Matt Maher - Because He Lives

Many readers of this site know that I'm friends with Christian songwriter and worship leader Matt Maher.  Mind you, we're not best friends, but we're friends nonetheless.  He answers my texts once in a while, so in my book, we're friends. :p

He's my favourite worship leader for many reasons.  Ever since I met him in 1995, I've been impressed by his talent, his faithfulness, and his humility.  He’s a brilliant musician, he’s an intelligent writer and storyteller, he has a profound understanding of church, he’s a lot of fun to be around, he’s Catholic, he’s Canadian, he’s been a long-time friend to both the Archdiocese of Vancouver and to me, and we’re the same age.

And I'm even mentioned in the liner notes in his "Empty and Beautiful" CD.  But I digress.

I'm pleased to share with you his brand new song called "Because He Lives".  It is a powerful anthem buoyed by a dynamic arrangement and affirming lyrics. 

Praise God for this inspiring song and inspiring man!
