    LYRICS
    I've got a hammer and an awkward nail that won't go down
    I can try real hard but still it won't go down
    Tell me how to do it Jesus
    Tell me how to do it Jesus
    I don't know how
    The shadow in the corner is a stray cat that we found
    I paid a thousand bucks once to keep that cat around
    Now it's lying on the pavement
    And the kids are crying, "save it!"
    But I don't know how
    Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool?
    Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus?
    What's amazing to me about a man like You
    Is that you raised the dead but had to suffer too, Jesus
    I've got a mountain up ahead
    And a few I've left behind
    And I'm getting kind of scared of what I'm going to find
    Were you scared to do it Jesus?
    Tell me how you did it Jesus
    I don't how
    Cause If the present is a place that
    my future will define
    I want to slow things down and take a little time
    Can you help me do it Jesus?
    I want to live a little Jesus
    But I don't know how
    Did you straighten that nail with a magic tool?
    Did you ever get tired and want to change the rules, Jesus?
    What's amazing to me about a man like You
    Is that you raised the dead but had to suffer too, Jesus

    This song you played at TFH in Rochester NY during a free evening session. This meant the world to my wife and I. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a kiwi. You ministered by telling your stories and singing your songs. We had very little money, we were only married less than a year and had real concerns from the location on the tumor. It surrounded her pituitary gland, optic nerve and curoted artery. We are 10 yrs removed and she is doing well. After years of medications, MRI'S and family/ churches misunderstanding this theme in your song. We are still here and still thanking Jesus for the hammer and the awkward nails in life. Thank you for being a shinning light from a fellow adopted son to another, keeping singing and stay blessed.

    Jason's music is very healing. He understands the humanity of Jesus. I love it. Because a lot of Christians overlook the humanity of Jesus and how he still relates to us today. The religious and super spiritual have been exhausting me lately. Thank the Lord I know him personally.

    Jesus. The sweetest name I’ve truly ever known. My life can look simple dull without goals and yet knowing I am His and I know Him a little more each day, is all I ever need. I desire things but I am so sensitive to the reality that my every fiber of my existence really desires Him. Only Jesus can truly satisfy.

    You are such a blessing! Your lyrics are stark & honest. They ask the hard questions, while remaining in a submitted place before a holy God to receive the sometimes hard answers. Having 3 sons, I know personally, stepping up to a near impossible scenario that forces you to dig deep for heaven's perspective.Your songs have always done that for me. Stretched me to hear the Heartbeat of Heaven. Thank you! God Bless!

    I love the Austin Texas sound lived in Dripping springs for over 25 years Austin TX sounds great and hits my heart good. My son Jacob Diaz passed away from the after effects of chemo over 15 years ago my son showed me this artist Jason Upton I know my son is in heaven. My son said Gold dust with fall from the sky when Jason Upton would sing are the Angels came out in the background after recording alone big fan when He comes to Austin I would love to go see him

    This song, in 2015, God used to get me through the most difficult season of mine existence...that part about Jesus raising the dead but still having to suffer it, seemed to help me cope with adultery when I was falsely accused of the same yet had remained faithful to my former spouse of 26+ years. I bought it that summer & still listen to it often. I wish the song story you had shared then (I think at Big Church Day Out ?) could somehow accompany it, now ~

    i adore this song, i heard you sing it live a few years ago when you came to England, i cant remember where it was now, but i was sitting in my wheel chair and you said about how there was always something in every day to write about, you just have to look for it, something along those lines and those words stuck as i am a lyricist, now i dont stop writing, if i ever have a block for writing i remember what you said that evening, thank you :) its strange i remember this song as two of my cats passed away 4 months between each other, i still have 4 cats, but its not right without the other two here :(

    God’s Army is on the move. Joel 2 describes a great people coming, a great and mighty army. A great & powerful army will spread over the mountains, (Gods true church)
    There has never been anything like it before and there will never be anything like it again. In front of them a fire destroys. In back of them a flame burns. (This is a spiritual view) The land in front of them is like the garden of Eden; the land behind them is like an empty desert. Nothing will escape from them. They look like horses. (This is Joel describing powerful people the best way he knows how, using horses as an illustration)and they run like war horses. It is like the noise of chariots, rumbling over the tops of the mountains, like the noise of a roaring fire burning dry stalks. They are like a powerful army lined up for battle. When they see them, nations shake with fear, and everyone’s face becomes pale. They charge like soldiers; they climb over the wall like warriors. they all march straight ahead and do not move off their path. They do not run into each other because each walks in line. They break through all efforts to stop them and keep coming. They run into the city. They run at the wall and climb into the houses, entering through windows like thieves. Before them, earth & sky shake. The sun & the moon become dark, and the stars stop shining. The Lord shouts out orders to his army. The army is very large! Those who obey him are very strong! The Lord’s day of judging is an overwhelming and terrible day. No one can stand up against it!
