Jesus Creek lyrics
There stands a tree house atop of cross hill An old woman lives there against her will Mother says she's holy, I think she's just ill or afraid Tiny log cabin down by Jesus Creek New baby boy, it's a house without sleep, oh Judas it's quite, you don't hear a peep from that place Drug store sells bibles and lighters alike Sin and salvation sold at discount price Teller's been broken since he lost his wife in her sleep Good people walking down to the shore Hoping to wash up and find something more Preacher, he preaches as if it's a chore to give aid On Sunday they gather for the sake of their lives Old woman, a baby, a man with no bride Preacher says they have the devil inside and need help But when nighttime falls, they have nothing to grieve A sermon not even a pastor believes Baby, so peaceful, falls back asleep by the creek A woman who prays all night and all day Poor, lonely man trying to keep the faith, oh Two parents who kneel every night when they pray. Are they lost? Let him without sin first cast a stone Like Moses to pharaoh, let my people go God loves his children more than you could ever know
writing it
In terms of the album, this is the first song I wrote. I wrote it in just a few minutes. We are responsible for our actions and our actions alone. But we can't do it alone. We need love from others.
recording it
This is the only song on the album that was recorded in an actual studio. A friend of mine pulled me into the studio at Utah Valley University. He walked me through the process, we took a few takes, and it was done in about an hour. It was a great experience.
