HEAL ME WITH YOUR HOST

Heal me with your host
For I do feel lost
After the harshness of some
Heal the wound of the harm

Fill with your blood
This emptiness with Moses' rod
Blot out my sins
As with those of my kins

Heal my inequities
Remove all my insecurities
Be my strength Oh Lord
Empower me with your word

HINDI PARE-PAREHO ANG PANAHON

Hindi pare-pareho ang panahon
Nalalagas ang dahon
Natutuyot ang bulaklak
mawawalan ng halimuyak

Kung mapagmataas ay ibababa
Huwag hamakin ang mahina o dukha
Tagumpay ay huwag sarilinin
Papuri ay huwag angkinin

Huwag mainggit sa nakatataas
Hindi pare-pareho ang binabagtas
Mas maraming pera mas maproblema
kung hindi mo kayang magdala

Hindi pare-pareho ang panahon
Hindi pare-pareho ang panahon...

GOD DOES HEAR

God does hear
Your pleas my dear
He will answer you
In time due

Just be patient
For God is omniscient
He knows the answer
To your prayer

It may not be soon
Maybe after a thousand moon
Or in a different way
That you may in His grace stay

God does hear
My child do not fear...

THE DAWN IS AWAKENING

The dawn is awakening
As I sit quietly waiting for the morning
Feeling your loving presence
Baring my soul through your omniscience

Lord as I talk to you through this prayer
I feel the promise of your forever
Enveloped by happiness and peace
Through the grace of the faith, a bliss

I STILL CANNOT LOVE YOU

I still cannot love you
I still have dreams to pursue
For love may make me tarry
When you ask "will you marry me?"

I won't deny you are part of my dream
But I want to hold your esteem
I want you to be proud of me
As I will be proud of thee

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY

Money, money, money
Does your life boil only to these three
Fancy cars and luxury
Values forgotten for a fee

Money, money, money
No matter who gets hurt by thee
As long as you get what you want
Like a sly fox you set for a hunt

by carmen herrera uy, october 22, 2013

LET NO FAME, POWER, OR MONEY

Let no fame, power or money
Lure me away from thee
Let me not succunb to easy pleasure
In exchange for your heavenly treasure

Let no fame, power or money
Take me away from serving thee
In a way that you have chosen
Through the talents that you have given

Pleasing you gives me the true happiness
Serving and loving you above all else
No matter how heavy the yoke I will carry
Let me surrender my burden to Thee

And be content with the promise of eternity
All for the love of thee...

AS I PRAY TO THEE

As I pray to thee
Doubts and fears all flee
My soul enveloped by quiet peace
My being in total bliss

As I pray to thee
Myself with the universe in harmony
With all your creations around
I feel your blessings does abound

As I pray to thee
From all wants I am set free
Wants for all the things of this world
A blessing by following your word

by carmen herrera uy, october 22, 2013

DO I LOVE THEE

Do I love thee, do I love thee
In awe before your cross convinces me
My heart and mind feeling your presence
The alpha and the omega above all sense

Do I love thee, do I love thee
The only thing you ask of me
To accept the salvation you offer
To be in happiness with you in the Life After

by carmen herrera uy, october 22, 2013

NOW I KNOW YOU ARE REAL

Now I know you are real
Thinking of you how great I feel
Serving you through the talents you gave
Spreading your words let me others save

Lost by the lure of the world for a while
Coming back to serve you makes my heart smile
Jesus you save me every time I fall
Come stay with me as I heed your call

Jesus patiently waiting for me
As I realize there is no true happiness but thee

by carmen herrera uy, october 21, 2013

WORDS WILL SUFFICE

Words will suffice
To bring me to paradise
A tender look from you
Meaning your love is true

Words will suffice
With a plea from your eyes
As you say you love me
As I answer "I too love thee"

MAHIRAP KANG MAHALIN

Mahirap kang mahalin
mabigat sa damdamin
Hindi maintindihan ang gusto
Ano ba ang trip mo?

Kahit hindi pa nag-uumpisa
Gusto na kitang i-break sinta
At ayokong maging tanga
Na sa wala ay umasa

Mahirap kang mahalin
Puwede ba na ang pagdiga ay bawiin?

UPONG WALANG CHANCING

Hoy, kapwa pasahero
Upong walang chancing naman kayo
Hindi kasama sa bayad ang chancingan ako
Huwag gitgitin ang maria clarang ito

Umusog-usog lamang nang kaunti
At ako ay iyong nasasanggi
Mag-ingat sa aking kiliti
Baka mabisto itong pagka-kiri

Upong walang chancing puwede ba
Never been kissed ng isang sinta
Umusog-usog naman ng kaunti mister
Makuha ka sa tingin, aber

SEND ME A DREAM TODAY

Send me my love a dream today
wrapped in rainbows of sweet array
Stairways from moonbeams to reach my star
To lift me to my dream no matter how far

Send me my love a dream today
To chase the blues and doubts away
Then my dream when it does come true
I will offer everything to you

Send me a dream today
To chase the blues and doubts away
To chase the blues and doubts away
Send me a dream today...

