About the artist

Paving New Roads Beyond Contemporary Christian Music
“Faith is an important component of our music; but really our music is about how we meet life through our faith.”

That’s the synopsis from Ron Lawrence, one of the composers for the Jericho Road Crew. There is a lot of great music out there, and contemporary Christian music is one of the fastest growing genres in music today. Much of that music rightly praises God and glorifies His Son, Jesus Christ. For the Jericho Road Crew, however, something more is needed to reach a world that seems to be looking the other way.

Since 1988, the Jericho Road Crew has offered a variety of music from different genres: from gospel to celtic, country to rock and roll. The music is always full of fun, harmonies and hope, lyrics and love. Our album, "Moonlight Harvest", is our first offering with all original music. The Road Crew has always played a mix of secular and Christian music— feeling like that opens more doors to our message. More and more, our music reflects this mix of God and world within each song.

Lyrics

Ooh hoo, oo - ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ...

Christmas morn’
the presents underneath the tree.
Children trying
to be as good as they can be.
And I’m awake
as three worried hours of sleep will tease,
with nagging thought:
Just a little more Jesus, please.

Ooh hoo, oo - ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ...

The feast is done
Our boys in Lego® ecstasy.
We snuggle in
To watch some Disney® on TV.
The passing news, shows
an embattled mother on her knees.
Her tear stained eyes, beg
“Just a little more Jesus, please”

Ooh hoo, oo - ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ...

I’m not sure
how to help my children pray;
But I’m sure
it would be easy to miss
the point of Christ - mas day…
Uh Huh

Time for bed.
Our kids in matching reindeer wear.
My sleepy girl
has tinsel caught up in her hair.
I tuck her in,
‘n as she gives my neck a squeeze,
(I think) for her sake
Just a little more Jesus, please.

Ooh hoo, oo - ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ...
