‘Look at the cross’, said the pastor to me 

What cross? thought I, there’s none to see

Strangely though I did obey and see

The imaginary cross straight ahead of me

‘Touch His garment’, the pastor then said to me

How? For His appearance I could not see

The woman with the issue of blood came to mind

How she touched his garment was before my eyes

In obedience and as the woman did, so did I 

Hand, reaching out to the image before me

Fingers barely touching the hem of His garment

When prostrate I fell, before His holy presence

‘What happened?’ was the question posed to me

I don’t know, no explanation came to mind 

Something powerful was at work in me

The aura of His presence I could not deny

‘Come and drink of the wine’

Invited the pastor, cupping his hands

Copying him, my cupped hands then received

And drank of the wine I could not see 

The wine I could neither taste nor see 

But the effects were plain for all to see

Seated was I, cross legged on the floor

Feeling the wine dribbling down my chin

Forearms busy wiping away at the dribbling chin

I felt the wine was dripping all over me

Oh how the congregants roared with laughter

At 56, it must have been quite a sight to behold

Falling prostrate, being drunk in the spirit

Such was my introduction to CKRM

A year has now passed, my lukewarm life is past

I thank the Lord for CKRM Melaka

Where my true journey with God began

仰望十架 - Nellie Quek姐妹美丽的诗歌见证

‘仰望十架’牧师道，何来十架待我望？

奇也我竟顺服他，双目紧闭心眼看

异像十架现眼前

‘摸祂衣裳’牧师说，不见踪影如何摸？

血漏女人脑海现，摸祂衣裳眼前见

我即顺服仿此女，全凭信心伸出手

手指轻触祂衣裳，俯伏圣洁同在里

‘何以至此？’我震惊，满心疑惑不可解

虽无头绪无启示，但知大能充满我

荣耀同在不可却

双掌合并牧师邀，属天美酒请来尝

我亦合掌来领受，隐形美酒口里送

眼不见之味亦无，效果有目共睹之

双脚交叉坐于地，美酒漫溢两颊滴

双臂忙乱脸颊抹，感觉涔透我全身

会众尽皆哄堂笑，五十有六似幼童

此情此景断难忘

俯伏在地灵里醉

此乃我心底见证，CKRM的简介

一载光阴如箭逝，冷淡生命已消没

感谢恩主马六甲，国度事工祂建立

与神心灵之密旅，此处乃我启程地
