Passion For Your Name is an album by worship artist Matt Redman. This was his first album, following his debut Wake Up My Soul.His second album was The Friendship and the Fear

The album was recorded at West Park Studios in Littlehampton, England with audio engineer Martin Smith.

The song "Better Is One Day" may concern a mystical experience—the Most Holy Trinity Inhabitation, mystical experience of many saints which perceive the physical, real and alive Presence of God in their heart. "For here my heart is satisfied within your presence"—the author wishes himself to die in order to see and experience God again in Paradise, his house and court, or "come once again to me", because "I've tasted and I've seen".^[1]
