His songs convey a profound revelation of God's grace and majesty - his title track describing the sinfulness of man in the face of the holiness of God.

 

In the songs ‘Redemption’ and ‘Forever I’ll Proclaim the Cross’, we catch a glimpse of the influence of hymn writers such as Charles Wesley in the bold, prosaic lyrics set to powerful melodies and in his shamelessness in declaring the Cross of Christ. Matt exhorts the church in ‘Like Stars’- urgent lyrics set to a massive tune with plenty of gutsy guitar and percussion work. Matt's talent for writing more upbeat rock songs is furthermore demonstrated in the well-structured songs: ‘Hiding Place’ and ‘Jesus, Lord of All’.

 

The acoustic tracks such as ‘Nothing Could Compare’ and ‘There’s No Other’ reveal the more personal, devotional side to Matt's songwriting; their raw presentation expressing his heart for God.

 

Matt is supported on this production by some very fine musicians including well established classical performers, who have also featured on other contemporary Christian works, and also by Nexus graduates.
