Product Description

From Amazon.com

You spend nearly a decade playing praise and worship songs in churches across the country and then, all of a sudden, one of your songs ("I Can Only Imagine") becomes the Song of the Year, a megahit, and your band is Band of the Year. Everything changes? That's what faces Mercy Me and its sophomore release--Spoken For--coming on the heels of the hottest Christian release (Almost There) in the last year. While you won't find anything quite like "Imagine" on this release, Mercy Me still offers an earnest appeal, with trademark slower tracks like "Spoken For" and "Word of God Speak." Lead man Bart Millard and boys can also rock it up a bit with the opener, "The Change Inside Me," and the U2-ish charging anthem "Go." Ironically enough, this second release may not contain a huge hit, but it's much stronger in all phases compared with the band's inconsistent debut. And rest assured, Mercy Me's emphasis is still on praising God and doing so with excellence and sincerity. --Michael Lyttle

This review is from: Spoken for (Audio CD)

The first track, 'The change inside of me' brought tears to my eyes.

Te opening line of the title track 'Spoken for' moved me - 'take this world from me... to hear u say this one's mine ...'

The track Crazy, shook me, very deep - 'how can I find hope in dying ?'.

The track 'Word of God Speak' is just too inspiring - these boys are really devoted to their God.

The track 'Love of God' is purely devotional. His love 'reaches to the lowest hell' indeed - what a mighty God we serve !!

All in all a great album, composed of really deep lyrics. May the Lord continue to bless these unlikely lads. Amen.

This is one of my favorite cd's right now. Every song is worth listening to...just press play on track one and let it go. Money well spent. I like how it isn't too preachy but still gets the point across.

I recently discovered Mercy Me's wonderful debut CD. I loved it so much I was anxious to get my hands on this one. I'm very pleased to report it's just as wonderful as the first.

The first single released to radio and best song on here is "Word of God Speak." While it was not as big as "I Can Only Imagine" was for their last project, I find it more powerful. It's a quiet prayer to be filled with God and His word.

This song is the first of three songs in a row that I just love. They completely change moods with the much more upbeat "Your Glory Goes On." Then they do a new version of one of my favorite hymns, "The Love of God."

While these songs may come late in the disc, that doesn't mean the earlier tracks aren't great. The disc starts talking about "The Change Inside of Me" when I became a Christian. "All the Above" reminds us to constantly live in the joy we shared with Heaven as new Christians. And "Crazy" meditates on the contradictions of the Christian life. The chorus caught my ear right away, and it's quickly becoming another favorite.

The only song I'm disappointed in is the final song. "All Because of This" talks about why Christians do what they do. The problem is how short it is. I'm ready for a second verse about the time they are ending.

Any fan of the first disc will love this disc, too. In just a few short months, Mercy Me has moved onto my list of must buy artists. I can't wait for their next release.

I enjoyed this one very much, some very melodic pieces paired with some really strong rock feeling songs.

A good buy.
