More about this title
About the Composer: Matt Redman
Matt Redman emerged as one of contemporary Christian music's most prolific songwriters, with compositions that have shaped modern worship across denominational and geographic boundaries. His gift for crafting memorable melodies paired with theologically substantive lyrics has made his work a staple in church music education and congregational singing for over two decades.
Why we love this
Heather Sorenson's orchestration captures the soaring energy of this modern hymn without sacrificing the intimacy that makes it resonate with congregations. The arrangement respects the strength of Redman's melody while offering your choir genuine musical substance to sink their teeth into, and the orchestral palette gives you real flexibility in how you present it acoustically or electronically.
What to expect
The piece radiates gratitude and affirmation. Sorenson's orchestration builds momentum through repetition and layering, creating an emotional arc that feels earned rather than manufactured. The sustained energy across nearly five minutes creates a meditative quality despite the song's celebratory character.
Who it's for
Directors programming contemporary Christian repertoire who need something with both congregational familiarity and genuine choral musicality. Choirs comfortable with modern idioms and sound reinforcement will find the orchestral arrangement a natural fit for worship services, outreach events, or special music offerings.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the choir's entrance so the orchestration supports rather than overwhelms; these contemporary songs thrive when the text remains intelligible and forward-moving.
- Shape the melodic phrases with attention to the harmonic shifts Sorenson provides; resist the temptation to sing it as straight congregational style despite its accessibility.
- Let the rhythm section lock early in rehearsals; the groove of the accompaniment will settle your singers into confident, unified delivery.
How to use it
This works powerfully as a closing anthem in a contemporary worship service or as a standalone feature in a choral concert. It also functions well as the emotional centerpiece of a program pairing contemporary and traditional repertoire, offering audiences a bridge between styles.
Skills your students will build
- Singing with consistent rhythmic groove in contemporary idioms
