Welcome! I am a singer/songwriter of different styles of Christian and Country Music....Enjoy the message I bring, and may your heart be ministered to.
Hello! I'm very glad you stopped in to listen and visit. :) The message I carry is simply this...Jesus loves you and I do too. Hope you enjoy what you hear, and get a blessing from the music, as God does not give His people gifts to just set them upon the shelf, and never be used. I'm only as good as the Lord helps me to be, and I'm thankful for the blessings He has bestowed upon me. I'm NOT perfect, never claimed to be; but on the other hand, I have a message to minister in song, and I do that to the best of my ability. I fully realize there are many songs I demo here that don't fit my style/voice, but I can't run out and get a singer that fits everytime I write a song. :) What I write or cover comes from the heart. I've endured many hard trials in my life, and each one has, in one way or the other made its way into a song that others can relate to. All of my songs except for noted exceptions are free downloads. I'm not a professional by any means, nor am I interested in becoming one; and so the music is given away just as freely as the message was given to me.

Story behind the song
As a truckdriver, I pass many interesting places, among those, churches. Most have got signs out front that contain thought-provoking sayings....I read one of those, and a song came a few days later.
Lyrics
A Child was born in Bethlehem, All part of God's glorious plan, To freedom from all sin, That separated us from Him. This Child would grow into a man, Sacrifice all, for us, He'd stand, Hung from a Cross upon a Hill, But in His death, life would begin. Because the Key to Heaven's Door, Was hung upon a Nail. Imagine how His Mother felt, She watched the pain that He was dealt. Almost too much for her to see, What He went through for you and me, He was her firstborn son, Whom she had raised since He was young. She stood aside as best she could, Knew this was for the greater good. Because the Key to Heaven's Door, Was hung upon a Nail. Painful nails put through His hands, Two more went through His feet. When He hung his head and died, Our Salvation was complete. I'm so glad that Satan lost the war, On the day that Jesus died. For He obeyed His Father's Will, Oh, and He knew He could not fail. Because the Key to Heaven's Door, Was hung upon a Nail.

Hello Tammy, Tis almost Easter, and this song is fitting for this celebration....I love how you weaved the lyics like threads into a tapestry, painting a picture of the greatest story ever told, a true story of pain, suffering, sacrifice and the hope of our salvation.... Have a wonderful day my friend, Keeping you all in my prayers..... Love and Hugs, Kurty and Elaine
