I poured my heart all night
Groaned in suffering and plight
Tears drown my eyes of sight
And worn my strength out and might.
Hear me O God, hear me
Have You no pity in me?
It is I Your child in plea
Fall on no deaf ears, hear me.
As the night crawls to the morning
So as I let myself go singing
Before You God I beg and come kneeling
Asking You please listen to me wailing.
Save me from the years of darkness
Save me from the years of distress
Save me from drowning in wickedness
That left me with nothing but a big mess.
To You I come running
To You I come knocking
To You I come kneeling
To bow down and get healing.
Heal the mind so crooked
Heal the heart so wicked
Heal me O God, heal me
Of the brokenness that's in me.
Apart from You I am nothing
Apart from You I mean not a thing
For I am the scum of the earth
That amounts to tons of filth.
Renew me O God
Take me from the pile of mud
For it's in You I am new
With clear horizon I have in view.

[Poem] For HE is...
Who made the heavens and the earth
That brought life to everything at its birth?
Who made the sun and the moon
That brought light at dark and at noon?
Who made the air that breeze through me
That blows humid off the face with glee?
Who made you and me
That created all the likeness I see?
Who made the sun to rise
That sets when the night ball arise?
Who breathe the life in me
And puts spirit that never rots indeed?
Who is this very being
That makes people rejoice and singing?
Who is this Lord they hail
That rises even the dead and frail?
He is the God of all gods
The Lord of all lords
The One Almighty all praise He deserve
The One we lift up and love and serve.
He is the King of all kings
To whom offerings we give and bring
He is the only God I know
To whom I am willing to bow down low.

[Poem] Awit sa Pantas
Karimlan ay pumukaw
Sa mundo na akin ay nagunaw
Pighati at takot yaring sumaklaw
Sa pagkatao kong mapagpaimbabaw.
Puno ng pag-asa landas ay binagtas
Sa isang iglap, nawala't nagwakas
Ito ba sa tadhana ko'y nakabalangkas
Na siyang inadya ng Pantas sa itaas?
Sa isang sulok ako ay nakalugmok
Di man lang dapuan ng antok
Itong damdaming nakakasulasok
Saglit nang igugupo ng pagkataong marupok.
Dali-daling tumingala
Umaasa sa isang himala
O Pantas, Iyong galing ipakilala
Nang kalagayan ay hindi na lumala.
'Anak', sambit mong marahan
Aking pagtangis tumigil ng dahan-dahan
Pusong lukob ng kaba at kaligayahan
Nang ako'y anyayahan sa Iyong tahanan.
Batid ko ang Iyong kabutihan
Bukal ang kaloobang may kagandahan
Sa pagtanggap sa pagkataong may karumihan
Iyong yakap ng pagbati sa aki'y nakagaan.
Patawarin, ako'y Iyo muling pagbigyan
Ng pagkakataong tumayo sa Iyong harapan
Bagong buhay sa Iyo'y nagisnan
At kaligyahan sa Iyo lamang nasumpungan.
Pagmamahal sa puso Mo ay puspos
Nang iyong buhay ipinangtubos
Sa kasalanang sa Iyo ami'y itinulos
Pasasalamat sa Iyo ay ubod at lubos.

[Poem] I do
Not long ago I dreamed,
Of what this day would have been,
Til this moment just you and me,
With God our witness and the people here we see.
Acquainting with you is a skill,
Didn't know anything, so nil.
Are you the one in God's will
Or a daydream by the window sill?
As days and nights gone by,
Eyes on you, with such stare and sly.
No one knows what's on my mind,
That I admire such one of a kind.
The moment I waited all my life,
Is like perfectly carved with a sharp knife.
Where details were meticulously etched,
And drawn more beautifully than a sketch.
'I do', is my answer to you.
I promise to God and heard by all of you.
Today, I start forever and a day with you,
My best friend, my lover, God's blessing that's all you.

[Poem] YOU took me
In my life I reigned supreme,
Did everything that feed my dream,
They may say my youth seemed wasted,
I did not care as I had 'em tasted.
You stood along my way,
Blocked the road I traveled like maze,
I know my youth will be halted,
If I let You, my life will be jaded.
I could care less for my life,
I wouldn't mind living in strife,
So I challenged You to bring a new being in me,
That I know would struggle You to achieve.
A full control by You I gave,
To consume all the power You have saved,
In a snap I know I could change Your mind,
Surrender to me so others You may start findin'.
Lost, defeated I've become,
For Your ways are higher than mine,
Light-footed I hopped this life and traversed,
As I allowed You to take me out of my course.
Humble, I'm baffled,
Left with Your gift no words to mumble,
For nothing did I receive as precious as this,
A life of victory, second chances and new beginnings.
That was I am,
In life of lies and all shamble.
This is me now,
In YOU - changed, victorious, I come humble.

