Matt Redman - 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

Matt Redman is one of the most prolific modern Christian songwriters. He's written such instant classics as Heart of Worship, You Never Let Go, Never Once, Blessed Be Your Name, Better is One Day, and You Alone Can Rescue, among others. He just happens to be one of my favorites as well. If you haven't heard of Matt you need to take a listen to these other titles.
Having said all that, this is one of my favorites! It opens up quick and begs you to sing along with the chorus at the top of your lungs. Just an awesome worship song to our Creator. I don't know where he got the inspiration but I can only guess from Psalm 103.
David writes,
"Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits" (NKJV)

Re-stated by the NLT,
"Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. 
Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me."
