To which version of the song is the "Composition" section of the article intended to refer: the sheet-music version, an album mix, or one of the radio mixes? Not sure I've heard every mix that's been published, so there may be a version for which the article's description was accurate; but a couple of musical details are off with respect to the radio version that I've heard literally dozens of times, listened to carefully, and (I'll brag a little) played (by ear) myself. Two items in particular:
1) True that the highest note sung during most of the song is F# above middle C; but in the final, crescendo rendition of the chorus, Millard clearly hits, and sustains, G# above middle C:
MercyMe - "Here With Me" (Pseudo Video) @3:16
2) And "piano-driven"? Hardly. There are electronic-keyboard chords in the opening but nary a note from a piano to be heard anywhere in the song in any band-performed version I could find; the song clearly is guitar-driven, the rather odd assertion in the referenced CCM Magazine write-up notwithstanding. – HelpMyUnbelief ( talk) 07:07, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
