That Sharp Look In Your Eye

That sharp look in your eye
The feelings inside it cannot deny
Is it contempt or hatred in your heart
That have set us truly apart

That sharp look in your eye
That I just ignore with a sigh
If I can just melt the hardness
Then with love God will us bless

The Sin Of My Brother

The sin of my brother is haunting me
Do I have to pay for them to Thee?
As I am my brother's keeper my Lord
As you have taught us with your word

As you have paid for our sins in Calvary
To offer us salvation all for free
The only price we have to pay
Is to follow the path that you did lay

To love God above all beings and things
Then love of neighbor according to His teachings

My Lover Playing For Me

As I sit alone in an ice cream bar
I heard music from the piano not so far
I transferred to the opposite side
To see the pianist, with his invitation abide

Across the aisle I can hear his call
Flirting through music within the mall
A widowed grandmother shopping for grandson
Pampering the self with the errand done

Dreaming of an imaginary lover
Following me around as I go anywhere
But everything is just make believe
From feeling old, find reprieve

Where The Sky Meets The Sea

Where the sky meets the sea
I will wait tirelessly for thee
Then when eternity comes
We will recite together God's psalms

Then the two of us will face our Creator
Unsure of our faith nevermore....

I See God In You

I see God in you
Oh little children I meet
With smiling faces...
As I walk down the street

With your laughter
I hear God's voice
Ringing like a bell
Calling for the Spirit's joy

My Love Loves Meq

My love loves Me
A wonderful world I see
With his penetrating look
Catching me like a hook

My love loves me
Can this forever be
With his smile so mild
Captivating me like a child

IMPATIENT INFANT

Little baby so impatient to be
Walking around, though an infant only
Wanting to talk just like grown-ups
He shouts and mumbles to feel in the gaps

Wantinmg to explore the surroundings around
The wind the trees, the sky and the ground
Just turned five months, isn't that advance
Give me your wishes and I will give you the chance

LITTLE CHILD, LITTLE CHILD

LIttle child, little cild...are you feeling hungry
I do not have some bread, but just some money
Seeing you with your father, oh so dirty
Sent tears to my eyes with your misery

I wanted to give you the money to buy food
But then I was battling with "should not and should"
You are not a beggar and should not be one
I slowly walked away, with deed undone

Sin of Commission and sin omission
Oh Lord give me the right decision

THE WAY I LOVE YOU

If you love me the way I love you
Then I know I will never be blue
You said you love me but keeps me hanging
As I stay around waiting for your comming

If you love me the way I Love You
To the altar bring me to say our "I do"
but then will I wait forevermore

Before you carry me from the car to the door

LAW MADE FOR PEOPLE, NOT PEOPLE MADE FOR LAW

I went to mass this morning and was touched by the Holy Spirit during the ceremony, as i was able to pray for my detractors, who were also attending the mass...unlike yesterday, when I had unforgiveness and anger in my heart then, when i went home.
..
The priest especially, somebody from the Recolletos, had the Holy Spirit working in him that he was able to give a very good homily...and this is a gist of what he delivered...

"Law is necessary for order and harmony among men, and all of God's creations. It sets the rules and boundaries, wherein society, nature and the universe exists. If the movement of the universe does not have a law, we might find our world exploding in one moment.

Moses brought us the law of God through the ten commandments that is summarized into two commandments...love God above all things and beings...and love your neighbor like yourself.

Government laws are made for a society to have peace and to avoid chaos. But we should remember that a law should be made for people, and not people made for a law that our government officials should keep in mind."




