MOST ROMANTIC PLACE

MOST ROMANTIC PLACE

I am right here waiting for you

In front of a soundless running stream

Just looking at the pure crystal water

This place is not a dream

Sitting in the banks of the river

Under a tree that is abounded everywhere

This tree is not your favorite cherry blossom

But it bare twelve special fruits in different seasons

I wish I could talk to you in romantic night

In this kind of place with a candle light

But the moon and stars will never appear

Cause God made the sky so bright and clear

Even so, I’ll serenade you with a gentle song

But forgive me that something really went wrong

I can’t bring any instrument in this kind of place

But I can ask an angel to lend me a harp of praise

Let me hold your hand as we walk alongside

On the golden street that is extremely wide

Until we reach the shining pearly gate

Just make me feel it’s worth the wait

Lastly I want to bring a present for you

But I don’t know what kind of ring will do

All the precious stones are just decorations on the wall 

Jasper, sapphire, emerald and other twelve in all

We'll never worry for any sorrow

By no means you will not cry

We will live for an everlasting

For the former things had all gone by

Can we simply stop for a moment?

I just realize that we are already in a glorified body

We are not in the typical world were used to be

Coz we’re now in the presence of the Almighty

I can’t show you the affection that once I have

Because this place merely requires a phileo love

Sorry I didn’t redeem my time on earth

I’m regretful coz before I did not appreciate its worth

(read the verses and read the poem again)

Revelation 21:1  

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;

Revelation 22:1-5  

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ...And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Revelation 21:18-21  

And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, 

as it were transparent glass.

Revelation 21:4  

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

THE RAIN

THE RAIN

how pretty art thou

fallen like a snow

even though the sun hideth

your countenance still glow

a mist out of heaven

thou didst purify the earth

oh cleanse my heart from sorrow

thy facades are my worth

i love to watch thee falling

the time you hit the ground

the ripples that you make

each drop makes silent sound

thy resonance is peace

i love to hear you speak

and while your hands surround me

there's nothing i would seek

you are a beautiful creation

an everlasting friend

a warmth of the tomorrow

you are God's loving hand

don't go far away

when things just fall apart

please be right here beside me

and heal my wounded heart

JUST A SIMPLE LETTER

JUST A SIMPLE LETTER

i

A quarter of a decade has gone

I’m really still in love with someone

I marvel that she’s not in my dreams

But her smile takes all what it means

To write this poem is nothing real

‘til I notice there’s something I feel

Coz it’s you who made me feel this way

I just want to write what I cannot say

No deep thoughts in this little rhyme

Just words to fathom this heart of mine

Affections hidden by things unknown

Love, let now unveil its own

ii

Denial is a great sin of love

And rejection is my fright of life

While time draws the end of its scope

My prayer is a great resonant of hope

Why can’t I say I love you?

If that thing alone will I ever do

If our time could only be defied

I won’t give up until I’ve tried

If it is not now, then when?

Till what time will the unsaid be spoken?

I pray I could see God’s time table

Learn to trust Him until I’m able

iii

What if tomorrow I knew you no more?

If this feeling fades away in an instance

Then it does not converge in heaven’s will

But I will never lose you for a distance

Can this love persist till the end?

Why God hath given this desire of mine?

Nevertheless, I’ll cherish all days He’s given me

While I am still under the platform of time

But now is now and then is then

And this is what I feel at the present

It is you who is in my mind

I want you to know that in this moment

iv

Your soul can’t direct whom you will love

It just whispers that your feeling is true

If your heart is not for me

I’m still glad I’ve experienced loving you

I don’t want to waste my time dreaming

While waiting I want to grow

I dare not to trust mine heart’s desire

The Lord’s will is the best I know

If God made me for you and you for me

Someday our love will grow relentlessly

Planned by God in a perfect way

He will preserve our hearts until that day

made for the girl whom i really like....
i don't know why..

WHEN I FELL IN LOVE

WHEN I FELL IN LOVE

Do you remember the day when we met in a church

That Sunday morning was cold and the sky was fine

I remember that day when i fell in love

Do you remember the place and the chair where we sit

Before the sermon starts you smile and said hi

I remember the place where i fell in love

CHORUS 1:

I remember you were wearing 

a long bright white gown

You're the one who plays the piano 

in the church of that town

In the choir you sing the alto 

with a beautiful sound

Is it you? Are you the one?

Do you remember the time when i first asked your name
I'm stunned when you stopped and look into my eyes
I remember that time when i fell in love

I remember the joy when I hold your hand

And when the service has ended you said "bye!"