PARE, PUWEDE KA BANG LIGAWAN

Pare, puwede ka bang ligawan
sa mga chicks mo makipag-agawan
Kung maghihintay ako sa iyo
Ay baka amagin lamang ako

Pare ang lakas ng dating mo sa akin
Kahit ramdam ko na iyo lamang paiiyakin
Puwede ka bang imbitahan bilang pasimula
Sa isang dinner na ikaw ang taya

Pare ko, huwag ka namang tumawa
Huwag hamakin ang pagsinta
Ligaw ng isang butas ang bulsa
Sa sagot na "oo" ay umaasa

SEND ME A GOOD SOUL TODAY

Send me a good soul today
That will send the gloom away
Perhaps a friend to say "hello"
New friend or from a time of long ago

Send me a good soul today
To keep the ill feelings at bay
I will then be someone worthy
To be sent to those who are lonely

SHALL I LISTEN TO MY HEART?

Shall I listen to my heart
My secret longings to thee impart
That I want to be with thee
How your presence makes me happy

Shall I listen to my heart
Call you up for a start
The mere sound of your voice gives joy
All doubts and unhappiness it does destroy

THE PROMISE OF YOUR LOVE

The promise of your love
Is the best inspiration I can have
Chasing a dream of tomorrow with you
Waiting faithfully for the morning dew

Your presence around gives me happiness
Blooming with a love that God does bless
I will wait patiently till we are both ready
To give our commitments faithfully

WHEN THE FUTURE LEAVES A PROMISE

When the future leaves a promise
The hope of tomorrow's faithful kiss
Love I feel for you my elusive lover
Hangs on to the promise of forever

Men have come and men have gone
But you managed to stay in my heart dear one
Can I say then our love is really true
As the future holds a promise for me and you

YOUR LOVING PRESENCE

Your loving presence I feel
Exuding happiness for real
Joy that comes from within your heart
Telling me to beg you not to depart

But I want you to feel it is your choice
If our being together causes you to rejoice
Then should you choose to be with me
My heart will then be blissfully happy

by carmen herrera uy, october 18, 2013

IF I COULD HOLD A RAINBOW

If I could hold a rainbow in my arms
Keep it in my heart with all its charms
Then when you remember to come on by
I will offer it to you before you bid goodbye

Then maybe you may decide to tarry a while
Making this heart joyful with your smile
Knowing everything around is in harmony
Quietly savoring together each other's company

by carmen herrera uy, october 18, 2013

YOUR LOVE IS MY TREASURE

Your love is my treasure, oh God
The best possesion I ever had
Poverty does not scare me
But the fear of losing the love of Thee

Loving you above all gives the promise
Of surviving all trials still with a bliss
A feeling of blissful happiness your grace brings
As I pledge my love to you above all things

ONE GESTURE OF KINDNESS

One gesture of kindness makes the difference
Big or small gesture without pretence
Makes you look at things differently
To be able to carry your load though heavy

This life has been graced by friends before
Some gave up on me but some return with encore
Encore of love and devotion and kindness
I offer back a prayer that God will them bless

by carmen herrera uy, october 16, 2013

AFTER BEARING THE INSULTS

After bearing the insults of some
Trying to keep my morals from harm
Lord I know you are now blessing me
With material blessings and spiritually

Lord, it is not an easy way
To survive being alone each day
But now leaving my life to your accord
A promise of a better tomorrow I now hold

by carmen herrera uy, october 11, 2013

THE MOST I CAN OFFER YOU

The most I can offer you
Besides the prayers that is due
Is to pick up the broken pieces
And blot out the sins of unforgiveness

Now, we, your family is truly emerging
After three years that we were grieving
We are learning to stand on our own
With the strength from the love you have shown

by carmen herrera uy, october 11, 2013

CAN I BUY MY WAY INTO YOUR HEART

Can I buy my way into your heart?
Flowers and candies for a start
Then cakes and pastries I will bake for you
For that elusive heart for me to pursue

Should you say no at the end
My unrelentness, your mind will try to bend
Till the two of us are truly together
Then to loneliness succumb never

NOW THAT I HAVE GOTTEN OVER YOU

Now that I have gotten over you
After my feeling is through
Time to move on with my life
I have to go on after the strife

Thank you for the inspiration
For a while this heart was in elation
Though for a while I was in tears
Thanks for the happy years

WHEN SUCCESS DON'T MATTER ANYMORE

When success don't matter anymore
Tell me Lord, what dream is still in store
When fame or fortune won't give me the drive
Lord, bid me to come to your side

For a moment of prayer at the chapel
Is enough to hold me to a blissful spell
As I wait for my time in the Life After
Lord, help me to lead others to your forever

by carmen herrera uy, october 10, 2013

I AM THROUGH PRETENDING

I am through pretending
That you are in love with me my darling
Now with emptiness within me
For the indifference that I see

Shall I find another love?
And forget the dreams that I have?
Of sweet moments together
As we gaze to forever

by carmen herrera uy, october 9, 2013

MY HEART BEGS FOR ATTENTION

My heart begs for attention
My long forgotten companion
No logic can make me forget
A man with whom my love is set

Does he love me too my heart?
To let me take in his life a part?
But I think everything is just delusion
To escape from this hurting emotion

by carmen herrera uy

MY LORD MAY I?

My Lord may I?
Fall in love with another guy?
It has been three years
And I have shed all my tears

My Lord may I?
Sometimes with loneliness I cry
Although in my twilight years
This heart with feelings a man stirs

TO HEAVEN'S MIGHT

A ray of sunshine greeting my sight
Welcoming me once more to Heaven's might
God telling me to Him I belong
As I hum with His angels their song

A ray of sunshine giving me hope
All adversity, be able to cope
Giving me my strength once more
To inspire others, do God adore
