Platinum-selling songwriter John Mark McMillan, who is well known for having written such powerful anthems for the church as "How He Loves" and "King of My Heart," has released his 7th studio album titled Mercury & Lightning. John Mark shares on his social media channels, "Mercury & Lightning is a record about growing up, relinquishing control, and learning to love the life that 'is.' It’s a record about wrestling - wrestling with ideals and realities, wrestling with God and myself. There's not always a resolve, but there’s always hope… and that's a lot like life." These themes are present all throughout the album in songs such as "Wilderlove," "Unhaunted," and the album's title track, "Mercury & Lightning." "Death in Reverse" is another notable anthem, of which John Mark explains, "We all have moments when it feels like you have to almost die to who you were, or who you thought you were, to fully experience the life you have now. The Christian tradition speaks about a 'new birth' and 'taking up your cross.' This song attempts to wrestle with the balance of holding on to both these ideas of life and death at the same time." Mercury & Lightning is now available on iTunes. Download your copy today and find MultiTracks, CustomMixes, and RehearsalMixes for each song from the album here on MultiTracks.com.
