3. Dead Man (Carry Me)
Favorite Lyrics: “I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral. But it was better than the party full of people I don’t really know. They’ve got hearts to break and burn. Dirty hands to feel the earth. There’s something in my veins, but I can’t seem to make it work.”

Conclusion
I enjoy all of these songs, especially the stellar top ten. Jars of Clay has been around since the hits of the 90’s, and they are about to embark on a 3rd decade together with relatively no end in sight. At Christmas time they have some of my favorite songs, if we have missed any of your favorites on the list please tell us at F&E in the comment section. God bless, Jesus Is King!
