Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

The Unforgettable Drama
Drama has always been one of my passion. That's that!! I love to act. I guess alot of it comes from life itself. Life on earth is like a stage, we put up fronts, wear a mask infront of others, it becomes all part of a skill.
I was given the honor to act as Jesus himself during easter service in April 2006. It was an act i would never forget. The repeated rehearsals day after day, the moment i had to saw and make my own cross.... having to drag the cross up stage and downstage... the memories, cries and screams i had to made, seem like it was all just yesterday.
Actors who have to cry on the scene during their acts, are locked up in a room, to think of something sad that has happened to them, once they find themselves crying, they will then be ready to act the secne. Thats it!! The difficulty of showing the emotions of Jesus on the cross, dispite the fact that i never fully understood what it really meant personally to me myself.
This scene was at the garden of gethsamene, Jesus was in deep anguish with his Father here. The lines were many for me to memorize, but i felt so inadequete here. It was here that deep inside i felt so far from the Lord, that his character and mine were so different... i had to carry the image of Jesus. I WANT TO!!
I'm about to be nailed and i had to scream.
The easter production team from the drama, to the backstage and all who helped in every possible way to make this event a success.
I remembered the silence in the sanctuary when the lights went off. The emotions were heavy. But that was it. A friend of mine who was herself ministered by the act once told me during my really down moments "all that you did that day, Jesus was doing the same for you" FOR ME!! Yes... and i wish i caught what it all meant. The cross!
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now i'm found
Was blind but now i see.
