Songs In The Night

The Maker Of The Universe (Hymn by Frederick William Pitt) The Maker of the universe As Man, for man was made a curse. The claims of law which He had made, Unto the uttermost He paid. His holy fingers made the bough Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow. The nails that pierced His hands were mined In secret places He designed. He made the forest whence there sprung The tree on which His body hung. He died upon a cross of wood, Yet made the hill on which it stood. The sky that darkened o’er His head By Him above the earth was spread. The sun that hid from Him its face By His decree was poised in space. The spear which spilled His precious blood Was tempered in the fires of God. The grave in which His form was laid, Was hewn in rocks His hands had made. The throne on which He now appears Was His from everlasting years. But a new glory crowns His brow. And every knee to Him shall bow.

Sometimes A Light Surprises (Hymn by William Cowper) Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises With healing on His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining, To cheer it after rain. In holy contemplation We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation, And find it ever new; Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, E'en let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may! It can bring with it nothing, But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people too; Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. Though vine nor fig tree neither Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there: Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For, while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice. Matthew 6:25-33 Therefore I say unto you, Tak...

The Light In The Darkness Struggling within my darkness, Feeling hopelessly lost and alone; Oftimes I fear the voice that I hear Crying out aloud is my own. Shattering the silence, Wondering if I can ever find Someone who cares and would even dare To give me hope and peace of mind. And reaching out in the darkness, Calling out to be heard, There’s a shining Light that breaks through my night, Coming from within Your Holy Word. Reaching out through the darkness Is the Saviour who died for me - A prisoner within, enslaved to my sins - But Jesus came to make me free. Like a Good Shepherd searching For the lost sheep that had gone astray, He heard my cry, came down from on High, And sought me out that day. Now there’s hope beyond the shadows - A Light shining out for all to see; I see the Man with nail-pierced hands, The Saviour who died to rescue me. Jesus broke through all my darkness When I heard the Gospel sound; Now I know His voice, and I truly rejoice: The lost sheep has now been fo...

  Have You Any Room For Jesus? It is almost Christmas once again. Looking forward to time we will spend with family and friends. All too often we forget the meaning behind this holiday - the meaning we say we are celebrating Christmas for! In the book of Luke, we see how their Heavenly Father worked out all things so that Jesus would be born of a virgin and be born in Bethlehem, in fulfilment of prophecy. Luke 2:1-5  And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. But all was not as rosy as it appeared. After travelling for days to get to...

We Three Kings Of Orient Are (Author: John H. Hopkins) We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. Refrain: O star of wonder, star of light, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown him again, King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, voices raising, Worshiping God on high. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Borrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Glorious now behold him arise; King and God and sacrifice: Alleluia, Alleluia, Sounds through the earth and skies.

Calvinism is such a prevailing doctrine, I might as well give into the pressure. I totally 100% believe the lines of this poem I have written. I have truly come to believe the doctrine of Perseverance. Please read this whole post - I think you might come to agree with me after you read it all. True Perseverance Holding on when all else fails; Holding on when all seemed lost; Grasping firmly with determination - Holding on despite the cost. Holding on when we falter; Holding on against the flow; Holding tightly with your hands - Holding on, never letting go. Grasping tightly and holding on; Persevering by your might; Holding on with all you have - Grasping on, and holding tight! Oh, sometimes I think I mixed up the perseverance of the saints with the preservation of the saints. Now read the full poem - AND NOTICE THAT THE FIRST THREE STANZAS ARE UNCHANGED. True Perseverance Holding on when all else fails; Holding on when all seemed lost; Grasping firmly with determination - Holding on...

The Fingerprints Of God Searching for God’s presence, looking all around, Seeking out the evidence, and examining what I’ve found, Considering the heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars - And realizing the Creator loves us, and reaches down to where we are. There are fingerprints of God all throughout my life; In the times of victory, and in the times of strife. When I gaze through all my past, I may not always understand - But it’s clear the Lord has a purpose, and I am part of that plan. Though I may not see clearly all the paths He has led me through, I can see His hand of mercy, His presence in every part I view. I have never been alone - though I did not know it then, His love has been ever seeking me, like a Shepherd, like a friend. When I saw my sin in His sight, how I had wandered from God’s throne, My Heavenly Father took me in, and welcomed me to His home; Like the prodigal son, I came running to the Lord for grace; Accepted in the Beloved, when I trusted Jesus Christ by faith...

