INFORMATION
In 2002, he released his debut album Hope Anthology, Volume 1. In 2005 he released The Song Inside: The Sounds of Breaking Down, which included the track “How He Loves”. The song was successful despite the album’s independent release, and has been covered by several well-known artists within the Christian music industry including the David Crowder Band. The song has sentimental meaning for McMillan, who wrote it following the death of a dear friend who, during a church staff meeting, prayed out loud “If it would shake the youth of a nation, I will give my life today.” McMillan was awakened in the middle of the same night by a phone call; the friend had been killed in a car crash. The song took more than a year to surface in the Christian mainstream, but has gone on to become a commonly played worship song on Christian radio and throughout church organizations.
