I have been writing from the time I could play my guitar at 12 years old, I'm 72 now and for the last few years I've been writing Christian music.
I'm a good ole boy from Georgia. In the early 70's I started a cover band, The Re-Creation. We played local gigs for several years. We all started having families and other jobs paid a lot more, so we gave up on music. I've dabbled in song writing over the years. I've been a Christian for a long time but, and as I've gotten older, I feel I have a calling from God to write Christian music. There are enough of my old lady done left with my dog songs. I'm sharing the good news of Jesus and His plan for salvation to an increasingly damaged world. My hash tag is #JesusLovesYou The love of Jesus comes before everything else.

Story of the first Easter
Lyrics
The First Easter Day (The stone was rolled away) 2018 By Donnie Priest Mary ran ahead to the grave The stone had been rolled away When she looked into the tomb He was gone just an empty room She said to a man standing there Jesus is gone, do you know where? He said, Why do you cry? Do not fear Look no more for I am here (chorus) I must go, but Ill return Go out and spread the word The stone has been rolled away On this first Easter day The disciples hid in their room Jesus said, Peace be with you Come see my side and my hands I arose, Gods word still stands As my Father has sent me I send you out so all can see All will be saved that believe On judgment day He will receive (chorus) I must go, but Ill return Go out and spread the word The stone has been rolled away On this first Easter day (outro) I must go, but Ill return Go now and spread the word Teach Gods loving grace I go now to prepare a place I must go but Ill return Go now and spread the word The stone has been rolled away On that first Easter day On that first Easter day
