Matt Redman Sings About the Glories of the Cross in a Refreshing Way with "Son of Suffering"

Matt Redman

Multi-award-winning artist Matt Redman returns with new Integrity Music single "Son of Suffering" from his upcoming and yet untitled album. The song was penned by Redman alongside worship leaders and writers David Funk, Aaron Moses, and Nate Moore. "Son of Suffering" encapsulates the mysterious beauty of Christ's blood and tears, as Redman notes that, "as well as taking us to the cross and celebrating how Jesus fought for our salvation there, this song is also about His solidarity with us in our own pain."

The new single brings remembrance to the Church that Jesus didn't just look down upon the world's pain but came down and met us in our struggle. A sense of divine acquaintance with grief and suffering shines through the song, painting a worshipful picture of Jesus' humility and compassion.

"I think that might be a key thing to sing about this... so many people came out of the pandemic lockdown and are still experiencing an unusually tough season," Redman adds. "Son of Suffering" carries on the worship leader's passion to find new ways of singing about the eternally glorious theme of the cross of Christ. Pursuing the sacred call of helping the Church to sing, Redman hopes that 'Son of Suffering' helps illuminate the heart of Jesus to any who sing it. 

Throughout his successful career, he has had numerous songs on CCLI, most recently with two in the top 10 and another 145 on the overall chart. His single "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" is certified RIAA® 2X Multi-Platinum, and the album 10,000 Reasons along with the single "You Never Let Go" are both RIAA® certified Gold. His 2013 hit album Your Grace Finds Me debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan Christian Albums chart and in the Top 30 on the Billboard 200. Unbroken Praise (2015), recorded live at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, hit the Top 20 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart and No. 1 on iTunes and Billboard's Top Christian Albums charts. Redman released Glory Song in 2017, and his first-ever holiday record, These Christmas Lights, debuted in 2016.
