapp, a cover of Pete Townsend's 1980 hit "Let My Love Open the Door" (#9 Billboard Hot 100) and a new recording of "DC-10" (originally appeared on their self-titled debut album ). This new recording has more of a swing sound. Herdman sings lead vocals on the album's final track "The Houseplant Song." The lyrics were inspired by a story Herdman read on the Internet about the effects of music on plants. It features a number of pop culture references, including a line that says "the second one you play that Petra or that Megadeth," and the closing line which says "we listen to Audio Adrenaline, cranked to eleven," in reference to a line from the film This Is Spinal Tap . The band produced the majority of Underdog with eight songs with musician - songwriter Charlie Peacock and Todd Collins of The Gotee Brothers each producing two tracks. The album gave Audio A their first number one on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and debuted and peaked at number 76 on the Billboard 200 Albums. In 2000, the band won a Dove Award for Rock Recorded Song of the Year for the track "Get Down" at the 31st GMA Dove Awards and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Gospel Album. A year later at the 32nd GMA Dove Awards, the title track was nominated for Rock Recorded Song of the Year. In December 2022, Underdog was reissued by ForeFront Records on vinyl for a limited time with only 500 copies pressed. It was only available thru donation to the Hands and Feet Project. In addition to the band, additional musicians were involved in the making of Underdog , including Peacock providing additional vocals and arrangements on the two produced tracks, "Good Life" and "Hands and Feet" plus Dan Spencer and Darren Mettler of the Christian ska band The O.C. Supertones provide horns on "Jesus Movement" among others musicians. Track listing 1. Mighty Good Leader (Audio Adrenaline) -3:15 2.

Some Kind of Zombie is the fourth studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline , released on November 18, 1997 by ForeFront Records. This is the first album to feature new guitarist Tyler Burkum, replacing guitarist Barry Blair who left Audio A to focus more behind the scenes as a producer. Blair did contribute to co-writing and playing lead guitar on the title track. It is also the first to feature Ben Cissell as the official drummer. Some Kind of Zombie as an album concept and its title song is based on Scripture, specifically in Colossians 3, where it talks about "giving life over to God." The inspiration came from singer Mark Stuart's experience living with his missionary parents in Haiti, where voodoo is heavily practiced. According to Stuart, the message is that "you can be dead to your old self after becoming a new person through religion." The album was recorded at two studios in Tennessee: Ardent Recordings in Memphis and Shakin' Studios in Franklin. It was produced by John Hampton and follows the success of their previous album Bloom . Some Kind of Zombie 's sound is alternative rock with some grunge mixed in and has a heavier sound. It was preceded with the title song as the lead single released weeks in advance. It topped the Christian Rock chart. A remix version of the title song is only found on the CD version as a bonus track. "Blitz" features members of the Christian ska band The O.C. Supertones with lead singer Matt Morginsky providing guest vocals. A CHR remix version of "Chevette" is only found on the compilation album WOW 1999 . Some Kind of Zombie debuted and peaked at number 5 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 99 on the Billboard 200 Albums charts. In 1998, Audio A won a Dove Award for Modern Rock/Alternative Recorded Song of the Year for the title song. The following year, they were nominated for Rock Album of the Year and Modern Rock/Alternative Recorded Song of the Year for "Blitz." Some Kind of Zombie earned the band their second Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album in 1999.

Bloom is the third studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline , released on February 8, 1996 by ForeFront Records. John Hampton, who is best known for producing albums for Gin Blossoms and The Replacements, produced, mixed and engineered a majority of the album with The Gotee Brothers (Toby McKeehan of DC Talk , Joey Elway and Todd Collins) producing only three tracks. Eddie DeGarmo and Dan R. Brock served as executive producers. Bloom was recorded in 1995 at three studios in Tennessee including Ardent Recordings, where DeGarmo & Key recorded all their albums. The album was well received by the audience and proved to be Audio A's breakthrough release. Leaving behind what the band calls their "cheerleader songs" from their first two albums, Audio A goes for a new sound with a combination of alternative rock and pop songwriting sensibilities. The band says the album's title and the music reflects the way they've matured and grown into a new phase of life. Seven tracks were released to Christian Rock and CHR radio formats with "Secret" and "I'm Not the King" both topping the Christian Rock chart. Audio A also covers The Edgar Winter Group's 1972 hit "Free Ride" (#14 Billboard Hot 100). Bloom peaked at number 2 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 77 on the Billboard 200 Albums charts. In 1997, Audio A earned their first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album and was nominated for two Dove Awards for Rock Album of the Year and Rock Recorded Song of the Year for "I'm Not the King." The following year, "Free Ride" was nominated for Rock Recorded Song of the Year. The album cover was also nominated for Recorded Music Packaging.

