I was at work the other evening, and the thought just hit me and reminded me that Jesus died on a cruel rugged cross for me, and the words just started flowing. I got a new guitar called the Line 6 Variax, and wanted to try it out!!

Jesus Died Upon Calvary

I was lost, I was so full of sin,
I had no peace no peace within.
Then I heard of a man, with nail scars in his hands,
he was calling, child come unto me.

Chorus:

Jesus died upon Calvary
he suffered such pain for you and me.
I'm unworthy of his love,
and of his home up above,
Jesus died upon Calvary.

Satan said, you're wasting your time,
though he raised the dead and healed the blind.
Your sins are so great, you, he'll surely hate,
then Jesus said, be gone, he is mine.

Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
Jesus said to Satan, you can just go away,
this precious soul, is with me to stay.

Repeat Chorus:

Style: Guide Me Nylon Guitar Country Waltz
1126: pedal steel rhythm country waltz
2118: piano, acoustic, soloist, country waltz
Line 6 Variax guitar
Shure SM 58 mic
Zoom R 16 recorder
Cakewalk Sonar home studio

Hi Ronnie ...

A good song reflecting back on the tradition country sound of the late fifties and sixties. Very nicely done! I'm not familiar with that particular guitar ... guess I'm headed over to Google!

Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Well done, as usual: good write, solid arrangement, nice singing and harmonies.

I thought the bridge very effective.

Nit: the fade was abrupt.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Loved the steel guitar backing. Very heart-felt...nice vocal harmony on “home up above”. Great work!

Nice work. Authentic Gospel sound. I love this stuff. People laugh at Jimmy Swaggart but he knows how to write and play a good Gospel song. This is inline with that style to my ears.

Well done with a "southern gospel" feel...what we grew up with.

Nice vocals and production make for an enjoyable listen!

I absolutely love this, Ronnie!

I feel like I'm sitting in a service at a rural church in the heart of the South!
