| Jars of Clay – Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
interview with the band about the song: We actually first came in contact with a version of this song, "Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet," probably about eight years ago. It was originally done -- a man named Gavin Bryer, who is kind of an experimental composer (He does a lot film scoring and things like that.), was working on a project and he was out collecting sound bites and samples from different people to add to this kind of hodgepodge musical score. And he came across this homeless man that was just sitting down on the side of the road and he walked up to him with a microphone and he said, "Can you say something or sing something?" And this homeless man just started singing, "Jesus' blood never failed, Jesus' blood never failed, this one thing I know, that He loves me so." In and of itself, that experience was probably a powerful moment. I don't even think Gavin Bryer understood how important, and what an amazing picture of God's faithfulness, and the way this man viewed the cross and who Christ was. I think that blew right over his head. Well, anyway, Gavin Bryer gets back to the studio and they're starting to go through all the tapes and all the different samples and things that they collected over this vast amount of time, and he gets to this sample of this man singing this song and finds that he needs to just kind of work on it. So, what he does is, he creates a tape loop of the song so it will repeat over and over again and that way he can kind of work on it and, you know, make whatever changes to it he needs to, to fit it into this movie score. Well, he decides he's going to go get lunch. He leaves the tape playing, that loop of this man's voice playing, and walks out of the room -- leaves the door open, goes down to get coffee and then he gets side tracked. When he comes back up to the studio, he looks around and he notices just a visible difference in people's character, or people's -- just their demeanor had definitely changed. And at further looking, he noticed that there were actually a few people that were weeping. And he realized what it was; is just this one man's voice, singing this over and over again -- and was just connecting with people, and just was making this very powerful movement. So, he decided to make a whole record with that. What he did was took 72 minutes on a CD -- repeated this phrase and then built an orchestral score underneath it. Well, we were given that CD about 9 years ago and it really became part of our experience of life. It was kind of a soundtrack a lot of us used to, when we would get done with a show in the evening, we'd get on the bus, and we'd put on some headphones and we just played that CD over and over again. It became a refuge for us and really just became a part of our spiritual growth, through a lot of that season. And we always wanted to find a way to incorporate that into our own music. And this album just seemed like the right opportunity to take that 72-minute piece of music and actually bring it back to just a 4-minute version so that we could have it. We were really excited to have it on the record. We were excited for people to hear it and we really hope that it will be something that people will connect with and it will be a refuge to sort of dissolve a lot of the noise throughout the day that people hear. |

| Jars of Clay – Oh My God Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Quote from Dan Haseltine's Blog: "...Some questions, when they are found, will never go away. They are like scabs covering deep wounds, once scratched off the skin, they bleed slowly for a lifetime, but they remind us that we are alive and that we feel and think and embrace, and inhale and exhale. Oh My God was a point of convergence. The depth of my hearts depravity, the pain I had walked through in the world, and the pain I observed through the stories and images and places I saw in Africa came together in this song. It is a song in three parts. Part one, simply setting the stage: This verse really describes the human condition... we are fatally wounded people, tainted by sin, and plagued by shallow faith that sometimes doesn't hold us as we search for a clear answer to the question of Jesus' death and resurrection. Doubting the existence of God is part of our human story. Part two of the song: This is actually where the song began... Matt brought the question to the band, "Why do so many people use the phrase, "Oh My God?" And we began to think about the various people who use the phrase, and wondered if we could describe this in a song. It is amazing to me that a person can use the same phrase to be both a curse and an affirmation. These three letters can be used in part of our deepest contentment and our deepest longing. So whores and angels and all of the above use it. People who believe in God and people who don't still find need for this phrase. Part three: This is the rant. This is why I, in that season, spoke those words. I did not deliberate over these lyrics. The song was only sung once in the studio. These words were only written within seconds of singing. This is a gut level grouping of words. And it was a way of bringing the questions I had been storing up and forgetting about and remembering and fighting, to amplification. And so it ends with questions, just as it started. We performed this song two times. We didn't edit it for the record, or add very much to it. It still is one of my favorite songs to sing." |

| This song is about facing the evil in the world and confronting the existence of God. Lead singer Dan Haseltine said in Christian Music Today that the phrase "Oh My God" means "so many different things and it's used in so many different contexts, but in the end, it means that at some point in every person's life, they have to confront whether or not God is real." | |

Queensrÿche's lead singer Geoff Tate, he said: "I love that song. I think it's a beautiful, beautiful piece. And although I didn't write it, I had a lot to do with shaping the destiny of that track through my melodic contributions and the way I sang it, and also in the mixing of the song and that kind of thing. It had a strange beginning. It started out as simply just acoustic guitar and voice. And it wasn't until we were almost finished with the record, just in the last week of working on the record, that we added all the other instrumentation to it. In fact, our producer (Peter Collins) didn't really want to put it on the record because he didn't think it was that well-developed as an idea. He was actually putting his foot down at one point saying, "No, I think you should come up with another song. You only have so many songs for the record, I don't think you should put that on the record." I think it's a good idea that he said that because it inspired Chris DeGarmo and I to really buckle down and finish the song and actually make it into what it is." |
