Nail Scarred Hands

Lyrics to a song that I had been working on for quite some time. I finally put it together. Now I need the time to record it. :)

Nail Scarred Hands
Lyrics by Dave "Doc" Rogers

She says little prayers as she watches them sleep
She cries to her Lord with a pain too deep
She tries to believe everything's going to be all right
So, every night she places them in His nail scarred hands

"Things don't make any sense," she cries once again
The children are all grown and lost in sin
They don't live the life she's taught them
So, every night she places them in His nail scarred hands

Nail scarred hands were pierced for you and me
Nail scarred hands by His blood we are redeemed
He went to the cross to take away all our sin
So, every night He can carries us in His nail scarred hands

One day they told her, "You're going to die."
"But what about my babies," I heard her cry
"They don't know you, Jesus. Who'll watch over them?"
He said to place them in His nail scarred hands

They all gathered around one afternoon
They all paid their respects, some cried "Too soon."
The preacher prayed and they lowered her down
She found rest in His nail scarred hands

Nail scarred hands were pierced for you and me
Nail scarred hands by His blood we are redeemed
He went to the cross to take away all our sin
So, every night He can carries us in His nail scarred hands

He says little prayers as he watches them sleep
He cries to his Lord with a pain that's too deep
He tries to believe everything's going to be all right
So, every night he places them in His nail scarred hands

Nail scarred hands were pierced for you and me
Nail scarred hands by His blood we are redeemed
He went to the cross to take away all our sin
So, every night He can carries us in His nail scarred hands

Nail scarred hands were pierced for you and me
Nail scarred hands by His blood we are redeemed
He went to the cross to take away all our sin
So, every night He can carries us in His nail scarred hands

This would be really great if you could record it with the music and sing it for us to hear how everything sounds. Again your faith and joy just shine through in your writing.

[Teresa Bridges]

Doc, you are amazing! I could hear the melody. Very powerful, very beautiful. Thanks for sharing this lovely piece.

[The Spaniard]

Its so easy to lose faith this day and age, Its good to see people still writing in what they believe in. well written

[Helen Woodward]

I was thinking this was repetitive in the extreme, but realised these are lyrics, very powerful lyrics, do you have a melody? It's comforting in many ways...thank you...this is the very reason I joined this group, hopefully no suicide and "love done me wrong" poetry!

[Alex-li Tandem]

Very powerful lyrics. I 'd like to hear the song!

[Amanda Crandall]

very beautiful lyrics, can easily digest the tempo. I like the chorus and the sense of 'yeah it sucks but ultimately it will be ok"

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Hello, I came here from Crystals.

This is a beautiful set of lyrics..
So true and so sad.. the children grown and lost in a world of sin.

I reaLly enjoyed this, very beautiful.

this is eloquent - I would love to hear it although I would probably bawl like a baby. I can see where the listener would be moved to tears on this one - and the message is awesome.

[Red Raven]

I have no words to say, except thank you Doc for giving me a chance to look back and think about my life, the life of this world. Thank you.
