The multi-platinum selling band will attend Sunday’s 60th GRAMMY® Awards where “Even If” is up for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song while their latest chart-topping album Lifer is a contender for Best Contemporary Christian Album.
“In the span of MercyMe’s 23-year career I never would have guessed that we would be celebrating our first hit along with our most recent hit,” shares MercyMe’s Bart Millard. “We are eternally grateful for all of the support we receive.”
The much-anticipated new movie, “I Can Only Imagine,” a true story based on the life of Bart Millard who wrote the mega-hit song “I Can Only Imagine” after the loss of his father to cancer, opens in theaters Mar. 16, 2018. A new theatrical trailer has been released following 40 million people viewing the teaser trailer.
