Matt Weeks

Matt Weeks, Keiko Ying
This is a song written with my wonderful friend Keiko Ying. It was an attempt to write one of those simple songs of worship in the vein of those Cutting Edge and early Matt Redman songs that so impacted many of us back then! I'm really pleased with how it turned out and the amazing job Keiko did getting the lyrics 'just right'. Thanks also to Reuben and Eve who drummed and sang on the recording and made it much nicer to listen to!
This song will be different every time and may not always include all the verses above. It is designed to incorporate suggestions from those gathered. Here are a few ideas that show how you could take the song in different directions: Let your kingdom come. Father, hear our prayer. How I love you, Lord. Comfort those who mourn.
There are lots of great opening songs that focus on attributes of God (his greatness, his faithfulness, his holiness, etc.) but not so many that focus explicitly on Christ. I wanted to write something in an up-tempo, contemporary style that carries the Christ-exalting richness of passages like Colossians 1 and Philippians 2. The three verses intertwine the story of our salvation with the story of Christ’s eternal glory, while the chorus lifts for a big, worshipping response.
