I like the careful word-craft: "make us a shelter", not 'build us a shelter' and "to weather the storm", not to to protect us from the storm or some such. His love is with through the storm, and often uses brothers and sisters to be present with us in that storm. We advance through life often very weathered and worn, but we, by the Grace of God, are not defeated nor destroyed.
I bet he's tired of singing this, but I hope he will keep on - it's truly a simple but heart-wrenching anthem that I can't get enough of !! Thanks, Matt for such a beautiful song !
Love: will hold us together. make us a shelter to weather the storm, and I'll be my SISTER'S KEEPER so the whole world will know that we're NOT ALONE!!! Even in the dark we can STILL see the LIGHT...it's gonna be ALRIGHT!!!
I saw Matt in concert, and he was amazing, this was like his forth song... and when this song was over, it started to rain, since it was an outside concert, rain wasn't a good thing. But we all just waited it out, and then the concert continued. I just think that it is funny because he says "Make us a shelter to whether the storm" And then it rained. God bless you all!!!
My 8-year-old daughter Alexandria and I are going to sing this song together as a duet in 2 weeks! I love listening to her sing worship songs. We know all of Matt Maher's songs and sing them together in the car. He is so inspiring.
Matt you are outstanding. Loved you when you were at St. Tim's and love you music still. I nearly had a wreck when I was driving and you came on KLOVE (the only radio station I have listened to in 12 yrs). I pulled over in a parking lot and called a friend of mine from RCIA and told her I had just heard you on the radio. You are my favorite Christian Artist and you actually LIVE what you sing about. Keep up the wonderful music and powerful lyrics! KLR Mesa, AZ
I was fortunate enough to belong to St. Timothy's when Matt was singing there. I loved going to mid-week Mass and it was just Matt with usually the piano. Like our own personal concert. I stopped him one night after Mass and told him he had an amazing voice and his lyrics were outstanding. At the time Tom Booth seemed to be getting all the praise..well look where Matt Maher is. I am so proud of him and he is Catholic through and through. Not a Catholic in name only...a devout Catholic. KLR Mesa
Awesome song, we got an awesome God. Incredible talent, good songwriter and great chord progression. Love is amazing, and thank God for his love. Well done matt. Thanks klove for showing live performances. These videos encourage me to pursue music and God,
Every song he's released I've adored they are such good worshipful songs . I think he should end his concerts with this song because he says this is the first day of the rest of your life it's gonna be alright ;)
i heard matt maher the first time on k love and i heard words that sounded like words i knew, his (stories) songs are like he reads our life so thanks klove for letting me know his music
He played this last year at the Midwest Catholic Family Conference and in place of "won't buy you a home in Beverley Hills" he sang "won't buy you a home in Wichita hills". It was cool but there really any hills in Wichita, KS because Kansas is one of flattest states in the US.
Matt is one of those guys like David Crowded. You look at him, and then hear him sing, and you’re like “woah, how can a voice like that come out of there?!” Hahaha God is so good!
i think this song is great cause its the real gospel.. sometimes i think people dont believe jesus because he wont buy them a house in beverly hills or fix thier problems.... this song reminds me of that story where jesus is talking to the sick man at the pool. the dude thinks this water will help him and jesus is like dude what do you want.. i love it.. matt you are so old school
He is right when he says "it won't fix your life", but it sure does give you the most powerful confidence to live life.. nothing better than knowing the Holy Spirit is in you.. i can do anything with Him in me. Lol, even Jesus Himself said its better for the Spirit to be with you than for Him to be here on Earth.. COME ON Christians!! Rise up! Our God has Risen! Shake of the worry of the weary! We are Lions! The Gates of Hell can't even stop the CHURCH. Thats us!!
Hear ye hear ye, remember the day that Stephen Davis recommended that Johnny Lang and Matt Maher do this song together - because it'll have been a great idea :) Ah, this is a great anthem sort-a-song.... It's just all well put and quite appropriate.
Jason Bogart _Perfect_ practice makes perfect ;-) That and experience. Some things can’t be rehearsed and only come with the real deal. You can learn about how to ride a bike, practice pedalling and steering, even ride with training wheels. But in the moment of truth, nothing truly 100% prepares you nor can replace that first actual experience. Not to mention putting what you know to the actual test will show you things you never knew you needed to know, which is an invaluable learning experience that can’t happen with practice nor teaching alone!
@solarflare72 C->G/B->Am->F, then the other progression goes C->E major->Am->F->C. Hope that helps out some. If not, I can make a chord chart of it to send to you.
i like this song.. it reminds me of when Jesus asks "who do YOU say that i am?" we would say The Christ because God gave us the Bible. but Jesus goes on to say.... look I am the Christ and if you let go of all you hold on to I will hold you together... Luke 9 or somewhere like that.
the whole song is basically C,G,Am,F .. to make it easier you can capo 5 and play G,C,Em,D its so easy! .. he throws in a E7 and a G7 but you dont really need them.. hope this helos

