"This is a record that expresses God's relentless pursuit
of us as human beings," remarks Charlie on the overall
motivation behind the project. "It's because of His
unconditional love for us that we are allowed to be exactly
who we are."
The Eleventh Hour
Four years ago, a band of eager, but completely unprepared,
young musicians came together in a sort of "dormitory
acoustic group" at Greenville College in Illinois. Not even
thinking about an actual career in music, they began to
write songs more for the fun of it than anything. For even
a little more entertainment, they decided to submit a demo
to a national new artist competition. Three million records
later, the music of that unassuming group of college
buddies is heard around the globe. And the band, f More...

Review about Jars Of Clay
One of my favorites! | Reviewer: Gigi
------ About the song This Road performed by Jars Of Clay
I have had a Jars of Clay CD in my closet for 3 years, but I didn't listen to it until a week or so ago. Now I can't stop! Love the music, love the sound of their voices, love the messages the songs convey. This song in particular is one of my very favorites, with "No One Loves Me like You" close behind. It feels so powerful to listen to this song.
I also like Jars of Clay because you can really understand the words!! I hate it when a band plays a worship song in such a way that you can't understand the words, but Jars of Clay is different.
They have actually kind of changed the style of their music, boohoo, but I still love the band and especially this song.

------ About the song He performed by Jars Of Clay
I remember the first time my husband and I heard this song, it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and we were relaxing after church. The Sunday newspaper was open on the coffee table to a page filled with children's pictures who were waiting for adoptive homes. My husband and I both had considered adoption in the future, and that day, through that song coupled with the newspaper that lay open with oh, so many childrens hopeful faces gazing up from that page, we knew, God was calling us to adopt children. Within the next three years the Lord blessed us with three children through adoption.
This is a wonderful song that means a lot to our family. It helped bring us to our children. Through that song, God spoke to our hearts.

------ About the song Valley Song performed by Jars Of Clay
i've been an avid listner of jars of clay for years...i first heard their song during my elementary years, and till my college years i still cry over and over to their songs of devotion and inspiration lifting the hearts of every Christian in the world...and also helping those who were astray to turn back to God...and i was one of them...

This is a truly amazing sing with an amazing history. Horatio G Spafford was a wonderful man and a wonderful Christian. Blessed be those who lean on the Lord in hardships.
The meaning of the song | Reviewer: Jesse V
------ About the song He performed by Jars Of Clay
As the previous post states the song is about child abuse.
"and they think i fell down again"
means that at home the child is being beaten. But the song gets into more detail that simply physical abuse but mental abuse and emotional neglect. "Momma don't you love me Then why do you hurt me?" I always interpreted that as meaning that his mom says very hurtful things about him.
A child who didn't learn what love was from his parents or from another human being. But from God the father and His son, Jesus Christ.
The song brings tears of sorrow to my eyes when i hear the second measure, but by the end of the song, they are tears of Joy, because in this song, i can see how endless and pure and beautiful and selfless His love is.
Possibly my favorite song of all time... but there are certainly some others out there.
Also possibly my favorite album of all time.

Love Song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Show You Love performed by Jars Of Clay
this song, to me, is not a love song to God. It is a love song to your mate. It is talking about the Christian way that you should romanticly love someone.

------ About the song God Will Lift Up Your Head performed by Jars Of Clay
Recently I "stumbled" upon this song. Meaning what I did by accident God did on purpose. But I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning and listened to the song 36 times in a row. How incredible the lyrics are. So much teaches about hope and God's will. How motivating it is to think of "wandering" in God's way, his will. And to know that in everything, God will end it in joy.

------ About the song I'll Fly Away performed by Jars Of Clay
Warm and truthful. This song leads the Christian Hedonist to a joyful glimpse God's promise of eternity with Him.
One of my favorites | Reviewer: Matt
------ About the song He performed by Jars Of Clay
I'm a tremendous fan of this album in general, but this song rips at my heart every time I hear it. It's about child abuse. And even in the midst of the pain, the Father is there, holding the wounded sparrow in His hands, crying enormous tears for the helpless and the hopeless. But He lets us know that when hope fades and help seems miles away, He is our hope and our help in times of trouble.
great song | Reviewer: JCHC punk
------ About the song I'll Fly Away performed by Jars Of Clay
the lyrics are amazing to this song. but you have not heard the best version until you have heard the punk version. JCHC street punk band "FBS" redid this song and it was breathtaking. Who would have thought this song could be played loud and fast.
Depth... | Reviewer: Q
------ About the song Sad Clown performed by Jars Of Clay
Jars of Clay has a wonderful way of making their lyrics deep and though provoking. This song is no exception. The imagery in the lyrics of this song are amazing.
In the first stanza, the lyricist is looking for something other than the life they are living. They are searching for something brighter than their life, but all they find is that they can't control the rain that falls. They are trapped by their lives.
Take the second stanza as though they are speaking directly to God. Do we entertain God? We as Christians often get caught up in the secular culture that has seaped into the church. We strive for all the bells and whistles that mainstream Christianity perscribes to us. Often times this is our wit to cover our lies. We emerse ourselves in it, and loose track of God's will. Often times, we use them to cover up our struggles with our faith.
As Christians, we often times live a lie. We put on a mask, and hide the pain in our lives. Often times, we even try to hide it from God. We put on costumes and masks, trying to make our faith into something it isn't. We do all of these things to try and please God, but often times we aren't following our hearts. We put on costumes, trying to be something we are not.
Does God find this to be faithful, or does he think we are clowns? It is an interesting question. Some would argue that pursuing all the bells and whistles and trying to make our faith as active as possible is admirable. That God would be pleased by our efforts. Others would argue that we are missing the point, and living a shallow faith.
So how do we deal with what traps us? I think every Christian asks that question, most on a daily basis. I find this song to be an excellent illustration of the internal battles that Christians fight because we will always question whether we are doing what is right in the eyes of God.

------ About the song Dig performed by Jars Of Clay
my soul is in tears - both tatters and flowing salted streams... but what does Jars imply? "consult the cards to measure mine, the earth is hard, the treasure fine, at the sea I wait on my knees......consult the cards to measure my, ..."
I came from a love of the occult to find myself wrapped in HIS arms of love collapsed in resobbing relief in the safety of HIS BEING...
Does anyone out there know what these lyrics mean?
Nothing compares to my Holy Father, no thing.
May HE fill you as HE fills me...
I'm a suicidal brokenness without HIM.
I can praise nothing in me but HIS touch, HIS chosen designing of this clay...
And that will I do: All Glory to HIM, my KING.

------ About the song Fly performed by Jars Of Clay
I love this song. It had heart and depth. When I first heard of it, I immediately fell in love with its melody so I played it over and over and found myself transcribing its lyrics. Deeply moving in its shortness and simplicity. Very sincere.
