Moen's first album for Hosanna! Music, Give Thanks, became the label's bestseller.

On an Asian tour in 1999 he recorded The Mercy Seat at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore and Heal Our Land at Yoido Park in South Korea, which was released in 2000. One of Moen's albums, I Will Sing, was recorded at Christian Broadcasting Network.

The title song was written for his wife's sister and her husband, who lost their oldest son in an auto accident while three other children were seriously injured.
