Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

MercyMe has been awarded the American Music Award for Favorite Contemporary Inspirational Artist twice, in 2004 and 2010. At the 35th GMA Dove Awards, the band received the awards for Artist of the Year and Group of the Year, while their song "Word of God Speak" received the award for Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year; they also received that award in 2001 with their song "I Can Only Imagine". Their album "Undone" received the award for Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year in 2005. Coming Up to Breathe was nominated for the Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year as well as the Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