I remember the joy when i fell in love

CHORUS 2:

And the wind blows your long hair 

that is golden brown

While you're playing the piano 

in the church of that town

In the choir you sing the alto 

with a beautiful sound

Is it you? Are you the one?

I WILL DO MY BEST FOR JESUS

I WILL DO MY BEST FOR JESUS

(OAE-MRT Zambales 2011)

Theme Song

I'll climb every mountain heights above

To proclaim my Savior's matchless love

I will do my best to give glory to my King

For His sacrifice on Calvary

I'll tell others how Christ died for me

I will do my best to give glory to my King

CHORUS:

I wil do my best for Jesus

I will do my best for Him

I will do my best (Yes!) Do my best!

I will turn the whole world upside down

And give glory to my King

I will do my best (Yes!)

I will do my best for HIM!

I know Jesus would have me speak

To some wanderer whom I should seek

I will do my best to give glory to my King

And I will abide in Christ alone

Do His loving will and not my own

I will do my best to give glory to my King

Actually, 1 month before the event ay may nacomposed na akong tune for OAE-MRT Zambales 2011. Tapos nilapatan ng lyrics ni Cris Cayamanda, Maranatha Alvares, at May Moya. Gusto ko ung lyrics pero medyo di ko gusto yung tune ng kanta. Kaya nung  first day ng event ay di muna namin inawit (di ko muna tinuro as a leader). Ang bad ko!! Dahil talagang dapat may theme song sabi ni Ptr. Abel ay dapat kinabukasan may maituro na. Kinagabihan ay nag-isip talaga ako ng bagong tune at mga lyrics. 12am-2am.. At yun.. kinabukasan naituro din ang kanta kahit late na. Kinanta din namin ito sa FCBC junior's camp. Trio kami nila ate Christine Rae Echon at Vanaiah Tampo. Nakabuo kami ng dalawa pang tono (kahit oido lang) para magblend. Nais ko sanang gawin itong piyesa pero di ko pa nagagawa. 

TOGETHER AS ONE

TOGETHER AS ONE

(for Echon Family Reunion)

We are standing here

singing all together as one

welcome to the family and

We are standing here

sharing all the moments we've gone

proud to be a family

CHORUS:

We'll keep on standing

We'll keep on singing

We'll keep on holding each others hand

We'll keep on loving

We'll keep on caring

We'll be together as one

Sharing all our dreams

step by step we know we can do

We're glad to be a family and

Sharing all our hopes

With a God so faithful and true

The foundation of our family

CODA:

and with the love

that comes from God

We will keep on standing

We'll keep on singing

We'll keep on holding each others hand

We'll keep on loving

We'll keep on caring

We'll be together as one

SOMEBODY

SOMEBODY

Somebody said "You always make me smile.

You're more than beautiful than stars at night"

Somebody asked you "Can i be your friend?"

Somebody tells you "I think I'm in love.

I cannot define it as the clouds above."

Somebody asked you "Can i hold your hand?"

CHORUS:

(And he said:)

Can you catch me

(when i fall) 3x

I will love you

(with my all) 3x

Somebody asked you "Can you feel my heart?

Cause it stops on beating when we're both apart."

*lost line*

Somebody tells you "Catch me when i fall.

What e're will happen i will give my all."

Somebody said, "You are my everything."

CLIMB:

That somebody is me

CHORUS:

Can you catch me

(when i fall) 3x

I will love you

(with my all) 3x

NARARAPAT BA?

NARARAPAT BA?
(by the Echon5)


Noong una kang makilala
Ang puso ko'y nabihag mo na
Sa iyong ganda ako ay nabighani
Nararapat ba?


Gulong-gulo ang puso ko
Dapat ba na umibig sa'yo
Nagtatanong ang damdamin
Naraapat ba?


CHORUS:
Nararapat ba?
Pag-ibig nati'y sadyang magkaiba
'Pagkat ako'y isang mananampalataya
Nais kong sundin ang kalooban Nya

Noong una kang makilala

Ang puso ko'y nabihag mo na

Sa iyong ganda ako ay nabighani

Nararapat ba?

Gulong-gulo ang puso ko

Dapat ba na umibig sa'yo

Nagtatanong ang damdamin

Naraapat ba?

Gabi ng December 27 ay nasa tabing dagat kaming lima para sa planong mag night swimming
pero di natuloy dahil madilim (hahaha) at malakas ang alon. Kaya nag bonfire nalang kami
at naglatag ng banig sa tabing dagat. Hawak ko ang gitara ang  tatlo ay kumakain ng boybawang at si ryan ay nagpapaputok ng 5star. Ayun, nagkwentuhan tungkol sa pag-ibig.. lano na sa pag-ibig sa unbeliever! Problema yan ni Japhet. hehe! kaya nakabuo ng kanta.
Ang tanong: Nararapat ba?

