New Hymn Re-Writes Coming Your Way

Daniel Hautamaki, one of our songwriters, has been working hard on a handful of new hymns for us for our third album. (This is usually what happens right after we start talking about doing another record.) One song that we’re extremely proud, and can’t wait for you to hear, is a new melody for B.B. McKinney’s The Nail Scarred Hand:

Have you failed in your plan of your storm-tossed life?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Are you weary and worn from its toil and strife?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.

CH: Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand,
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
He will keep to the end, He’s your dearest Friend;
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.

Are you walking alone thro’ the shadows dim?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Christ will comfort your heart: put your trust in Him.
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.

Would you follow the will of the risen Lord?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Would you live in the light of His blessed word?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.

Is your soul burdened down with its load of sin?
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.
Throw your heart open wide; let the Savior in.
Place your hand in the nail-scarred hand.

Close-Outs, Web Specials, RP#3???

We’re really trying to get all of our ducks in a row to release the next recording, RP#3, but, to be honest, we’re a little short on cash. That’s why, even though we think we make a pretty fancy T-shirt, we’re cleaning house and selling them at deep discounts in order to make room (read: money) for more music. All of the money that comes in now goes directly toward completing the next project.

Here’s the deal: order any T-shirt from our store for the listed price ($10) and we will refund you $3, cash, with your mail order. That means shirts are only $7 each, including shipping. Awesome.

And one more special: we literally have *one* comb-bound hymnal left in stock from our first album, and we’d like to sell it. Whoever emails us first will get the hymnal + RP#1 CD for $12. Email us here: resproj [at] resproj [dot] com. Basically, we’ll do the same sort of deal as with the T-shirts for this order…

There is one more way that you can help us out, too: just donate a buck or two to our recording fund. We just created a new “donate” link on our webstore, where you can donate any amount. Soon – not yet – we hope to be able to make these contributions tax-deductible. Donate here today: https://resproj.com/?page_id=26
