Paghahandog ko Sa Iyo (August 28, 2011)

Sa‘Yo nanggaling ang lahat ng mga hain
Sapagkat Ikaw ang nag-iingat sa amin.
‘Di malilimutan paghahandog namin
Para sa Iyo; para sa’ming paghahain.

Pagsunod Sa Iyo (August 24, 2011)

Lahat ng mga bagay ay Iyong ginawa,
At pawang kabutihan na lang at awa
Ang Iyong ipinapakita sa kanila,
Na kanilang malaman Ikaw ang Ama.

Bukod sa Iyong ginawa, ako naman,
Na Iyong nilalang ay kinakailangan
Na sumunod sa Iyong palatuntunan
Nang ako’y Iyong laging bibiyayaan.

TRIAL (August 18, 2011)

Though many problems have come,
I don’t like to say that I won’t give in;
Though hardships give me some,
I won’t easily give my life within.

Rendering me to fall into sins,
I won’t let it happen to my life.
If they want to devour me, since
I have done well from my strife.

Isn’t it enough to endure these things
For me to make me strong?
Yes, it is enough—enough for these
Trials I am encountering.

All trials will come to me endlessly
And will always attack me relentlessly.
I will stumble and fall, but never silly
To call unto the Father in reality.

Lest I am down, thrown, destroyed,
I will rise up, pray and be helped
To the One whom I have prayed;
Yes, I will face them; yes, I have said.

Kahit Anong Pagsubok, Mapapawi (August 13, 2011)

Aking mga pagsubok,
Magaan man o mabigat,
Hindi ko kayang sumabak
Kung wala Ka, o Ama sa langit.

Pananampalataya ko nawa’y dagdagan,
At huwag sana’y mapawi ni mawalan;
Bagkus ito’y aking magamit sa anumang
Pagsubok sa aking buhay araw-araw.

O huwag sana mawalan ang aking paninindigan,
Ni mawalan man ng aking pag-asa sa Iyo, o Ama.
Kailanma’y huwag akong masiraan ng kasayahan
Sa aking paglilingkod, merong pananampalataya.

Aking mga pagsubok, nawa’y aking
Pagtiisan, upang ako’y mamamalagi
Sa Iyo, sa aking paglilingkod na tapat;
Huwag sana akong manlupaypay.

Kung wala ang Ama sa aking tabi,
Hindi ko ito matatanggap,
Sapagkat ako’y hamak
Sa abang sarili.

Materialistiko (August 11, 2011)

Ayoko nang mabuhay dito sa sanlibutan
Dahil ito’y punung-puno ng kasamaan.
Ako’y nalalapit sa kanilang mga kasalanan
Dahil sa sila’y away alisin ang kalayawan.

Tila’y hindi nagkakaisa ang mga tao ngayon,
Mula’t mula pa sa pasimula (mula noon).
Lahat sila’y nagugulumihanan, natatakot;
Hindi alam kung saan matatanto.

Idilat ko man ang aking mga mata,
Hindi lingid sa akin ang kanilang pagsinta
Dahil sa sila’y materialistiko. Meron yata
Silang binabalak sa akin ng masama.

Sana’y wala nang taong materialistiko,
Pero dapat itong mangyari sa mundo.
Hindi maiiwasan, kalimutan ko man,
Pero dapat itong mangyari man.

Ako’y hindi magiging materialistiko,
Kahit pa ako’y hamakin ng mga tao.
Hindi ako sasama sa takbo ng mundo,
Dahil ito’y pasama ng pasama, oo.

Materialistiko...
Ikaw nawa’y maalis sa aking buhay...

TAPAT

Tunay na ako’y magpapatuloy, o Ama,
Sa aking pagtupad ng aking tungkulin.
Ako’y magtitiis sa aking gampanin,
Upang Ika’y aking paglingkuran.

Ama, sa Iyo lang ako aasa at pupuri;
Sa Iyo ako’y lalapit at mananatili.
O Ama, wala akong maipagmamalaki
Sa aking gampanin, Ika’y aking kakandili.

Pagpapagal ko nawa’y Iyong alalahanin
At ako’y Iyong tulungan sa aking gampanin.
Hindi ko magagawa kung wala Ka sa akin;
Oo, hindi ko matatapos ang aking takbuhin.

Ako’y inalipusta, sininraan, pinahirapan,
Ngunit ako’y nagtitiis, nanatili, nagpatuloy;
Hindi nawalan ang aking pag-asa sa Iyo,
At hindi lumihis sa Iyong tamang daan.

