MercyMe’s latest album, Always Only Jesus, centers on the simple yet powerful message that lies at the heart of their faith. The title track and the album’s lead single, “Then Christ Came,” reflect the band’s desire to return to the basics—songs that point directly to Jesus and invite listeners into worship. Crafted in their own Imagine House studio near Nashville, the album blends MercyMe’s signature lyrical depth with musical variety, from energetic tracks like “Hands Up” to the moving hymn “Nothing But the Blood.”
Throughout their 28-year career, MercyMe has become a defining force in contemporary Christian music, known for hits like “I Can Only Imagine.” With Always Only Jesus, the band offers a collection of anthems meant to inspire hope and unity, especially in challenging times. As lead singer Bart Millard puts it, “If I ever needed this to be front and center, not just in MercyMe, but in my life, it’s now.”
