5.0 out of 5 stars Jason Morant, July 16, 2004

I had a chance to talk with Jason before he hit big. It was in a chat room and I was a new christian at the time. He said that he was starting a music carear and sent me his website. After seeing him on a music review computer at my local christian store I just about flipped out. He is an awsome singer and I would recomend his music to anyone. He is under the modern worship category and should be on radio stations soon if not already. I highly recomend this CD to any christian music fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of the best Christian albums I've ever heard, October 1, 2005

This is one of the best Christian albums I've ever heard. Unbelievable. I don't say that lightly. There is a combination of musical quality and lyrics that is outstanding.

The tunes are unique. They are not at all trite, like something you've heard before. They are very pleasing to the ear. The production of the album is meticulous. The instrumentation is good. But especially the vocals are outstanding. Jason's vocals are passionate, reflective, powerful, and diverse. He uses his vocals as a fine instrument.

The lyrics are equally excellent. They reflect a heart that loves God for the deliverance that God has done in his soul. And the concepts Jason uses are very biblical. Let me give an example:

"Now I walk alongside my Father
Without fear of what may come tomorrow
Because I know even in death I'm alive
Because You are inside of me"

In the context of the song, he spoke of God's overwhelming beauty, and also of God's mercy in calling him pure (justification by faith). Jason also spoke of how God had opened his eyes to see the daylight (new birth). Now, in the quote above, he calls God his own Father (adoption). He is not afraid of what may come, just as, for example, Jesus commanded in Matthew 6:25-34. Why is he not afraid? Because "even in death I'm alive." This is accurate, because, for example, when Jesus was about to raise Lazarus, he said in John 11:25 "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live." And why does the believer live? Because "You are inside of me." In other words, Christ lives in believers via the indwelling Holy Spirit. Remember that Paul said that "Christ in you" is "the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).

In short, the musical quality and the great lyrics make this album a great choice in providing another avenue for your heart rise up to God in worship.

I've been listening to this album in my car for a couple of months now, and I'm waiting till I would prefer to listen to something else--it hasn't happened yet. I bought this album on a whim, not ever having heard of Jason Morant. I just listened a little bit through Amazon. If you want to sample his music more before buying, I suggest you go to Jason's Web site. Just type his name in your favorite Web browser and you'll get to it. It will give you longer snapshots of all the songs, and it will give you an idea of his musical style is something you would enjoy.

This is by far one of the best worship albums I've ever heard. (up there with Hungry, Facedown and United's look to You) Every song is incredible, from the great music to the passionate and powerful lyrics, the whole composition and production on every track is superb. Jason is very talented, I would love to see him live. The great thing about this album is I take it to work, crank it up and I'm not ashamed of listening to it or telling people about it. (pretty good witnessing tool) It is not some cookie cutter, cheesey over polished "worship album". Yuck!, Anywho, My favorite tracks are um basically every single one. But if I had to pick just 3 they would be:
#6 Bless the Lord
#8 Fashion
#12 I delight *including the secret song
I would actually rate it 8 out of 5 stars! Oh Yea! If that were possible!
So do your ears/heart/mind/stereo/body/soul/neighbors/family and spirit a huge favor and buy this album!!!
