| Joe Purdy – Sad Clown Lyrics

A song about struggling to live with our regrets, or with the people we have hurt. Wanting to leave town and start a new life somewhere else cuz he is dissatisfied with the way life has panned out for him in his current town.
"It's not that Im not sorry, its just that Im not strong" - such rugged honestly about the temptation that has plagued men since Eden. Somehow whiskey and the banjo are his only escape, however temporary their comfort, they're usually welcome. |

Where's God? Is it just me, or do we need Him now more than ever? Today, the air is thick with so many issues that are tearing at the heart of our beliefs and God seems so distant. Often enough, we shrug it off, convincing ourselves that there will be an answer someday. How long will we have to wait? But eventually our convictions become too much to ignore, we just feel like shouting, "WHERE ARE YOU?" And why can't we experience him directly like in the time of Moses and David? I feel this is a question that will stay with us as long as we live. |

| Jars of Clay – He Lyrics

Though this song embodies a child abuse theme, it is also reflective of the abuse we feel as children of God. We often get frustrated with the expectations God holds up to us:
"Well I try to make you proud, but for crying out loud - just give me a chance to hide away." Sometimes we just want to escape the all-seeing eye, as just or necessary it all seems. |

Wow. The first time I heard this song, it brought me to my knees. Incredibly powerful, lyrically and musically (I could just get lost forever at the solo in the middle). Drop the baggage from your shoulders that is weighing you down and live freely with passion. After all - tomorrow is not promised to us. |
