Jars of Clay - Frail

[@graphicallyspeaking1]

This really is one of the best songs I have ever heard...I am 50

[@dinomyte1981]

In my opinion, this may be their greatest work.

[@JaneMoon_6]

This song and Flood are the only ones I found memorable

[@marybrown6630]

I have played this song so many times and its so much better every time I listen to it. My husband could play the guitar picking for me. It was magical the way he could just pick it up. He has since passed and makes me smile how much we loved each other and loved this song together 💞 love song for a Savior was our song 🎵 It is timeless

[@F35B2009]

I used to wonder, "How does *not* being weak, *not* being cold and *not* being scared make you frail?" Then one day the true meaning of this song finally hit me. Being weak, cold and scared is what causes us to turn to God for strength. If we never had any reason to turn to God, we would never receive His strength. And without strength from God, we truly would be frail.

[@silentwitness859]

Wow.

[@gaz2276]

I'm into lots of alternative bands n a few metal bands. My Christian friend introduced me to this band and this song touched me deeply. This is a very simple song yet it has such power. Every part is glorious, the drums. percussion is dreamy, the bass parts are sweet. The guitar parts are a joy to play, the addition of orchestral parts. A magical song. I love this like I love Sepultura, Iron Maiden, Rush, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Strawberry Alarm Clock. I'm off to listen to more Jars. x

[@planes3333]

I like all those bands you listed too, well not the doors anymore but yeah I get you, I came to listen to this as I am off to get my top teeth row removed, I feel very scared and frail, and I sure hope it goes well. Jars of clay I think are in my top 10 fave bands, rush, pink floyd, tiesto, etc etc keep the good taste my man oh ps im just starting to get not crap at guitar its so majickal !

[@AdjustingLight]

Welcome to the family. The power you feel is the Holy Spirit.

[@patricksnavely5850]

This and Silent Lucidity are twin songs to me.

[@katyambros6344]

If I was not so weak, cold, scared of being broken and growing old, I wouldn't need God's power,strength,grace, or mercy, and without Him, I would be frail... That's what this song means, and there's nothing more beautiful than the savior's love for us.

[@luis-megcalderon7582]

Katy Ambros Amen

[@stuksy4321]

Nice

[@michellebaker7729]

That was beautiful to say

[@missbee7745]

💕 Praise The Only King of All The Nations-For His Mercy Endures Forever... 💕

[@mclarenf1V12]

It means if he wasn’t so weak and scared then he wouldn’t be afraid of being frail before the Lord and let only God’s power be at work instead of him trying to be in control. THAT’s what it means. Best song of all time. Gives me chills the way he executes it. Timeless sound track.

[@bernlin2000]

I'm an agnostic, but this song really touches a nerve, love it

[@cmikesmith664]

Something sad and haunting about this CD. Very unlike any other “Christian” band. I wore this CD.

[@robertsmith-cj6gl]

Frail, worlds apart, frail, worlds apart, frail, worlds apart. I refuse absolutely refuse to pick which one is my favorite.

[@ronbaker2673]

I like Worlds Apart also

[@mateusgale]

This is the kind of song that takes you another world, simply amazing...

[@candyrain09able]

mateus balbinot AMEN!!!

[@yournumber1fan100]

Besides the fact that connecting with God is so amazing and awesome doing it to this guitar playing is epic!! I hear you

[@febo8510]

Tea and sympathy.... another great song from Jars

[@za_wavbit]

I really love this song. I got the Much Afraid CD when I was a kid and listened to it constantly. Not Christian anymore, but this song still really sticks with me.

[@Janet-v5z1c]

They're talented. That song liquid I think is blasphemous on the first cd🤯 Its so sad that their not Christian anymore. 😭😭😭 I was thinking maybe they fell away from the Lord, bc their songs and/or cds wasnt being sold. I wonder why, bc I saw him in an interview on KZbin, and the singer mentioned that.

[@Yaveshtolethien]

I heard a pastor on the radio today say "If you ever find yourself before The Almighty, and you're not feeling inadequate(like a peon, he said), then you're probably not before The Almighty!" I need to learn to boast in my Lord, and in my weakness, and nothing else.

[@datopdlink]

Tears. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and then this stellar performance. Too beautiful.

