This is Jeff Kratzman's Christian Page. I have two categories one for Secular and one for Christian songs. I've had a lifelong relationship with Christ and not to explore the spiritual side in music, would be foolish. I hope you enjoy the songs and take the time to follow-up on some of the Bible verses that inspired the songs. I welcome all feedback, but unpleasantness will just be deleted. This isn't a forum for theological debate. If you don't want to listen to Christian Music, try the Jeff Kratzman - Songs link. There's another 50 songs there.

Story behind the song
I took the original poem Go to the Grave by Nathanial Hawthorne and added two verses and the majority of the chorus. I expanded on the original theme by adding additional themes of redemption, eternity, faith and substitutionary atonement. The main acoustic is the original pass, with an overdubbed 12 string acoustic and Zolla 6 on the chorus.
Lyrics
1. *Go to the grave where friends are laid, *And learn how quickly mortals fade, *Learn how the fairest flower must droop *Learn how the strongest form must stoop *Learn that we are but dust and clay, Listen to the truth the words convey Jesus came and He was Raised (1 john 5:11-12, Rom 5:8-11,; John 3:16, I COR 15:34 Our Price has already been paid 2. For the fallen life- There is a cure, There is a place that will endure Eternity - Now there’s a word Loving mercy instead of what we deserve 3. *Who here on earth their Maker serve, *And never from his precepts swerve *The grave to them is but a road, *That leads them to that blessed home 4. Place my faith in the one that saves, The only one that conquered the grave The blood spilt that covers me And will praise His Jesus name boldly
