    Behind The Song: MercyMe Shares The Story Behind Their Song “Best News Ever”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 1 comment | 11 September, 2018 | 4

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from the MercyMe. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Best News Ever.”

    “I will honestly say it’s one of my favorite messages on the record. It’s the way I grew up which was ‘be all you can be, you get what you deserve and work harder and try harder.’ And It’s like wait a minute, what if somebody (which somebody did), but what if they came and told me ‘hey the works already done the fights already been won you don’t have to try so hard.’ That’s what makes the Gospel not just the good news but the best news ever.” – Bart Millard (MercyMe)

    From the album Lifer.

    “Best News Ever” Lyrics

    Some say don’t give up
    And hope that your good is good enough
    Head down keep on working
    If you can earn it you deserve it

    Some say push on through
    After all it’s the least that you can do
    But don’t buy what they’re selling
    It couldn’t be further from the truth

    CHORUS
    What if I were the one to tell you
    That the fight’s already been won
    Well I think your day’s about to get better
    What if I were the one to tell you
    That the work’s already been done
    It’s not good news
    It’s the best news ever

    Some say don’t ask for help
    God helps the one’s who help themselves
    So press on get it right
    Otherwise get left behind

    Some say He’s keeping score
    So try hard then try a little more
    But hold up if this were true
    Explain to me what the cross is for

    CHORUS

    So won’t you come
    Come all you weary and you burdened
    You heavy ladened and you hurting
    For all of you with nothing left
    Come and find rest
