Matt Maher Encourages Us to Cultivate a Heart of Generosity with "Bigger Table"

Multi-award-winning and nine-time GRAMMY® nominee Matt Maher has released his brand new single "Bigger Table." Written by Bryan Fowler, Jacob Sooter and Maher, the song encourages us to cultivate a heart of generosity especially to those who are lonely and those who are less fortunate than us. 

Maher writes, "I grew up in a house where my dad was a restaurant owner. Needless to say almost every night someone was over; people from every spectrum of life. I learned you don't need to fear people who don't think like you.

"The first rule of the Benedictine Order is you greet every person as if they were Christ Himself. That kind of hospitality is transformational. I hope the song inspires you (even tho the idea of division seems to be growing) to to build a bigger table."

Come gather round the mystery
Of love in our broken history
Where grace heals the fault lines in me
Time and time again it welcomes me into a

A house for the hungry
A well for the thirsty
Where all saints come together
Shoulder to shoulder
A welcome for the traveler
New wine for the vineyard
In all things God is able
Love has a bigger table
