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.

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!!!

"Abandon" is easily one of the best CDs I own. It's one of those rarities on which every single song is worth listening to. The tunes will play in your head over and over again and you won't be able to get enough.

Have given away 3 copies of this cd, and will never give it away again, because I never get it back! Style of music is rock, a coluple of ballads, and one extended piece that feels like it was recorded directly out of his own private time with the Father. Continues to be one of the best worship cd's I have ever listened to, even after hundreds of spins.

I've been a fan of Jason Morant for several years now and have been to a few of his concerts. Each time I leave with a handful of copies of "Abandon," just to make sure I have great gifts on hand when I need them. This is one of my favorite CDs, if not the favorite of all time. Jason Morant's "sound" is indescribable and unique, he takes his influences and throws them asside to create a genre of his own. I'm not trying to sell anything here so I'm not going to swoon, but this is a deep CD, the kind you must worship to; if you have a heart that is set on the Lord, you should get this, even if only for that reason.

Well Jason Morant is new to me. He has a great voice. His songs touch my soul. Give him a chance, you'll be glad you did. I am looking for more of his music. Love it, love it, love it.

find it, buy it, treasure it! this CD is amazing, jason morant is amazing! i not only love his music but yearn for the connection with God he has, he speaks such faitful and truthful words! this CD is one to play all the way and it will lift your spirits gauranteed!

I got my first taste of Jason Morant at Aquire the Fire in Dallas. In his music you can truely feel his heart. He perofrmed some of the songs from the album and I purchased the CD rigth away. I Am Yours is a great song expressing Jason's devotion to God. His remake of Bless The Lord is another great track. This is a CD you can pop in and let it play all the way through.

I recently picked up Jason's cd after seeing him live. I love the whole cd. His honest soul searching lyrics will inspire you.
