" If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you? "
I think, when David Gates wrote this song, he still didn't know that pictures really paint thousands and thousands of words.
To help you remember this song, I have decided to include its complete lyrics in this blog.
"
If
~ David Gatesthen why can't I paint you?
The words would never show,
the you I've come to know . . .
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
you're all that's left me to . . .
And when my love for life
is running dry,
You come and pour
yourself on me . . .
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you,
tomorrow and today,
beside you all the way . . .
If the world should stop revolving,
Spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you
when the world was through . . .
Then one by one
the stars would all go out . . .
Then you and I
would simply fly away! "
As an ESL teacher and trainer, I have been using photos to develop the thinking skills, vocabulary, creativity, speaking, listening, and other communication skills, and conversational abilities of my students and trainees.
Photos also teach cultures. They increase the general knowledge and information of every learner.
It's up to you to decide whether these pictures really speak more than thousands and thousands of words.
One of the venues: the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, Philippines before the event started. |
brethren and guests flocked the place very early |
From London, one of the special people on that very special day, Mr. Allen Molden. |
at the height of air temperature and heat of the sun, brethren and guests stayed uncovered waiting for the clock to strike 5 in the afternoon |
Brethren and guests with their families enjoyed watching the fountain. That time served as the bonding moment of every family. |
Devotion, enthusiasm, unity, love, spirituality, and strong faith were captured by this reflection. |
Brethren were happily waving flags of liberty and freedom to GLORIFY THE ONLY GOD ALMIGHTY. |
Family members took the chance of having a picnic. |
Brethren are so proud to show to the whole world that they are members of the IGLESIA NI CRISTO or the CHURCH OF CHRIST...THE ONLY CHURCH WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE THAT HAS A PROMISE OF SOUL'S SALVATION. |
The whole area was already filled with people. It was difficult to walk. But every one was so happy doing so. |
Brethren and guests started to fill in the venue, the Quirino Grandstand in Manila, as early as possible, never minding the great heat coming from the sun. |
The Philippine government wasn't able to manage the traffic properly because they DIDN'T BELIEVE THAT A VERY LARGE CROWD OF IGLESIA NI CRISTO MEMBERS AND GUESTS WOULD BE COMING TO THAT VERY SPECIAL EVENT. Most brethren walked from Divisoria to the Quirino Grandstand. Others took the ''calesa'' just to reach the place on time. |
This bus had an engine problem. Brotherhood inside the Church has been displayed enormously. |
A very catching bus with the colors of the Iglesia Ni Cristo: green, white, and red. |
A sister in a wheelchair eager to attend the G.E.M. |
