Growing up in Nashville during the 1950s and ’60s, I spent many Saturday afternoons watching Flatt & Scruggs. When they removed their hats, Lester would announce it was time for a “sacred number.” In that tradition, this episode of Noted Stories is called “Bible Story Songs.”
One afternoon when I was visiting my dad and playing music together, he suggested that I write a song called “Writing in the Sand,” based on John 8. Jesus prevented a woman caught in adultery from being stoned by challenging anyone without sin to cast the first stone. I followed Dad's suggestion and wrote the song—it tells the story from an unusual perspective—that of the guilty man who was never brought before Jesus.
The second song, “The Mountain,” was inspired by the Sermon on the Mount. I imagined what it must have been like for an ordinary person to stand among thousands and hear words that would change the world.
The final song comes from Numbers 22, where Balaam’s donkey sees an angel, refuses to move, and is given a voice by God. Long before Francis the Talking Mule or Mister Ed, the Bible had its own talking animal. Since Scripture never names the donkey, I did. The song is called “You Can Call Me Sam.”
