I STOOD AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS

I raised my gaze to the eyes of Jesus, remembering when last I was a the foot of the cross. I was at death's door, just crossed over back into life. Well, alive and breathing, but the flames of hell still lived in my body.

I lived as best as I could, running and hiding from the flames and the fires, till one day I went to the house of the Lord, and there in the the gallery, I stood at the foot of the cross.

I looked upon the face of Jesus, but it couldn't stay, my gaze drawing forth the flames of hell. Then I said to Jesus, here I am standing at the foot of your cross, unable to gaze at the crucifix before me. Won't you save me that I may truly live? Please save me, that I may truly live.

There and then was my own miracle, at the foot of the cross, I was healed. I was able to raise my gaze, to look upon the face of my Lord, who saved my soul from the flames of hell. It was quiet, and in an instant, and that was the last I heard of it.

Now, here in my living room, pondering about my frailty, the weaknesses in my flesh, the sins of my mortal body. I look upon the face of Christ, who rescued me at the foot of the Cross once before, as He did for humanity, many many years ago, and also a whisper, that He did it before, He can do it again...

THE SONG OF TES

Dear woman with a beautiful soul What is it that ails you so? I've searched for you in far places Are you passing through some difficult stages? She said: It's a long story I hardly can tell But the road is long, said I, please do tell Last time I saw you, I could tell There was something wrong, so pray tell And she uttered to me a parable You see, I went hunting with a friend To better our chances, we hunted the same Indeed, we were fair hunters of game. But things took a turn for the worse I thought we were friends, whatever that was She left the hunt and turned on me Left the hunt and turned on me Took the gun and turned on me Used as bait, she turned on me I became the hunted, it dawned on me.. My heart was full, it nearly burst! My soul was grieved, it nearly burst! Overflowing with pain, I nearly burst! So I stayed away from Mount Zion Finding solace in a dark room God sees my heart, he knows I'm mad I'll stay away, my heart is bad. And I stayed away for two whol...

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings I went deep down the ocean depths The primordial power of the earth I felt Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze In high spirits, but my energy spent Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent These answers are worth more per every cent Yet on my strength I can't depend To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response In the thunder, there was no reply But in the g...
