Infobox

Please remove the "Chronology" parameter form the infobox; thanks
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

Add the year 2000 in parentheses after the title of the book The Prayer of Jabez please
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Background and composition

Paragraph 1

Again, please add the year 2000 in parentheses after the title of the book The Prayer of Jabez so it appears exactly as so: "The Prayer of Jabez (2000)"
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- No source for the sentence that describes where the song was recorded; please add one
  - Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 2

Looks good! :D
- Great! Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reception and chart performance

If you wanted, I would even turn this into two separate sections
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 1

The 'm' in "Allmusic" needs to be capitalized
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any other reviews available this section is quite small; perhaps some album reviews that include this track?
- I worked extensively on the album this song is on, Almost There, and out of those I got the reviews mentioned here. I could only find one more review, from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Almost-There-MercyMe/dp/B000062Y7I). Is that reliable or no? Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Toa Nidhiki05: Yes! That one is reliable! Carbrera (talk) 19:21, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph 2

Nothing to say here! :)

Credits and personnel

Remove the parentheses around "Credits from the album liner notes"; it's unnecessary
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Unlink "MercyMe", they are already linked several times in this article
- done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Charts

Looks good

Other notes

Mainly, please take care of the copyright notice at the header of the article
- Frankly not sure what to do with it. The copyright justification used on the song File:Bless Me Indeed.ogg is standard. There's nothing wrong with it - it's low-quality, less than 10% of the song, etc. The only reason it is tagged is I had a user come through and decide to tag several of my pages at good article for whatever reason . His justification here was "Incomplete non-free use rationale. Picky, but this is at GAC". Pretty sure I can't remove the notice myself. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Add an "External links" section that includes a MetroLyrics link to the official lyrics of the song
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The category "Debut singles" could be added since this is technically MercyMe's debut single
- Done. Toa Nidhiki05 18:51, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

End of GA Review:

A very short article, but with great depth and good use of resources. I will place on hold for seven days to allow the nominator to make any changes, good luck! Carbrera (talk) 01:08, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
