Martin James Smith is an English vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter. Smith was the front man of the Christian rock and worship band Delirious. He co-wrote three songs on Michael W. Smith’s 2004 album Healing Rain and is going to be collaborating with Michael W. Smith on his upcoming album. Smith also co-wrote two songs on Matt Redman’s 2006 album Beautiful News (“Take it to the Streets” and “All Over the World”). Some of the most recognized songs by Delirious include “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever”, “History Maker”, “My Glorious”, “Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?”, “Shout To The North”, “Deeper”, “Majesty (Here I Am)”, and “What a Friend I’ve Found”. In 1995, Smith was involved in a near-fatal car accident, and during the weeks of his recovery, he decided to become a full-time musician. This inspired him to write the song “August 30” which appeared on the King of Fools album from Delirious. Smith was one of the founding members of Delirious along with Stewart Smith (no relation) and Tim Jupp, when they formed the band as The Cutting Edge. Smith also collaborated with the other members of Delirious for the book I Could Sing of Your Love Forever.
