"Say I Won't" - The Story Behind The Song

"Say I Won't."

Words of defiance and determination.

Also the title of a song from my favorite group, Mercy Me. When my wife and I went to the group's concert in October we walked away agreeing it might have been the best concert we'd ever attended. It was a terrific show without being showy. The attention was all on Jesus.

But when "Say I Won't" was performed ... wow.

I kind of knew what was coming. I knew the back story of the song and, at the concert, the group played a video roll in which was short and set the stage (literally) for the song. For anyone who has been told they can't accomplish something, great or small, this song is four plus minutes of, "Oh yeah?!? Say I won't!"

I have layered several videos here ... the back story, the song, and an ABC Good Morning America piece.

By the way ... it's the story of Gary Miracle (yes, that's his name). Fitting.

Spoiler Alert: Yes, Gary is now walking.
