Check out MercyMe's amazing performance video for their song ‘Oh Death.’ The song reminds us that death has no power over those who belong to Jesus. Its uplifting beat brings rejoicing and dancing!

‘You said my fate was sealed, you said my days were numbered
Case closed with no appeal, my future’s six feet under
Messing with my head in ghost fashion, my heart was holding its breath
Terrified of taking my last one, oh death you scared me to death’

What a fantastic and joyful song! ‘Oh Death’ was mostly written by country singer Walker Hayes, and then he sent it to MercyMe’s Bart Millard to help him complete it. 

“The song already lended itself to being what it is sonically the way Walker started writing it. We didn’t need to reinvent what he had started. We just needed to finish it,” shared MercyMe during an interview. “As far as it being joyful, a joyful look at something that we can all get caught up in, you know, the fear of death. We always try to bring joy into things, because we have so much to be joyful about, and I think the song reflects that.”

Two weeks after receiving the song from Walker Hayes, Bart Millard’s father-in-law passed away, which made the lyrics of ‘Oh Death’ all the more poignant for him.

“He was my hero,” Bart said of his father-in-law, who died at age 84. “If you were blessed to know Frank, your life was better for it. I’m not sure how we’re supposed to do life without him, but we will. He’d want nothing less. ‘Never stop telling people about Jesus,’ he’d always say to me. He laid a foundation my family will forever build on.”

What a great song with a wonderful message. We hope you enjoyed listening to ‘Oh Death’ today!
