Missed opportunity on "Finished What He Started" - that should have been a huge hit, but the album is 3 years old so a new album makes sense. Excited to hear this!

Maybe this will grow on me. Mercyme is my favorite band and for the first time in their history, I'm just not digging this. No issues with the message, I just don't like it musically.

Out of curiosity, where did you it? Yeah, I'm not seeing a studio recording released anywhere yet, I'm guessing you heard it on the radio? I'm excited to hear it though. Their last two albums have been incredible so their back in the right direction, imo. |

I've been hearing it on the radio. It's a softer tune, which is not an issue for me. Like I said, maybe it will grow on me.

I'd say this will be released to iTunes this Friday hopefully. It moved up 16 spots from 45 to 29 on Christian Airplay.

It is already starting to grow on me. The message is too strong to nitpick the style.

This is soaring up the charts faster than any song in recent memory - already top 15.
It's such a powerful song with amazing lyrics, and should be a huge #1 hit.

Ugh, I'm in love with this. SUCH an incredible song. I forgive them for not releasing "Finish What He Started" now ;)

In one week this went from me not liking it musically to it being one of their too 3 or 4 songs for me. I put it up there with I Can Only Inagine, You're Beautiful, and Home.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it become one of MercyMe's biggest hits, even with all of the epic songs they've released over the past 15 years. |

Just hit #1 already on the Christian AC chart. This could stay there a while!

This is one of those "life raft" songs. It's impact will remain years from now.

This is one of those "life raft" songs. It's impact will remain years from now. It's pretty awesome that we have "Even If", "Oh My Soul", and "I Have This Hope" all climbing in the top 10 right now. Three powerful songs just overflowing with raw emotion. |

Yes, I feel that way about all three songs as well.

As this keeps going, I can't help but wonder what they will release next. I feel like Lifer would follow their pattern, but I want to see Happy Dance next.

19 weeks at #1 on Billboard Christian AC – a 20th week might be tough though with Old Church Choir surging.

I have no official confirmation but rumors are "Happy Dance" may be the next single. I know they shot a music video for it.

I guess they are at the point in their career where whatever they release will be embraced by radio, it doesn't hurt that their album's sales isn't awful