Tunay na ako’y magtatapat sa Iyo.
Nawa’y tulungan na makasunod ako
Sa Iyong mga Salita, akin nawa’y matanto
Upang ako’y lagi sa Iyo’y matuto.

You And “i” Against The World

There is not even one safe place to stay on;
There is not even a word I have spoken.
The place is where I do not live in this world—
The world full of darkness of which is untold.

Everyday, I go against my enemies,
And their evil charms hurt my eyes.
The only thing I want to happen is to pass,
Not to this world, but in Your presence.

Father, there is no place like home here;
I do not have any friends I would like to hear:
“Die! Die! Die you weakling! You don’t deserve
To live in our world! Vanish in this Earth!”

No, I will not simply give up to them,
For I am not alone; I have my Father
Who guides me everyday and ever—
I will never lose my hope unto them.

You and “i” against the world, O Father;
Against my enemies, against them.
Dear Father, I will wait for your salvation;
I will wait for your righteous right hand.

Killing My Heart, Save me

My God, my enemies are around me—
They are the ones who devour my life
In serving You, my Father in Heaven—
And they are waiting to make me feeble.

They have entered in my mouth,
Passing through my lips and teeth;
They come in multiple
As they go through my throat.

They have not forgiven my apple,
Poisoning and diminishing it;
And they tried to stop the flow
Of the blood of my precious heart.

O Father, I don’t know what to do,
For they are killing my heart!
I am dying; but, no, I won’t
Let myself die in vain!

Save me, my dear Father, save me
From my enemies and grant me
This antidote of Yours in my body
For me to be with You again…

New Hope

I was a little plant without soil;
A seed without any fertilizer.
I knew I was without the toil
Of my gardener’s water.

Because of the heat of the sun,
I thought I was gon’na die soon.
But, no, I had never given up;
I won’t lose myself growing up.

I had waited for the gardener to come
‘Cause I guess he’d fetched me some
Water for my beautiful little fruit
Which I bore from my own good.

At last, the gardener had arrived,
Carrying the pot that he’d saved.
He said, “Little plant, you are precise!
You are worthy to be put in my paradise.”

Right now, I have this “rest”
Which patience grows and stays.
I will always remain in my rest
For it is where my new hope stays.

-Fiber Melody (July 28, 2011)

Obedience For Salvation

I have longed for It, o Father;
I have been waiting for the latter—
Destruction or Salvation—
For my dreary life I own.

I know I don’t live in this planet
Full of darkness and regret.
O when can I endure this world
If, in Your arms, I cannot hold?

Father in Heaven, I pray,
Give me understanding for me to stay;
Grant me obedience to conquer destruction
And for me to attain my salvation.

Please give me knowledge to know
What is right and what is wrong,
So that I will walk on the right way—
The way where Your Words can I obey.

Dear God, please help Your servant
From all the hindrances I couldn’t count.
Please fend me from what are evil
So as not to be tempted by the Devil.

Lason Sa Bibig

Ang nasa ko’y gustong salitain
Lahat ng aking ibig na sabihin,
Subalit ako’y natatakot
Na baka ako’y madaya’t mahikayat.

Dila ko’y nakamamatay;
At sa pagsalita ko’y may mamatay,
O baka malison dahil sa walang lumanay
Sa pananalitang kumikitil ng buhay.

Tila ako’y naglilingkod sa Ama’t nagpupuri,
Sinasamba, dinadakila dahil sa aking labi;
Ngunit ako’y natatakot na ako’y masumpa
Dahil lang sa aking masamang pangungutya.

Magsisikap akong magbago;
Sa aking pananalita’y aking sinasamo
Sa Iyo, o Ama, tulungan Mo po
Ang Iyong abang lingkod na nangangako.

Aking itong gagamitin sa aking paglilingkod
At hindi sa anumang pagtatalikod;
Sa aking pananalita Ika’y malugod
Nang upang ang mga utos Mo’y masunod.

-FM (July 19, 2011)

Sa Iyo Ako’y Mananatili

Ipinagtatapat ko sa Iyo
Na nadadaig ako sa mga tukso
Dito sa sanlibutan; na natutuyo
Ang aking mata kakaupo.

Ama, sa Iyo ako’y mananatili,
Tiyak ako’y Iyong mamahalin.
Ama, turuan mo akong ‘wag mapadaig
Yayamang ako’y Iyong bibigyang-ganti.

Pagpapala mo nawa’y maging akin,
Huwag ko sanang maangkin
Ang yaman sa mundo; huwag agawin
Ninoman ang Iyong pag-ibig sa akin.

