10,000 Reasons
by Matt Redman
Theology & Meaning
This modern hymn invites believers to bless the Lord in every season and to remember the countless reasons He is worthy of praise. It draws heavily on the psalms and frames worship as a lifelong response, from morning to evening and into eternity. The emphasis is on the goodness and mercy of God which gives courage for both present and future.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is a versatile song that can fit in traditional or modern contexts and across generations. It works beautifully in services of gratitude, memorials, or moments where you want to acknowledge God's care over a long journey. Invite older and younger believers to sing it together so the room feels the intergenerational nature of worship.
Arrangement Tips
Keep the instrumentation accessible and not overly modern if your church is diverse in style preference. Acoustic guitar or piano can carry the song well with tasteful support from other instruments. Consider having the final chorus gently drop in volume to create a reflective ending rather than always building to the biggest moment.
