Cover art for The Maker lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

i think it's about a sinner... "I could not see for the fog in my eyes I could not feel for the fear in my life"

who open himself "I stand with arms wide open"...

to God's Mercy... "From across the great divide, In the distance I saw a light Of Jean Baptiste's he's walking to me with the Maker" "I'm not a stranger in the hands of the Maker"

Dear friends, it's a Gospel Song. You know who is Jean Baptiste (the last of the Prophets) and the Maker is Jesus Christ.

But I could also say, as the the Bible say, Jesus walked towards Jean Baptiste, and Jean Baptiste saw Jesus and recognized Him as The Maker.
