10,000 Reasons

“10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)” is a worship song written by British Christian musician Matt Redman and co-written by Jonas Myrin. The song was featured on Redman’s 2011 album “10,000 Reasons,” as well as the Passion Conference album “White Flag” the same year. “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)” was written by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin and is based upon Psalms 103: 1-5. It explores how we can never run out of reasons to worship and praise God. ‘Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits – who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.‘ (NIV) The song is based on the Christian hymn “Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven,” and its lyrics focus on giving praise and thanks to God for his countless blessings and mercies. The title “10,000 Reasons” refers to the many reasons the singer has to bless the Lord, even in difficult times. The melody is simple and catchy, with a repetitive chorus that invites listeners to join in singing and worshiping together. The song features a combination of acoustic and electric instruments, with a driving drumbeat that adds to the energy and intensity of the music.
