Everyone loves great music. It seems that as the chapters of life are written, each page is marked by a song. Music stirs parts of the soul that are otherwise unreachable. Music causes change. Music inspires generations. Music sparks revolutions.

mercyRISING makes great music.

What began as a group of guys who pulled together as a last minute worship-replacement for a youth rally has become a group dedicated to writing great songs. They are devoted to delivering the message that God is life, and that message is openly conveyed in their music. Their music carries a beat and a message that spans generations.

For four guys from completely different musical backgrounds to have such a natural chemistry might seem odd. But it's a shared passion for honoring God through great music that is the deeper reason for what they do.

mercyRISING calls Ohio home, but they find themselves traveling outside the Buckeye state to share their music with people of all ages and from all backgrounds. Their style is catchy and their energy onstage is contagious.

"We only want to express to people through our music that God is our reason for being, for living, and for what we do," says vocalist Jimmy McLoud. "There is no other, greater reason for anything."

They believe that "real life" should be considered and explored openly and honestly in their music. Songs like "Here Lies Love" and "Waiting for the Sky to Fall" are a testament to their concern for "the least of these." Other tracks like "Magnified" and "Consume Me" simply express their heartfelt gratitude for who God is.

Their live performance is full of energy and has been described as "an experience of being led from the seat you sit down in to the throne room of God. You can't help but sing along."
