* Did you know that the
inspiration for "Mercy Said No" came to Greg when he was in church one
Sunday morning? "The pastor was talking about how we deserve the worst--all
that life and death without Christ is--but instead we get heaven," he says.
"Right in the nick of time, when Satan thought he had won, Mercy came in
and stopped the evil; Christ came through for our redemption. When the pastor said, ‘Mercy said NO,’ I was totally enveloped in that
thought. I think it’s incredibly comforting, but it also has somewhat of an
awakening element that reminds us of how much we have to be thankful for." * Did you know that Greg has toured with Kathy Troccoli, Becca Jackson, NewSong, Joy Williams, Jake, Erin O’Donnell, Phat Chance and many more? * Did you know that Greg has done a lot of ministry work in prisons? He says, "I’ve never committed a felony, but the truth is that if I were to die without Christ, and if the folks I talk with in prison die without Christ, we’ll end up in the same place." * Did you know that Greg became a Christian when he was four years old after hearing his dad preach a sermon on salvation? * Did you know that Greg wrote "Mercy Said No" and "We Love You Jesus" around the same time? * Did you know that Greg is married to Janna, 1/4 of the vocal group, Avalon?
