Different than other Michael Card Albums
Michael Card is a fantastic Christian singer. Not only is his music good, but the lyrics show a profound insight into Scripture.
This CD is different than most of his music. It is still very enjoyable to listen to, but the lyrics show a little bit of the darker side of life. I've given this CD to friends who have suffered from depression, as well as quoting the words to "The Edge." This song reflects his own experience with depression and determination to not go over that edge. Some of those friends have told me that his message is very helpful to them.
There are profound concepts in "The Poem of Your Life" and "Things We Leave Behind" in addition to being beautifully sung with phrases that are easy to remember and sing along.
This CD is definitely worth the money. And, if a loved one suffers from depression, I would recommend this as an excellent gift for them.
Love this CD
Very good music. Love Michael Card's songs, they have a lot of meaning. It was a used CD and was sold at a great price too. Thank you, Amazon, for good buys and great customer service! from J.S. Dayton, OH
A Masterpiece
Mr. Card has a unique way of expressing deep and penetrating thoughts through both his lyrics and his music. In this album, his insights into the highs and lows of various dimensions of living and relationships are quite stimulating. Often, the songs are arranged in couplets (one song emphasizing one aspect of a given area and the next taking the other perspective). I think the words to the chorus of the title song summarize it very well, "The pain and the longing, the joys and the moments of light, are the rhythm and rhyme, the free verse of the poem of life".
Incredible CD
This CD is very encouraging. I really enjoy not only the music but the powerful words.
Music to soothe your soul and lift your spirit.
Michael Card is by far the best songwriter and singer of scriptural songs. His album "Life" is a double album and is his very early works which were on tapes and were titled "The Final Word", "Scandalon" and "Known by the scars". I have waited years for these earlier works to be put on CD. It is a pity that Amazon.com does not stock it! I bought this album in South Africa. I own almost every CD that he has ever produced.
