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

POINTING OUT SOMEBODY ELSE'S WRONGS
WE LIKE TO THINK WE'VE GOT IT ALL TOGETHER
AND WE DO, RIGHT UP TILL WE DON'T
CHORUS
AIN'T NONE OF US EVERY BEEN PERFECT
YEAH THE TRUTH IS, THERE'S ONLY BEEN ONE WHO EVER WAS
WHEN WE ALL GOT SINS OF OUR OWN
HEY EVERYBODY

SOMETIMES I'M THE ONE I BEAT UP THE MOST
HEAVEN ONLY KNOWS THE HELL I PUT MYSELF THROUGH
HAUNTED BY MY FAILURES LIKE A GHOST
I'M SO GLAD HE DOESN'T JUDGE ME LIKE I ALWAYS DO
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS 3
AIN'T NONE OF US EVERY BEEN PERFECT
YEAH THE TRUTH IS, THERE'S ONLY BEEN ONE WHO EVER WAS
BUT WE'RE ALL IN SUCH A HURRY TO BE JUDGE AND JURY
WHEN WE ALL GOT SINS OF OUR OWN
AREN'T THEY HEAVY
EVERYBODY
DROP YOUR STONES
The lyrics of the song "Stones" by The Crabb Family explore the tendency of humans to find faults in others while neglecting their own shortcomings. The first verse acknowledges this behavior, highlighting how people are often quick to point out the wrongs of others without realizing their own imperfections. It draws attention to the irony that even though we may think we have it all together, we can still make mistakes.
The chorus reinforces the idea that no one has ever been perfect except for one, likely referring to Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the need to let go of our judgmental attitudes and the rush we feel to act as judges and juries towards others. The lyrics remind us that we all have our own sins and faults, so it's important to avoid casting stones at others.
The second verse takes a introspective turn, with the singer admitting to being their own harshest critic. The metaphor of being haunted by failures like a ghost depicts the self-destructive nature of constantly beating oneself up over mistakes. However, the lyrics express gratitude that God doesn't judge the way we often do ourselves.
The third chorus echoes the message of the first chorus, emphasizing that none of us have ever been perfect. It reiterates the urgency to let go of our judgmental attitudes and reminds us that we all carry our own burdens of sins and mistakes.
The final line, "Aren't they heavy, everybody, drop your stones," serves as a powerful plea to everyone. It invites us to reflect on the weightiness of our own flaws and to let go of our tendency to judge others. By dropping our figurative "stones," we can free ourselves from the burdens of judgment and embrace a more compassionate and understanding perspective.

Peggy
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
