There’s often a fine line between originality and eccentricity, when it comes to songwriting, lyricism and music making in general. A pop writer in the general marketplace can be as outlandish and freakish as they want to be to appeal to their niche, but Christian writers are working in a genre where driven messages have to communicate the Gospel in powerful ways.

“Sometimes” is one of Jerry Collins’ most sonically artful tracks to date. His recently more overt Christian impulses has never felt less like a conscious affectation than it does here.
