this journey's for you
denver louie cabaluna
Verse 1:
There might be strong winds
In the oceans of life as we sail
Questions might fill us
Look above and you'll understand
Verse 2:
Doubt and confusion might be there
As we know what's within us
We might not see the road that we travel
Look within and you'll know
Refrain:
This is but a part of our journey
As we go on through life
Get moving, keep sailing on
Chorus:
Because He'll just be on the shore waiting
When everyone leaves us behind the sea
For this we offer our lives to you
All for you... This journey's for you.
(Repeat verse 1 until chorus)
Bridge:
And when there's nothing but sunset
When everyone gets upset
And when the waves and crushing inside
He'll be there. He'll just be there.
(Repeat chorus 2x)
blame
alwele pojas
Why am I this kind of person?
This has been my longest question
O, Mighty Author, Reason of Reason
Why am I like this, this kind of person?
I went back looking at my family
The reason is not enough and fled away
O, Highest Ghost shine on me and come
Who's to blame the way I am?
I looked around and there's no one to blame
And every time I seek I fall in shame
O, Jesus Christ I cannot blame my past
But You told me to just live on and so I must
Will You send an answer to my longest quest?
I'll patiently wait that my breath takes rest
Why do I mourn each time I experience bliss?
But reality says it is just that I am like this.
In loving others I have been so kind
But with myself i had been too blind
Yes, there's no one to blame the preson I have
It is just that the person in me I failed to love.
kinabuhi sa tagaytay
roy lapingcao
Pagkaanindot sa mga hulagway
Sa palibot sa Tagaytay.
Kami nagpuyo nga haruhay
Sa kasanag sa among panagway.
O Bathala Namo
Kami gitawag Nimo.
Isip binunyagang mga Kristyano
Kanimo sumusunod nga mga Misyonero.
Sa mga kasinatian nagmalaumon
Sa kinabuhing among latason.
Aron ang mga pangandoy pagakab-uton
Sa mga pagsulay nga dili masayon.
Kinabuhi nga gipili
Kami manatili.
Sa pagsugakodsa pagdumili
Sa mga tentasyon kami dili molingi.
Sa kinabuhing kulbahinam
Kami kanunay'ng mangandam.
Aron sa kaugalingon magmalambuon
Sa Misyon magmadaugon.
Sa pagpuyo nga nag-inusara
Sa pagpamalandong haskang nindota.
mabati nimo ang tiunay nga gugma
Sa Dios nga mahigugmaon maoy tamda.
questions
denver louie cabaluna
What would be the life's gist without questions?
And where would all the answer come and go?
Things would be all white like blank slate
No wonder, there will be no words to know
No twilight but dusk and melancholy
A time not to stop nonchalantly
No more hate and love to reckon so much
For lunaticity have come too such
Absurd but makes sense in reality
Like an old man losing his sanity
And the road we travel will never end
For the light have withered and have faded
The moon, star, and the sun will never shine
And ourselves, yes ourselves, we'll never find.
munserbi (mission is taking risk)
francisco tayaban, jr.
Narigat chi biag chi misyonaryo
Mun ahihrit pay irrit hinan ulo
An mangi biag hi ohan an Kristyano
Ngem naragsak hite an tamu
Nu matigom nan pamhod nan tinatagu
Te hi Mahnongan chi mawacha
An mangchat hi biah ya wagah
An mangitultuloy hinan tamu
An munserbi nan tinatagu.
