Yet again, Matt Maher exceeds my expectations. Compared to a lot of Christian music, his is truly inspired, and his lyrics really demonstrate how devoted he is to his faith. If you like his music, make sure to find out the background to why he wrote each individual song. This guy doesn't just write cute lyrics to go with catchy tunes. Praise God for your talent and devotion Matt, and keep up with the work! The truth of Matt Maher's lyrics stands out at the forefront of this remarkable album. There are none of the cliche's and overused lyrics that often clutter Christian music on display here. From the quietest moments on the album such as the acknowledgement on "Heaven And Earth" (the song from which the album gets its title) that "You're All I Need" through to the blessed hope of all the saints in "The Spirit And The Bride": "Amen! Amen! Come Lord Jesus, come again!" Matt's love for Christ and the Church he has given us rings out. Having really enjoyed every album Matt has released up to this point, I have loved seeing the growth in his songwriting and song-style in this new album. While his first 4 albums had a very strong "praise and worship" feel to all of the music, we began to see him pull away from this slightly with some songs on "Alive Again" having a far more mainstream appeal. This growth has reached a new height in "The Love In Between", with a collection of songs that show a distinct love for contemporary rock with a slight country tinge to it! While "Overflow" remains the Matt Maher album that reaches me most up to this point, largely due to the strong connections it has to the beauty of Catholic worship in the Mass, "The Love In Between" is a beautiful album with a collection of songs that talk about our Christian life and how Jesus is the Love between Heaven and Earth. Beautiful in its production, orthodox in its message and a gift to christian music and the music world at large, I would recommend this album to anyone who has enjoyed Matt's music up to this point, and to anyone who enjoys contemporary Christian Rock.
