    Nominated by GMA Canada for Folk Album of the Year in 2020, "What I Heard, What I Saw" lends flesh and bone, ache and longing to the outcasts, prophets and would-be followers found in the book of Mark. More than that, the album is a confessional: a candid retelling of Kristen’s own journey stumbling through hard questions towards faith, finding meaning in the grit and dust of roads unknown. Collaborating with award-winning producer/guitarist Murray Pulver (The Bros. Landreth, Steve Bell, Red Moon Road), Kristen offers a folk meditation on these challenging narratives, which have informed deep conviction and creativity among the religious and non-religious alike for generations.

lyrics

Even Dogs

Every time they come around
It’s the same damn story
“Shutter windows, keep them out
Wait here with the dogs.”

So it came as no surprise
Your door was never open
Couldn't help but wonder why
You came to town at all

Oh don’t you people see?
Even dogs under table
Eat the children’s crumbs
I’m coming to you needy
But I’m standing up taller
With my eyes cast down

So I’m outside on the ground
And you and I are strangers
Took the courage I had left
And knocked upon your door

My people need you now
We need a healer
So would you just hear me out
And be the one I came to call?

Oh don’t you see
Even dogs under table
Eat the children’s crumbs
There are thousands out here hungry
Will your bread yet be broken
For the ones still shuttered out?

Cause we’re waiting
Oh I’m out here waiting
If you would hear me now

7.24-30
