From a church in rural Kentucky to an annual concert audience of 800,000, the Crabb Family has managed to break through musical genre barriers to reach people from all walks of life with the message of the gospel. From the beginning of their musical ministry nearly 10 years ago, they had no way of knowing just what was in store.
Although their roots are primarily Southern Gospel, the Crabb Family’s recording, Blur The Lines features a variety of styles and genres. The Crabb Family also reached a vast concert audience. Their schedule lead them from the Grand Ole’ Opry to a Contemporary Christian Festival in South Dakota and everything in between the two venues.
In August 2006, the siblings: Jason, Kelly, Adam, Aaron and Terah, decided it was time to move to a new season in their lives -- to keep with tradition and continue to pursue their separate ministries. Their last tour date as a group was August 1, 2007

The Crabb Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verse 1:
I noticed you staring as I raised my hands in praise.
There must be some questions in your mind I have raised.
But, I'll try to help you with your understanding.
When you learn of this man Jesus, you will be amazed
If you only knew, All I've been through
Then, you would understand why I love him so.
If you could only see, Just where he found me.
If you'd been there when he found me, then you would know.
Verse 2:
I was the lost one that had drifted far away.
I walked away from God abusing His grace.
Then I slipped and stumbled beneath my transgressions.
I called out for His help and mercey, Now today I am saved.

on The Least That I Can Do
The least that I can do
What a wonderous thing is this
That a virgin shall conceive
As the Angel spoke these words
It must have been hard to believe
Still she humbled to the task
Though the whispers must have stung
She counted it a privilege
And through Mary it’s begun
She said,
Chorus: It’s the least that I can do
For the most that you have done
And in your time of need
How could I turn and run
For all that you have done
From the manger to the tomb
It’s the least that I can do for all that you have done
Standing ‘neith the cross
She fixed her eyes on him
A multitude of memories
Surely played again
Did she think of manger scenes
Or Angel lullabies
Then from the cross he mentions her
She’ll stay with him till he dies
Chorus
Tag: for all that you have done
From the manger to the tomb
It’s the least that I can do for all that you have done