[@bronc30td]

For my money, nothing beats their first album....every single song was amazing!

[@nekeiaflowe4245]

I love this band since my college days and still love them!!! Jars of Clay know how to get behind the veil and into the presence of the Lord! Just to be close to God and peacefully, sit still and embrace His love and Kindness towards us!!! Extraordinary Song!!!💗💗💗💗💗

[@lyricalblisschristine1149]

The song gives my soul chills... Jars of Clay are awesome... love this song and y'all killed playin/singing live!! Thanks 🙏

[@MaRie8303]

Folk/acoustic was the sound/style that made JOC stand out! I miss these days!

[@richpezz1]

I stand so frail like a broken jar of clay before you my God. You take my frailty and mold me into a mighty vessel ready for your use, for your glory.

[@hhawki3]

you're so right, there's ministry in the music, written by the finger of God(The Holy spirit) you can tell that these guys have spent time in His presence!

[@MoniBahaa]

the most perfect live performance ever...check

[@trueternalthug]

jinpaulo - i totally agree man. frail and worlds apart have been two of my latest favorites in my personal life and prayer. they are so deep and convincing in the subtlest ways with their words

[@GaryKissick]

I don't believe Jesus was the son of God or even that he intended to found a new religion, but the talent & sincerity of Jars of Clay are impressive. They're the only Christian band I admire.

[@MrDaveonthefly]

How beautiful music can be when it's not overplayed. Less is best. This is one of my favorite songs. Fitting lyrics and multi melody instrumentation works like a fine painting. Love this band

[@aleksander8497]

ditto

[@Quincy0047]

So, this is pretty much my favorite song ever right now. I learned how to play it on guitar and ever since then I've barely gone a day without playing it a couple times. . . absolutely amazing.

[@mercross1397]

If only it was known how many times the devil wanted to steal my life but this song grounded me. It will be okay. Even tho it’s rough right now. We are frail, but he is there and we are not alone no matter what the devil tries and whispers to us. I almost would say I owe my life to this song, but I owe it to the lord who has this in my heart since before I could write. In my darkest times he brings this to me. It’s so powerful. Gosh is good

[@Progo35]

I saw this live when Jars of Clay came to my school. It was the first time I heard the song and I've loved it since then.

[@shoelover64]

This really is a masterpiece. Just awesome.

[@lonestarduffer]

I'd pay $100 to see these guys live... more if necessary.

[@larrydean444]

It has taken me 8 years to tell anyone this, My stepfather, who treated me horrible as a child, was dying of cancer, I was taking him to chemo daily for a month, the final day came , I didn't want to show up. I was told " get here, he is not well", I did not want to come, I just had a friend buy this cd, I was listening to this song at the time of the call. It gave me strength to go and see him. He died that night, I will always hold this song closer than any. God Bless!

[@ericmsandoval]

A song/album that stands the test of time. Compare this to any of their stuff afterwards and there is absolutely NO comparison. Their song writing was terrific in the first two albums.

[@jinpaulo]

hmmm.... do u ever cry everytime u hear jars of clay musics?? especially worlds apart and frail.... closing my eyes and thinking, praying to overcome lifes struggle... hope its end soon.. thank u lord for the talent to sing and expressing our love and devotion...

[@purplepen2008]

This is such a beautiful song. Dan's voice is so smoothe and adds to the whole depth of the song. They are all very talented musicians. I have been a fan since '95.

[@arhansen85]

I’m 38 now. But this song is one that Absolutely informed my musical taste and writing friend childhood leading to now

[@jessicarisdon897]

I love the words " Pain becomes my peace"!

[@lorddreams469]

The strings are amazing!

[@adrianclegg3502]

Great song! Psalms 39:4 Yahweh, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.

[@jailbreak852]

My Father.

[@ancientaction]

So incredibly soulful, rips you to the core, and with the full orchestra... ~shivers~

[@dragonflySummer09]

This is my favorite song of theirs and this is an amazing live performance...wish I had been there....

[@MoniWooOOooooOOOOOOW]

Wow long time ago..good memories in 1997. Mom&dad we miss you.

[@docjazither]

This song touches my heart deeply at the bottom of my sorrow and lifts it up at the same time

[@opperr]

That was awesome, planes33333!!!!!

