Jeremy Camp delivers his new CD, Beyond Measure, and it doesn't disappoint. Personally, I didn't think it would be below par because everything he has done to date has been awesome.On his fourth album he delves into some personal material, particularly on the title track Beyond Measure, a song that reminds us that we should be grateful for all God has given us.
`I've faced a great tragedy, but have seen the works of what you bring, A display of faith that you give, I don't know if I will ever understand the depth of what it is you've done inside, but I know I won't find any worth apart from you''.
On one and a half listens my favourite tracks are Beyond Measure, Everything, Tonight, What It Means and When You Are Near, which very interestingly was co-written by Jason Wade of Lifehouse.
Once I saw that writing credit my expectation shot up and the song didn't let me down. I was kind of hoping that the track Everything was a cover of the Lifehouse song, I'd love to see someone like Jeremy Camp, a recognised Christian artist, do a take on my favourite secular Christian song.
The verdict is simple, if you like Jeremy Camp you'll definitely like this CD. If you haven't heard of him before you've got to start with the Stay album, it's a ripper. (Not that this one isn't a good example it's just hard to vigorously recommend something you've only heard once all the way through, at this stage).
Now all we need is an Australian tour....

I must get me a copy of this CD, thanks for the review Ray. An Australian tour sounds like a great idea. you know Third Day are meant to be coming out in Jan 07?
Yeah I don't mind Third Day but in saying that I don't have any of their albums. I'm really getting into Beyond Measure. Particularly the title track, so much so I changed the words at the top of my blog. I think that is something we should always remember.