Ama, sa Iyo ako’y huwag mahiwalay;
Huwag pahintulutan pag-ibig Mo’y mawalay.
Sana’y ang paglapit ko’y may saysay,
Upang sa Iyo ako’y makapanatili.

I Live To Worship

Dear God, I know I’m not alone;
I do not believe being thrown.
Father, You are my strength I own;
Without You, I’m merely alone.

I know I can’t live without You—
My purpose is to worship You.
I shall be cursed by You, I knew,
If I do not worship Your Name.

Though hardships would devour me,
I put my trust on You, Father;
For, I know, You shall strengthen me
So I can long endure these lusts.

Father, please help me understand
How to love You will all my heart;
Treat me as Your dear faithful child;
Include me in the Book of Life.

While I’m still on this wicked world,
I promise unto You, my God,
I will worship you come what may—
In this life, I will worship You.

Dumadalangin Sa Iyo

Sa Sandaling sa akin Ika’y lumayo,
Ang payo’t gabay Mo’y lumaho;
Ang hirap ko’t kahirapan sa aki’y Iyong itinayo
Upang ako’y dumalangin sa Iyo.

Ang hirap mamuhay mag-isa
Kapag Ika’y wala.
Pawang problema sa aki’y natira;
Puro bagabag, kalikuan at kabiguan na.

Kaya’t patawarin Mo ako,
Kahabaga’t pag-ibig muli ang ipakita Mo;
Sa aking paglalakbay, alam Mo
Ang aking mga dinaranas dito sa mundo.

Kahabagan Mo ang Iyong abang lingkod;
Turuan Mong makasunod—
Sa Iyong mga utos, aking masunod
Upang Ika’y aking malugod.

Ang tagumpay ay nasa pagsunod
Hindi lamang sa sa salita o pagbubuod,
Kundi ito’y napapatunayan sa paggawa ng lingkod
Nang ang Diyos ay aking malugod.

The Light Is My Life

O Father in Heaven,
It is You who has not yearn me
From my wickedness
And those hindrances.

I thank Thee,
For You have given me
This important personality
Which is to follow Thee.

I greatly praise Thee,
For a time came when You gave me
A choice between mine and Yours:
But I chose Yours than mine.

Billion Troubles, One Antidote

I can never escape from such adversity;
I can never flee from my troubles.
In this world, would I not wonder
Why I settle in such a sorrow planet?

I would give up everyday;
I would say I’d surrender.
Yet I am no longer a child
Who is carried by its young mother.

No, I am not a loser;
Nor am I thinking like a pessimist.
I never look at the things in this world
For I look what we cannot see!

Yes, I seek no material things;
I find what is for my sake.
I will keep on holding on
In His Truth I shall walk through.

For I have only one solution from them;
The things which seems impossible.
“The troubles will soon be over,
But the joys to come will last forever.”

Thy Precious Right Hand

O Lord, have mercy on Thy child;
Thy love that we need.
That we believe Thou shalt help
Someone is in need.

O Lord, I need Thee;
I need Thy Love that abodes me.
I want to be protected by Thee
For Thou art mine Aide.

O Lord, save me from mine enemies;
May Thou be my fortress.
My faith shalt seek Thee
And abandon mine old dress.

O Lord, I have no one to seeketh;
I have nowhere to conceal.
I say it is only unto Thee
Mine only Defender of Faith.

O Lord, make me brighter;
Light mine way into Thy commands.
Let me not be punished
By Thy Precious Right Hand.

Who Is It?

Who had brought us from this world
Full of darkness?
Who had been protecting us
From many detours we encounter?

Who had given us messages
Full of love and hope?
Who had not kept us alone
When troubles come?

Who had shown us inspirations
For us to move on?
Who had called another successor
To continue leading us unto Him?

It is him—who had brought us from this world
Full of darkness;
Who had been protecting us
From many detours we encounter.

It is him—who had given us messages
Full of love and hope;
Who had not kept us alone
When troubles come.

It is him—who had shown us inspirations
For us to move on;
Who had called another successor
To continue leading us unto Him.

It is for us to remember him;
His great and wonderful works.
Without him, we would not have been here;
We would still be befriending stones.

It is for us to remember him;
His undying love for everyone.
Without him, we would not be like this;
We would still have no friends at all.

It is for us to remember him;
His passionate love and care for us.
Without him, we would not have stayed in the light;
We would have been as dark as dusk.

May we believe in Thy mercy;
Thy love for us, o Lord.
Glory to Thee
Who has provided us everything.
Praise unto Thee
Who has always protected us.
Thank unto Thee
Who has made us His own.
