More about this title

About the Artist: Matt Redman

Matt Redman is a British worship leader and songwriter whose compositions have become standards in contemporary Christian worship settings worldwide. His work is characterized by singable melodies, theologically grounded lyrics, and arrangements that translate across denominational and cultural boundaries, making his songs naturals for choral adaptation.

Why we love this

Heather Sorenson's arrangement captures the infectious joy of the original while making it genuinely achievable for three-part choirs. The SAB voicing sits comfortably across mixed ensembles, and the straightforward harmonic language lets singers focus on the infectious energy and conviction of the text rather than wrestling with complex voice leading.

What to expect

Celebratory and grounded all at once. The melody has an almost folk-like simplicity that makes it memorable and singable, while the harmonic underpinning adds warmth and depth. There's an infectious quality to the piece that builds naturally, creating a moment of genuine uplift rather than manufactured excitement.

Who it's for

This arrangement suits choirs ranging from worship settings to concert ensembles that want to expand beyond traditional repertoire. Singers appreciate music that connects to their own spiritual lives, and this piece delivers that authenticity without demanding advanced technical skills.

How to get the most out of it

  • Keep the opening phrase light and conversational rather than belted; the intimacy of the melody invites listeners in before the energy builds.
  • Balance the parts so the sopranos' melody line remains clear even when accompanied by fuller harmony below.
  • Treat repeated musical phrases as opportunities to deepen the text's meaning rather than coast through familiar territory.
  • Let the rhythm section (if using accompaniment) anchor the groove; singers should feel supported by the pulse rather than fighting against it.

How to use it

This works beautifully as a closer on a mixed repertoire concert, offering a contemporary counterpoint to classical or art song selections. It also fits naturally into worship services or community choral events where accessibility and emotional resonance matter as much as technical sophistication.
