Worship songs can't just be rooted in culture - they won't be deep enough. They have to be rooted in scripture.
Matt RedmanAnd on that day when my strength is failing; the end draws near and my time has come. Still my soul will sing Your praise unending ten thousand years and then forevermore
Matt RedmanIn heaven we will sing free of all the shame, sickness and sorrow that we encounter in the here and now.
Matt RedmanIt's such a biblical posture in worship that speaks of reverence. If you look through the Bible, there's a whole host of people who faced up to the glory of God and found themselves facedown in worship. So the album weaves through a theme of reverence, wonder, and mystery in worship, things I feel we really need to grasp more of in our worship expressions. I know that I do!
