Saturday, June 11th, 2005
Songwriter and artist-worshiper Matt Redman is set to release his first collection of key worship songs entitled Blessed Be Your Name: Songs of Matt Redman Vol. 1 on July 19. The project is a compilation of Redman’s top CCLI songs together for the first time. Seven songs on Blessed Be Your Name penned by Redman currently appear on the Top 200 CCLI chart, including “The Heart of Worship,” “Better Is One Day” and “Let Everything That Has Breath.” Also featured on the project is the title track “Blessed Be Your Name,” which earned Redman his first GMA/Dove Award this year for Worship Song of the Year.
“I can look back on the past few years of writing songs and see what God has been doing in my life,” says Redman. “It’s a bit like journaling. It’s just part of me and it’s how I let my heart overflow before God. But on top of that, when you’ve poured out your heart to God in a little room somewhere, and then one day you visit a church in another country and they’re singing
your song, it’s a great encouragement because ultimately that’s what the songs are for.”
