And so I had a vision:
To sail a boat of my own..
Let me tell you a story..
That one God impressed to me.

Watchin’ the raging waves,
I pondered with a question of..
“Why did Jesus chose fishermen?”
Then his goal isn’t just to save the lost
But to gather them in unity.

I remember the rich man
Who failed in his test..
For he cannot leave his riches behind,
After boasting that he has done everything
For his the salvation of his soul.

Fishermen have simple lives
They fish as their living;
One “nothing has been caught”
Might end a life worth-saving.

But these fishermen understood
The essence of being disciples of Jesus;
They became fishers of men —
From island to another one.

Healing hands, kneeling soul
Shaking —
My body’s been shakin’
Yet I know He can make it
And He will lead me all through it.

I have these thoughts
Of exchanging the worries
With the renewal of mind,
Bartering what’s temporal
With what I long for eternal.

When I’m weak,
I look at myself —
Oh, I’m that small..
And figured all things out.
That, Oh..
My God’s so, So big.

When I’m at my worst,
I dance with sorrow as well
Like normal beings,
Lost, who keeps wandering away.
But in my worst,
In the dust in the desert,
I find the waters.

Gusto ko nang gumaling —
Paulit-ulit kong sinasabi sa utak ko
Paulit-ulit kong panalangin.
Pero naisip ko rin,
Kaya ko bang gumaling nang walang gamot?

Sa paghihintay kong hindi nakapila,
Sa paghihintay ko sa oras kong itinakda —
Sa oras ko nang pagsalang..
Gusto ko naman sanang
“Magaling na ako
Bago ako mag-undergo ng test.”

Naisip ko, sa ganitong estado pala’y
Gaya pala ito ng paghihintay
Sa pagbabalik ni Hesus..
Na ang nais ko lamang
Ay matagpuan Nya akong “magaling na”
Sa anumang sakit at sumpang dumapo sa akin.

Sa bawat pagsikat ng araw
At sa bawat pagsipat ko sa bagong buhay,
Ang tanging lunas pa rin
Ay ang presensya Nya..
Walang ibang kasagutan
Sa paghilom ng aking pagkatao
Kundi Sya’t Sya pa rin naman talaga.

Hindi ko naman pwedeng madalian
Ang oras ko tapos hindi pala ako handa
Hindi pala ako naghahanda
Sa pagbabalik Nya.
Yung wala pala akong ginagawa
Habang naghihintay ako sa pagdating Nya.

Isinasariwa ko kung ano ba dapat
Ang laman ng puso ko.
Dapat kasi hindi ako maligaw ng landas
Lahat kasi ng “dapat” maggawa ko..
Pero hindi eh..
Gusto lang ng Panginoon
Na maging totoo ako sa sarili ko,
Maging totoo ako sa Kanya..
Hindi ko kailangang itago
Yung mga kamalian ko sa buhay,
Walang pagpapanggap.

Write —
As if the sky wasn't blue
And every day
Is as upside down as the next.

Write —
In colors,
Then write
In black and white.

Write —
Because you can;
It’s your freedom.

Write novels that span pages upon pages Bound together by leather
Or some short words.

Every time I write,
I sing the hymn of my spirit.
And every time I speak,
It’s Your breath that moves the mountains.

I thought my heart and my head know me better
Than any person ever will...
There’s not much to say,
But there’s so much to be written —
It’s like You talking to me.

Naubos na ang aking pangambang
Ikinahon ko noon na may maliit na bintana,
Kumikinang ang lahat sa muli kong pag-ahon
Na para bang ako’y iba na.

Iba na sa kanilang paningin
Na tila ba, kaya ko ring hatiin ang karagatan
Hindi gamit ang sarili kong lakas
Ngunit habang ako’y nakapikit
Na inaalala ang pag-asang
Dumudungaw sa aking mga bintana
Ng aking nakaraan.

I left my past behind me
Not because it’s unimportant.
It’s just that —
It’s so true that nothing can be compared w/ Jesus.

We have choices to make each day,
And we always have something to rant about
We even share secrets and
We’re too human,
At times, I’m hating myself too.

Doing this and that
Makes us crazy in some ways
We’ve been so busy w/ what’s temporary
We lie to ourselves.. and so on.
