LORD THAT CAUSES THE WIND TO BLOW

Lord that causes the wind to blow
Set this heart of mine aglow
That I would set my sail to your will
And renounce everything that is evil

Lord that causes the wind to blow
Let the wind carry the seeds I did sow
To fertile soil that the seeds will grow
Into a tree with all the grand show

A show of flowers in full bloom
That will erase all the gloom
A show of a host of robin's nest
Giving a tired traveller's eyes some rest

LAMB OF GOD

IF THERE IS ONE GOOD SOUL IN YOUR HOME, GOD WILL SPARE YOUR HOUSEHOLD FROM DESTRUCTION...i believe this is what Genesis 18:32 and Exodus 12 is telling us....In Genesis 18:32, God said..."For the sake of the righteous 10, I will not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah..."...In Exodus 12, As God has instructed, the israelites were to mark their doors with the blood of a sacrificial perfect spring lamb, for their household to be spared from the wrath of God. That is why we sometimes say to others "please pray for me"...and maybe, this could explain the mystery behind of saints interceding for us, as we have in the Catholic faith...

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

It came upon a midnight mass so clear
The voice of angels I wanted to hear
Bearing good tidings to my soul
Making pieces of dreams so whole

The voice of heaven coming upon me
Making me free from all uncertainty
Giving me the mission He wanted me to do
Lord I am your servant saying "yes" to you

Let no doubt or evil distract me
On following what you want me to be
Let your Holy Spirit be my armor
When danger will lurk at my door

DID YOU DO A GOOD DEED TODAY

Did you do a good deed today?
To show your love in every way
Is Jesus reigning in your heart
Are you willing from sin to depart

Did you touch someone with kindness
to pray that God him will bless
to forego hatred, malice and envy
And offer to God love for the enemy

INGGIT LANG YAN MARE KO

Inggit lang yan mare ko
yang dinadalang galit mo
Lahat ng aking ginagawa
ay iyong minamasama

Ngayon alam ko na ang problema
Sa tinagal-tagal ng pagsasama
Dahil sa iyo ay walang lumiligaw
Kung hindi umaaligid na langaw

NO MEANING AT ALL

Everything has no meaning at all
Unless your love for me I recall
All around in meaningless existence
Everything else out of sense

Everything has no meaning at all
Unless you pick me up each time I fall
Lord bless me with discernment
For what my life is really meant

Lord I know you made me for a mission
Like a seed in this world you have sown
Like that of a mustard smallest of all
To become a tree, a refuge, for every soul

Jesus as I draw strength from you
Possess me in all I say or do
That I may give hope to the weary
To touch the sinners to love Thee

IS THERE NO FEAR

Darling in Heaven, is there no fear
A word of consolation for every tear
An ounce of courage to conquer doubt
A love so true, so sure to shout about

Darling in Heaven is there no hate
For every storm God will abate
With God in the midst, is there no greed
For every hunger, food for everybody to feed

Darling then, I want to be with you
When God tells me my time is due

LORD TEACH ME TO BE HUMBLE

Lord, teach me to be humble
To reach out to others be able
To give love to all who need it most
To give light to those who are lost

Lord, teach me to reach out to others
not be complacent with the road I traverse
The road to thee may be hard and narrow
Let me give space to those in sorrow

Let me not be cooped up with my own salvation
Let me welcome others with you in Heaven's reunion
Lord, teach me how to be happy and loving
That can only be attained by being forgiving

I WISH I COULD DO SOMETHING FOR YOU

I wish I could do something for you
To ease the pain you are going through
The once young, strong and bubbly
Now unsure of things that would be

The only assurance I can give
to stand by your side as you grieve
And to give you hope through Jesus
Who paid in Calvary our sin's dues

PAG-IBIG NA BITIN

Pag-ibig na bitin
Ang kaya mo lamang ipadama sa akin
Dahil sumasabit sa bituin
Hindi kayang maangkin

Pag-ibig na bitin
Nais kong sungkitin
Hindi bale na sinta
Wagas naman ang ala-ala

Pag-ibig na bitin
Dinadaan na lamang sa tingin
Baka mahipan lamang ng hangin
Ako tuloy ay sipunin

MGA TAGAHANGA

Mga tagahanga
Para walang nakatunganga
Ay walang sasagutin
Na isa lamang ang mamahalin

Mahal ko kayong lahat
Na sa pagkilos pag-ibig ay inuulat
Puwera na lamang kung ako ay nahihibang
At ang lahat ay panaginip lamang

PARA BANG IKAW AY UUTANGAN

Bakit ba ganyan,ako ay iniiwasan
Para bang ikaw ay uutangan
Bakit ba ganyan,ano ang dahilan
Pag-iisip mo ay hindi masumpungan

Mangutang man ako, hindi tatakbo
Hindi ako mawawala na parang multo
Magbabayad pa ako ng sanlibo
sa bawat limang daang ipautang mo
