Lupa


  

 Lupa 
by Erik Santos


Nagmula sa lupa
Magbabalik na kusa
Ang buhay mong sa lupa nagmula

Bago mo linisin
Ang dungis ng ‘yong kapwa
Hugasan ang ‘yong putik sa mukha

Kung ano ang ‘di mo gusto
Huwag gawin sa iba
Kung ano ang ‘yong inutang
Ay s’ya ring kabayaran

Sa mundo ang buhay
Ay mayroong hangganan
Dahil ay lupa lamang

Kaya’t pilitin mong ika’y magbago
Habang may panahon ika’y magbago
Pagmamahal sa kapwa ay isipin mo

Kung ano ang ‘di mo gusto
Huwag gawin sa iba
Kung ano ang ‘yong inutang
Ay s’ya ring kabayaran

Sa mundo ang buhay
Ay mayroong hangganan
Dahil ay lupa lamang

Sa mundo ang buhay
Ay mayroong hangganan
Dahil ay lupa lamang

Kaya’t pilitin mong ika’y magbago
Habang may panahon ika’y magbago
Pagmamahal sa kapwa ay isipin mo

Kaya’t pilitin mong ika’y magbago
Habang may panahon ika’y magbago
Pagmamahal sa kapwa ay isipin mo

Dahil Nagmamahal



DAHIL NAGMAMAHAL
composed by Fr. GBoi Samonte (Diocese of Malolos)
performed by Fr. Danny Bermudo (Diocese of Malolos)

Dahil ikaw, Ama, ang unang nagmahal,
Kaya dagli akong sa 'Yo'y tumalima.
Paano ko tatanggihan ang pag-ibig Mong laan
Kung dalisay ang Iyong hangad sa akin noon pa man?

Ngunit kay rupok ng puso kong ito.
Sadya kitang nalimot, sa sala'y nalugmok.
Gayunpaman, katulad ko'y inibig Mo pa rin.
Ninais Mong maibalik ako sa 'Yong piling.

Kahit tanging Anak, Iyong ibinigay.
Sa aking kaligtasan, buhay N'ya'y inalay.

Dahil ikaw, Ama, ay nagmamahal.

Umasa ka sa Diyos


UMASA KA SA DIYOS

composed by Rev. Fr. Gboi Samonte

Diocese of Malolos

Refrain:
Umasa ka sa Diyos, ang mabuti'y gawin
At manahan kang ligtas sa lupain. 
Sa Diyos mo hanapin ang kaligayahan
At pangarap mo ay makakamtan.

Ang iyong sarili’y sa Diyos mo ilagak,
'Pag nagtiwala ka’y tutulungang ganap;
Ang kabutihan mo ay magliliwanag,
Katulad ng araw kung tanghaling tapat. 
(Repeat Refrain)

Sa harap ng Diyos ay pumanatag ka,
Maging matiyagang maghintay sa kanya;
H’wag mong kaiingitan ang gumiginhawa
Sa likong paraan, umunlad man sila.
(Repeat Refrain)

At pangarap mo ay makakamtan.


Tanging Yaman

TANGING YAMAN

Carol Banawa




Ikaw ang aking Tanging Yaman

Na di lubasang masumpungan
Ang nilikha mong kariktan
Sulyap ng ‘yong kagandahan

Ika’y hanap sa t’wina,
Nitong pusong
Ikaw lamang ang saya
Sa ganda ng umaga,
Nangungulila sa’yo sinta

(Repeat )

Ika’y hanap sa t’wina,
Sa kapwa ko
Kita laging nadarama
Sa iyong mga likha,
Hangad pa ring masdan
Ang ‘yong mukha

(Repeat )

Awit ng Paghahangad


AWIT NG PAGHAHANGAD
 
O Diyos Ikaw ang laging hanap,
Loob ko’y Ikaw ang tanging hangad.
 Nauuhaw akong parang tigang na lupa
Sa tubig ng ‘Yong pag-aaruga.
 
Ika’y pagmamasdan sa dakong banal,
Nang makita ko ang ‘Yong pagkarangal.
 Dadalangin akong nakataas aking kamay,
Magagalak na aawit ng papuring iaalay.
 
Koro:
Gunita ko’y Ikaw
Habang nahihimlay
Pagkat ang tulong Mo sa tuwina’y taglay.
 Sa lilim ng Iyong mga pakpak
(umaawit akong buong galak/umaawit, umaawit, umaawit akong buong galak.)
 