He's honestly one of the best singer/songwriters ever.
This song saved my life.
This is SOOO my favorite song right now. Couldn't believe it was Matt Maher singing it
I saw Matt in concert, and he was amazing, this was like his forth song... and when this song was over, it started to rain, since it was an outside concert, rain wasn't a good thing. But we all just waited it out, and then the concert continued. I just think that it is funny because he says "Make us a shelter to whether the storm" And then it rained. God bless you all!!!
Ain't the law of the land or the government, but it's all you neeed.
Still one of my favorite songs.
My 8-year-old daughter Alexandria and I are going to sing this song together as a duet in 2 weeks! I love listening to her sing worship songs. We know all of Matt Maher's songs and sing them together in the car. He is so inspiring.
I'm glad for unintentionally ending up here- what a song and performance. :)
+Michelleyboo18 Isn't that so great when that happens?! I totally just stumbled on Matt Maher myself....God is good. ;-)
Matt you are outstanding. Loved you when you were at St. Tim's and love you music still.

This is one of the best songs to come out in a while, in general
By far my favorite Christian music singer
Awesome song, we got an awesome God. Incredible talent, good songwriter and great chord progression. Love is amazing, and thank God for his love. Well done matt. Thanks klove for showing live performances. These videos encourage me to pursue music and God,
Came here via a friend ....glad I did
Every song he's released I've adored they are such good worshipful songs . I think he should end his concerts with this song because he says this is the first day of the rest of your life it's gonna be alright ;)
Matt maher is such an amazing person. His music really speaks to me.
i heard matt maher the first time on k love and i heard words that sounded like words i knew, his (stories) songs are like he reads our life so thanks klove for letting me know his music
i first saw matt perform in Waukesha with Brandon Heath maybe a year ago. His heart comes out in his music. Beautiful
He played this last year at the Midwest Catholic Family Conference and in place of "won't buy you a home in Beverley Hills" he sang "won't buy you a home in Wichita hills". It was cool but there really any hills in Wichita, KS because Kansas is one of flattest states in the US.
amazing!! i was at a Matt Maher concert (with Phil Wickham & Leeland) just last Sunday and he introduced this song to us!
What a great song! This is the first day of the rest of your life........ :-)
That song is very beautiful and touching!!! Keep it up!!!!!!!!!!😁
Matt this song is amazing. I love it. I am so glad that God had you make this song.
Absolutely beautiful... this song really speaks to me. "Make us a shelter to weather the storm..."
Matt you are amazing. I will never forget seeing you live.......amazing show.
Matt is one of those guys like David Crowded. You look at him, and then hear him sing, and you’re like “woah, how can a voice like that come out of there?!” Hahaha God is so good!
Love it, love it, LOVE IT!
This will forever hold a place in my heart,if you know camp Sweeney you know what I’m talking about!!!

+Dylan Lossing It's never too early to start. :) I've been playing since I was 6 ( I'm 14 now ) and all I can say is practice makes perfect. :)
Jason Bogart

HEY why are you down here? SCROLL UP! You're missing an amazing video!!
looks like some sort of MXL condenser they got micing the guitar. Not sure bout the vocal mic. AWESOME song!! =D
@solarflare72
C->G/B->Am->F, then the other progression goes C->E major->Am->F->C. Hope that helps out some. If not, I can make a chord chart of it to send to you.
Great song, great guy, and he's Catholic! Woot!
God is awesome, aint he...?
It was the Holy Spirit working :)
what is the button next to the like button upside down?
Thats interesting, is he recording direct through his pickup and using a mic at the same time?
i like this song.. it reminds me of when Jesus asks "who do YOU say that i am?" we would say The Christ because God gave us the Bible. but Jesus goes on to say.... look I am the Christ and if you let go of all you hold on to I will hold you together... Luke 9 or somewhere like that.
