I enjoy music from many different styles, and that is reflected in my song writing. I write gospel songs in Southern gospel, bluegrass, jazz, pop, blues, etc. styles. Although I have lead worship and played keys and sang at our church, I'm not seeking a career as a performing artist. I've been writing and playing Christian music for over 40 years. I only seek to have the Lord glorified in my music. I recorded these demo songs on my home studio to have something to present to publishers/gospel music artists and to worship leaders who would wish to use my songs in their praise and worship services.

Story behind the song
I was reading Max Lucado's book "3:16" and saw this phrase. It really impressed the fact to me that my sins were nailed to the cross when Jesus died.
Lyrics
THE SOLDIERS SAW JESUS THAT NIGHT IN THE GARDEN THEY BOUND HIM & TOOK HIM AWAY THEY WERE THERE AT HIS TRIAL, THEY HEARD EVERY LIE THEY WONDERED WHY HE HAD NOTHING TO SAY THEY SAW THE BLOOD RUNNING DOWN FROM HIS BACK TO THE GROUND AS THEY LED HIM TO DARK CALVARY BUT WHEN THEY HAMMERED THOSE NAILS THRU THE HANDS OF MY LORD THERE WAS ONE THING THAT THEY COULD NOT SEE. CHORUS BETWEEN HIS HANDS AND THE WOOD WAS A LIST OF MY SINS NAILED TO THE TREE BETWEEN HIS HANDS AND THE WOOD WERE ALL OF THE REASONS I SHOULD NEVER BE FREE THE SOLDIERS COULDN’T SEE IT, THE DEVIL REPEATS IT, BUT IT WON’T DO HIM ANY GOOD FOR THAT LIST OF MY SINS WAS COVERED WITH BLOOD THERE, BETWEEN HIS HANDS AND THE WOOD VS 2 MARY WATCHED AS THEY LAID HIM IN A TOMB THAT WAS BORROWED SHE WONDERED IF THIS WAS THE END THEN SHE SAW A BRIGHT ANGEL WHO SAID, “HE HAS RISEN”, AND SHE RAN TO TELL WHAT SHE HAD SEEN. THOMAS COULD NOT ACCEPT THE NEWS THAT HE HEARD HE SAID, “I HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE” BUT WHEN HE SAW WHERE THOSE NAILS PIERCED THE HANDS OF MY LORD THERE WAS ONE THING THAT HE COULD NOT SEE.

Powerful lyrics, Gary! Catchy tune, easy to remember. I like this one a lot. Are we allowed to download your songs and burn onto a CD so we can listen to them when we're not on the computer? Love you, Lib
