I Have You by Karen Carpenter

STATE OF MIND: getting ready for work
CURRENT FIXATION: the bookfair at the end of this week
LAST SONG SYNDROME: this song
LATEST BOOK PLOWED: chem and physics book…again?!? hehehe!!!
WORD FOR THE DAY: mother



I have always been a dreamer
Followed visions of my own
I was born to belong
To the lines of a song
And make then my home

I believe in happy endings
Though I've only known a few
For as rare as they are
Like a bright falling star
I found one in you

Sometimes
All the world can seem so friendless
And the road ahead so endless
And the dream so far away

Sometimes
When I'm almost to surrender
Then I stop and I remember
I have you to save my day

Often my imagination
Has me reaching out too far
When I fell you were there
With your hand in the air
You knew from the start

Sometimes
After all you've done to save me
Thru the love you freely gave me
Every step along the way

Sometimes
People ask what keeps me going
And in truth, it comes from knowing
I have you to save my day

Sometimes
Feeling helpless when I held you
Wishing words would come to tell you
I have you to save my day

Here I Am, Lord by Daniel O'Donnell

STATE OF MIND: antok na… *yawn*
CURRENT FIXATION: my sched for this week
LAST SONG SYNDROME: this song
LATEST BOOK PLOWED: chem book pa rin…
WORD FOR THE DAY: 2 words actually - Divine will

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.

I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will send the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide,
'Til their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

Here’s one song that both my cousin and I like… It was only late last week that I found out when she sent to me via e-mail the mp3 of this song. Thanks Yin! I truly, DEEPLY appreciate it… =)

This is one of the songs that I sing to Him when I’m down which is quite weird because its tone is not even gloomy… It’s a beautiful song… I imagined it being delivered in a musical play: a conversation between the Creator and His creation. Naks! (Iba na talaga brain waves ko kapag lumalalim ang gabi…hehehe!) Its message can be summarized in one word: CALLING…something that all of us should discern in this lifetime.

Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin by Martin Nievera

STATE OF MIND: lungkut-lungkutan pa rin…
CURRENT FIXATION: none
LAST SONG SYNDROME: this song
LATEST BOOK PLOWED: chem book though I forgot the author
WORD FOR THE DAY: gift (pa rin)



Ikaw ang lahat sa akin,
Kahit ika'y wala sa aking piling
Isang magandang alaala
Isang kahapon, lagi kong kasama

Ikaw ang lahat sa akin
Kahit ika'y di ko dapat ibigin
Dapat ba kitang limutin?
P'ano mapipigil ang isang damdamin?
Kung ang sinisigaw
Ikaw ang lahat sa akin

At kung hindi ngayon
Ang panahon, upang ikaw ay mahalin
Bukas na walang hanggan
Ako'y maghihintay pa rin

Ikaw ang lahat sa akin
Sa Maykapal aking dinadalangin (This is my best option...)
Dapat ba kitang limutin?
Pano mapipigil ang isang damdamin?
Kung ang sinisigaw
Ikaw ang lahat sa akin

At kung hindi ngayon
Ang panahon, upang ikaw ay mahalin
Bukas na walang hanggan
Ako'y maghihintay pa rin

Pano mapipigil ang isang damdamin?
Kung ang sinisigaw
Ikaw ang lahat sa akin

At kung hindi ngayon
Ang panahon, upang ikaw ay mahalin
Bukas na walang hanggan
Hanggang matapos ang kailan pa man
Bukas na walang hanggang
Ako'y maghihintay pa rin

Last night, I watched Martin Nievera’s XXV concert on Channel 2. Ok din pala siyang kumanta. Geez, that guy can really sing well...hehehe!

I never thought the day would come that I can actually relate to one of his songs… malungkot nga lang... *Sigh*

As for me, I only have this to say, "Letting go is one thing… Letting go and letting God take over is a totally different story all together…" I chose the latter.
