Amen Chosenone,

... Same with Jars' "Flood" song which I think has a stong msg as well.

Funny you should mention that band and song. I was a college student when that song came out. I heard it on mainstream radio and had no idea that they were a Christian band (I was not a Christian at the time). I remember I had the album or the single and was listening to it repeatedly so this part from the chorus kept going through my mind.

But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up

I thought, man this sounds like they are singing about that biblical flood with Noah and the Ark. I wonder what they are talking about?
Up to that point my only exposure to Christian music had been Stryper, WhiteHeart, Twila Paris, and Amy Grant. I seriously thought there wasn't much more in the way of Christian rock out there (boy was I wrong).
I wont say that this song made me "see the light" but it was certainly a seed planted in my heart.
