It has been 10 years since MercyMe frontman Bart Millard penned "I Can Only Imagine," a touchingly personal song based on his father's early death. It has sold more than 2 million units, crossed over into multiple radio formats, and been adopted as an anthem by hurting people around the world.

To celebrate the epic anniversary of one of the most popular and powerful songs in Christian music history, MercyMe is releasing "10", a must-have new CD/DVD set. The CD features 12 of MercyMe's best-loved songs spanning their five studio releases as well as three bonus tracks--including a new recording of "I Can Only Imagine" with the London Symphony Orchestra, the never-released track "Only Temporary," plus the kids' tune "10 Simple Rules." The DVD contains both live and concept videos of all their best songs.

The best opinion I can share about this collection comes from my nine year old daughter Natalie as we were watching the DVD together she asked me with intense interest: "they (MercyMe) really wrote and sang all of these songs?" She had heard all twelve `greatest hits', including eleven #1 hit songs before and was surprised that so many hit songs were recorded by the same band. As a fan of this band for the past decade I gladly shared with her that yes MercyMe did in fact write and record all of these songs, making them one of the premier Christian artists. What's amazing to me as a fan of MercyMe is how many songs I love that aren't on the collection including "Here Am I", "Love Of God", "Keep Singing", "You're To Blame" and "Sanctified". This is a truly great collection of songs. I like the mix as well, blending hit songs from "All That Is Within Me" (2007), "Coming Up To Breathe" (2006), "Undone" (2004), "Spoken For" (2003) and "Almost There" (2001). Rather than as a chronology, the songs are mixed almost by theme with songs about self-reflection, praise and worship and then personal prayer-songs.

I also liked the 3 additional songs, however I prefer the original or acoustic versions of "I Can Only Imagine" over the London Symphony version. The other 2 songs are nice rarities and the children's song "10 Simple Rules" is a neat and catchy song about the 10 Commandments. The DVD is also great for collectors. In the same order as the CD, the songs are shown either as live performances or the music video accordingly. The concept video for "Here Am I" is a great depiction of my life verse Isaiah 6:8 and the story behind "I Can Only Imagine" is touching and personal, which is one of the reasons the song has had so much impact on people. If you want all the best songs by MercyMe, then this collection is for you. Even if you already have the songs, get the collection just for the extra songs and the great DVD.

This hard to find three disc cd comes with a never before released concert on cd! It makes this cd a truly solid 10 in my book.

If you are new to Mercy Me this is a great introduction. I am always amazed to think that some of these songs have been around for longer than 10 years. Buy this album along with their new one - The Generous Mr. Lovewell - you will not be disapointed. Excellent music!!

this is great for people who like Contemporary Christian music but seem to have a litle bit of a feeling of more traditional Christian Music

I received this in just a normal package. The contents are all good, in plastic wrap. What else more to say? I didn't listen to it though, it was for a gift to a friend.

A must see DVD- for any Mercy Me Fan. God has Blessed these guys as they continue to serve & Bless Him. Enjoy, and if you get a chance to see them live......DO IT!

Inspiring music from a contemporary Christian music group. Just the right tempo and won't put you to sleep. If you enjoy celebrating Christ you will enjoy this band. Their lyrics are meaningful and their melodies are beautiful. My fav group!

This album by MercyMe is incredible. It has all their hits on there. I am new to Christian music and proudly announce that they are in my top favorites out of every single music choices out there. I really like "Who I Am" by Mercy Me. It's fantastic!

The inspirational songs on this CD will lift the darkest mood and calm the busiest mind. I absolutely recommend it to everyone.

This CD was everything I hoped it would be. Was looking for some music to do
some interpretive dance to and the music was perfect. Lots of their hits that I heard on the radio on this CD. Amazon's tools for helping you buy a CD really
help you make an educated purchase.
