‘Lamb of God’ was recorded live at The Mission in San Juan Capistrano, a settlement founded in 1776 and recognized as the birthplace of Orange County. Matt Redman’s new album reflects on the age-old centrality and wonder of the cross.

The contrast of these brand-new songs in the context of a historical place of worship is a significant marker of Redman’s heart to keep the people of God singing to Him. The album’s title track encapsulates its concept, reminding the Church that among so many amazing sights in this world, the greatest wonder will always remain the Lamb of God on Calvary. 

“The best songs help us breathe in truth, and breathe out a grateful, reverent and passionate reply,” Redman says, “I really hope the songs on this album will do that.”

The cruciform focus as well as the ancient and modern styles of worship represented in the 14 tracks make this album one that resonates with the young and old alike. Recording ‘Lamb of God’ in live settings also beautifully captured the devotion of people singing to their God; among the strings and keys textures, the artist intentionally left a lot of sonic room for people’s voices to shine. 

Commenting on the songwriting process, Redman mentions the importance of “aiming for something meaningful and fresh,” which he achieved through co-writes with many of today’s worship landscapers. 

‘Lamb of God’ features contributions from Jason Ingram, Matt Maher, Cody Carnes, Mitch Wong, Benjamin Hastings, and Jon Guerra, as well as people Redman hadn’t written with before, such as David Funk, Aaron Moses, and Taya Gaukrodger.

The theological, musical, and communal heartbeat of ‘Lamb of God’ is topped off by its artwork. The photo depicts an art-piece by artist David JP Hooker from Wheaton College, IL, which Redman’s daughter, Maisey, captured. Hooker took an old corpus statue of Christ which he covered in debris from vacuum cleaner bags – with the thought that in those bags would be people’s skin cells and hair.

The metaphor for our sins placed on Christ resonated deeply with Redman and the essence of his new record. From the brand-new songs to a re-imagining of ‘Heart of Worship’ – Redman’s early classic – ‘Lamb of God’ invites us once again to stand amazed at the greatness and grace of our God. Singing of both the cross and the crown, Matt Redman offers the Church this new collection of profoundly worshipful songs.

Lamb of God – Matt Redman

Matt Redman is a GRAMMY-Award winning worship leader and songwriter who has been a leading contributor to the global Church’s songbook over the last twenty years.

He recently announced a new album, ‘Lamb of God’, introduced with first single ‘Son of Suffering’, which will be part of The Chosen’s third season’s finale.

The new project, Redman’s 17th album, is expected to be the most unique and immersive experience he has done as an artist so far. ‘Son of Suffering’ was penned by Redman alongside worship leaders and writers David Funk (Bethel Music), Aaron Moses (Maverick City Music) and Nate Moore (Church of The City).

It was recorded at the historic Catholic Mission San Juan Capistrano and encapsulates the mysterious beauty of Christ’s blood and tears.

Jonathan Brown, President of Integrity Music, says “It is such an honor and delight for us to champion Matt Redman in his collaboration with The Chosen, and being able to communicate the wonder of Jesus’ love and his solidarity with us in our own pain. Matt’s song ‘Son of Suffering’ encapsulates the mysterious beauty of Christ’s blood and tears, and it mirrors the beautiful mission of The Chosen. ‘Son of Suffering’ carries Matt’s passion to find new ways of singing about the eternally glorious theme of the cross of Christ, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to share this collaboration with the world.”

‘Son of Suffering’ brings remembrance to the Church that Jesus didn’t just look down upon the world’s pain but came down and met us in our struggle. A sense of divine acquaintance with grief and suffering shines through the song, painting a worshipful picture of Jesus’ humility and compassion. The Chosen is the free show that tens of millions of people won’t stop talking about.

A stirring and humorous drama, The Chosen creates an authentic and intimate picture of Jesus’ life and ministry, seen through the eyes of the people who knew him. The series has garnered praise from both critics and fans for its historical and biblical accuracy, playful spirit and disruptive impact.

Currently, Season 3 can be watched on The Chosen app up to Episode 6. The Season Finale (Episodes 7 & 8) will be available to watch at special cinema events beginning on Thursday, 2 February 2023, in cinemas around the US, UK and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand

“Lamb Of God (Live)” is available now to pre-save.

Matt Redman releases ‘The Praise Is Yours’, the second single from his awaited 2023 live album. The new song carries Redman’s signature highly congregational, selfless, and reverential worship.