The Greatest Story Ever Told Awestruck and wonder-filled, we slowly gaze around; Feel the light patter of the snow gently falling down. Cheerful children laughing and playing without a care, While smells of Christmas waft upon the wintery air. Songs of the season sound serenely throughout the night, All of these sensations touch our souls with joy and delight. Feel the warmth of the crackling fire as you come in from the cold; Sense the wonder and the thrill of The Greatest Story Ever Told. Sit back and listen while your hearts fill with utter joy; Hear the Gospel writers tell of the birth of a little Boy. Not just any boy, mind you - listen, and let your imagination unfurl; In Bethlehem was born the Son destined to change the world. Picture the scene in your mind of God coming down to earth - Not in majesty or splendour, but by a lowly birth; Surrounded by rustling animals in a manger filled with hay; No room for them in the inn, from its shelter they were turned away. Feel the nip in...

It Is Written, It Is Written There is a Book that God has written; To it, no other can compare. Its chapters tell us of the Saviour In the pages written there: Jesus is the song of sages, He’s the Bible’s central theme. In the glory of the ages, It is written for all to see. (Chorus) It is written, it is written, There is a plan for you and me. It is written, it is written, The Saviour came to make us free. Held so long by sin’s oppression, From our slavery we are freed; Why wander about in darkness - Oh, take up the Book and read! For so many years I have wandered, Lost in the maze of uncertainty; I have searched so long for answers, Puzzled at the depths of misery. There are questions I have wondered, What of my future? I cannot see - But when I read the Bible for myself, The mysteries become clear to me. Jesus is the only Saviour; He died for Adam’s sinful race. He suffered on the cruel cross - The Substitute in our place. By His blood, He paid our ransom; By His death, He made us f...

How Great Thou Art (Lyrics: Stuart K. Hine)  O Lord my God, when I in awe­some won­der Consider all the works thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the mighty thun­der, Thy pow­er through­out the uni­verse dis­played: Chorus: Then sings my soul, my Sav­ior God, to thee: How great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Sav­ior God, to thee: How great thou art! How great thou art! When through the woods and for­est glades I wan­der And hear the birds sing sweet­ly in the trees, When I look down from lof­ty mount­ain gran­deur, And hear the brook and feel the gen­tle breeze: And when I think that God, his Son not spar­ing, Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in, That on the cross, my bur­den glad­ly bear­ing, He bled and died to take away my sin. When Christ shall come with shout of ac­cla­ma­tion And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then shall I bow in hum­ble ado­ra­tion, And there pro­claim, My God, how great thou art!" Isaiah 59:20 And the Redee...

Stricken, Smitten, And Afflicted ( Lyrics: Thomas Kelly) Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree! ’Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He! ’Tis the long expected prophet, David’s Son, yet David’s Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: ’Tis a true and faithful Word. Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress: Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great, Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See Who bears the awful load! ’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God. Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost. Christ the Rock of our salvation, Christ the Name of which we boast. Lamb of God for sinners wounded! Sac...

The Blessings Of God On Your Family May the Lord bless you and keep you close beside Him each day; May His Word be the guiding light that shines upon your way; May His will be your delight each and every moment you pray; And may His peace be your guard, and His presence your stay. May God’s Spirit be the comfort and wisdom you seek; May His strength be your fortress whenever you feel weak; May His grace be the theme that weaves through every part; And may His love be the motive that dwells in your heart. May your heart be filled with contentment always, And the Lord Jesus Christ be the one that you praise; May the joy of the Lord be the strength of your soul; And God’s richest blessings be yours to the full. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family in all that you do as you live for Him. November 13th, 2025 Jerry Bouey (Dedicated to Brandon Peterson and his family) 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghos...

  Victorious And Free All of my enemies That rejoiced over me, Thou hast caused them to flee, And given me the victory. Thou hast cast all my sins Into the depths of the sea; Thou hast drowned all my iniquities, And hast made me free. Oh why should I worry, Or fret in misery; Thou hast borne all my burdens When I cast them on Thee. All praise to Thee, Jesus - Thou alone hast saved me; Thou hast died on the cross And given me life eternally. November 9th, 2025 Jerry Bouey Psalms 35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. Micah 7:8, 19 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me… He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. John 8:31-32, 36 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in m...

