‘Lamb of God’ was recorded live at The Mission in San Juan Capistrano, a settlement founded in 1776 and recognized as the birthplace of Orange County. Matt Redman’s new album reflects on the age-old centrality and wonder of the cross. The contrast of these brand-new songs in the context of a historical place of worship is a significant marker of Redman’s heart to keep the people of God singing to Him. The album’s title track encapsulates its concept, reminding the Church that among so many amazing sights in this world, the greatest wonder will always remain the Lamb of God on Calvary.

Lamb Of God Reviews| Posted May 23, 2023
Album opener "The Praise is Yours" sets the tenor for the record. These songs, as Redman unapologetically proclaims, are about God and his glory. Nothing brings God greater glory than when we sing about the Cross of Jesus. "Son of Suffering" (formerly cut by Bethel Music as it is co-written by Redman and Bethel's Brian Johnson) is such an example cubes 2048. Calling us to stand in amazement at the foot of the Cross is Redman's first collaboration with Bethel's David Funk. Title cut "Lamb of God's" ultra-catchy chorus and the awe-inspiring lyrics have a way of circling inside our hearts long after the music stops.
It doesn't take long before one gets absorbed into the worship of "Love is This." Augmenting phrases from the hymn "What Can Wash Away my Sin" with "the blood, the blood, the blood," Redman and May Angeles bring out the sacrifice of Jesus with such a rejuvenated punch. The album's highpoint has to be the pop-centric single "Halfway Empty." Reminding us that we cannot exhaust God's grace, this is the type of songs that will grow our faith.
