Working Ministry Blues

from Death, Thou Shalt Die by Jacob T. Skeen

    I can only describe it as a "Midnight Revival" that spans the bridge from the secular Saturday Night with its Devil's Music to the holy Sunday morning. It even comes with a hymn booklet with the lyrics of Jacob's testimony. For those unfamiliar, Skeen is a Salt Lake City one man band act. He was on his way to tour Italy before the Covid came down and destroyed his plans. Those who have seen him perform are probably familiar with his raw and loud sound. The album captures that but only more so. Far from a clean digital sound, the analogue recording has more in common with old punk records than most anything coming out today. If Jacob seeks to preach, it isn't in any holy temple. Like a true evangelical, he is bringing the good word directly to a sin filled underground of night clubs and juke joints. (John Whipple)

lyrics

All those words never meant a thing,
Lord, I never took the time to read,
the prophecies, that were told of old,
Now the devil comes to steal your soul.

And when the preacher blows with his hallowed 1.horn,
Well the cry is heard but there are few that mourn.
I’m shaking 2.dust from my feet, I’m washing 3.blood from my hands,
Well the times now up for thee, sinful man.

Now I’m working for the ministry,
The 4.seraphims coal has set me free,
Now when they lay me down to die,
My spirit will go up on high.

And when the preacher blows with his hallowed horn,
Cry is heard but there are few that mourn.
I’m shaking dust from my feet, I’m washing blood from my hands,
Well the times now up for thee, sinful man.

(Selah)

This bitter 5.burden has brought me down,
6.seven spirits all around me are found.
Now in this dreadful state I’m in, Lord, the misery will never end.

And when the preacher blows with his hallowed horn,
Well the cry is heard but there are few that mourn.
I’m shaking dust from my feet, I’m washing blood from my hands,
Well the times now up for thee, sinful man.