  Go Forward When you can’t change the past, go forward! Though you are standing before the Red Sea at a loss; Your old master is behind you, closing on your heels; Go forward, my friend, forward to the cross! Through your struggles, you can’t feel your Saviour near; You have stumbled, you have faltered, heart filled now with fear; But God’s grace is so real - it is available - He is waiting for your cry, Press forward into His presence, receive the Lord’s mercy from on high. Go forward - there is still hope though troubles darken your skies; Go forward, claim His forgiveness, reach forward to the prize. Don’t run from the Saviour, when your soul feels at wit’s end, Go forward to the Shepherd, He will carry you, my friend. Go forward into Jesus’ everlasting arms. Go forward! October 12th, 2025 Jerry Bouey Exodus 14:15-17 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thi...

  The Rose Of Sharon The Rose of Sharon was planted in the garden of the Lord, Close beside the crosses where in death His blood was poured; Alone, in the quiet tomb, their Saviour was laid to rest, And as the darkness slowly gathered, His friends faced their darkest test. As each one wandered sadly home, they discussed their sorrowful plight; With hearts broken deep within them, they faced the coming of the night. The Passover having ended, the hour grew quite late, As the shadows gathered around them, they pondered their lonely fate. The first day was the hardest, they understood only in part; Trying to remember all His promises, sorrow still filled their hearts; They awaited in tense silence, for the second day to dawn; And as the women prepared the spices, the sadness lingered on. Another night of troubled anguish, their pain still so sharp and raw; Walking to the tomb that third morning, they weren’t prepared for what they saw: The stone was rolled away from the entrance, and ...

Go, And I Am With You Go, My child, for I am with you, Go, in the fullness of My love. I know the thoughts that I think towards you - I’ve given you a mission from above. I have sent you out into the world, Go ye therefore boldly in My name - Bring the lost sheep home to Jesus - reach them - And know they will never be the same. I am with you through all your trials, In the darkness, I am the True Light; “Fear thou not; for I am with thee” - In all your battles, go forth in My might. All that you need to serve your Saviour Is available to you by My grace; Be strong, and of a good courage, For I am with you as you run this race. Go, in the power that I give you, though the pathway may seem rough; I am with you still, My child, My provision will be enough. Go, ye into all the world, Oh, beloved, go in faith today. I will go before you every moment, and I will prepare the way. Go, for I am with you - today! October 12th, 2025 Jerry Bouey Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think...

  Make Me Free The darkness of sin enclosed me fast, This prison I’m in had my soul downcast. Who can break through and help me to see, Shatter the darkness and make me free? Looking above, I prayed for light, A Friend to shine through the dark of night, A Saviour to come and rescue me, Release all my chains and make me free. I opened the Gospels and began to read; Asking for wisdom, I had to plead. I saw there Jesus, who died for me; He paid sin’s price to make me free. He had to die on the cross that day, So His shed blood could wash my sins away. Suddenly, at last, my eyes could see; Here was The Truth that could make me free. Jesus had died, salvation was done; He rose again, God’s precious Son. I turned from the sin which imprisoned me, And as I received Jesus, He made me free. Now He’s my Saviour and my King; He loves me so much, my soul has to sing. In the chains of sin, He showed me the key; I trusted in Jesus, and He made me free. Now I’ve a mission from God above: Go to a...

Nailed To The Cross The accuser of the brethren does his job very well; He wants to condemn us and remind us of Hell. But I went humbly to Jesus, laid all my sins at His feet; When my past comes to haunt me, I won’t give in to defeat. (Chorus) My sins are nailed to the cross, My sins are nailed to the cross; I have a new home in Heaven, because of the cross - My sins are nailed to His cross. Jesus Christ is the Way, He is the Truth, and the Life, He shed His blood on Calvary to bring to us new life; Though your sins may be as scarlet, and your past black as night, He can wash them away, and make you clean in His sight. (2nd Chorus) Your sins are nailed to the cross, Your sins are nailed to the cross; You have a new lease on life, because of the cross - Your sins are nailed to His cross. Oh my friend, come now to Jesus, the Truth and the Way; Leave your sins with the Saviour - He will take them away; And though you may seek them, know that they are truly gone; If they come back to your ...

Footprints In The Sand One night I dreamed a dream. I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, one belonging to me and one to my Lord. When the last scene of my life shot before me I looked back at the footprints in the sand. There was only one set of footprints. I realized that this was at the lowest and saddest times of my life. This always bothered me and I questioned the Lord about my dilemma. “Lord, You told me when I decided to follow You, You would walk and talk with me all the way. But I’m aware that during the most troublesome times of my life there is only one set of footprints. I just don’t understand why, when I need You most, You leave me.” He whispered, “My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.” By Margaret Fishback Powers Exodus ...

