John Mark McMillan recently debuted a brand new single from his upcoming album Mercury & Lightning, which releases on August 4. "Enemy, love." takes an honest look at anxiety and our struggle for control. John Mark shares, "It seems like so often the very things we do to protect or hold onto what we love ends up stealing them from us. See, my attempts to control the universe only create enemies. Enemies with the world, with people, enemies with the ones I love, and I find myself at odds with God and with myself! Yep - in trying so hard to have IT ALL the way I want it, I become my own worst enemy.
"Enemy, love.," like much of the new record, is about growing up - especially the 'letting go' part of growing up. There are just things I can’t know, I can’t hold, and I can’t control. Not to be irresponsible or dismissive, but I’m realizing when I 'let go' of my ideals and ego, I also become much better at holding onto what I actually have - And that's beautiful." "Enemy, love." is now available on iTunes. Download your copy today and pick up the MultiTracks here on MultiTracks.com
