 **Matt Redman Supports The Chosen 

with New Song release**

 

Matt Redman, the two-time Grammy Award-winning English Christian singer-songwriter, will be exclusively re-releasing his song ‘Son of Suffering' globally at cinemas prior to the screenings ofThe ChosenSeason 3 finale on Thursday 2 February in 2,000+ cinemas globally.

 

Redman has released 16 albums and is best known for his two-time Grammy Award-winning single, "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)". Co-written with Jonas Myrin, the single reachedNo. 1 on the US BillboardChristian Songs chart in 2012.

 

Redman's single 'Son of Suffering', from his new album Lamb of God, is expected to be the most unique and immersive experience Redman has done as an artist. The song was penned by Redman alongside worship leaders and writers David Funk (Bethel Music), Aaron Moses (Maverick City Music) and Nate Moore (Church of The City). It was recorded at the historic Catholic Mission San Juan Capistrano and encapsulates the mysterious beauty of Christ's blood and tears.

 

Jonathan Brown, President of Integrity Music, who represent Matt says"It is such an honor and delight for us to champion Matt Redman in his collaboration with The Chosen, and being able to communicate the wonder of Jesus' love and his solidarity with us in our own pain. Matt's song ‘Son of Suffering' encapsulates the mysterious beauty of Christ's blood and tears, and it mirrors the beautiful mission of The Chosen. ‘Son of Suffering' carries Matt's passion to find new ways of singing about the eternally glorious theme of the cross of Christ, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to share this collaboration with the world."

 

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.
