“You can’t have worship without wonder,” says world-renown worship leader and songwriter Matt Redman. “Otherwise, it’s something lesser, like appreciation or adoration. When it comes to true worship, there has to be that element of wonder.” Let There Be Wonder, released in January 2020 with Integrity Music, is the GRAMMY®-Award winning songwriter’s thirteenth full-length album and fifth live-recorded album. It is a timely offering in a Christian culture that relies on worship music as formative to theology and yet sometimes might perhaps trade in the reverence of God for something lesser. If worship music is shaping our image of God, then our songs must reflect both his holiness and love, his mercy and majesty, his nearness and mystery. Redman artfully portrays this balanced character of God in his new, 12-song collection. The live recording, which took place in October at the Redmans’ home church, Free Chapel in Orange County, was equally collaborative with co-writers singing on stage with Redman and an audience full of worship groups like The Circuit Riders from Youth with a Mission (YWAM), Saddleback Worship, and worship teams from Mariners Church, Harvest, and Calvary Chapel, and others. Redman says one of the best moments of the night was when he brought up Latin and South American-based worship leader Evan Craft, who co-led a Spanish-English bilingual version of the song “We Praise You.”