[Poem] Glory to the Highest
Glory to the highest of all,
The Lord our God behold!
Lay down a royal pathway,
On to where His presence may stay.
O wonderful are the works of His hands,
More than what our minds could understand,
Breathtaking, majestic are His creations,
Crafted, molded by the God of passion.
We may say how much we love the King,
Yet no one can out give the love He brings.
We may say we obey all He says,
Yet His Son embodied prophesy to the detail.
His Name all day we praise,
Let our hearts sing it out in loud raise,
To the highest place His glory shall reign,
As we bow down before the King of grace.
Glory to the God of wonders!
Let nothing be a sight of squander.
Every heartbeat, every drumbeat,
All for Him to the God at the highest seat!

[Poem] No one but the Great I AM
You are so big as huge as the universe,
You are so great, overwhelmed at One source,
You are awesome no words can describe it,
There's no other Name but You, the Great I AM.
You are the healer to the decaying flesh,
You quench thirst when we need a refresh,
You are the commander of every battle we conquer,
There's no other Name but You, the Great I AM.
You meet us at our situation,
Your love overflows in once an empty station,
You came down from heaven to serve us,
O how can we repay the love You have shown us?
You are the God of all gods, the King of all kings,
The Lord I would surrender to and serve,
For Thy flesh pierced and died on the cross,
A perfect lamb of God all praise You deserve.

[Poem] Aking AMA
Isang hapong malamlam,
Na ang araw ay hindi matanaw,
Samu't sari sa aking balintataw,
Alaala ng kahapong wari'y nais nang maparam.
Madalas sa isipa'y sumasagi,
Aking buhay yaring ibahagi,
Sa kung sinumang nais pumawi,
Ng lungkot sa mukha ay nakaguhit.
Taon ay lumipas,
Waring kahapon ay kay layong binagtas,
Pusong sawi sumuko at napagal,
Na ang buhay minsa'y inibig nang mapigtal.
Ngunit nang Ika'y lumapit,
Iyong sabi'y sa Iyong kamay ay kumapit,
Ako'y sumunod na pawang nabatubalani,
Patungong daang matuwid ito'y aking batid.
Ikaw na nga, Ikaw na,
Ang pinakahihintay ng aking tadhana!
Kulang man ako sa Iyo'y haharap,
Walang katumbas ang buhay sa Iyo ay nahagap.
Panginoon ako'y Iyong patawarin,
Sa mga kasalanang hindi ninais hangarin,
Taglay sa puso ako'y Iyong mapansin,
Nang mapawi lahat yaring isipin.
O Ama kay buti Mo,
Buhay ng Iyong Anak ay isinugo,
Upang kaming uhaw at tuyo,
Ay mailigtas, bagaman kulang, Iyo pa ring binuo.
Na ang araw ay hindi matanaw,
Samu't sari sa aking balintataw,
Alaala ng kahapong wari'y nais nang maparam.
Madalas sa isipa'y sumasagi,
Aking buhay yaring ibahagi,
Sa kung sinumang nais pumawi,
Ng lungkot sa mukha ay nakaguhit.

Buhay ng Iyong Anak ay isinugo,

Ay mailigtas, bagaman kulang, Iyo pa ring binuo.

[Blog] On my wedding day...
Growing up, I have an idea of how the man of my dreams would be like. You know how girls have a checklist of their preferences? He has to be like this and like that, from this school, a graduate of, working as, from a family of and the list goes on. With that in my head, I always picture out how this day would be like until now that I stand before you. Unfortunately, none of my preferences were met because I am too blessed to have the man that surpasses that list -- God has exceeded my expectations by a mile...or even two.
I always knew that I'm gonna be a missus of a leader, a musician, a wiseman and an obedient man of God. As a preparation, I went on with my life with the desire locked in my heart that one day, God will introduce you to me. Even on the day that met you, I did not have a slight of idea that you are the one but everyone in this room must agree with me that he is such an eye candy.
Days had gone by and I began to see other sides of you -- both good and bad -- and I said to myself that this guy is a handful. I was silently watching every move you make and I'm greatful to have known you that way for I see the real you. Moreso in the years that passed by did I know you deeper -- you are the leader every man would wanna follow, a mentor every man would wanna be shadowed with, a lover any woman would pray for and a best friend anyone would want to have coffee with.
I read books and meditated on Proverbs 31 to prepare me to be a good wife so my man would be respected at the city gate. It is the real checklist every praying woman must have and man, it is not an easy one to be honest with you. There are things to surrender and to die to self at but God has blessed us to fulfill one of His many promises to us...for us.
When you asked me to marry you, I know God played the best part of this whole thing because everything we need are here to the littlest detail there is. This union is an epitome of what answered prayers are, of God's favor and of His faithfulnes -- that His will is good, perfect and beautiful. I will glorify God for this union starting this moment til the end of our days...and I say Amen to that!
My mister, I promise before God that I will be a good wife, your lover, your best ally, your best friend, a home maker and a loving mom for our future kids. From this day forward, there are no longer 'You' and 'I'; only 'Us' and 'We'. I will be your partner and will never leave you behind even in fire. I will take the lead from you and will be with you every step of the way. I will let you be the man God has created you to be and will stand beside you holding your hands as you make big decisions for our family.
I love you darling and I thank God for the blessing that you are.
