Backstory:

This song was written in conjunction with a teaching series our church did on marriage. It linked to a poignant drama depicting a couple needing to re-examine the foundation of their marriage.

Jack and Jill
written by Kara K. Smith

Verse
Jack and Jill went up the hill
As they started their new life
He took her hand and they began
As husband and wife
They built a little house
and furnished it with love
Thankful for the blessings from above

Chorus
And they sang:
The wind may blow
And the storms may come
The earth may move
And the clouds may hide the sun
But we know that there is nothing
That can tear us apart
If we both hold onto Jesus
And trust Him with our hearts

Verse
Then Jack and Jill moved up the hill
As his job would soon demand
Little ones came one by one
And filled her busy hands
The times they had together now
Seemed few and far between
So now and then he'd sing to her
Of the promise they had made

Chorus
And he sang:
The wind will blow
And the storms will come
The earth may move
And the clouds may hide the sun
But we know that there is nothing
That can tear us apart
If we just hold onto Jesus
And trust Him with our hearts

Verse
Now Jack would thrill as the King of the Hill
Where the view was mighty fine
The kids grew tall and they had it all
As he'd learned to wine and dine
Jill drove away the holes in her day
With her clubs and her cadillac
But deep inside she wondered
What was left of her and Jack

Bridge:
Then the market fell down
Jack lost his crown
And he thought he'd lose his mind
He stumbled and fell down the back of the hill
Jill tumblin' right behind
Broken at the bottom
Bleeding from the heart
Where was Jesus now that things were falling apart?

Chorus
For the wind blew strong
And the storm had come
The stars were falling from the sky
And they could not see the Son
They looked at one another
And almost turned away
But then saw amidst the rubble
The one thing that remained

For though they'd lost their hold
And though they'd lost their sight
Jesus never lost them in the night...

So Jack and Jill turned from the hill
And started their new life
He took her hand and they began
Husband and wife
