Sometimes a musical artist becomes known for a signature song. Canadian-born Matt Maher may have found that piece with his rendition of āBecause He Lives (Amen).ā The chart-friendly song appears on Maherās latest CD,, but that might be the cakeāthere is plenty of icing too.
This is a solid work filled with reflection, hope, and grace. Musical styles include folk, country, and a little rock. The song āGlory Boundā offers grace to the downtrodden as well as a catchy, rock-filled tune.
Maher wrote all the songs with the assistance of some popular Christian songwriters, including Jason Ingram, Bill and Gloria Gather, David Crowder, and Matt Redman. In the end, this is an album for both the sinner and the saint in all of us. (Essential)
