In this video interview Bart Millard shares the heart and story behind their song “Flawless” off their record Welcome To The New. Watch it below!
I think it kind of sums up the message of the album probably better than any other song. If anybody is like me there had to be a point in your life where you were saying “there has to be more than me playing by the rules, there has to be more than what religion tells me there is. There’s gotta be more than me being good and then following these three steps to being a better church goer-there’s gotta be more than that.” And I think the one thing we miss is that grace says “no matter how beat up you are, no matter what you go through in life, no matter how difficult life is, the cross made you flawless.” The day you came to Christ you were made brand new. It’s all in place for the rest of your life. – Bart Millard (MercyMe)

I just want to say we are never to old for Christian praise music in my mind, I am 70 years old and I keep klove on in my car and my husband does in his truck. Music truly speaks to me and when you really listen to the words it is a message from God, and it is so uplifting. In the world that we live in today I feel it is so important to stay focused on him or otherwise it can be so depressing. For many people who do not have Christ this is a very depressing world, especially for our young people who have no hope! It is heart breaking for me to see our young teens so hopeless, with no spark in their eyes! I am a mother, grandmother and a great grandmother , our children are a gift from God and in many cases we need to appreciate them more. This song really speaks to me because there are so scraps and bruises but everyday we are new in Christ and we have to remember this and the cross made it so!
We saw your group about sixteen or seventeen years ago at a concert at Northern University in DeKalb Illinois, and Jeremy Camp was opening for you, you were amazing then and nothing has changed you all are amazing now! God Bless you all and keep on writing!
Thank you for sharing, my daughter now 12yrs old loves your album and knows all the songs and sing in our car & home when she was only 10yr old. And it makes us as a family get connected to the word through the songs.
I am always inspired encouraged and feel blessed expressing who our great is and how the cross has brought light to us. Amazing to drive while listening to the lyrics. May God continue to use you all to continue minister God’s love through gospel music.
