Mmm... Jars of Clay. I think their's was the very first cd I ever bought. Trippy huh? These guys have been such an inspiration to me. Their songs have completely touched my heart and, although John Mayer had a huge part in helping me define where I want to be and what I want to do with my life, Jars of Clay have shaped my music style and inspired me to live a life pleasing to God.

Jars of Clay are: (left-right in pic above) Charlie Lowell, Matt Odmark, Dan Haseltine, Steve Mason.

My favourite Jars of Clay song:

LOVE SONG FOR A SAVIOR
In open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for the daises and the roses
In no simple language
Someday she'll understand the meaning of it all
He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on her lips
Someday she'll trust him and learn how to see him
Someday he'll call her and she will come running
And fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and she'll pray

I want to fall in love with you

Sitting silent wearing sunday best
The sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it calls to the people
Who stare into nowhere, and can't feel the chains on their souls

He's more than the laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust him and learn how to see him
Someday he'll call us and we will come running
And fall in his arms and the tears will fall down and we'll pray

I want to fall in love with you

It seems too easy to call you "Savior"
Not close enough to call you "God"
So as i sit and think of words i can mention
To show my devotion

I want to fall in love with you
My heart beats for you
