MercyMe’s newest song, “Make It Well,” comes from a deeply honest place—one many of us know all too well. Inspired by the timeless hymn “It Is Well,” the song reflects the tension of faith when life doesn’t feel resolved. Instead of declaring everything is fine, “Make It Well” is a prayer from the middle of the struggle. It acknowledges pain, uncertainty, and unanswered questions while still choosing to trust God with the outcome. It’s a reminder that faith doesn’t require us to have it all together—it simply invites us to bring our broken places to Him and ask for healing.
The newly released music video visually captures that heart posture, reminding viewers that God is present even when restoration is still in process. Whether you’re walking through grief, disappointment, or just the weariness of everyday life, “Make It Well” meets listeners right where they are. It’s a song for the waiting, for the hoping, and for those learning to trust God one day at a time.
Adding even more depth to the moment, “Make It Well” is connected to MercyMe’s upcoming film, I Can Only Imagine 2, coming to theaters February 20th. The sequel continues the powerful true story behind the band, exploring what happens after success—when faith is tested, relationships are stretched, and God continues to write the story in unexpected ways. Just like the song, the movie points to the ongoing journey of faith, reminding us that God isn’t finished yet. Together, the music and the film invite us to trust Him—not just with the ending, but with every step along the way.

Synopsis
After the breakout success of the song “I Can Only Imagine,” MercyMe’s Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) is living the dream—sold-out arenas, a devoted fan base, and a thriving career. But behind the spotlight, Bart’s past threatens the family he’s built, especially the fragile bond with his son, Sam (Sammy Dell).
When hopeful newcomer Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia, “This Is Us”) joins the band for their biggest tour yet, he unknowingly brings a renewed gratitude to Bart’s life through their unlikely friendship. Bart soon discovers that Tim carries hardships—and secrets—of his own, forcing him to face his past and repair his relationships with Sam and his wife, Shannon (Sophie Skelton), before fame costs him what matters most. Based on the heartfelt true story behind the hit single “Even If,” I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2 is the inspiring next chapter of faith, family, and finding God in the fire.
Directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle, written by Brent McCorkle, and starring John Michael Finley, Milo Ventimiglia, Sophie Skelton, Arielle Kebbel, Sammy Dell with Trace Adkins and Dennis Quaid.
