Lyric discussion by OpinionHead 

The meaning of this song: a simple lament for how human nature can be turned around if it were simply decent toward each other and faithful to heaven. These guys rock at how they can write a beautiful optimistic, faith-filled melody. The human subject here has hope not in man but in God above. The art the subject creates is meant for God, not for mankind. He or she has faith that God can change mankind, if people "see the art" that God produced "in me" and that person ends up profoundly changed, then God has won another soul. Jars of Clay is truly an awesome sonic ministry.
