Music reviews of Conversations

Music Review: Check out this marvelous new Christian artist!
Rating: 5 Stars

It's going to be hard to pick a favorite song on this CD,
but after listening to a few, here are my
thoughts...

"Conversations", the title song, is about not
knowing how to say it, not knowing how to have a conversation with
someone about what Jesus means to us. I'm sure most of us can
identify! "I would like to share with you what makes me
complete. I don't claim to have found the Truth, but I know it has
found me. . the only thing that isn't meaningless to me is Jesus
Christ and and way he set me free. This is all that I have. This is
all that I am."

"The Word", taken from the first
chapter of John's gospel, is my favorite on the album so far. After
hearing 10 seconds of this song, I was hooked on the music! In
addition to the incredible instrumentation on this song, this song's
lyrics are so powerful. She talks about how people try to find God in
so many ways, yet they don't open up their Bible that sits on the
shelf. People try on ideas like they try on clothes and discard them
just as easily when they "don't fit".

"Hello
Lord" examines what we often feel when we're trying to make a
decision and we're listening to the Lord and trying to hear Him, and
maybe we're not as patient as we should be. "Right now I don't
hear so well and I was wondering if you could speak up. I know that
you tore the veil so I could sit with you in person and hear what
you're saying, but right now, I just can't hear you."

"Generations" was inspired by Deuteronomy 11. We're not
just reasonsible for our own actions, but the effects our actions will
have on our descendants: "Eve was the first but she wasn't the
last. If I were honest with myself, had I been standing at that tree,
my mouth and my hands would be covered with fruit." Lord, help us
make good decisions!

If you like folk/pop/contemporary Christian
music, you'll love this album. Sara Groves is in a category all by
herself, though, and you'll have to buy this CD to find out for
yourself! This CD is extra-good because Sara has written all the
songs herself!

If you enjoy this album, be sure to get a hold of her
first indie release "Past the Wishing".
