A divine plan placed me with Three Nails, an anointed group who wish to bring glory to God. I also play a grand piano in my church. Be blest.

Three Nails, an anointed Christian band...I also play a grand piano in my home church. We thank God for life and for the talents He gave us.

Story behind the song

I see suffering children, many are neglected, abandoned or from broken homes..There are also many real orphans in line for adoption..praying for a family and to feel loved.  Would love to share this song with any adoption agencies trying to get a message out..
Lyrics by Iris and music by Tommy Lee.. he also sang and played all instruments.

Lyrics

"For The Sake Of The Children"


Moved from place to place
Little boys and little girls
Tears roll down their face
"Orphans" of the world
They close their eyes each night
And pray to God above
Ever searching for the light
That fills a heart with love

(refrain)
"For the sake of the children"
Who feel so all alone
Wanting someone just to love them
Make them feel like they belong
So many precious children
Still waiting for a home
Open up your heart "for the sake of the children"

They've no security
As if no one really cares
They need a "family"
Have so much joy to share
A sadness in their souls
Yet a sparkle in their smile
It's time to take a stand
For the sake of a child

(repeat refrain)
