Matt Redman Releases New Medley "Better is One Day/Facedown"

Matt Redman combines one of his earliest songs, "Better is One Day," inspired by Psalm 84, with "Facedown," to create a heartfelt and fresh worship experience. With an overall theme of reverence and presence, the pairing brings together two songs with the same tempo and key that "fit together beautifully and effortlessly," said Redman, making it his favorite track on his forthcoming live collection album.
At the end of the song, the chorus of "Better is One Day" and bridge of "Facedown" overlap, creating a beautiful call and response moment. Redman hopes this new version will empower congregations to encounter the presence of God.
"We will always need songs of 'encounter' in the Church. There are various dynamics in worship - singing about God or singing to God - but it's essential that alongside these we also embrace the idea of 'encounter' - songs that carry an expectation that as we draw near to God, He will truly draw near to us."

Redman is a GRAMMY®-Award winning worship leader and songwriter who has been a leading contributor to the global Church's songbook over the last 20 years. His journey as a worship leader and songwriter has taken him to countries such as South Korea, South Africa, India, and Australia, as well as travelling through much of Europe. Along the way he has sung in venues such as Madison Square Garden, Berlin's Olympic Stadium, and the Royal Albert Hall in London, and has recorded in the iconic studios Abbey Road and Capitol Records.
Originally from England, Redman currently resides in California with his wife Beth and their five children. Beyond music, he is the author of seven books on worship and also hosts the WOR/TH podcast - pursuing healthy worship and theology in our songs and services.
Coming Back to the Heart, will officially be his 20th album release.
