Recurring Themes Graphic

May 2005 Contest
(Contest created by Libby Perry)

Jars of Clay continue to amaze their fans with relevant lyrics that individuals often claim were written just for them. May's contest explores one of the recurring themes Jars have included in certain songs in each of their albums... a plea to God to hear our needs! From Jars' first album, Jars of Clay, to their recent ,Redemption Songs, this theme of "Calling on God" continues to recur.

So journey back across the past decade and remember the songs which evoke God's ear to listen to our needs. In this contest, we give the album and a clue toRedemption Songs Promo the song with this recurring theme. Just list the song name that goes along with the clue.

Congratulations to Aaron Riggan! Aaron will receive autographed new 8 X 10 promo photo of the band taken for the release of Redemption Songs. All entries must be received by midnight, EST, May 31st 2005. Good luck!
