Death
Like Yours

Written through a painful season, Matt’s new song brings honest questions to Christ and rests in the resurrection hope of Romans 6.

Suffering, surrender, and the hope of new life.

Come hear the song. Stay for the story behind it.

Before the recordings

The songs began
in the room.

Long before the studio, Matt was serving the local church, leading from guitar and keys, writing with his community, and learning what a song can carry when a room sings it together.

Nearly a decade of worship ministry shaped a songwriter who does not begin with a trend. He begins with prayer, the Psalms, and the life unfolding directly in front of him.

Scripture in hand.
A melody taking shape.

Word before noise

Songs shaped by Scripture rather than the pressure to perform.

Church before platform

Music created to be carried by real people in worship.

Truth with a pulse

From quiet folk prayers to confident rock declarations.

The heart beneath the music

Build up the Body.
Confess the Word.
Glorify God alone.

Matt’s folk ballads and rock anthems share the same destination: helping the truth of Christ dwell richly in the people who hear and sing them.

Psalm 1 · The rooted life

Blessed is
the man.

The first version lived as a voice memo for years. When a season changed and the road became disorienting, the Psalm’s promise became more than a lyric: the Lord still knew the way.

“Planted by the water. Fruitful in its season.”

Psalm 61 · From a cry to praise

Lead me to
the rock.

A quiet moment with a guitar and Psalm 61 opened into a song of refuge. What begins overwhelmed rises toward joyful praise and toward Jesus, the eternal Son of David.

When life comes apart

Faith doesn’t
skip the
hard times.

This song does not pretend the slow, dark and confusing seasons are easy. It names them and thanks God for the way He searches the heart, shows up, and proves faithful again.

Redeemer.

Working with producer Jake Rye, Matt carried years of local-church songwriting into a focused solo project, moving between “Psalm 19,” “Redeemer,” and songs that had waited patiently to be recorded.