  Peace, Perfect Peace Peace, perfect peace at such a time for me; I need You, Lord, to watch over and cover me. I’m overwhelmed by fears, in temptation I am weak; Your peace, Your love, Your joy - Oh Lord. that is what I truly seek. Peace, perfect peace - make my heart Your home; Keep me ever close to Your side each time I start to roam. Comfort me and strengthen me - cause my struggles to cease; Oh, Lord, I need You now - blanket me with Your peace. Peace, perfect peace - to that promise I must cling; Leaning upon You, my Beloved - and the victory You must bring. There’s a battle that is raging within this heart of mine - I give these cares to You, Oh Lord, strengthen me this time. Peace, perfect peace - one day soon I will rise; Throw off this garment of my flesh, as I take to the skies; Meet You in the air, Oh Jesus - I can’t wait for that day. Until then I need Your peace, dear Lord, reigning in my soul each day. August 23rd, 2025 Jerry Bouey (Dedicated to all my brothers and ...

God Broke Through Breaking through the darkness, Bringing forth the light, Dispelling all the shadows, And scattering darkest night. God broke through all our darkness, He’s the Bright and Morning Star; The True Light that is now shining, Reaching us where we are. Breaking forth in judgement; Bringing justice to the land. Soon the King will reign in righteousness, And the Truth of God will stand. Breaking through the gauntlet, Setting the prisoners free; I’m victorious in my Saviour - For Jesus Christ has rescued me. Break forth into singing, And shout aloud in praise; Worship the Lord in holiness; Rejoice before Him all your days. August 13th, 2025 Jerry Bouey (Dedicated to my Bible study friend, Theresa, who brought forth a wonderful discussion on the Lord breaking through into our lives.) Genesis 38:27-30 And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb. And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took ...

The Haven Of Rest (Words: Henry L. Gilmour) My soul in sad exile was out on life's sea, So burdened with sin and distressed, Till I heard a sweet voice, saying, "Make Me your choice"; And I entered the "Haven of Rest"! Chorus: I've anchored my soul in the "Haven of Rest," I'll sail the wide seas no more; The tempest may sweep over the wild, stormy, deep, In Jesus I'm safe evermore. I yielded myself to His tender embrace, In faith taking hold of the Word, My fetters fell off, and I anchored my soul; The "Haven of Rest" is my Lord. The song of my soul, since the Lord made me whole, Has been the old story so blest, Of Jesus, Who'll save whosoever will have A home in the "Haven of Rest." How precious the thought that we all may recline, Like John, the beloved so blest, On Jesus' strong arm, where no tempest can harm, Secure in the "Haven of Rest." O come to the Savior, He patiently waits To save by His powe...

Arise, And Come Away Arise, and come away, My love, Arise, and come away; Come, spend some time with Me, My child; Seek My face today. I long to fellowship with you, My love, Until the breaking of the day; Amidst the toiling and the trying times, Arise, and come away. I offer rest and renewal for your soul, I will take your burdens away. Find solace and shelter in My presence, Arise, and come away. Under the shadow of My wings, You will find a peace like you’ve never known; Like a sparrow finds a nest in My temple, I am your eternal home. I am all you will ever need, My child. Abba, Father, is My name. Come spend some time with Me, My love, Arise, and come away. March 22nd, 2025 Jerry Bouey (For Mother's Day, 2025) Matthew 11:29-30 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Song of Songs 2:10-13 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, an...

The Savour Of The Saviour’s Name The blessed savour of my Saviour, Like an ointment or perfume - Oh, the joy of His dear presence Floods my heart and fills the room. Oh, the wonder of Jesus’ name Captures my soul with pure delight. And the glory that surrounds us, Dispels our deepest, darkest night. When we spend time with our Saviour, There’s a gladness and a peace. There’s a hope and expectation - Abundant life that will never cease. By His death and resurrection, He paid redemption’s price for all; Oh, the blessing of His salvation When upon His name we call. The wondrous savour of life unto life - The blessings that fill our hearts. Oh, the glory of His presence - And the wonder His love imparts! May 4th, 2025 Jerry Bouey Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee. Song of Songs 1:3 The Savour Of Jesus’ Name Song of Songs 1:3  Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured fort...

