Lead Me Lord

Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand and make me face the rising sun.
Comfort me through all the pain that life may bring.
There’s no other hope that I can lean upon. Lead me Lord, all my life.

Walk by me, Walk by me across the lonely road of everyday.
Take my arms and let Your hand show me the way.
Show the way to live inside Your love; lead me Lord, lead me all my life.

You are my light, You’re the lamp upon my feet.
All the time, my Lord, I need You there.
You are my life, I cannot live alone.
Let me stay by Your guiding love,
All through my life, lead me Lord.

Lead me Lord, Even though at times I’d rather go along my way.
Help me take the right direction, take Your road.
Lead me Lord and never leave my side, all my days, all my life.

You are my light, You’re the lamp upon my feet.
All the time, my Lord, I need You there.
You are my life, I cannot live alone.
Let me stay by Your guiding love,
All through my life, all through my days, lead me O Lord, all my life.

Hontiveros Medley

Kahanga-hanga ang Iyong pangalan
O Panginoon, sa sangkalupaan
Ipinagbunyi mo ang Iyong kamahalan
Sa buong kalangitan.

Ang atas Ko sa inyo mga kaibigan Ko
ay magmahalan kayo tulad ng pagmamahal Ko sa inyo.
May hihigit pa kayang dakila sa pag-ibig na laang
ialay ang buhay alang-alang sa kaibigan.
Kayo nga’y kaibigan Ko kung matutupad ninyo ang iniaatas Ko.

T’wing dakong dapit-hapon, minamasdan kong lagi.
Ang paglubog ng araw, hudyat ng takipsilim.
Ganyan ang aking buhay, kung may dilim ang buwan.
Hihiwat sa baybayin sa pagsapit ng dilim.

Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang
Walang sinuman ang namamatay para sa sarili lamang

Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isa’t isa.
(Ikaw ay Pilipino, ikaw ay kapwa ko)
Tayong lahat ay tinipon ng Diyos na kapiling niya.
(Ikaw ay kapatid ko, at ika’y papanagutan ko)

Sabay-sabay na nag-aawitan ang mga bansa
Tayo’y tinuring ng Panginoon bilang mga anak.
Tayong lahat ay may pananagutan sa isa’t isa.
Tayong lahat ay tinipon ng Diyos na kapiling niya.

Kahanga-hanga ang Iyong pangalan
O Panginoon, sa sangkalupaan
Ipinagbunyi mo ang Iyong kamahalan
Sa buong kalangitan.

We Are God’s Dwelling Place

Isn’t it very strange how some songs written by complete strangers who lead completely different lives can nevertheless speak whatever you and I are unable to put into words? How then can music fashioned by another sense become so one’s own whether one’s sings it, or simply listens to it. When the Lord fashions a song in and through the heart of one person, the Lord inevitably placed that song not only through its fashioner but in and through all who care enough to sing it and to listen to it.

We are God’s dwelling place. Our persons, our bodies, our spirits are home to God’s song. We may be ravaged by the merciless trespass of disease, made febrile by abiding pain, sheered and weakened by endless treatment. But even then, even then, the Lord rests and finds comfort in us, His dwelling place. We may be hardened by failed relationships, shrunk down and shriveled up by wrong choices, made ugly by pain we inflict on ourselves, and on others. But even then, even then, the Lord rests and finds comfort in us, His dwelling place.

And that gives us comfort. You have the Lord within you, and when you sing or listen to a beautiful song that speaks about you, it is the Lord. It is the Lord who finds His home in you. It is the Lord who sings His song to you to make it your own. And how lovely indeed is this dwelling place of His.

Ang Mahalin Ka

ANG MAHALIN KA

Ang mahalin ka ng higit pa sa pagmamahal
Ang ibigin ka, habang buhay ay itataya.
Yan ang tanging alay bawat pasko
Ang mahalin ka higit pa sa buhay ko.

Ipaglaban ka sa bawat tama at mali.
Ang kampihan ka sa bawat laban at sandali

Yan ang aking sinumpa sa puso mo.
At uuulit ulitin twing pasko.

At sa bawat pagsikat at paglubog ng araw.
Sa bawat saglit na kasama ay tanging ikaw.

Sa bawat pangakong nakalimutan at ninakaw,
Kaya mo bang tumbasan ang aking pagmamahal?

Ngayong Pasko

NGAYONG PASKO

music by Ryan Cayabyab, lyrics by Jose Javier Reyes

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagkaganito
Araw na naiiba sa lahat ang Paskong ito
Kung aking iisipin at pagmamasdan
Wala naman talagang pagbabago

Hindi ko maisip kung bakit nagkaganyan
Ibang-iba ang aking nararamdaman

Sa bawat haplos ng ihip ng hanging amihan
Ang lamig ang init ng pagmamahalan

Taun-taong inuulit mga kilalang kanta
Buong kapaligiran balot ng bumbilya
At kahit saan lumingon iyong makikita
Ang di maawat na huni ng ligaya

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nagkaganito
Parang naiiba sa lahat ang aking Pasko

Siguro nga ay honey dumating ka na
At bawat Merry Christmas tanggap kong talaga
