lifesamist is right. it's not our job to convince people that they need something they don't want. they have to come to that realization themselves or through people relating to them much like through this song. matt is saying here, "hey...i was there before. this is what helped me."
and when people find someone that's been where they are, believe me, they'll want to hear more. maybe they pick up the album and hear more of their songs.
there are more effective ways to bring people to the one person that can save them than just flat out saying, "you dont want to burn forever right? then find jesus." that line of thinking only pushes people away.
