10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)

I recently discovered the song 10,000 reasons by Matt Redman in a similar situation to those he describes in this book. \\r\\n\\r\\nI was asked to sing and play at the funeral of a dear friend and this was the song they requested for the final farewell. \\r\\n\\r\\nAcross Christian denominations, the simple and profound message to always be blessing the Lord, even in the hardest moments, is communicated beautifully in the lyrics of this song. \\r\\n\\r\\nThis book tells the stories of this song, and others by Matt Redman. Since its release, Redman has received messages from thousands of people, each with particular testimonies about how the song has touched their situation. Not all of the stories have happy endings, but all of the stories end with joy in the Lord. \\r\\n\\r\\nRedman speaks of the response across the world to its melody, its words, and its impact on hearts. \\r\\n\\r\\nFrom death row in Indonesia, to Nashville, to Sydney Australia; 10,000 reasons has been touching hearts. Redman tells the story of how the song was written, and how it seemed to flow effortlessly early one morning. I read this book in about two hours and would highly recommend it.
