Ok - if you ONLY listen to Christian music, you may not find this a very helpful review. I spent most of the years of my life AVOIDING Christian music because the majority is over-produced, bubblegum music with a good message and horrible music.

Third Day, Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, and Jeremy Camp have all succeeded in proving to me that some Christian music can have both a positive message and be good music. However, this album, from song 1 to 13, rocks! It is not all power-music, in fact most of it is very melodic, but the music is very well done, and the messages are some of the best I've heard. Based on this, I would rank this as the single best Christian album I have heard. Every song is a winner in its own right, but it isn't all the same. This artist has a great career ahead of him!

I must admit that the first time I heard this album I was not overly impressed. But, now that I have had a chance to listen to it for awhile I really enjoy it. It is full of excellent worship songs with very strong lyrical content. Jeremy Camp clearly demonstrates why he is considered one of the rising stars in Modern Christian Music.

The best songs on the album are "Trust in You", "Beautiful One", "Walk by Faith", and "Revive Me". I particularly like "Revive Me". The story behind the song is inspirational, and the lyrics reveal the artist's heart, and his love for God.

Unlike some others reviewers I don't care much for some of the other cover songs that is performs, such as "Enough" and "Worthy of All Praise". The original versions, and those found on the Passion CDs are much better.

I recommend this album to any Jeremy Camp fans - if you don't already own it. For others who are looking for a great modern worship album, this is a great choice.

Artists releasing worship CD's seems to be the trend of the last few years. While I am often leery of people jumping on bandwagons to make a quick buck, these projects have a true heart of worship. This CD is no exception.

It starts out with a song I've used in leading worship for a long time myself. I had never heard "Trust in You" recorded before, however. I love this version of it, and that song alone was enough to convince me to buy it.

The CD doesn't go downhill from there at all, by any means. It moves into some fresh worship choruses like "Beautiful One," "Enough," and "Wonderful Maker." Jeremy Camp had his hand in writing 5 songs on this CD, including "Walk by Faith" from his first CD and the title song. I'm still not a fan of "Carried Me" stylistically, but the lyrics, recognizing God's hands in trials, are amazing.

Over all, this CD keeps the beat up and the pace going, showing you can rock and worship at the same time.

With a good mix of original and familiar worship choruses, this CD fits well into the modern worship genre. I took a chance when I got it, and I'm very glad I did.

Jeremy Camp's second album, "Carried Me: The Worship Project," shows another side to Mr. Camp's image. In "Stay," his debut album, Mr. Camp impressed his listeners as a fresh, new face on the Contemporary Christian Music scene. Songs like "Stay," "Walk By Faith," and "In Your Presence" were some of the powerful offerings on that album. In this release, Mr. Camp pays homage to some of the modern Praise & Worship hits such as "Beautiful One," "Wonderful Maker," and "Enough." He also combines with these some original hits of his own. His version of "You Are Worthy of my Praise" is cool and edgy!

Jeremy Camp is going to be a major player on the CCM/P&W scene for some time to come, Lord willing. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we should all thank God for talents such as Jeremy Camp. God is really using people like him to reach people with the saving message of Jesus Christ. Personally, Mr. Camp's music really gets me into the worship of our gracious and merciful God!

I waited 2 months for the release of this album, and it was well worth the wait. Although it does not come near to the caliber of his debut album, Jeremy Camp shows off his heart and dedication to the Lord through every song. Even his new wife, Adrienne, backs him up in 2 of the songs and together they sound wonderful. The album contains some wonderful new versions of classic worship songs we know and love, such as 'Enough' and 'You're Worthy of My Praise', and new worship songs that are just as good. Although this album is excellent, I feel it could have been better. The title track, Carried Me, is especially disappointing. I find it a track that is 4 minutes of boredom. It is a great song lyric wise, but the tune gets old after the first stanza. Nonetheless, Jeremy Camp has definately not disappointed his fans with this sophomore album. His vocals are still those deep, full of heart tones we know and love, and it is a must if you enjoyed his first album Stay. It will stay in my CD player for many, many weeks to come.

I hesitated in giving this cd 4 stars because its so awesome. Its more like a 4.9. Still I think Jeremy Camps' first cd is much better. Because this cd is a worship album the songs are much slower especially in comparison to his debut album. Still I do recomend it for those who love listening to worship songs with a more rock out beat to it.

I have to admit, I don't usually listen to praise and worship music for pleasure. Most of it just doesn't appeal to me in that way. I love to sing it and play it, but its not something i pop into my CD player in my car. This album however, represents the first worship CD that I can listen to over and over again without getting sick of it. Jeremy Camp has put together a very nice collection of songs, some original, some covered. He injects his signature style into both. He has an amazing voice and his guitar work is very good, as it was in his debut album, "Stay". You can tell these songs really come straight from the heart. Keep up the good work, Jeremy....

I am not into Christian Contemporary Music but this album to me does not seem like overly pop or produced Christian anthems for androids. First of all Jeremy Camp has a refreshing and deeply inspirational sound. You can really feel the empotion and heartfelt praise just in his vocals. He has soul, something most contemporary Christian albums lack.

Another thing is the entire album is strong and inspirational. You can actually listen to this album without having to skip over tracks. The only somewhat weak song is the final track "Carried Me." Another amazing significance is the constant focus on the glory and power Christ. Camp does not make it about "I" so much as it is about God and his glory. But at the same time it is extremely personal and deep, so it is layered well.

I really love "Beautiful One," "Enough," and "I Wait For The Lord" will really having you humbling yourself and praising the Lord. Also "Revive Me" is very powerful and great for reflection. When I met Jeremy Camp I thought he was extremely sincere and an excellent model for a Christian artist. He definitely has an excellent powerful sound. If sometimes you think contemporary Christian music is dorky and overly slick this album is for you.

There is no denying that Jeremy Camp smashed his way through with "Stay" and his amazing story of how the songs came about for that Album.

I found the album musically to be a great encouragement and one that provides and alternative to the rich sounds of mainstream CBA worship albums...this is real!

IN this, HIS second mainstream release you will hear a man searching God's heart within the context of his pain. Looking for direction and all the time Giving God Praise for the gratitude and relationship that Jeremy passionatly has with the Lord Jesus.

I found this album to be an awesome follow up to "Stay" and a great addition to the Trilogy in his Journey which comes to a close in "Restored" his new release. Its almost like reading a story when you read the lyrics and know the journey he has been on.

A prophet .. of the modern revolution.YOU will dig this.

GS.

I am not a your typical christian music fan. Many times the music and lyrics are not very powerful, but with Jeremy Camp you can't go wrong. The song "walk by faith" is awesome. Trust me, buy this album you won't be sorry. His voice and music are second to none. This band is by far the best chrisitan band around. If you like Mercy Me, you will Love Jeremy...he is much more talented.
