Article: Behind The Song: "Out Of My Hands"

Acclaimed for its music and leadership as humanitarians, Jars of Clay geared up for the October 5th release of its community-inspired project, Jars of Clay Presents The Shelter. The four men at the heart of the project--Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Matt Odmark and Stephen Mason--find their calendars filling up with appearances designed to shed light on the new project, inspired from an old Irish proverb, β€œIt is in the shelter of each other that the people live.” I am a long-time fan of Jars of Clay and credit the Gospel messages from their landmark debut album for leading me to my salvation, for which I’m eternally grateful. I was amazed that as I was still savoring The Long Fall Back To Earth and trying to guess which single would be next from that incredible album, I heard about The Shelter.
