Sing Like Never Before - Matt Redman

DAY 6 OF 6

Once Again – Philippians 2

I love Brian Doerksen’s description of what makes a great worship song – “a universal theme, expressed in a unique way”. I try and run every song I write through that grid. When it comes to universal themes, there’s none greater than the cross. Every Christian should be regularly reflecting upon and responding to the cross – but often we’ll need a fresh way to voice this. That’s where the “unique way” part comes in. A songwriter needs to try and find melodies and lyrics that will usher people before the place of the cross in a fresh way. 

That’s really where this song came from – a desire to find a new angle to view the cross from. I guess the theme is in the title, “Once Again.” In other words, here I am at the cross again, but the power and wonder of that place never fail to move me. The mystery of that place never wears a thing. So I took some powerful lyrics from Philippians Chapter 2 (thought by most scholars to be a fragment of one the very earliest Christian hymns) – and re-worked them into this offering
