GREAT FILM

My wife and I went to see this movie---it is excellent.
I'm not ashamed to say it brought a few tears to this old man 's eyes.

It is the story behind the song by "Mercy Me" titled "I CAN ONLY IMAGINE."
(A true story)

For those who have never heard this song take a listen

Believer or not---you should see this movie--it's the story of a abusive father and how the boy over came the abuse of his father and found his way.

My daughter also went to see it later at a night.
She said it was sold-out and she had given a few people around her tissues to dry their eyes.

Powerful movie!

I'm sorry. I can't open your link.

The ORIGINAL is from "MercyMe."
Bart Millard (Vocalist from MercyMe) is the one who wrote and is the original singer of the song. (if you see the movie you would know)

The song was first issued as a track on MercyMe's 1999 album The Worship Project, which was released on an independent record label. The song was re-recorded and included on their 2001 major-label debut album Almost There as the fifth song on the album.

2002 Song of the Year – "I Can Only Imagine"

Anything else is a copy.

Here is "Wynonna's" copy
(if that is what is in your link, from about 11 years ago)

In 2002 Amy Grant released a reworked version of the song (titled "Imagine" and paired with "Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus") on her album, Legacy..(Unable to find her original release on video)
Bart Millard had original wanted Amy to have the song,but she gave it back to him

Yes... it was released in 2007.

Did you know that there are MANY ARTISTS that have redone the song?

Here is a small list, just to name a few of them:
Wynonna
Amy Grant
Micheal W Smith
Tamela Mann
Todd Hoffman
J Michael Findley
Diamond Dixie
Nikita
Brad Paisley

and even someone from "The Voice" and "America's got Talent"

ALL OF THEM ARE REMAKES.
