There is no image more central to the Easter story than the nail-scarred hands of a risen Savior. Nail Scarred Hands fixes your congregation’s gaze on that image with a modern worship hymn that is both theologically grounded and deeply singable — written by Sue C. Smith, David Moffitt, and Travis Cottrell, and originally recorded on Travis Cottrell’s acclaimed project Alive Forever Amen.
Arranged by Travis Cottrell and orchestrated by Brentwood Baptist’s Travis Patton, this SATB setting brings the full emotional arc of the song to your choir and congregation — from the quiet weight of the cross to the triumphant declaration of resurrection. It moves with the kind of musical momentum that carries a Good Friday or Easter Sunday service from grief to glory.
A powerful choice for Easter Sunday, Good Friday services, or any worship moment centered on the cross and resurrection. Available in physical and downloadable formats including split-track accompaniment, stem files, and individual rehearsal tracks by voice part.
