 Jaci Velasquez On My Knees December 13, 2007
CMontana
I searched for her CD because I wanted her song "On My Knees". I had not heard any of her other music. When I got the CD and listened to it I was so pleased to find that I liked every song on it. It is wonderful Christian music and I listen to it often.

I WILL REST IN YOU is beautiful. Even when we feel far away from Him, He is ever near, a watchful unfathomably LOVING Father who knows all our sorrows, tribulations, disappointments, defeats. We can slow down through His HOLY SPIRIT (not of ourselves) and enter into the REST He has prepared for His beloved. I am moved every time I hear this song. As I am sure you can tell, this song drew me to purchasing the CD.

During her ten-year tenure in the music business, the multi-talented and gorgeous Jaci Velasquez has racked up 16 #1 songs (along with a few Dove Awards). A 17-song collection of her best songs came from her five albums (her 1996 debut album, "Heavenly Place", her 1998 self-titled, "Jaci Velasquez", 2000's "Crystal Clear", 2003's "Unspoken" and 2005's "Beauty Has Grace"). My personal favorites are "Un Lugar Celestial (A Heavenly Place)", the worship songs, "On My Knees", "I Will Rest In You", "God So Loved" and "Adore" and the society-conscious Christian bangers, "Every Time I Fall", "We Can Make A Difference" and "If This World". It rounds out with the soulful duet, "Colors of the Heart" (featuring legendary gospel singer Oleta Adams) because not only is it a touching song, but Jaci sings in Spanish to add some flavor to the song.
With this banging collection of songs, a rising movie career and as owner of her new record label (Apostrophe Records), Jaci Velasquez continues to rise to the challenges of being a Christian in a fallen world. Pray for her continued walk with Jesus Christ and continued success for her music career. Praise the Lord!

This CD contains a good selection of songs showcasing the great voice that is Jaci Velasquez's - a voice that is reminiscent of Mariah Carey with a Latin vibe. My favorite song is "Un Lugar Celestial". It is a well-crafted song that is very beautiful, passionate, spiritual and dare I say it - sensual. The video version is spellbinding.
Other favorites include:
"On My Knees"
"God So Loved"
"I Will Rest in You"
"Speak for Me"
"God Loves You"
"Adore"
"Just a Prayer"
I would like to also draw special attention to "Imagine Me Without You". This is amongst her best. The song is about her intimate and close relationship with God. But the lyrics are written in such a way that they could easily pass for that of a romantic love song. This song is of such a high quality that I am somehwhat puzzled why it didn't crossover and become a mainstream hit.
I would also like to comment on "Lay it Down". The song is a confessional ballad with a theme about learning to "let go and let God" - a very important spiritual lesson. This is a track from the newly released "Beauty Has Grace" CD and presents a different side to Jaci's voice. It sounds more raspy.
Some have commented that Jaci may be losing her voice. I don't see it that way. I think what we have here is the emergence of a young woman with more of life's experiences and it is being reflected in her voice. I rather like the change.
I only gave the CD 4 stars because of the selections of some songs, namely, "Everytime I Fall", "We Can Make a Difference", and "Unspoken". These songs have a good message but they either have a more hard rock sound or an excess of "electronica".
I think an accoustic sound is more spiritual and would suit her better. I would like to see more emphasis on the Spanish guitar, and piano - less emphasis on the electric rock guitar and synthesized sound effects. Also, I would like her to select some Christian standards.
Incidentally, her cover photo on this CD is a strikingly beautiful one.