Aking kaluluwa’y kumakapit sa ‘Yo,
Kaligtasa’y t’yak kong hawak Mo ako.
 Magdiriwang ang hari ang Diyos S’yang dahilan.
 Ang sa Iyo ay nangakong galak yaong makakamtan. (koro)

Believe like a Child

 

I believe in miracles
I believe in impossibles
I believe in love and blessings from above
I believe in God
I believe God will provide
I believe He's at my side
I believe He knows my wishes and desires
Yes, I believe, I believe in God

Refrain
I believe in letting go and letting God
I believe in letting be and letting God be God
Yes, I believe, I believe in God

I believe He has a plan
I believe His hidden hand
I believe He's doing everything He can
and I believe He can

I believe things will be fine
I believe all in His time
I believe and trust
He has a big surprise
Yes, I believe, I am His child
(Repeat Refrain)

Yes, I believe, I believe in God








Letting Go



Letting Go  
by: Jamie Rivera
Album: Inspirations



I used to feel the emptiness inside me
I was not supposed to feel that way
I had everything I needed
But nothing ever made me
What I longed to be
The wealth, the name
The lights, the fame
Were everything to me
And then one night
Out of the blue
I heard His name (Jesus)
And so I took that step of faith
And walked into His domain
I believe that's what He wants
Every heart to do
When hard may seem the task
One step is all He asks of you

Letting go to know the truth
Is not so hard to do
It's the heart that's got the will
To open up for Him to fill
And trusting and believing Him
Is all we've got to do
It's just the heart that's got to move
For Him to show His love that's been there
Even when we never cared
Take hold of His hand
Let go and you'll understand

Why be afraid
For God knows what you're feeling
But even He can't do a thing
If He sees the heart's not willing
And so we ask what's going on
We want what's right and still do wrong
When hard may seem the task
One step is all He asks of you

I guess by now you'd realize
You can't be on your own
And all your cares
And all your burdens
Should be cast upon His throne
Letting go, just let go, letting go
Let go and you'll understand
Just let go and you'll understand

Magpasalamat sa Kanya




REFRAIN

Umawit nang sama-sama!
Magpasalamat tayo sa Kanya!
Sumayaw, humiyaw, magbunyi,
Sa pagmamahal ng dakilang Manlilikha!

Sa pag-ibig, sa pag-asa,
Sa biyaya at ligaya,
Magpasalamat sa Kanya
Sa mabuti N?yang balita. (REFRAIN)

Sa saganang pang-unawa
Sa masusing pagkalinga,
Magpasalamat sa Kanya
Sa handog N?yang kaligtasan. (REFRAIN)

Sa dalanging kaayusan
Sa mithiing kapayapaan,
Magpasalamat sa Kanya
Sa pangakong katarungan. (REFRAIN)

REFRAIN
My soul gives glory to our God! My spirit sings His praises!
My soul gives glory to our God! My spirit sings His praises!

The Lord has done great things for me,
all people shall now call me blessed.
From age to age, His mercy reigns
upon all His people who fear Him. (REFRAIN)

He fills the hungry with good things;

He throws the mighty from their thrones

We give Him every thanks and praise,
singing both now and forever! (REFRAIN)

Love and Truth Will Meet



Love and truth will meet.

Justice and peace will kiss.

Truth will blossom from the earth.

Justice will look down from heaven.





Based on Psalm 85:11-12

Lyrics and Music by Manoling Francisco, SJ

I Love the Lord

[REFRAIN:]
I love the Lord, He is filled with compassion.
He turned to me on the day that I called.
From the snares of the dark, O, Lord, save my life,
Be my strength.

Gracious is the Lord, and just.
Our God is mercy, rest to the weary.
Return my soul to the Lord our God who bids tears away.
I love the Lord. (REFRAIN)

How can I repay the Lord for all the goodness He has shown me?
I will raise the cup of salvation and call on His name.
I love the Lord. (REFRAIN)

I shall live my vows to You before Your people,
I am Your servant.
I will offer You my sacrifice of praise and of pray'r.
I love the Lord. (REFRAIN)

From the snares of the dark, O, Lord, save my life,
Be my strength.

From the snares of the dark, O, Lord, save my life,
Be my strength…

Amare et Servire





In omnibus amare. (In everything, love.)
In omnibus servire. (In everything, serve.)
In omnibus amare et servire Domino.
In everything, love and serve the Lord!

________________



From the school anthem of the Ateneo de Iloilo-Sta Maria Catholic School

Music by Manoling Francisco, SJ


This plaintive melody begins with the voice of Fr Jess Fernandez, beloved Jesuit priest, pillar of the Marriage Encounter movement, and founder of the Ephpheta Foundation for the Blind. He spent his entire life in love and in service, embodying the message of this chant. His simple but stirring voice reminds us of one of the basic principles in the Spiritual Exercises ? that all things must be used to love and serve the Lord, because all things come from Him, are imbued with Him, and find full perfection when used for Him.

Fr Manny Uy, SJ, former director of the Ateneo de Iloilo-Sta Maria Catholic School, commissioned Fr Manoling to compose a new anthem for their school. This chant is the refrain of the school's much longer anthem, whose verses are a dramatic musical narrative of the school's history.

This chant may be sung during prayer assemblies, and is appropriate for many parts of the Mass. It may be sung as an entrance hymn, for the Preparation of the Gifts, for Communion, and for the recessional.

