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

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...
