MercyMe is an Grammy Award and Dove Award winning American contemporary Christian band, originally formed in Greenville, Texas in 1994.
In 2002, the band released their popular second album, Spoken For, which produced two more Top 10 hits. The combined success of the band's first two albums garnered a nomination for the Favorite Contemporary Inspirational Artist at the American Music Awards.
In 2004, MercyMe released Undone which produced two Top 10 hits: Here With Me which also hit Bilboard's Top 100 chart that same year, and In The Blink of an Eye which, as of the end of 2005, was at #5 on R&R's top Christian hits.
Since then, MercyMe has released one more album Coming Up To Breathe in 2006. While this album keeps to the same style and appeal of its predecessors, Bart Millard wrote that the band was not seeking to meet its previous popularity, but rather a more personal album that was written for God.
Despite this conviction, MercyMe's eleventh album has hit no. 13 on the Billboard charts and features the hits So Long Self, Coming Up To Breathe, and Hold Fast.
