You Are MIne

I will come to you in the silence,
I will lift you from all your fear.
You will hear my voice,
I claim you as my choice,
Be still and know I am here.

Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.

I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see.
In the shadows of the night.
I will be your light,
Come and rest in me.

Do not be afraid, I am with you,
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.

I am strength for all the despairing,
Healing for the ones who dwell in shame.
All the blind will see,
The lame will run free,
And all will know my name.

Do not be afraid, I am with you,
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.

I am the Word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give.
I will call your name,
Embracing all your pain.
Stand up, now walk, and live!

Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.

One More Gift

REFRAIN:
If there's one more gift
I'd ask of You, Lord
It would be peace here on earth;
As gentle as Your children's laughter
All around, all around

Your people have grown weary
Of living in confusion
When will we realize
That neither heaven is at peace
When we live not in peace (REFRAIN)

Grant me serenity within
For the confusions around
Are mere reflections
Of what's within
What's within me (REFRAIN)


("serenity within" yes that was what i felt while i was listening to this song when i was having the dark moments of my life...
it was the years when i was struggling to find my path and the disappointments were my stepping blocks to move on...
as right now, while im having this crisis, will i ever feel the same inner peace? will i still make it like what i have gone through before?

Pilgrim's Theme

*

Tired of weaving dreams too loose for me to wear
Tired of watching clouds repeat their dance on air
Tired of getting tired of doing what's required
Is life a mere routine in the greater scheme of things

Through with taking roads someone else designed
Through with chasing stars that soon forget to shine
Through with going through one more day - what's new
Does my life still mean a thing in the greater scheme of things

REFRAIN 1:
I think I'll follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
I hope to find my place
So my life can fall in place
I know in time I'll find my place
In the greater scheme of things

Each must go his way, but how can I decide
Which path I should take, who will be my guide
I need some kind of star to lead me somewhere far
To find a higher dream in the greater scheme of things

The road before me bends, I don't know what I'll find
Will I meet a friend or ghosts I left behind
Should I even be surprised that You're with me in disguise
For it's Your hand I have seen in the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)

BRIDGE:
For Yours is the voice in my deepest dreams
You are the heart, the very heart
Of the greater scheme of things (REFRAIN 1)

REFRAIN 2:
Why don't we follow the voice that calls within
Dance to the silent song it sings
One day we'll find our place
For all things fall in place
For all things have a place
In the greater scheme of things

(just something that made me think of her again)


I often wondered what could have been
If you and I have never parted ways
Thoughts of you still linger
As if it was just yesterday

I can still see your face
Each time I close my eyes
I hear your voice
When I go to bed at night

There are times that I would long for your voice
Of just a peek of your smile...
But, I guess it wasnt meant to be
For fate have made its call

We were both to go separate ways
Me, pursuing my dreams
You, chasing your own
Leaving us with no chance at love once more...

Somehow...
Sometimes...
I wish...
I never learned to dream...
So I can help you chase your dream...



(you'll be the only ONE in my Heart)

proem

Forgive O Lord
when in the fire of Joy
and the passion of my love for you
wrapt in wonderment of what you do....

i have the inclination to employ
repeatedly the same glad word or phrase
reiterating all my faith and love
over and over like cooing dove
to worship you O Father and to praise

Love must repeat its protestations thus
and even though there are variations
in this dialogues between the two of us
look down with mercy father on this sin of repetition

Lord my mind is weak
and you are vast
and i can only squeak



(this is an entry of Dr. Benito Reyes on his book "Dialogues with God" which i have been reciting in the moments of my life where all faith seems lost...

somehow it gives me a renewed inner strength to carry on...

Manatili Ka

Manatili ka kahit sandali
Hihilumin Ko ang iyong hapdi
Bakit lagi nang nagmamadali
Di malilisan ang 'yong pighati

Isaysay sa 'Kin lahat mong pait
Yayakapin Ko lahat mong sakit
Manahimik na't mata'y ipikit
Bubulungan ka ng 'sang oyayi

Kailan titigilan ang 'yong katatakbo
Kailan pipigilan pagpasan mo sa mundo

Manatili ka kahit sandali
Buuin muli ang 'yong sarili
Magtiwala ka't tayo'y magwawagi
Ang pulang ulap ay mahahawi
