Matt Redman was was born in 1974 and lived in a home of turmoil. When he was merely 7 years old, his father committed suicide. But his young mind couldn’t understand this then. However, when he was 10 years old, the sadness of his father’s departure destroyed him completely. The man whom his mother had remarried again was very wicked. Soon he (Matt’s step father) was jailed. Matt who was growing with a broken heart, happened to attend an evangelical crusade in England.
The gospel about the love of Jesus healed his broken heart. As his heart was filled with joy, he started reading the Word of God with great zeal. Subsequently he started writing beautiful songs. As he read Psalms 103, he understood that there are ten thousand reasons to praise the Lord.
Through his pen, he gave to the Christian world a beautiful song.
Bless the Lord O my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul, worship His Holy name
One who had sunk in the sadness from a very young age, having met the Lord Jesus started to sing: “I have ten thousand reasons to praise Him”.
What is your beloved more than another beloved,
O most beautiful among women?
My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
Distinguished among ten thousand.
Song of songs 5:9,10
