Community Peace Has Come To India

It has been awhile since these partings ruckus befallen the group have been going on day in and day out. Now one country is blowing the trumpet of joy. CFC India has taken a valiant stand to bring peace and unity in the community. She has declared her independence from the governing authority of CFCGMFI. I am smiling because no matter how hard this guy Anthony has been terribly criticized as an associate of Frank like a second skin, he has nevertheless brought the pipe of peace to the servants of the vineyard. That's how faith works, my friends. Prayers, faithfulness and walking the talk. The interplay of these ingredients makes the eurekish formula.

Now as a tribute for a dear friend who has been recalled for an everlasting life. Let me share the lyrics of the song he sang in Quebec, Canada in 2004 as part of his testimonial. May his soul rest in peace...

When I am down and, oh my soul's so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
