THIS IS MY FAVORITE CD!! IT ROCKS!

Jeremy Camp's music is incredible! Not only is he an artist in every sense of the word, but his message and testimony are amazing as well! Everyone should buy this CD! Here's a review of the songs:(on a scale of 1-10)
1. Undertstand-(8) This song was his first single for obvious reasons!! It is a great upbeat, rock song with an awesome message of God understanding us through the tough times.
2. Right Here-(7)I really like the catchy chrous that this song offers. Also, the massage of God being everywhere has encouraged me a lot!
3. Walk By Faith-(8) This is one of the first songs that he wrote after his young wife died of cancer. That fact alone has the song make a strong statement when listening.
4. Stay-(9) Ah, the title track...this song is especially special to me because I have some friends that have walked from the faith recently. This encourages them to stay in the light of God. Great song!!!
5. All the Time-(5) This is honestly my least favorite song on the album. It just does not measure up to the others lyrically or musically.
6. I Still Believe-(10) This is the reason I got the album. This is my favorite song!! The first song that Jeremy penned after his wife's death. It has spoken to me deeply about believing in God during trials. This song is great!!
7. One Day At a Time-(10) This is another awesome one!! The song starts out slow, but the chorus progresses to become one of the rockiest parts on the album! Another great one!
8. Breaking My Fall-(10)-This is also up there with my favorites!! This song is a little slower, but the message is incredible! ("this narrow road I'm walking/this world will try to draw/Your Word will help me fight it/with You I can face it all/oh, I saw You breaking my fall")
9. Nothing-(9) This song starts out slow but progresses. It is espcially lyrically strong!
10. I Know You're Calling-(9)-This is another great song. It's a little slower, but that does not make it bad!
11. Take My Life-(10)-This is Jeremy's most rockiest song!! He rocks with his pounding vocals and catchy chorus! He always opens up concerts with this one!
12. In Your Presence-(7) It took me a while to like this one. It's really a worshipful song, but all of Jeremy's song are laced with praise for God. He makes no apologies for showing where his heart is!
All in all, this is an incredible masterpiece! A must buy for anyone! I'm looking forward in February for Carried Me: The Worship Project from Jeremy!

Honest and Angry

Okay, most people don't start out a review of a worship CD with the word "angry" and call that a good thing. But in this case, when you combine it with "honest," I think it's the highest praise you can give an artist. Like David (who wrote many Psalms, some of them angry), Jeremy Camp doesn't shy away from expressing his anger to God. And not just in his lyrics, but in the passion of his songs (some of which, such as "One Day at a Time" and "Take My Life," reminded me of nothing so much as the recent Daredevil soundtrack -- and that's a positive association).

But he is not always angry. I discovered his music in a very difficult patch of my life, and his faith is remarkable, convicting and inspiring to me. Not only that, it is musically superb.

This CD leaves nothing to be desired (so I hope he can top it on his next outing! ;-) ). Sometimes, I just need loud music, and this guy's got it down. The "hard rock" songs are Stay (4), One Day at a Time (7), and -- my favorite -- Take My Life (11). The latter has lyrics that are as loud and passionate as an emotionally strained Christian could hope for, and yet the message is overwhelmingly positive. These songs feature driving guitar and incredible rhythms. Backing it down, Understand (1) and All the Time (5) are up-tempo but not quite as loud, while the mid-tempo comes in as Right Here (2), Nothing (9), and Walk by Faith (3), which borders on slow.

But his slow songs are as musically rich as his fast ones, and the most beautifully orchestrated and most remarkably faith-filled is I Still Believe (6). My boyfriend heard it on the radio and introduced me to Jeremy Camp, and honestly, it's not my favorite song on the album because I like Camp's fast songs so much. But the lyrics of this song are simply amazing, and the circumstances surrounding his writing make them even more so. He really knows what it means to follow God through difficult situations.

In short, if you like rock music, ballads, and amazing lyrics, you couldn't spend better money this year than to buy this CD.

AMAZING

There aren't words to express how truly great this cd is. Jeremy Camp lost his young wife to a bout with cancer. You can hear and feel all the emotions he was going through. He expresses his anger and faith towards God. Every single song is great! This cd is a MUST HAVE for any christian!!!
