J. Tillman - Master's House

I have really been digging this song lately. And it is such a great representation of the Gospel. Love it.



You won't need a dime to board in the master's house

You won't need a dime to board in the master's house
'Cause he'll sell you a thousand for a hundred
And tell you the rest is on loan
Until you try to build a house of your own
You owe every crossbeam and stone
You won't need a dime

You won't need a tool to work in the master's field
You won't need a tool to work in the master's field
'Cause he'll tell
you that work is beneath you
'Till your shirt is hanging off like a sheet
'Till suddenly the work of your hands
Is just keeping out of well-laid plans
You won't need a tool

You won't need a sin to pray in the master's church
You won't need a sin to pray in the master's church
Every reason he gives you to fall at his feet and be saved
For wars that his grandfathers waged
How easily the heart of man is tamed
You won't need a sin

You won't need a guide to find the master's door

You won't need a guide to find the master's door
'Cause everyone who's gone before you
Has been pounding it down to the floor
While we were plotting his end
He bought all our land and moved in
You won't need a guide

'Cause the master rules where the master divides
