We are weak, we are frail, we are lame and yet, we are chosen. It is to show the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us (2 Corinthians 4:7). That is the great purpose behind why we are called jars of clay. Jars of Clay writes some amazingly inspired lyrics in so many of their songs like this and this is just one of many favorites. It was while we were still weak, that Christ died for the ungodly (Romans 5:6). I am a fairweather friend but He isn't, He's always there waiting should I need arms to crash into.

Because He always loves perfectly, the pureness of His love is like a rushing waterfall to parched lips of thirsting for true love, like a 'newborn cry when there are so few' He IS my life, for my life is hidden with Christ. In baptism I am saying, 'I do.' It's a public affirmation of my belief/love of Christ, just as marriage is. Our relationship is somewhat similiar to a marriage. He builds up my faith and I will someday become part of His bride. I'm still heartbroken but He loves me regardless of my faults.

Out of all the loves I have known He holds my affection and will. I am reminded by the Holy Spirity of His faithful love and I have peace. I am feeling betrayed right now by a girl I have always loved and respected and after all the tears are spent where do I arrive? Nothing has changed but in a way He does stroll into my room. I don't know what it is, but to me this song speaks of the faithful love of Christ to me, especially right now. He maintains a song can be interpreted however by anyone but there is a core meaning to him when he writes it. I just talked to Dan the other night, not specifically about this song but about songwriting.

Jars of clay who we are instead
