Overflow

It exceeds every expectation
Matt Maher's album exceeds every expectation. As one industry insider put it, it "crackles with energy." A musical testament to God's overflowing blessings, these 14 songs speak powerfully of what it means to be Christian in the third millennium.

Cool, playful, driving sound
The title track is a cool, easy-paced piece inviting God -- in his word and sacramental presence -- to overflow in us. Bursting with joy, "Resurrection Day" jumps and hops. Its playful, driving sound and unforgettable refrain draw you in to savor the freedom Christ won for us.

A breathless, thrilling ride
Matt really cuts loose on "Everything You've Done." A celebration of God's gifts, it starts out innocently enough. But suddenly he doubles its two-beat rock tempo and you're whisked away on a breathless, thrilling ride that ends with a flurry of guitars and musical fireworks. You can't help but "dance for the Lord."

Lush, alternative-rock arrangements
"Timeless" is a brilliant adaptation of Suzanne Toolan's "Jesus Christ, Yesterday, Today and Forever." Matt weaves the refrain from that haunting, Taizé-style song into his own lush, alternative-rock arrangement.

Intense, full-blooded covers
Two of the biggest surprises are "Come to the Water" and "Adoration." You just wouldn't expect to find "Tantum Ergo," a traditional eucharistic hymn, and a 1978 John Foley song here. But Matt pulls it off -- and then some. His intense, electric, full-blooded versions take these classics to a new level -- without squandering any of the original reverence.

Pop masterpieces
"Hear and Now" is a pop masterpiece assuring us that God's kingdom is here "in our midst," not some pie in the sky. Opening with a wispy, acoustic guitar, "Unwavering" eases you in to rest in God's "unwavering hand."

With Overflow, Matt's visionary songwriting once again leads listeners closer to the heart of God.
