GRAMMY-nominated band MercyMe has released their next highly-anticipated single, “Then Christ Came.” The award-winning group launched the new song across all streaming platforms on Friday (6/3), alongside an official lyric video — watch HERE.

Radio friends were the first to hear the track when the band debuted it live at the annual Christian Music Broadcasters’ Momentum Conference in Orlando last week. “Then Christ Came” is set to impact radio July 8.

Two years in the making, “Then Christ Came” was originally slated for MercyMe’s tenth studio album, inhale (exhale). However, frontman Bart Millard and his co-writer, David Leonard, didn’t finish the track in time. Yet, knowing 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 are just so excited with how it turned out,” Millard shares of the hard-fought offering. “Sometimes we over-complicate things trying to come up with 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 it turned out and hope you like it, too!”

MercyMe is set to share new music, as well as plenty of fan favorites and chart-topping hits, when they return to Red Rocks for one night only, Oct. 17, 2022. The engagement will mark the band’s second time to headline the iconic venue.

“Made You Too,” a song by We The Least, a band comprised of singer/songwriters, goes for adds to Christian AC-formatted radio outlets today. The song is from “Sundae Best,” We The Least’s second album and currently is available on all streaming platforms. A video for “Made You Too,” which was written by band member Michaela DeLong and produced by Nathaniel Dulski, is available on YouTube.

Michaela DeLong, who sings and plays keyboards, says the song was inspired by a friend’s Instagram post.

“The post basically talked about how we, as humans, look in awe at the things God has created: oceans, mountains, sunsets. Then the next second,” DeLong points out, “we turn and look at ourselves in disappointment. The Instagram quote ended with the phrase, ‘as if He didn’t create both.’ I instantly knew God had specifically allowed me to see that post.”

DeLong shares that she personally related to the message.

“I can sit and watch sunsets for hours, absolutely amazed by the colors God paints in the sky. I can hardly breathe looking at the most spectacular view at the top of a mountain. I truly connect with God through His creation. God has made a world that is indescribable. But we constantly forget that ‘He made us too!’ He made me. He made you.”

DeLong worked on “Made You Too” for three years as she processed the idea that, “just as the stars have a purpose, and the sun and the moon, each of us has a purpose too,” she says.

“The day I finished the chorus, I bawled my eyes out,” she shares, “because I truly believe God gave me the lyrics to encourage other people and to encourage myself.”

We The Least, comprised of Michaela DeLong, Nathanael DeLong, Noah DeLong and Dell May, took the 19th Annual Songwriter of the Year honors in a competition by ChristianSongwriting.com. The group released its first album in 2019, titled, “Screw It Up.”

The band members describe their music as ‘indie country Christian’ because they write in a variety of musical and lyrical styles, and are known for their creative use of three-part harmony. The band recently relocated from their hometown of Mendota, Illinois, to Nashville, Tennessee, to continue pursuing their music careers.

Sensational and inspirational gospel music minister, Charis has released another Single, titled “I BELIEVE”.

She says; “It doesn’t matter what the world is saying, Gods word can’t be broken.

God and his word are one and his word can’t return to him void (isaiah 55:11). He says what he means and he means what he says.

All things are possible through Christ and I believe it.” You are sure not gonna remain the same listening to this Masterpiece… ALL GRACE.

US based music minister, Tomi Favored releases new single “Committed to You”, featuring Suanesha.

“Committed To You” is a song from the heart of a worshipper re-establishing commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ever so often, one thinks about life and ponders the good, the bad, the crazy, and tries to see how God’s hand has been there…helping, saving and giving grace.

“In one of those moments, when God’s goodness became apparent to me, I realized I needed to verbally declare my commitment to God all over again. Not that He left me, or I lost my salvation or anything, but I needed to tell myself, “I’M COMMITTED” to Jesus. He’s always been faithful, and I should also remain faithful to Him.

Just like a couple renewing vows, or business partners reaffirming their partnership in an endeavor, as a believer in Jesus, I needed to proclaim that I’m committed to the Lord unashamedly. To myself, to others, to Jesus”, – Tomi Favored said.
