Welcome to the New CD

Shake - It's hard to sit still when you know who you are in Christ and the cross makes you brand new.

With dance beat that you just got to dance to, MercyMe's 8th album and highly anticipated follow-up to the powerful 'The Hurt & The Healer' CD spotlights the group's faith while adding a blast of fun and celebration with the energetic, upbeat single "Shake".

The GRAMMY nominated, American Music Award and Dove Award winning band collaborate with producers David Garcia and Ben Glover (TobyMac, Mandisa), is seen as a refreshing and dynamic shift in tone for the multi-platinum selling band.

"At 41-years-old, I feel like I am just starting to grasp who I am in Christ," says lead singer Bart Millard. "I grew up in a somewhat legalistic environment where the harder you try, the better God likes you. It was about two years ago a dear friend of mine reminded me I cannot do enough great things to make Christ love me more than He already does... I want to tell this to anyone who will listen and be the first to welcome them to the new!"

Welcome to the New single release, "Shake", was an instant hit with radio audiences, shooting up into the Top 20 on the US Billboard National Christian Audience Chart.
