Life, as we all know it and live it, can resemble a winding river filled with many bends and curves. In order to sail through to fulfillment, peace, and joy, we need to surrender and trust with great humility. We need to believe that all things are in God’s hands, despite appearances. If we strive to cooperate, no doubt, we will find ourselves floating on a River of Grace which will guide us gently along to where we belong—safely home in the loving arms of our Savior.

My prayer is that this music will bless you and inspire you to a deeper trust, letting God love you and steer you down this river.

"His latest, River of Grace, rises to a new level of excellence, with 12 exquisite songs perfect for prayerful meditation... Baute has a lovely, textured tenor that can remind you of Martin Doman or Michael John Poirier. His songs, though, have their own signature... There are so many songs to mention. 'Through All Generations' is a song of hope and comfort inspired by Psalm 90: 'You have been our refuge through all generations.' The beautiful acoustic guitar work which graces this song and many others on the album are all skillfully played." Grapevine Magazine Review

"When my wife and I first heard you sing, my mind was in turmoil at the time, unsure and doubting myself. You sang 'River of Grace' and it made me cry tears of joy. It was as if God was telling me that everything is going to be ok."

"I love your music, I love your voice... I have so much of you downloaded on my iTunes... Whenever I have to really concentrate at my desk, I put you on, and I can think and work so perfectly!"

"I think your music is so very prayerful and am enjoying your latest CD immensely!"

"I wanted to let you know how profoundly River of Grace touched me. What a perfect song – I felt an instantaneous peace. You should warn people not to listen to the CD while driving – I had to pull over."

"I have just gone through a time of grieving. When I was hearing the songs that Matthew was singing, it was giving me great relief. I felt the Lord healing my soul and bringing peace to my soul."

"THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL & INSPIRING MUSIC......it connects my soul to God each day!"
