church planting

Grandfather Mountain cradles me tonight

caught in between Tennessee and the Carolinas

Yeah she’s sitting next to me

feet on the dash, been asleep since mile 23

you and i are meant to be

i can feel it, can’t you see?

ask anyone we know and they agree, yes they agree

that we look so good together

no matter what the weather

being cool or being clever

we look so good together

we look so good together

this must be what they call forever

i’ve kept every single letter

we look so good together

when she wakes i ask her how she feels

been listening to “3 then 4″ since Nashville

looking at me with sleepy eyes

she says, “hey baby, i’m alright” and take my hand so gently

you and i are meant to be

i can feel it, can’t you see?

ask anyone we know and they agree, yes they agree

that we look so good together

no matter what the weather

being cool or being clever

we look so good together

we look so good together

this must be what they call forever

i’ve kept every single letter

we look so good together

This is my friend Jason Amos Oaks.

Jason is one of my heroes.  I still know all the words to “Breakfast Boys Buffet” “The Belgian Frenzy”  and “The Church Needs to Rock.”  Jason has a passion for Jesus unlike any creative mind I’ve met.

He’s an artist.  But not in  the sense that you think art is.  You think art is…well, I won’t step on any toes.  Here’s his bio because he says it way cooler than I ever could.

His artwork can be found at  chocolate shores.

Here’s his awards.  He’s baller.
