GRAMMY-nominated band MercyMe have released their highly anticipated upcoming single, “Then Christ Came.” The award-winning group debuted the new song on all streaming platforms on Friday (6/3), accompanied by an official lyric video – watch HERE. Radio Friends were the first to hear the track when the band debuted it live at music broadcasters’ annual Momentum conference Christian in Orlando last week. “Then Christ Came” is set to hit radio July 8.
Two years in the making, “Then Christ Came” was originally intended for MercyMe’s tenth studio album, Inhale (Exhale). However, frontman Bart Millard and his co-writer, David Leonard, did not complete the track in time. Yet, knowing that it was already a special song, the band included a brief, incomplete demo of the chorus on their latest project. Recently, Millard revisited the lyrics and finished the song with friends Jason Ingram and Phil Wickham.
“We’re so excited about how it turned out,” Millard shares of the hard-fought offer. “Sometimes we overcomplicate things by trying to find new, creative ways to sing about Jesus. But the message of this song is simple in that it’s about who I was before, and then Jesus showed up, and now everything has changed. We love how this turned out and hope you do too!
MercyMe is set to share new music, along with plenty of fan favorites and chart-topping hits, when they return to Red Rocks for one night only, October 17, 2022. The engagement will mark the second time the group will headline the iconic venue.