MO-ZANE

MO-ZANE

life, overflowing with tears

when sky filled with your smile

death, rejoicing with agony

hope that are full-bloomed with lies

love, keeps on playing in mind

sunrise glows so dark around

hatred, bound with sorrows wings

making a harmonious sound

prayer, keeps on quiet realms

the heavens hear no-ones cry

dreams, flying to emptiness

selfishly drawing me nigh

words, silenced with great tune

voice can hear for those who know

quietness, spoken loud

the deeds of the unknown shows

(08/01/10)


Mo-zane is a hebrew word. I encountered it sa swordsearcher when i am making a book entitled Apologia. Ung book di ko patapos 20% nalang. hahah. Ung content naman.. ewan. basta pumasok lang siguro saisip ko dahil sa title.

WE WILL FOLLOW

WE WILL FOLLOW

(OAE-MRT Rizal 2009)

Theme Song

We, the fishers of men

Born for God's great plan

We will straightway leave our nets

And we will serve Him with our best

Yes! We will follow Jesus Christ our Lord

We will follow, we will follow

Lord wherever you will lead us we will go

We will straightway leave our nets

And we will serve Him with our best

Yes! We will follow Jesus Christ our Lord


Yes! We will follow Jesus Christ our Lord
Yes! We will follow Jesus Christ our Lord



Composed from the theme verse/s Matthew 4:19-20 
(19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.)

AWITIN KO

AWITIN KO

(Philippine Normal University)

Di ko malimot ang mga ngiti

mga tawanan sa bawat sandali

Iyakan, tampuhang walang katapusan

Walang kabuluhang kwentuhan

Sa kahirapan di ka iiwan

Pagkat sa piling ko'y mahal kita

Sa tagumpay at kabiguan

Nangangakong may kasama ka

KORO:

Ang awiting ito'y para sa'yo

Nagmumula ito sa aking puso

Kahit na tayo ay magkalayo

Tandaan mo itong ... awitin ko

*wala pang 2nd stanza hanggang ngayon*

SABI KO MAHAL KITA

SABI KO MAHAL KITA

(Word of Life Bible Institute 2007)

number one, original

nakatatak sa puso at isipan ko

bakit ba di ko alam 

na ako'y umiibig na pala sa'yo

kahit na magkalayo

ikaw parin ang sigaw ng aking puso

dalangin sa Panginoon

na sana'y marinig muli ang tinig mo

CHORUS:

di mo ba napapansin

na ako sayo'y may nakatagong pagtingin

sabi ko mahal kita

nais ko lang naman

na sana'y malaman ang laman ng damdamin

sabi ko mahal kita

kung ako'y para sa'yo

at ikaw ay para lang sa akin

kung laan nang Maykapal

nais ko sana'y ikaw ay makapiling

EVERLASTING PROMISE

EVERLASTING PROMISE

I've tried to hide my feelings

walk alone and

I've keep on myself not showing

The pain that I feel inside

Why? I can’t see the light in the darkness

I can’t find no hope and

Why? I feel that there’s no one beside me

In the time I was to cry

Pre-Chorus:

I hear a whisper from heaven

Speak of His promise to me

Says he’ll not leave me

Still saying don’t worry do not fear

Chorus:

I don’t need to cry ‘cause now I know why

That each time I fall You will help me to fly

When the rain falleth down and the sun does not shine

Lord you are here with me holding this hand of mine

I know that you’ll make the whole day at ease

Just when the rainbow shows a sign of your everlasting promise

You, you heal the broken part in me

Lord you heal the pain and

You give me your everlasting love

That caused me to be free

What, what joy I feel inside my heart

I just can explain and

What comfort I feel when I’m with you

Cause You always make me smile

(Repeat Chorus)

Ang pinakaunang nagawa kong kanta. 
Itong kanta ay ginawa ko dahil napagusapan namin ng GTR (give thanks reloaded) with kuya paul, lemuel, Kuya karl, at Wendell na lahat kami ay may dapat macompose na kanta. Inspired sa ulan dahil tag-ulan nung ginawa ko ito at medyo malungkot dahil umiiyak ang langit. Ang RA ko sa Word of Life Bible institute nung time na ito ay si kuya Daniel Mabini. Ipinaparinig naming sa kanya ang mga nacompose naming na awit.
