5.0 out of 5 stars
Obvious- Obviously the best, March 29, 2002
This album is really great. I have to admit that the first time I listened through it, I wasn't impressed. But when I went through it again, I loved it. I was singing along even though I'd heard the songs only once. This is the breakdown of the songs:1. Camoflauge- This song is being played on the radio a lot where I live so before the CD was even out, I knew and loved this song. It talks about how we shouldn't be trying to blend in with the crowd as Christians, because we should be trying to tell people about God. It's a great motivation. 2. Use Me- This song is a song written for God. It's the guys telling God to use them. Some lyrics are: "Use me, teach me, I wanna go wherever you lead me." It's something Christians sometimes don't do, but we should because God should be able to mold our lives in his hand, we shouldn't be trying to live the way we want... it's up to God. 3. Let Me Be The One- The first slow song on the CD I actually think is a love song, but it can be a love song from God to us, or from a guy to a girl. Some lyrics include: "Let me be the one, leading you through the night, sharing the smiles and tears you cry, let me be the one lovin' you when you're weak, for all of the strength you need, you can come to me." 4. Under The Influence- This song is about being drunk... not in the sense we think of as with alcohol, but being full of God. When you're drunk on alcohol, you regret it later, but with God's love you never regret it because it keeps on giving. This song lets people know that God is the best thing you could be drunk on. 5. You- This song is my favorite... it's a love song. It talks about "I want, I need, I crave, I breathe, I feel, I hold, I dream, I know, I trust, I love... you" It's a very sweet slow song. 6. I Don't Care- This song is dealing with the issue of putting God before you. It says "I don't care what they say, I'm gonna do it your way. Even if I'm afraid, don't wanna make you look fake. I don't care about anything, it's not about me." It's not about us, it's about God. We should think on the terms of: Who cares what I want? If I tell someone about the Lord and they accept Him, nothing else matters. This song tells people that. 7. Kick Me- This song deals with friendships. It's talking about how human friends kick you and can bring you down, but God's friendship helps you through anything. He never leaves you or forsakes you, but humans might. This song is a great way of telling you that Jesus is the only friend you need. 8. Going Crazy- This song is talking about how without God, we'd all be going crazy. And with God, He saves us from being crazy. He controls our lives (if we allow it). Some lyrics are: "I don't wanna think that I don't need You with me. You are my security, now that I got it I can't go without it cause I need you, need you to keep from going crazy." 9. Start To Fly- Another of my favorites because not only of the lyrics, but the catchy tune. This song is telling teenagers (or just anyone) that even if your life is down the toilet and you have nothing left to live for, God's there. He wants to spend eternity with you in His kingdom. He's everything that you need and you can begin breathing and flying with Him. Some lyrics are: "Just close your eyes, hold on tight. You don't have to be afraid, He is with you all the time. You'll be free, full of peace and everything that you need, it is right there can't you see." 10. Calling Down An Angel- This song is about how when life gets tough and you need help, call down an angel. If you need someone to help you believe just pray and ask for help. God will send it through an angel. I love the lyrics to this song, a few are: "There's hope beyond the struggle, just hold on, I'm calling down an angel... So keep believing, the sun always promises a new day, it'll stop the rain, break the chains and chase the pain away... Heaven's holding ever single tear you cry and if you start to feel alone just know that I am calling down an angel..." 11. Forever- This song is about eternity. It's forever. Where are you going? "Forever is a long time to be without you in my life. I wanna keep you by my side cause forever is a long time." God will be there through anything, forever. 12. Who Am I- This song is so incredible. It's about how God knows your name, he planned your life before time even began. "Who am I without your love? I cannot live without your touch. You hold my hand and walk me through, all I need is you. Who am I without your love? I cannot breathe without your touch. You make me complete, I bow at your feet. For me you came to die, who am I?" We are so small yet God loves us so much. It's amazing. What makes us so special? What makes us worthy of His love? Nothing, but God is so great the despite all of our sins (anything we think, say or do that displeases God) He still loves us as a son or a daughter. It's amazing. This CD is a great witnesses tool and a great CD to listen to if you're having a bad day. God loves us at all times, and this CD makes it OBVIOUS
