Singer/Songwriter/Worship Leader Matt Maher’s 12-track Empty & Beautiful, which releases April 8, 2008, includes songs that are both corporate and reflective; driving and soft; each one telling the story from a different perspective. Maher describes the heart behind his Essential Records debut, "The realization of our own emptiness without God is both a moment of sadness, and a window to joy, which opens to something so much bigger and more beautiful than ourselves. To lay down one’s life for the Gospel in service of God and neighbor, is a reflection of the beauty of God. That is our charge as Christians, and that is where these songs came from."

WYD 2008

Matt, My first WYD was in Australia. We just returned home and one of the highlights of my experience in Australia is listening to your music. You are truly an inspiration to all groups of all ages. May God continue to bless you through your music and everything you do.

simply beautiful

Reviewer:

my favorite M.M. album to date. so many powerful and inspirational songs: Like A Fool; For Your Glory; Shine Like The Sun; and a song so good - Your Grace Is Enough - that CCM great Chris Tomlin covered it. M.M. is also amazing at his slower, prayerful songs which are here too: Empty and Beautiful; Leave A Light On and the simple but profound Lay It Down. But by far, As It Is In Heaven is the treasure of this CD. If you buy it only for this song, buy it and discover the talent that Matt Maher has been graced with.
