I can only imagine what it will be likeWhen I walk, by your sideI can only imagine what my eyes will seeWhen you face is before meI can only imagine

If you listen to Christian music (and perhaps even if you don't), chances are you know this song well. Since it's release in 1999, it has become the most played Christian song, and even crossed over onto both pop and country charts... let's be honest, that doesn't happen often.

I remember hearing the song when it first came out. I was 12 years old, and had not yet started listening to Christian music, but it played on the stations that we listened to regularly anyway. It had such a power to touch people that it crossed over all those genre limits. While I would not truly start listening to Christian music regularly for another five years or so, it truly was this song that made me realize that there was more to Christian music than those old hymns we sang in church.

Like I said... we ALL know the song, but what about the story behind the song? Now, we can get the whole story with the movie of the same title:

Dennis Quaid and Trace Adkins star in this inspiring true story behind MercyMe’s beloved hit song. Running from a troubled home life and a broken relationship, Bart Millard (Finley) found escape in music. Hitting the road in a decrepit tour bus, Bart and his band MercyMe set out on an amazing journey none of them could have ever imagined, in this uplifting, music-filled movie that beautifully illustrates the power of forgiveness and God’s love. 

The home entertainment release of I Can Only Imagine features over 3 hours of extras including 7 deleted scenes, 7 in-depth featurettes, an audio commentary, and more!

If you did not get the chance to watch this movie in theaters, you MUST grab the DVD. Let's be honest, as much as I love Christian and inspirational films, I completely realize that they can have a tendency to be a little cheesy. I don't mind the cheese, but for many, it keeps them from enjoying an otherwise great story. I Can Only Imagine is not like that at all. It features fantastic actors like Dennis Quaid, well respected in the secular movie world. It's not a movie that is great for a Christian movie, it truly is a GREAT movie.

This is a movie that everyone needs to watch and a story that everyone needs to hear. It is the story of forgiveness and the transforming ability of God. For many of us, we may feel that we have done too much in our lives to be forgiven by God and by our loved ones. For others we struggle to do the forgiving... we know that God forgives, we know we are supposed to but putting it into practice? When we have been hurt so deeply? How can we? How can someone truly change that much? This true story is a beautiful example of God at work: transforming an abusive man into a loving father, repairing a broken relationship and using those experiences to touch millions through the power of a song. Pretty amazing, isn't it? And with this movie, even more will be reached, even more will grow to appreciate this beautiful song, and maybe, just maybe even more will be transformed by God. And that's a pretty amazing thing, right?
