MercyMe ready 'Welcome To The New'
THE LATEST album by CCM veterans MercyMe will be released by Fair Trade
Services on 8th April. 'Welcome To The New' was produced by David
Garcia and Ben Glover (TobyMac, Mandisa). Said the band's Bart
Millard, "At 41-years-old, I feel like I am just starting to grasp who
I am in Christ. 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. Not to mention, I
can't sabotage this relationship and be taken from His hand. In other
words, all the work was truly done on the cross and I cannot mess it
up! This is not a new season in my life, it is my life! Everything has
changed from this point on, and I want to tell this to anyone who will
listen and be the first to welcome them to the new!" A single,
"Shake", from 'Welcome To The New' has already been a major US
Christian radio hit.
