I will live... in... ecstasy... where my angels fly free

I will live... in... misery... where my own demons torment me

I will live... in... ecstasy... where my angels fly free

I will live... in... misery... where my own demons haunt me

As my journey ends... take my hand

Say good-bye... set me free

The Story Behind The Masterpiece

"The Day I Heard The Angels Sing" - David Sanz

On December 25, 2006, on Christmas Day, I experienced what many will try to rationalize as something completely different than what "I KNOW" it was. Perhaps, because it has never happened to them or simply because it's too far-fetched from what they may consider being normal or. of this world.  And I will agree with them in this case; this was not normal and definitely not of this world. But I assure you that the story you are about to read is absolutely true and several years later I am still trying to understand it, myself.

The only other witness to this story was my mother. But by this time, she had been destroyed by what is, to me, the worst word in the English language... cancer.

I share this story with you in her loving memory.

At the break of dawn on December 25, 2006, I heard the angels sing. I can't say they were singing from Heaven because I didn't see them and I don't have any proof, other than this, that Heaven even exists, You might ask what made me believe they were angels?  Well, what would you call the sound of the whole universe singing? It was an infinite number of voices singing in unison (the same pitch) in a language that was not familiar to me, but reminded me of the language spoken in the movie - "The Pasion of The Christ". There were no male or female voices. They all had the same voice and sang in the same pitch, distinctively equal with absolutly no harmonization.

Now, for those of you who don't know much about music, there are 88 keys on a piano (I have played and own several). Each key represents one pitch or note. This is a repetition of 12 basic notes (C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, and back to C one octave higher). Well, these angels were singing notes that I had never heard before. These notes do not exist in our 3-dimensional world. I know that these notes are still in the part of my brain that stores memory, but I haven't been able to find a way to reproduce them.

The songs they sang were beautiful... and as I mentioned before in a language that I am still unfamiliar with. I heard infinite voices, all with the same sounding pitch and texture (no lead vocal), and all singing in unison with a mixture of our traditional notes and some notes that I had never heard before or since. These notes do not exist in our 3- dimensional world.

With both of us laying on her sickbed, I asked my mother, "Can you hear them?" She just closed her eyes and smiled as I had never seen her smile before. She didn't say, "Yes" or "No" she just smiled ec-stat'i-cal-ly. So I told her I had never heard the song they were singing and that I didn't understand what they were saying.

Now comes the truly unbelievable part... as soon as I uttered the statement,, "I don't know what they are saying." they began singing a song that I knew and in the language I understood. I listened in awe... as they sang: 

"Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the new-born King."

"Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled."

As soon as they sang the words, "God and sinners reconciled", the voices all vanished as if I had turned off a radio. The whole experience lasted about 7 minutes - December 25, 2006, at approximately 8:26 am. That was the last time I can remember talking to my mother. Soon after, she was moved to a hospice facility, kept in a highly sedative state (in order to reduce her pain), and died on February 2, 2007. I will always remember her ecstatic smile, the most beautiful smile I expect to ever see on God's green earth.

I pledge... by everything I love, respect, and hold dear to my heart, that I am retelling my experience as accurately, and as honestly as I possibly can.  I don't know exactly what it all means (although, I think I have an idea), what I do know is that I was lost and now I'm found. God and I have reconciled our differences and I have placed all of my heart and soul in His loving care.

'Til Lost No More

by David Sanz

Within the darkness angels weep,

yet, as I lay my soul to sleep,

I can’t resist the urge to smile...

for love and faith once put on trial

were lost and found ‘til lost no more,

these things I’ve searched a lifetime for

But there are those who'll never know

the beaut of these things so bold

that foutht the firery depths below

to free my heart and save my soul
