Music Video Monday: Jericho Road

For this week's music video selection, I wanted to include the video of Jericho Road's awesome song "Lift Me Up" but couldn't find it on YouTube. The only thing I found was a slideshow created by a fan. For those who have never heard of Jericho Road, the best way to describe them is to call them "the Mormon 98 Degrees." If you know that 90s guy band 98 Degrees (a quartet that featured brothers Nick and Drew Lachey), then you'll understand the music style of Jericho Road. They're practically interchangeable.

I heard this song earlier in the decade and recently "rediscovered" it when I decided to put the band's greatest hits compilation CD on heavy rotation. This song really struck me, lyrically. It describes the feelings I'm currently having about work related issues and the next step I want to take that will take me closer to what I want for myself in terms of career satisfaction, contribution to society, and even the search for the ever elusive relationship.

So, sit back, listen to the lyrics, and maybe it will touch your heart as well. Oh, and you can ignore the heavy religious imagery on screen if it bothers you.
