What a powerful song!!! Matt is such a blessing in our church as well. May God use him to usher in the Holy Spirit everywhere he goes 🙏🏽

Man his voice is so impressive, I wish I had such a range but I simply cannot do this song in its original Dm chord, I have to lower it to Am to sing it comfortably. His voice is crazy, he sings the song and does a lot of shouting and he doesn't lose power in his voice for the entire song.