My Wilderness Wanderings Wandering in this wilderness, Alas the desert, my home for years; Barren, thirsty, empty inside - No water in sight but my tears… You know all of my wilderness wanderings; Every fallen tear is written in Your book. When I feel so lost in my own desert, So dry inside, I can’t even find a brook, You make note of all of my inward struggles; Your mercy is there waiting for me each day; Only needing to return to where I left Your side, You call me back to the place I wandered away. Lord, it seems like I’ve fallen so many times, Faltering, stumbling, reaching for Your hand - So weak, only able to lean upon my Beloved; And there I find once again I’m able to stand. Forgiveness flowing like a stream in my desert, Quenching all of my thirst in the heat of the day; My heart leaps for joy and my tongue sings aloud, My restored soul wandering no longer astray. March 22nd, 2025 Jerry Bouey (First verse written June 23rd, 2019, after the Lord restored me from my backslidings...

  As The Lily Among Thorns Jesus is the Lily of the Valleys, Our Saviour is the fairest of delight. In the darkness of this world, He’s the bright and shining light. As the Lily among thorns, So are His people in this life; Transplanted spots of beauty, In the midst of harm and strife. In His eyes, so spotless, pure, and lovely, Regal, transformed, and undefiled; Like the precious flowers of the field, Clothed with splendour is God’s child. Living in the midst of thorns - So tragic is their plight: While they scorn and harm the lilies, They dwell in the darkest night. But sometimes a seed is planted Among the thorns; yes, tis true; As the Gospel seed is watered, We may find a surprising view. The wonder of the Saviour’s love, Touching hearts and souls His way - Can a forgotten thorn become a lily, Changed and transformed in a day? In this life, a mystery to imagine, But now a splendour to behold. Once, reckless and abandoned, A new sheep welcomed to the fold. Live your life for Jes...

When God Whispers Your Name Walking in the Garden, in the cool of the day; Hiding from my Saviour for I had gone astray, But in His grace and mercy, to me my Lord came; His love broke my resistance when He whispered my name. I was like a dead man, with no hope left in the world, Surrounded by my enemies, when all their lies were hurled; All my defeats and failures, pouring forth my shame, Then came a new beginning when the Lord called out my name. Grieving at the gravesite of my dearest in this life; Overwhelmed with sorrow, discouragement and strife. Distressed with loss and anguish, heart so filled with pain - Comfort and healing came when I heard You say my name. Wandering without a purpose, feeling forsaken too. Does God in Heaven love you, can you know this love so true? Jesus proved His love towards us - the answer is so plain: The Shepherd now is calling, hear Him whispering your name. March 8th, 2025 Jerry Bouey 1 Kings 19:11-12 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount b...

Touching The Hem Of Jesus’ Garment I am unclean, she thought. I am separated from those around me. My disease has taken its toll. How can I be healed? I’ve spent all my money on my physicians - with all their tests and medicine - and yet I am not even one bit better. Rather, I am getting progressively worse. Will I be like this forever? Can I ever be cured? Even I don’t know the answer to that question. Alone, defiled, aching inside, longing for healing. Longing to be made whole these twelve long, lonely years. There is a travelling preacher - some say He is the Messiah we’ve been waiting for. Can this be true? He is preaching of the Kingdom of God, preaching the way of salvation, healing many He has encountered along the way. What about me? I need forgiveness, I need hope, I need healing, both inside and out. Can this Jesus be the Saviour we have long been waiting for? I need to see for myself. There He is - but He is surrounded by so many people in this crowd. Can I get to Him? Will ...

  Foreign Words To My Soul When reading through the Bible for the very first time - Oh, what a far-off foreign land it must have seemed. From Genesis to Revelation, a path so unfamiliar, Full of glorious things of which no man could have dreamed. It speaks of fallen angels, of a supernatural war; Of Adam and Eve's sin in Paradise, and oh so much more. It tells of the spotless Lamb of God, chosen from of old, And of the people of His pasture, His own precious sheepfold. It tells of the holy prophets, those who gave to us His Word; It reveals to us the Law of God, in case you haven't heard; It speaks to fallen man of his own lost, sinful estate - Of the Saviour who came down to earth, to the world which He did create. It shows to us God the Father sending His only Son; Of His wondrous words of life and the works that He has done. It tells us that one day Jesus is coming back again, And shows to all the glorious hope of His future reign. "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani," cr...
