  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I watch you run away
All grown up ready to play


Escaping from My Kingdom
Ready to enjoy your freedom


Dropping your tiara of light
My little princess slips into the night


With open arms the darkness envelops
Once again the photograph develops







At the table of pleasure you feast
All-you-can-eat buffet provided by the beast


Little princess starts to walk away
Beast stops and demands his pay


With nothing to offer he takes her soul
To repay the debt he was owed


In horror she realizes she is no longer free
As she is chained and bound to an unknown destiny


Beast places her on the buffet for others to use
She is covered with shame, guilt and abuse


Lost forever the innocence of the Kingdom
Beast taunts with images of what she has become


Beast offers to set her free
as little princess begs for mercy


Her only hope is to take her life
Beast hungrily hands her the knife


Afraid to live afraid to die
Little princess begins to cry







Intercessor feels the heart of his King
And within himself a burden and stirring


Away from the light and into the dark
The cries of a child are Intercessor's mark


Surrounded by darkness protected by light
Intercessor begins to fight


No one notices no one cares
Calm and quiet are his prayers


He fights for those who are lost and bound
His words like seeds fall to the ground


Watered by tears the truth does grow
Darkness retreats as the Light does glow







Intercessor finds little princess on a garbage heap
Battered and broken and feeling so cheap


Intercessor tells of forgiveness and mercy
Of a love so pure it heals instantly


But ashamed and unable to go back home
Little princess walks away to endlessly roam







She hears the beast's roar
Fiery darts overhead soar


She turns to see Intercessor valiantly fight
Little princess in the distance sees a small beam of light


"Run to the Light your Father awaits
To go back home it is never too late"


Little princess begins to run
To a light that far outshines the sun


Closer to home than she had ever been
Since her ill-fated trip into the land of sin


With strength renewed her faith takes wings
Like an eagle she rises above death's sting


Father comes running tears streaming down His face
Joy fills His heart as they embrace


No more darkness no more night
Little princess now walks in the Light







An angel binds his wounds as Intercessor looks
Thankful for a love that does not keep books


But allows time to heal and then to employ
In ministry to others that the beast tries to destroy


Recalling his past and the scars of sin
Intercessor is thankful to have been used once again


Those forgiven much have much to give
For they know truly how to abundantly live



.....peace.....