[@lorenrobertson8039]

I love this beautiful and raw song. Just amazing composition and meaning...thank you!

[@iiiBeautyGloomyiii]

"Exposed beyond the shadows You take the cup from me Your dirt removes my blindness Your pain becomes my peace..." i love those lines! love u jars of clay! u are great song writers and one-of-a-kind musicians! KUDOS to u guys!

[@hislove4ever7]

One of the best Christian bands, or just plain bands, of all time. Grew up on these guys! Thanks JoC.

[@gamgagirl]

He certainly does exist, and he loves you more than you realize! May God bless you, and please feel free to contact me with any questions. I was once an angry, bitter atheist. That all changed three years ago, when I realized how beautiful and all-encompassing God's love is.

[@qtshaley]

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. ~ 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV

[@EarnestTeaBass]

Religion and religious comments aside... this is a really good song, and this is an excellent performance of it. Thanks for posting it.

[@pitbullizzy]

I first heard these songs in college. My room mate used to play them endlessly. Now hearing this music makes me feel nostalgic... makes me remember walking outside in the chilly October days... stepping on the fallen orange golden leaves in Indiana. How time flies.

[@chadmonroe4145]

I was at this show!! One of the best nights of my life. For those who curious I am the one looking at the camera at the end of the video. Even though they told us not to. Lol

[@reubencalalang313]

This song does a great degree of cleansing in my spirit when I listen to it.

[@gastoncomeau6484]

I love Jars of Clay....their lyrics are so creative and so powerful...and having it live makes it so much better...thanks for posting.

[@jeremyhable2052]

i really like this song. reminds me of my friend past away two summer ago i would always go to computer lap on the internet back in 1996 and he would be there studying and i would be listing to this song and this song touch my heart . but anyways this cd is awsome

[@cherylstaton2937]

One of my absolute favorite Jars of Clay songs, their music has ministered so much to me over the years.

[@WeAreWhiteLight]

Also, this was the first contemporary christian band that really got me interested in the genre. I then bought every album they put out. I probably have well over 500 CD's that are contemporary christian. The message of GOD, love, hope, faith & charity speaks volumes to my heart & touches my soul on a daily basis. I am grateful for JOC & all the other CC bands.

[@bluefringes]

My cousin told me he was a believer, but one day while we were talking on the phone he told me about two men who came to his door sharing the gospel. He told them that he was a believer, and they asked him if he had ever actually said a prayer to receive Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and he told them "no". Then he told me he prayed with them to receive Jesus, and he said "Bob, something's different". If you're a believer and haven't prayed to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, pleas do

[@sthcute]

this song is awesome!! the lyric, the voices and the instruments... oh they really move me!! this is great!!

[@PleaseElaborate]

Certainly a beautiful song. I've learned to play it on the guitar, and it's an impressive instrumental piece as well. I never cried for it, but it hits me nonetheless. It's one of few songs that I can sing and play, and actually feel it. not just the music, but the passion behind it. It's an amazing feeling God Bless

[@debbyalverez4824]

Been a fan for years. Beautiful music, inspiring word of faith & love & Gods grace.

[@greenflintriver]

This song takes me to another place! Come Lord Jesus!!!

[@gamgagirl]

Don't listen to everyone else...your comment was just fine and correct. Drug addiction is certainly spiritual, and many will tell you that - including me! God bless and keep you!

[@gamgagirl]

totally agree!!! everything about this song is beautiful beyond words!

[@maikranze]

Absolutely amazing! I dont like most "popular Christian" music but wow!

[@MadamExec]

I absolutely must see these guys in concert !! Loved this video !

[@Amandat170]

This is my favourite Jars of Clay song...maybe tied with Love song for a Saviour but definitely amongst the top. So beautiful!!!!

[@Indieguitarist85]

by far this is one of my favorite songs by Jars of clay..

[@Newsky79]

A song that expresses emotions perfectly through the music! Truly a masterpiece :)

[@Calibeachgtl1024]

these guys are awesome !!! have been a fan since 1994s flood !!!! the guys are awesome.... keep rockin for the LORD !!!

[@WeAreWhiteLight]

Love these guys... my heart ached for this kind of music. JOC are so creative... music that touches your heart & really makes you think! GOD is so amazing!

