I was of the opinion that ‘Third Day’ could never surpass their second CD ‘Conspiracy #5’ as it hit on all fronts- musically, lyrics, and vocals. I was hopeful when ‘Wired’ was released as I had heard that the group was returning to it’s roots but it really only came close in a couple of songs. Well I believe they did greatly surpass ‘Conspiracy #5’ and then some.
It truly does return to what I call ‘good old southern rock and roll’. This is one of those CD’s that you can listen to from beginning to end without skipping a track. The music, instruments, and vocals were spot on – it was awesome to hear Flyleaf's Lacey Moseley on ‘Born again’ and ‘Run To You’ and Chris Daughtry on ‘Slow Down’ . What was of even great significance was the lyrics. They hit a chord will all of us in our walk with Jesus Christ – assuring us of his love, grace, mercy and hope. And I believe that Mac Powell would agree that he and the band had to get to this point in their walk with God and have gone through all the ups and downs in their lives to get them to be able to produce a CD like this
It would be so hard to pick a favorite song on this CD but I would have to say I could narrow it down to two ‘Call My Name’ and ‘Revelation’
“It's been so long since you felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know there's a place where you belong
Here in my arms
When you feel like you're alone in your sadness
And it seems like no one in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I'll be there
You just call my name and I'll be there
The pain inside has erased your hope for love
But soon you will find
That I'll give you all that your heart could ever want
And so much more
You just call my name
You just call my name
Call my name, say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive”
“My life has led me down the road that's so uncertain
Now I am left alone and I am broken
Trying to find my way
Trying to find the faith that's gone
This time I know that you are holding all the answers
I'm tired of losing hope and taking chances
On roads that never seem
To be the ones that bring me home
Give me a revelation
Show me what to do
'Cause I've been trying to find my way
I haven't got a clue
Tell me should I stay here
Or do I need to move
Give me a revelation
I've got nothing without you
I've got nothing without you”
This CD came to me at a crossroads in my life as I am facing several ‘losses’ personally and professionally. But the more I listen to this CD the more I am ‘letting go and letting God’ - assured of his love for me and that He desires good for me in my life in all things and a stronger relationship with him.
Be a blessing and buy several copies and give this to your friends & co workers & ones you don’t really know – as God touches you through this CD just ‘pay it forward’ .
