TEMPERANCE RENEE'

Vocalist, poet, and Daughter of Zion. Meet TemperanceCross-jackson. In a world full of "artists" seemingly motivated by "show and sell", few are those who have dedicated their gift and can tell it well. Temperance Cross-jackson is among that small number. The "it she speaks and sings of is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Professing Christ as a small child, and committing her voice to the Father as a teen, Temperance's commissioning scripture is the same one Jesus speaks of in Luke 4:18 from Isaiah 61:1-3....

The spirit of th sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has annointed me to preach the good new to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for captives and release from darkness for prisoners, to proclaim The year of the Lord's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for thoose who grieve in Zion-to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of despair. They will be called oaks od righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.

Indeed, He has. Audiences who hear Temperance are captivated and minitered to as her thought provoking and personal lyrics penetrate the heart through spoken word and song. Her training as a former member of the Fred Hammond's renowned Radical for Christ choir is immediately
apparent, her diverse musical influnces stems back to the ministeries of Danibelle Hall, Becky Fender and Larnell Harris to the ministeries of the renown Winans family.

The forth-coming collection of poems. "A Word On It" is a testimony in itself, a small foreshadowing of what God has in store for this obedient vessel. Temperance has seen her ministry bear fruit of comfort, love, healing, peace and instruction that can only come from word-based lyrics and a submitted life to match. Let God enrich yor life, edify you, grant you insight to journey on, despite the challenges, whether you are inside the Body o Christ or not, through the voal giftd of His anointed daughter Temperance Cross-jackson. God has truly given her a Word.

LIFE IN ITS TRUE-COLORS

LIFE IN ITS TRUE-COLORS
I read a fitting definition of the word "color", it read: "the outward appearance" .... life to me was all about a whole bunch of issues and many broken peices, ripped and torn from the true stories and scenes of lost hopes and shattered dreams... i often seen it in "black and white"... sorta kinda on the grayscale from 1-10. 1 being living in it, all of its blue-gray in-betweens. and 10, being its coal-gray dark ends. .... i was so lost. .......pressing my way through the mysty miseries of all my state of beings, was like torment traveling through tunnels of troubles....but some how i saw a light..... i thought it was the one they say you suppose to see at the end . i didnt really know what that meant but i kept on pressin my way... i thought maybe it coulda been the moon tryna shed some light on my rest-less mid-night ... or finally my" morning- come -sunrise"... it was light... and i was tired of the night.....so i pressed on my way....as i reached out something grabbed hold of me, He was some one, He said "I am" The Light", "The Light" of the world and I am "The Son", "The Son of God", "The Son o Man", I am "Jesus Christ"... as He drew me closer I embraced the wholeness of His being, He touched my heart and He lifted my head and then he said... child open your eyes... everything you see I made. "do you want to see life's true colors beyond those shades of its desguises? then you've got to look through my eyes. i said yes and i was blessed, like i was blind! now i see blue-skies of understanding and green pastures to calmly walk or lay my head.i see a crimson-red river flowing flooding over the dark-sin-stains -of life... for you and me... i see oceans blue, wide of love and victory frees'... for you and me. i see purple-like seas casting forgiveness deep into forever,,, for you and me. its shallow waters-crytal-clear, are "stilled" all along its peaceful shore... foot-prints in the sand carry you and me to that city in the distance where there are streets of "Gold".... troubles will be no more.
