Art In Me Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Into the mystic 

Cover art for Art In Me lyrics by Jars of Clay

This song is about the redemption of a person, maybe a friend.
Not only in Christianity but in most of the major beliefs in the world and world history, suffering leads to redemption, joy, wholeness, purification, enlightenment. In other words, generally speaking, the more one suffers (with perseverance), the more they come close God or become closer to being who God wants them to be. The first verse is about graffiti. One can read many things into this The second verse is a cry to see the subject's heart, it could be Jesus but more likely it's his friend whom he see's is suffering and/or wanting to be recognized. In the third verse, the speaker is compelled to look to Christ to solve these dilemma's he cannot. Glory to God
