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

Definitely a wonderful hymn I could almost hear bagpipes playing softly in the background as i read this. A lovely song with a great message.


Great Job!!!
