New single for worship man Matt Maher
GRAMMY-nominated worship leader Matt Maher has released a new single "Your
Love Defends Me". Said Maher, "This song comes out of Psalm 91 and the
idea of God being not a refuge, but our ONLY refuge. I think we can
all relate to moments in our lives where who we were (or who we'll
become) comes crashing to the forefront of who we are, and all of a
sudden there's this fight happening inside for who gets control - the
past or the future or the present moment now. When you combine that
with a social media context that is always recording and documenting
everything, it lives on in perpetuity either as an accusation or as a
testimony. To put it simply - evil is in the business of accusation
but God is in the business of raising up testimony - of who he is and
what he's done. This song talks about how God is a defender. How the
love of God is not just a defence, but it's really the only defence we
have that can stand against the inconsistency of ourselves. God is
your defence and what he says about you is what matters. That's what
stays."
