Jars Of Clay Review

This is a great introduction to Jars of Clay for novices. You can sense their youth in this c.d., as it is their first, but that's what makes it so wonderful-because it has such raw, innocent beauty. "Flood" is by far their most recognized song in history, but is as equally good as other songs like "Love Song for a Savior" and "Worlds Apart". "He" is about child abuse from the child's mind, and is very sad. "Worlds Apart" is my favorite song, as it describes every Christian's struggle to give God our desires and let him mold us to want more of Him and less of the world. "Flood" is intense and the darkest on the album. It talks about those times when we have lost all hope and feel like we are drowning in our problems. "Love Song for a Savior" is a beautiful melodic love song, expressing our desire to "fall in love" with our Father. A hint if you get this c.d.: wait after the final track a couple of minutes and you will hear a bonus track entitled "4:7". It is a very cool rendition of the "Jars of Clay" Bible verse, in 2 corinthians. After that is a studio recording of "Blind" and supposedly, you can hear people talking about the O.J. Simpson trial in the background!(Though I couldn't make it out, because it was too far away).
