Default I can Only Imagine (Mercy Me Song)

Here is a song from Mercy Me, "I can only Imagine"
Amplification is through Fishman Performer Amp(guitar & vocals)
Guitar is Rainsong Carbon Fiber H DR1000 (fishman prefix + T)
Strings- Martin Retro -custom light 11-52

This song I play every time I gig out and it is received very well no matter the venue. Thanks to Bart Millard of Mercy Me for bringing us this great song of hope.

Great job ! One of my favorites. I like the sound of the E chord in the 7th fret, and the subtle note changes. Trying to figure that out in the correct order. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Glenn! If you get a chance to catch the movie, it is a wonderful story about, music, life, death, love and redemption. J. Michael Finley, Dennis Quaid, Trace Atkins play great roles in the movie.

If you watch the original version of the video, you'll see Jesse Katina looking at a picture of his mother at around the 1:38 mark. He's married to my sisters' daughter. He's in the Katinas, which is a Contemporary Christian group. They are five brothers who were born in Samoa.

Nicely done - I genuinely enjoyed that. Also sets the mood for me as my wife and I will be seeing Mercy Me in concert this weekend.

Thank you for posting.

Thanks for sharing! Great song. I’ve played this one at home many times but have never played it out on a gig.

I’m curious, but don’t want to stir up a
“religion debate”.... I wonder if playing this one at my public gigs (bars, clubs, restaurants) would be problematic. It’s become a very popular song. And many popular songs reference Jesus. I play Fire and Rain which does.. Doobies’ Jesus is Just Alright. The list goes on.

Opinions?

I Can Only Imagine is written in such a way as to be considered an anticipatory prayer. I would suspect it not be well-received in certain circumstances.
Maybe I'm wrong.
