Christ is Risen--Matt Maher
That first day I stepped into a Catholic church, skeptical and even a little scared, I was met with music. It wasn't traditional organ music. In fact it was a rock band. I know there is a lot of controversy over what kind of music is appropriate during the Holy Mass. But, I will tell you, I'm not sure I would have kept coming to the Church that I now love with my whole heart and soul if it hadn't been for the music that first introduced me to its Truth. These days, I love traditional music during a solemn mass, but I will also always have special place in my heart for the charismatic music of a youth mass.
Matt Maher was a music minister at the first Catholic Church I attended (for three years). To this day, his music calls me home. I'm so happy to hear that Matt has been nominated for this award. I had actually not heard this song until today--I have a few of his early recordings before he had a big record label. We have loved Love has Come, Sophia, Adoration and many others I couldn't find in YouTube. His music has blessed my family for over 8 years now. I hope you are blessed too!