Amy Lee Grant (born November 25, 1960) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. She began in contemporary Christian music (CCM) before crossing over to pop music in the 1980s and 1990s. She has been referred to as "The Queen of Christian Pop". As of 2009 she had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy Awards, 22 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, and her album Age to Age was the first Christian album to go Platinum. She was honored with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006 for her contributions to the entertainment industry and in 2022, she was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. Grant made her debut as a teenager gaining fame in Christian music during the 1980s with such hits as "Father's Eyes," "El Shaddai" and "Angels." In the mid-1980s, she began broadening her audience and soon became one of the first CCM artists to cross over into mainstream pop on the heels of her successful albums Unguarded and Lead Me On . In 1986, she scored her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song in a duet with Peter Cetera, "The Next Time I Fall." In 1991, she released the blockbuster album Heart in Motion which became her best-selling album to date, topping the Billboard Christian album chart for 32 weeks, selling five million copies in the U.S. and producing her second No. 1 pop single "Baby Baby" and produced another three top 10 on Billboard Hot 100; “That's What Love Is For," "Every Heartbeat" and "Good For Me." She is the author of several books, including a memoir, Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far , and a book based on the popular Christmas song "Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)" that she co-wrote. In the spring of 2023, Grant released two stand-alone singles "Trees We'll Never See" and "What You Heard." Both songs were her first new recordings since her bicycle accident and after she was inducted into the Kennedy Center Honors in 2022. On January 6, 2026, Grant released a brand new track entitled "The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)," along with a visual lyric video. The song explores themes of hope, healing and unity by contrasting the idealistic spirit of Woodstock (Yasgur's Farm) with modern-day unrest, questioning if society has lost its way while encouraging finding common ground and personal agency in uncertain times. On February 20, 2026, Grant released a new single entitled "The Me That Remains" along with an album announcement. Her long-awaited new release also titled The Me That Remains, along with the album cover and track listings, will be be released on May 8, 2026. The album also includes "The 6th of January" as the opening track. It is Grant's first new non-holiday release in 13 years.

The Me That Remains is the upcoming 20th studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant . It will be released by Amy Grant Productions with distribution by Thirty Tigers on May 8, 2026. Grant returns with her first new non-holiday album in over 13 years. Between her last release How Mercy Looks from Here   and this album, Grant has kept herself busy focusing on her reissues of older titles from her catalog and going on the road and touring with her band performing her hits. Grant has also released some non-album digital tracks including a cover of Jackie DeShannon's 1969 hit "Put a Little Love in Your Heart " in 2022 and two songs in 2023: "Trees We'll Never See" and "What You Heard." In her personal life, Grant had an open-heart surgery to repair partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR), a congenital heart condition in June 2020. Two years later in July 2022, Grant was hospitalized in Nashville following a bicycle accident and, on doctors' advice, postponed several concert dates while she recovered. After her recovery, Grant became the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2022. She is the first contemporary Christian artist to do so. The Me That Remains begins a new chapter in Grant's life. Produced by Mac McAnally, this very personal album is a journey through themes of healing, human and spiritual connection, unity and hope. The album features collaborations with guest artists Ruby Amanfu and Grant's husband Vince Gill, along with co-writing partners Jon Foreman (Switchfoot), Tom Douglas, Mike Reid, McAnally and more. The Me That Remains opens with the track "On the 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)," which Grant released on January 6, 2026 to precede the album. The song explores themes of hope, healing and unity by contrasting the idealistic spirit of Woodstock (Yasgur's Farm) with modern-day unrest, questioning if society has lost its way while encouraging finding common ground and personal agency in uncertain times. The title song, which she released on February 20, 2026 along with the album announcement, is a reflection of Grant’s journey over the last few years, overcoming heart surgery and the bike accident that nearly took her life. Grant’s music always looks through a lens of hope and faith while probing the human condition with honest commentary, inviting a conversation. The album sounds and reads somewhat like a ‘life manual’ written from the perspective of an artist who has lived through it all, knows who she is as an artist and human, and as Grant has said, "I want to be present for whatever emerges in my time." The Me That Remains is on pre-order for both physical (CD and vinyl) and digital releases (download and streaming).

Welcome to the New is the ninth studio album by the Christian rock band MercyMe , released on April 8, 2014 by Fair Trade Services/Sony Music. The album was produced by David Garcia and Ben Glover. The album was recorded in 2013 around four studios in the Nashville, Tennessee area. Welcome to the New 's sound is more upbeat and danceable incorporating some jazz, pop rock, country, R&B and Irish folk. Their sound for this album was influence by the current independent garage rock duo The Black Keys. The title song "Welcome to the New" is an upbeat light pop song with elements of synth rock, and contains some jazz parts, which has the electric guitar guiding the song with other instruments of forceful drums and guitar riffs. In addition, it is a delectable track "with its bouncy, brassy, pop hook [that] will remind believers that Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' is okay but we can get happiness-plus with joy." The next three tracks have been referred to as "electro-fueled rock and worship numbers." "Gotta Let It Go" has a mixture of Smash Mouth and U2, the lead single "Shake" is an uptempo dance-esque song and the second single "Greater" is a combination of Irish folk, Americana and country. Highlights on Welcome to the New include their third single "Flawless" which is a piano-centered ballad accompanied by a music video featuring both band members sharing their personal struggles, and real-life fans with varying issues and "Dear Younger Me" is lead singer Bart Millard's life story told through song. Four singles were released to promote Welcome to the New . It was preceded by "Shake," which was released in the fall of 2013 and made the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian charts. The second single "Greater" was released a week after the album's release. The song peaked at # 2 on the Hot Christian Songs kept off the top spot by Hillsong United's worship hit "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)." However, it hit the top spot on both the Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts. "Greater" also charted on the Heatseeker Songs and peaked at number 21 and peaked at number 14 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. "Flawless" was the third single released a year after the success of "Greater." "Flawless" also peaked at # 2 on the Hot Christian Songs and topped on both airplay charts. The final single "Dear Younger Me" released in 2016 made the Top 5 on the Christian radio charts. Welcome to the New debuted and topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums and at number 4 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. It is MercyMe's second highest charting album, after the # 3 peak of their 2010 release The Generous Mr. Lovewell . The album sold 26,000 copies in its first week. As of January 2015, the album has sold 178,000 copies. It was Gold certified in 2016 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 500,000 copies. In 2015, MercyMe picked up Grammy nominations for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for "Shake" and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album and were nominated for three Dove Awards for Artist of the Year, Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for "Greater." A year later, their song "Flawless" was nominated for Song of the Year. Track listing 1. Welcome to the New (MercyMe, Solomon Olds, David Garcia, Ben Glover) -3:20 2.
