Refreshing Hymns
They've done a great job with taking hymns and making them their own, yet still true to their original form. My husband and I have always been Jars of Clay fans, and this CD shows us why. They bring life and joy to the songs we remember from growing up. Great CD. .


They can do better
Jars of Clay can do a lot better then this they seem almost non energetic as usual. Okay I have heard better Jars of Clay albums before, this album stinks. A couple of songs sound like attempeted country, JOC is usually what I prefer a Christian Rock Band. The only reason I rated this three and not one is that I like a couple of songs. God will lift your Heads, Let us sing of his love and wonder, and Come and mourn with me a while. The band rocks but this album doesn't sorry. .


Classic hymns of the faith remade for the 21st century.
The more I listened, though, the more the songs began to grow on me. I was a little slow to warm up to this CD, mainly because some of the centuries-old tunes that are showcased here have not ever done much for me on a personal or spiritual level. Jars of Clay did a masterful job of taking old hymns that once seemed dry and a bit stodgy, and updated the musical style to breathe new cultural relevance into them for the 21st century Christian. These theologically rich lyrics are reset to more modern music styles ranging from rock to blues to Beatles-like harmonizing. My lukewarm attitude toward this CD has changed so much in recent months that I have purchased the songbook also, and am now incorporating a number of these songs into my music sets when I lead worship during church or small group meetings. Give it a try. I think you will not be disappointed.


Excellent CD
It surely blessed me. Each and every song on this CD is amazing. I love the song I'll Fly away. I am thankful this band truly walks with God and blesses us with their music!.


great, uplifting songs
So I had to get it for myself. I had been away from Jars music for a while, but a friend had this CD and I really loved the songs on it. Lots of great uplifting, upbeat songs to listen to!.
