Sad emo
In christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of christ I stand
In christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of god in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save
'Til on that cross as jesus died
The wrath of god was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of christ I live
There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again
And as he stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
'Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of christ i'll stand -

Words by Max Lucado:
The diadem of pain
which sliced your gentle face,
three spikes piercing flesh and wood
to hold you in your place.The need for blood I understand.
Your sacrifice I embrace.
But the bitter sponge, the cutting spear,
the spit upon your face?
Did it have to be a cross?
Did not a kinder death exist
than six hours hanging between life and death,
all spurred by a betrayer’s kiss?“Oh, Father,” you pose,
heart-stilled at what could be,
“I’m sorry to ask, but I long to know,
did you do this for me?”Dare we pray such a prayer? Dare we think such thoughts? Could it be that the hill of the cross is rich with God’s gifts? Let’s examine them, shall we? Let’s unwrap these gifts of grace as if—or perhaps, indeed—for the first time. And as you touch them—as you feel the timber of the cross and trace the braid of the crown and finger the point of the spike—pause and listen. Perchance you will hear him whisper:
“I did it just for you.”

Above All - Hillsongs Australia
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all -

Marilyn Manson's "Personal Jesus"
Reach out and touch faith
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there
Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
that we need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith -(x2)-

That would be Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus.
Others have covered it, including Johnny Cash. -

When I was 11 on Good Friday, I was playing with a candle on a wooden end table, I fell asleep, woke up 3 hours later with my bed, floor, ceiling on fire. I had 30 smoke bombs go off in a bag, the fireman said I should have died at least 1 hour earlier then when I woke up.
I hate burning candles to this day, love the look and smell but a bit paranoid when it comes to bed time.

Dear Jeff:
If the saying that a picture is worth a
1,000 words, you said 2,000.
Thank you for the reminder.
Your friend,
