Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

The Walk
Sawyer Brown
Down our long dusty driveway
I didn’t want to go
But I set out with tears in my eyes
Wondering
Daddy took me by the hand
Looked out at the school bus
And his little man
And said
Don’t worry boy
It’ll be all right
‘Cause I took this walk you’re walking now
Boy I’ve been in your shoes
You can’t hold back the hands of time
It’s just something you’ve got to do
So dry your eyes
I understand
Just what you’re going through
‘Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy I’ve been in your shoes
Down our long dusty driveway
I set my mind to go
Well I was eighteen
And wild and free
And wondering
Daddy took my by the hand
Looked at the world
And at his grown man
And said
Don’t worry boy
It’ll be all right
‘Cause I took this walk you’re walking now
Boy I’ve been in your shoes
Well you can’t hold back the hands of time
It’s just something you’ve got to do
So dry your eyes
I understand
Just what you’re going through
‘Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy I’ve been in your shoes
Down our long dusty driveway
This time we both would go
Well he had grown old and gray
And his mind
Was wandering
Daddy took me by the hand
Said I know where we’re going
And I understand
Don’t worry boy
It’ll be all right
‘Cause I took this walk you’re walking now
Boy I’ve been in your shoes
Well you can’t hold back the hands of time
It’s just something you’ve got to do
So dry your eyes
I understand
Just what you’re going through
‘Cause I took this same walk with my old man
Boy I’ve been in your shoes
Yes I took this walk you’re walking now
Boy I’ve been in your shoes

800 Pound Jesus
Sawyer Brown
I saw a garage sale
Pulled up in the yard
Found a statue of Jesus
That was eight feet tall
He held out his arms
And he seemed all alone
So I loaded him up
And I drove him home
Out by my driveway
He looks down the street
Long hair and sandals
Made of rebar and concrete
I painted him white
With a long purple robe
He’s the rock of ages
On a gravel road
He’s an 800 pound Jesus
Standing taller than a tree
He’s an 800 pound Jesus
A bigger man than you or me
I thought losin’ my job
Was the end of the world
‘Til my best pal
Ran off my best girl
I felt suicidal
With no real friend
So I walked outside
With a rope in my hand
Out by the statue
There’s a big oak tree
So I stood on his shoulders
And counted to three
I had every intention
Of buyin’ the farm
But when I jumped off
He caught me in his arms
He’s an 800 pound Jesus
Standing taller than a tree
He’s an 800 pound Jesus
A bigger man than you or me
I wanted to return
The favor to him
‘Cause I never had
A more solid friend
So I planted some flowers
All around his feet
And I bought him a flock
Of ceramic sheep
He’s an 800 pound Jesus
Standing taller than a tree
He’s an 800 pound Jesus
A bigger man than you or me
He’s a bigger man than you or me
Yeah
