Every Jars of Clay Song Ranked

Here I am again, subjecting myself to another fool’s errand…but it is complete. All 180 Jars of Clay songs ranked from 180-1. I certainly hope that there is more to come from my all-time favorite band, but if not then what a storied career it’s been. I wanted to write a blurb about every song but quickly abandoned the idea for now for the sheer scope of it. Being brief in writing isn’t my forte, and this is my favorite band! So, I won’t belabor things, because there’s a good chance you’ve skipped on by this part to see what number one was already because that’s what I’d do. So here we go, my personal ranking of every known recorded Jars of Clay song. Enjoy! 

P.S. Please let me know if I missed a song somewhere along the way, there was a lot of cutting and pasting.
