Prize Worth Fighting For
Reunion Records
“At the feet of Jesus,” that’s where this CD found me at a time when I really needed it. It was late at night when my wife sent me a link to “Burdens” before we had even heard of Jamie Kimmett via the press. The song plays out like a modern psalm, with the vocalist crying out to God with a heavy heart. It’s followed up by a personal declaration of trust in “Down,” which I think is a great response to “Burdens.”
Further on, Kimmett redirects the focus from self to others on “Love Your Neighbor,” a catchy little tune about being the hands and feet of Christ. It’s hard to take the focus off of yourself when your spirit feels broken, but it really gives you a change of perspective and it can be healing as well.
The title track is another catchy tune that gives perspective as well with a focus on the eternal prize worth fighting for. When you’re feeling the “Burdens” it’s time to press on through prayer, supplication and praise. What a wonderful reminder and yet another powerful song.
Kimmett is out on tour with Casting Crowns as this project has been released giving him some much deserved attention. Check out his official website at https://www.jamiekimmett.com/ for videos, tour dates and more.
