Top Ten Songs by Third Day

Third Day's best work seems to be the songs that either (a) talk about certain strugles of the life of a believer as he/she tries to understand who God is, or (b) Are a re-do of older hymns and psalms. A few good examples of the first kind are songs such as Cry Out to Jesus, Mountain of God and Show Me Your Glory. On the other hand, songs that are good re-dos of older songs include Agnus Dei, God Of Wonders and Better is One Day. As long their songs include big emphasis on worship and understanding of God, they'll continue to be one of my favorite bands. Their songs have a pretty nice mix of introspective music and some shades of rock. Mountain of God is one of their latest songs, and also one of their best ones. You'll find ten of their best songs listed below. However, I really recommend that you listen to at least the top 3 - Mountain of God, Better Is One Day and Cry Out To Jesus. Also, if you want to download any music online (legally), please consider this program. That's the best and the only way to download music that I know of.

Mountain Of God - This song deals with the classic question of suffering in life. If God really does exist, then why doesn't He just make my life easy? Well, that's because God is more concerned with your character than with your comfort. He would rather develop your character than make sure that you have enough money and so on. The part of the song that really covers this well is the chorus. The song emphasizes a few important points - God is with us, just as Jesus promised, throuhg everything. However, we sometimes have to go through suffering before we'll repent and change. Eve in the early church, God used persecution to spread the gospel throughout the world.

Chorus Lyrics :
Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

Better Is One Day - This song talks about the incredible honor and privilege that believers have of standing in God's presence in His courts. This song is a rehash of Psalm 84 that actually talks about the physical Temple of Jerusalem built by Solomon. The best part about the song is that it's all about God, and not about humans. For example, a lot of the worship music today talks about how God makes the singer 'feel'. However, Better Is One Day is a song that talks just about the plain and glorious worship of God. It has nothing to do with how I feel today and Jesus helped me it's just an honest song that shows the awe of God and the joy that God gives.

Cry Out To Jesus - This is a powerful song that relates very well with Mountain of God and you can actually see the development of Third Day using these two songs. Mountain of God talks about how one must go though the vally to stand upon the Mountain of God. But what do you do when you're in the valley? When you're making the way to the mountain of God, but are in utter darkness in the middle? When the friends or relatives are dying, you're stuck in sin and addictions...deception is rampant...what do you do? The answer is simple - Cry Out To Jesus.
