Earlier this year i attended the recording of Matt Redman’s new record ‘10,000 Reasons’ in Atlanta.
Having grown up as a young leader watching Matt lead thousands in worship every summer it was spiritually refreshing to be back under a fresh showering of what i have come to regard over the years as one of our modern day psalmists.
On the first night of the recording as Matt taught us the song ‘Holy’ there was one of those moments, and lasting memories - when the spirit of God falls in the room and you can tell everyone senses it, acknowledges it and then responds. To witness God choose to do that through a song is a special moment. Other songs like ‘10,000 Reasons’, ‘Never Once’, ‘We are the free’ and ‘O this God’ produced a similar response in the room.
When capturing powerful live worship events, there’s always a fear they can be ruined in post production - but Nathan Nockels again produces the special sauce he used for ‘Facedown’ to capture the powerful annointing of these songs, which i believe will trancend to the hearts of many as if they had been there for the recording itself.
The depth of lyric stands shoulder to shoulder with only very few other offerings in the last 5yrs that i can think of. I want so much for this record, even just through one song to add a new color to the fabric of our current worship culture.
It’s fantastic. Pick it up on July 12th.