Recorded at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, CA, ‘The Praise Is Yours’ is steeped in Scripture and seeks to paint a big picture of God in the midst of a culture that pushes away from grandeur and reverence.

The narrative of God’s epic story runs through the song – His creation, the cross, and the life to come – and it is simultaneously saturated by His goodness and glory.

Matt Redman’s heart is to awaken the Church’s heart towards God’s majesty in worship, “We have a lot of ‘me and Jesus, here and now’ songs and there’s nothing wrong with that – in fact, it’s a beautiful thing – but not if that’s all we ever sing,” he explains. “Our songs need to remind us we don’t just worship the God of here, now and today […] but of yesterday, today and forever.” ‘The Praise Is Yours’ was written by Redman alongside Andi Rozier, Travis Ryan, and Joshua Seller.

“The Praise Is Yours” is available now.

‘Son of Suffering’ encapsulates the mysterious beauty of Christ’s blood and tears, as Redman notes that, “as well as taking us to the cross and celebrating how Jesus fought for our salvation there, this song is also about His solidarity with us in our own pain.”

Pursuing the sacred call of helping the Church to sing, Redman hopes that ‘Son of Suffering’ helps illuminate the heart of Jesus to any who sing it.

Matt Redman shares the exciting announcement that he will be releasing his new single titled “Son Of Suffering” later this month (Sept 23). This track will be a preview of his upcoming album.

This year the iconic worship song, “10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord),” written by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin celebrates a decade of impacting the world with its message. Today Worship Together releases the newly recorded 10th Anniversary edition of the song featuring Redman, Pat Barrett, Bryan & Katie Torwalt, Crowder, and Naomi Raine. The song is available here as well as with the lyric video below.

“Just this week I was shown phone footage of a precious family in a Ukrainian city, caught up in the horrors of war,” Matt Redman explains. “Wrapped in winter coats and huddled together in a cold basement, still they sang out their worship – using the song ‘10,000 Reasons’ to give voice to their hearts of faith. It was a humbling video to watch. It’s been a decade now since this simple song was released, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to these kinds of stories. I’ve met some truly astonishing worshippers along the way – people on cancer wards or in the firing line somehow finding their way to the place of praise – and using ‘10,000 Reasons’ as their soundtrack. I love the new 10th-anniversary version that Capitol Christian Music Group has commissioned – and it’s a joy to join friends Pat Barrett, Naomi Raine, Crowder, and the Torwalts on it.”

“It’s the greatest gift as a songwriter being part of a song, a creative journey that is way bigger than yourself,” shares Jonas Myrin. “‘10,000 Reasons’, was one of those gifts. Matt and I wrote this simple hymn in a little chapel in England, and still to this day – 10 years later, I’m still in awe of how God has used and is continuing to use this song around the world. I realized rather quickly that this was not ‘our song’, but it’s become an anthem for people in their personal moments of celebration, praise, and joy, yet also a song of comfort in times of grief, heartbreak, and loss. So let it be so; through it, all, from the morning light to the setting of the sun, with grateful hearts bless the Lord, 10,000 years and then forevermore….”

Since the release of “10,000 Reasons,” the song has received 2x RIAA Platinum certification, two GRAMMY Awards (“Best Contemporary Christian Music Song, Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance”), three GMA Dove Awards (“Song of the Year,” “Contemporary Christian Performance of the Year,” “Pop Contemporary Song,”) and has more than 1.3 billion global streams. Not only has this song impacted worshippers, but the worship leaders and those who are now leading music for the church.

“I knew the first time I heard this song that it wouldn’t be the last,” states Pat Barrett. “Here we are 10 years later, and it’s still as relevant as it is reliable in its ability to cut through the noise and invite us to the table of communion with God. What a gift.”

Bryan & Katie Torwalt share, “It’s hard to believe that it has been 10 years since this song was released. We were Worship Pastors at a church in Central CA when the song came out, and it has been a staple ever since. It’s a simple declaration of worship, and like David in the Psalms taught us to command our souls to praise the Lord! It was an incredible, timely song, that gave the church a new language to lift our praise. We both grew up listening to and leading Matt Redman songs in youth groups, and so to get to sing on this 10-year Anniversary version of this incredible song with him and some of our friends is a huge honor!”
