Sometimes the most powerful, truth-laden statements are the most simple and direct. Always Only Jesus. There it is — just three words that ignite the heart of every believer and lay the foundation for unbridled faith. How could those words not inspire a song? Well for MercyMe, they did.
“Always Only Jesus” is the pivotal track that provided the title of the award-winning band’s latest album, a collection filled with the kind of musically inventive, lyrically substantive songs that have always been the bedrock of MercyMe’s decades long career. “I feel like what we need right now is an anthem that we can all agree on,” guitarist Mike Scheuchzer says. “We may not agree on anything else, but we all agree that it’s ‘Always Only Jesus.’ That’s why the album feels like anthem after anthem after anthem because they are all definitive statements about Jesus.”
