Irish singer/songwriter Nathan was signed to Kingsway while supporting Casting Crowns and this is his first single, released as a download only and supported by a lyric video. Nathan has got a grip on his song emotionally - the lyrics are strong and he sings them as if he means them. The words proclaim redemption but in a reflective way. Brilliant for Easter, I'd say. His music training shows through in the interesting harmonies he uses for the catchy chorus (lots of Hallelujahs. There is an interesting arrangement here: some vocal harmony, a glock, a string section and the song would work with a congregation. He is currently touring with Ben Cantelon and I imagine a live version would bring out the depth of the song.
