Review of Matt redman Album 10,000 reasons

Matt Redman 10,000 reasons

This album sounds fresh and vibrant as it has been recorded live. There is something special about this album. There have been plenty of live albums that can sound a bit obvious and overdone. This is often due to the songs already being familiar if not over familiar. 10,000 reasons is not one of those albums. Matt brings his experience and passion to the table. A songwriter probably most known for (heart of worship and Blessed be your name) he has the knowledge of how to write a good song and bring about worshipful intimacy with vibrancy. I appreciate songs that often reflect honesty, Matt’s honesty resonates with our own journey. The stand out songs on this album are in that mode. They combine strong melodies with honest heart felt lyrics. “10,000 reasons (Bless the Lord) is probably the strongest song on the album. It is full of melody and space, “whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes, Bless the Lord oh my Soul, Oh my soul, Worship his holy name, sing like never before, oh my soul worship his holy name.”
“Never once” is another standout track that relates the reality of life to our everyday worship. “scars and struggles on the way, yet our hearts can say, yes our hearts can say, never once did we ever walk alone, never once did you leave us on our own, God you are faithful, God you are faithful.”
This is a refreshing album that brings strong songs to the individual worshipper as well as the worshipping community.
