Can MercyMe and Michael Tait Guess 2000s Christian Hits? | Song Battle

[@HmmmmmmmmG]

"It's a Christian song" "Captain obvious" had me dying 🤣🤣🤣

[@jessefirman48]

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” We all deserve to go to hell because we have sinned. But God loved us and gave us His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the punishment of all of our sins for us when he died on the cross. Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and yet God the Son also. God the Father (God)has raised Jesus his son from the dead. JESUS IS COMING AGAIN!!!! Repent of your sins, and believe in who Jesus is and what He did for you and that God the Father has raised Him from the dead and you WILL BE SAVED FROM THE LAKE OF FIRE(hell). Sinner’s prayer Lord, I know I’m a sinner, I believe that you died on the cross in my place of burning in hell forever so I wouldn’t have to go to hell. I accept your sacrifice for me. Please save me from the lake of fire and forgive my sins. Thank you for the gift of eternal life! Amen. Now turn from your wicked ways towards Jesus Christ and surrender your life to Him! If anyone has any questions please ask me! God bless you!😊♥️♥️♥️

Michael Tait got "God of Wonders" just from the live crowd cheers....legend.

[@its_jj_maia]

Well not really the crowd cheers. He probably recognized it from the synth. I mean I would’ve already guessed it by that synth.

[@NoNonsense77]

It was the opening guitar. He very obviously is not listening to everyone's albums. Which is fine. He stated he gas recorded the song thus heard it many times.

Some, songs that aren't christian, don't have explicit content like Backstreet Boys songs or Lifehouse songs, both pop and rock, and, i looked up online and, i noticed that Backstreet Boys' Brian Littrell and Lifehouse's Jason Wade are christians, which is good.

I grew up in the late 2000s and 2010s, and I've been a Christian my whole life, so I can relate

[@MrShortWhiteGuy]

Mike was correct as "God Of Wonders" was recorded under the name City On A Hill, which consisted of Mac Powell of Third Day and members of Caedmon's Call. The song spent 4 weeks at #1 in October & November 2000.

[@NoNonsense77]

Exactly. They played the Third Day live version that Third Day released later.

Maybe it's been so long ago for him, that he just can't remember every single band, artist, song, etc. I'm sure he listens to all genres. He might have felt under pressure, especially being in the Christian music industry for so long.

[@steffendc4302]

Pretty entertaining and nicely done 🙂 Yet, it fills me with sadness that already in the 2000s CCM shifted towards worship songs as you can hear comparing this video with the 1990s editions. I remember when DC Talk was on secular radio stations and listened to by Christian teenagers and their non-Christian friends. CCM has no impact outside the Christian bubble anymore, neither spiritually nor artistically (with very little exceptions)

[@hannahmclaughlin348]

You're not wrong. Honestly, the only artist who isn't even CCM but is gospel, who has worked with secular artists but still remains a Christian and remains in gospel is Kirk Franklin. But there hasn't been better CCM music than the 90's and 00's.

I've been thinking that a Hymn/Praise Song Battle would be really fun. There is lots to choose from.