[@robertoniklos]

that is a real God´s song ,and their inspirations that touch and reach our souls, awesome and i love it.

[@andie111061]

this song has helped me so mush over the years LOVE JARS OF CLAY

[@carolbrandon6368]

I love this song so much

[@GraphicJ]

This song makes me feel like I'm a foot away from Heaven's doorstep. Can't get any closer than that on earth. :)

[@gamgagirl]

words of encouragement. thank you

[@sthcute]

I love all this acoustic album... it's so moving, and it takes me to God's presence!! beautiful

[@webwezal]

Now this is a way to start the day. WOW GREAT, GREAT BAND... I just love the way this song moves through you. Wonderful video. Man this songs gives me chills, sounds just like the recording, Great live version. They are a great band to see live. I want to go to another concert of JOC. I'm going 2 catch up with some more great music from Jars Of Clay. Refreshing moment that i had with the posting of this live video. Thanks bunches.

[@JesusRad20]

AWESOME!! Greatest band on planet earth!!

[@planes3333]

I just relapsed on drugs after being sober for about 17months ..........I empathise with this song in feeling down, weak, and frail Jesus you are my only hope in this and in the next life!

[@uztigger]

2 Cor 4:7-8 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We spend so much time worrying about our earthen vessel, and forget the One inside! Do we realize how helpless and powerless we are apart from Christ in us, the hope of glory? His grace is sufficient, and His strength is made perfect in our weakness.

[@chrissimpson9846]

Masterpiece!

[@mijymotor]

What a beauty of a song! Really helped me these recent weeks!

[@melj.petrash897]

Soothing ~ Jars! ✝️☘️🐑🐑🐑💟🔥🎶🦋🌅🍁🐢🌊💖✌️😊

[@cheeseUout]

Man, i loooove this song. IMO this is JOC's most brilliant album ever. I don't understand why they don't make music as good as this anymore. Its all country and.....half assed (for lack of a better word)

[@Rawk4Life]

Just an FYI, this live performance not only is on the "Stringtown" album, but is also a hidden easter egg in the Jars of Clay "Eleventh Hour" live in concert DVD.

[@annesmom1]

It's also a hidden song on their self titled cd

[@maldy74]

anyone know where it took place? Just realizing I attended one of these, thinking I might have been there

[@jonfazzone5125]

What an Absolutely Amazing Performance

[@hhawki3]

Amen! thank God for His grace and mercy. He has given us so much! So many times I feel so frail. good to know His mercies are new each day.His banner over us is love!

[@craigwilson9797]

I'm not Christian, I'm Jewish, but I love this song

[@sandrabadillo3970]

He so amazing

[@GeoChandlerAz]

So Fantastic! The Music Speaks more than the Words. Anointed Truth.

[@rjtag777]

great song, God bless you guys! thanks for this..

[@lindy5064]

Love this song, So moving every time I listen to it.

[@Hathahasmeenay]

@planes3333 I'm so happy to here that!!!!! Hold your head high and sing not only his praises, but yours as well. Remember, you are a survivor!

[@PeterPhou]

Gorgeous song

[@hhawki3]

@planes3333 we have this treasure in earthen vessels to show that our power comes from God and not from ourselves. it's in His strength that we live and move and have our being. I appreciate you transparency and openness. I'll be praying for you and you pray for me too. we need each other in the body of Christ. every joint supplies. God bless!

[@gamgagirl]

Jesus is certainly not made up by man - he's as real as ever! If you ask with sincerity to feel God's love, He will give it to you. God bless

[@JUN1OR14]

It was a instrumental piece written by matt or Charlie for a class project. Later Dan with his metaphoric talent put words to it

[@matteach2]

I've come back to Jars of Clay after discovering them for the first time while I lived in Kentucky in 1996. "Flood" was the song back then.

[@Arimaarima71]

Great song.. love how the acustic guitars sound with the violins// very nice. This entire Jars of Clay CD is good/ Brings back lots of memories for me.

[@slkjaw57]

HOLY COW!!! I'm speechless.

[@sammyanthes]

this song is pure inspiration !!! i think it`s the best one they`d ever made.

[@RobBroad4th]

It's nice to see that song still works this well live.