ILANG KALBARYO PA

Ilang kalbaryo pa ba ang tatawirin ko
Hanggang ikaw ay tuluyang matuto
Hindi ka marunong gumalang sa magulang
Daig ka pa ng hindi nag-aral na mangmang

Galit sa mundo ibinubunton sa ina
Na madalas malungkot sa dinurusa
Mas inaala mo pa ang ibang tao
Kaysa sa matanda mo nang inang balo

Marami na ang tiniis na dusa at hapis
Mula nang ikaw ay nagkaroon ng bagwis
Pusoy lumayo sa sariling tahanan
Pagmamahal sa ina tuluyang tinalikdan

Seething With Hatred

My heart is seething with hatred oh Lord
For some people in my circle of the world
Pacify the fuming anger in my chaotic heart
Let the spirit of darkness from my soul depart

Avoid occasions of sin thou didst say
Avoid these people who takes kindness away
As if everything should be in their control
Venting their frustrations even on my soul

A FEAT OF AIRSHOW

A feat of air show the birds performed for me
Flying in circles in the sky all for free
A majestic glory oh God showing your mercy
An eye in my storm within, longing for thee

The Spirit of God consoling and comforting me
Assuring this troubled soul not to worry
God's blessing for the day from attending the mass
Peace and quiet within my soul, my Lord alas

A DAY FROM FOREVER

A day from forever I will borrow
To save this soul from unbearable sorrow
A little rest from pain this day will give
A day from forever, free from the sin of Eve

When forever comes but is short of one day
"Pay for it now" the Father might say
Moments spent with you captured in our hearts
Will pay for that day as forever starts

AS YOU SET THE OPPORTUNITY

As you set the opportunity
For your child to see
Then let him decide
If with you he will abide

Small or grown up
He needs on the shoulder some tap
Then let him be
To find his own destiny

AS YOUR PRAYER IS HEARD

As your prayer is heard
And on the table are some bread
After feeling low
God showed you the way to go

As it seems there's no way out
From your state full of doubt
Just pray that God will show you
The best thing to do

God will not work things out alone
The effort you have to own
Then things will come out easy
As through God's eyes you see

LOVE DID CALL

Love did call
Then bounced like a ball
Confusing me
Like the waves of the sea

Love denied
Retreating like the tide
Come hear my pain
Driving me insane

LOVE FORGIVES

Love forgives
Complete trust it gives
Forgets the wrongs
With sweet songs

Love forgives
Honestly believes
Love forever
Betray never

IF I COULD CATCH A RAINBOW

If I could catch a rainbow
And make it your crown
Then it will make my days aglow
Even if I feel down

For I have just to look at you
Enough to make my heart sing
Even if I feel blue
I will feel like a king

A LOVE SO SWEET

A love so sweet
Did I finally meet
After so long
My heart sang its song

A love so true
Coming from you
Will you be my bride
To our destiny abide

A love everlasting
I have for you my darling
Let's build a family together
To a life to fotever

TAKE A CHANCE AT ROMANCE?

Hey lady, won't you take a chance at romance?
But first, do throw me a little glance
With your upturned nose in the air
Giving one the impression that you don't care

Hey lady, won't you take a chance at romance?
Don't shy away as I make my first advance
Your astounding beauty really had me going
Hear the pounding of my heart with the beat singing

LETTING GO

You don't love me enough so let it be
I have to let go, on to my destiny
Finding another is out of the question
For your magic have tied my emotion

My feelings have gone numb and hardened
Due to hiding my feelings trying to pretend
As I let go of the unpleasantness of the year
I should let go of you now my dear

GUESSING GAME

I am through playing
This guessing game my darling
There is no denying
That we are both hurting

"He loves me, he loves me not"
The long wait does hurt
No one wants to be the first to admit
Though seeing each other gives a smile so sweet

Okay, I will tell you I do care
Oh no, I think I won't dare

A MOMENT IS LIKE FOREVER

A moment is like forever
If I rest my head on your shoulder
A shoulder that is so strong
That can make right any wrong

Even a single moment that I am with you
It is like all my dreams coming true
Can I be every moment at your side?
My darling, will you make me your bride?

THE TRUTH YOU SPEAK

The truth you speak
Is the truth I seek
Possessed by the Holy Spirit
Witnessing with every beat

Like your heart divine
A branch for the vine
Master talk to me
Abate the angty sea

I toss on waves of doubt
On a lost log wandering about
The truth you speak calms my soul
Peace with you forever as my goal