Nandito lang Ako

The Official Theme Song of Momay

Momay is a Filipino fantasy-drama television series which premiered May 24, 2010 on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida block. The story revolves around a little girl who has died and come back as a ghost to protect and guard her family


Malaya na ako sa mundong ito
Makikita ko na ba ang aking paraiso
Ito na nga ba’ng susunod sa buhay ko
O mayron ba akong ibang daan

Bababa ako sa langit
Hindi ako mapakali
Babalik ako sa mundong naiwan ko

Hindi ko kayang iwanan ka
Hinding hindi ako
lalayo sa’yo Puso’t buhay ko’y nakalaan sa’yo
Nandito lang ako
Buksan mo lang ang puso mo

Di ko dapat isipin ang nakaraan
Dahil mayron akong dapat sundin na daan
Ngunit iba ang sinasabi ng aking puso
Tapusin ang nasimulang pangako

Bababa ako sa langit
Hindi ako mapakali
Babalik ako sa mundong naiwan ko

Hindi ko kayang iwanan ka
Hinding hindi ako lalayo sa’yo
Puso’t buhay ko’y nakalaan sa’yo
Nandito lang ako
Buksan mo lang ang puso mo (Oh Oh Oh…)

Hindi ko kayang iwanan ka (hindi ko kaya…)
Hinding hindi ako lalayo sa’yo
Puso’t buhay ko’y nakalaan sa’yo…
Nandito lang ako
Nandito lang ako
Nandito lang ako
Buksan mo lang ang puso mo…

Teach my Heart (Prayer of St. Anselm)





O Lord, my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You.

Teach my heart where and how to find You.



You are my God and my Lord and I've never seen You.

You've made me and remade me and bestowed on me all the good things I have.



And still I do not know You.

I have not done that for which I was made.

O Lord, my God, teach my heart where and how to seek You.
Teach my heart where and how to find You,
for I cannot see You unless You teach me,
or find You unless You show Yourself to me.

Let me seek You in my desire. Let me desire You in my seeking.
Let me find You by my loving You now.
Let me love You when I find You.

Teach me, Lord. Teach my heart where and how to find You.

Out of Roads


Naaalala lang ba natin ang Diyos kapag tayo ay may problema? Kapag tayo ay nawawala sa landas? Sa panahong may pagsubok at saka tayo tumatakbo papunta sa Diyos. Sa kabila ng ating mga pangamba at maging sa tagumpay, kasama natin ang Diyos. Manalig lamang tayo sa Kanya. Umuwi na tayo sa Kanya. Hinihintay Nya tayong magbalik.



OUT OF ROADS

Music by: Arnel Dc Aquino sj . Lyrics: Johnny Go SJ

Arranger: Arnel Dc Aquino Sj . Performer: Veepee Pinpin

I just run out of roads again
Don't know where to turn
I started counting stars again
Then I lost my way

I just ran out of time again
Will I ever learn?
To stop my chase of hours again
Only to learn I've lost the day?

Refrain:
The last thing I need
Is to hear this whisper in the wind
The last thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within

I'll need to go home soon, I know
But maybe tomorrow, not now
When the last thing I need here and now
Is this lasting need for You

I've been rushing out of rooms again
Too afraid to stay
I've been dreaming of some rainbow's end
But the colors melt away

Should my heart be like an open door
Help us to the storm
Permit Your wind to touch my soul
Only to leave this aching song?

(Repeat Refrain)



The one thing I need
Is to hear the whisper in the wind
The one thing I want
Is this voice that rises from within

I need to go home soon to You
Won't wait for tomorrow, right now
Is this haunting need for You
This haunting need for You

Far Greater Love



The song "Far Greater Love" is dedicated to Richie. It translates his martyrdom into an inspiring music. The lyrics was beautifully written by Johnny Go, SJ. The line "The storms of life may shake our ground" is a direct referral to Richie's martyrdom. The music by Manoling Francisco, SJ is powerful and brings hope. Here the lyrics:


Who would have known this would be a history so torn with wars?
The sky seems grayer in our hearts.
It’s grayer in our hearts.
I could have sworn it would end in misery,
But the world is turning still,
And we’re also learning, somewhere
Hidden out there, something’s greater than our hearts


The storms of life may shake our ground,
A greater peace still dwells in our hearts.
The dreams we build may fall apart,
A deeper hope still runs in our hearts.
Fear no harm, we are ruled by a far greater love,
A far greater love

Who would have known life would be such a mystery?
For the world is yearning still and our hearts keep burning.
We dare to believe there’s something greater than our hearts (REFRAIN)


We’re never alone.
All else may go wrong,
Still will there be a love far greater than our hearts

Awit ng Paghahangad


Awit ng Paghahangad 

a Filipino liturgy song based on PSALM 63

Performed by the Philippine Madrigal Singers



O Diyos Ikaw ang laging hanap,

Loob koy Ikaw ang tanging hangad.

Nauuhaw akong parang tigang na lupa
Sa tubig ng Yong pag-aaruga.

Ikay pagmamasdan sa dakong banal,
Nang makita ko ang Yong pagkarangal.
Dadalangin akong nakataas aking kamay,
Magagalak na aawit ng papuring iaalay.

Koro:
Gunita koy Ikaw
Habang nahihimlay
Pagkat ang tulong Mo sa tuwinay taglay.
Sa lilim ng Iyong mga pakpak

Kaligtasay tyak kong hawak Mo ako.
