100% Bible

The best thing about Casting Crowns is that they consistently tell the truth in no uncertain terms, even if some people don't want to hear it. This album is a great example. "Stained Glass Masquerade" and "Set Me Free" are the two most daring, because they talk about bottling up our feelings and sins in front of eachother, and demon possession, respectively. "Set me Free" would be a great song for addicted people as well. "Lifesong" is simple, yet it expresses a very important idea; everything we do must give glory to God, or else we sing praises that mean nothing. "Does Anyone Hear Her" is a great song that attacks our quickness to judge without loving. And "Praise You In This Storm" is made all the more powerful by the story behind it. "Prodigal" is a nice Bible story adaptation. "In Me" doesn't have a hard hitting punch until you listen to Mark's testimony that he gives at concerts...the one about him sitting at the piano playing the same 4 chords over and over. (there's a video of the testimony on youtube) "Love Them like Jesus" is sweet and slow, and simple; beautiful too."While You Were Sleeping" is a very strong song when done with the Jerusalem lyrics instead of the second Bethlehem verse. Much more powerful, because it takes us through the most important 3 stages of Jesus' life; His birth, His death, and His eventual return. "And Now My Lifesong Sings" ends the CD as they like to end all of their CDs; with worship or contemplative songs. A great album. View All Music And Book Reviews By LauraCC | View LauraCC's Profile
