Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus



TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS By Hillsong https://youtu.be/czxd5oa-gi0

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

Don't Cry


GLORY OF LOVE By Chicago
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dFtJP-9cDf0


"Don't cry," he said.
Anguish is heard in his plea. 
"Please... It breaks my heart," he confirms.
His shoulders dropped, his head bowed down.
"I don't understand why you are crying.
Have i done something that hurt you? 
Am I not making you happy?
Am I not loving you enough?"
The sudden rush of doubts overwhelmed him.

"I'm sorry," i whispered.
Then words choke me to silence.
"I don't want you to feel that way,
But I can't help but succumb.
How can i tell you, my beloved
That the tears freely fall for every unspoken word
Of how grateful I am that you love me this much?
That the tears gently come for every memory 
Of how wonderful you are and how wonderful you make me feel?
That the tears fiercely flow for every fear
Of losing you?
Because one day, the love we share 
Will just be a memory;
Because one day, the reality we dread
Will take you away from me,
Because you were never mine."

"I'm sorry," he said
As he wipes every tear with a kiss.
"It will be alright," he assures.
I looked to his eyes and saw his love.
The love he gives me tenderly.
The love that makes me always hope
Always trust, always persevere.
Then suddenly, I'm fine. 
The tears stopped flowing,
Because his love is enough for me.

Ulan


HINAHANAP HANAP KITA 


Umuulan na naman.
Mahina lamang ang pagpatak kanina.
Ngayon ay bumuhos na nga
At ang langit ay makulimlim.
Nakikisama.
Sa akin.
Sa nararamdaman ko.
Ngayong malayo ka.
Oo nga at kasama lang kita kanina.
Abot tanaw. 
Abot kamay.
Abot saya. 
Pero oras na naman kasi
Para tayo ay maghiwalay.
Pansamantala lang naman.
Alam ko naman iyon.
Mamaya ay makakausap naman kita.
Pasensya ka na, mahal ko.
Hindi pa rin ako masanay na wala ka sa tabi ko.
Kahit pa nga andito ka lang naman sa puso ko.
Iniisip kita.
Nakangiti naman ako 
Habang inaalala kita.
Pero ito kasing puso ko.
Umiiyak.
Nangungulila.
Parang ang tagal ng takbo ng oras.
Habang hindi pa tayo magkasama,
Narito naman ang ulan para dumamay
Sa aking panglaw habang wala ka.
Sa pagbuhos ng ulan 
Tila iniiyak nito ang aking damdamin
Na pilit ko sanang ikinukubli
Dahil ayaw mong ako'y nalulungkot.
Sana saglit lamang ang ulan na ito.
Sana sumilay na ang ngiti ng araw
Mula sa iyong nangungusap na mga mata 
At muling sumigla ang paligid
Dahil nariyan ka na.
Kasama ko.
Masaya na ulit ako.
Saka pa lang lilipas ang ulan.

The Choice




She sighed.
Afraid.
He gasped.
Hopeful.
In that moment, 
As she stands in front of him,
Looking tenderly at her.
He still couldn't believe his eyes.
She is a sight to behold.
Oh how he loves her!
But she looks anxious. 
Her lovely eyes reflect her blurry thoughts.
He fought the urge for an embrace.
He knew it's what she needs
But he knew too,
That she has to do this on her own.
To make that choice.
To have and to hold
Or to let go and turn away.
She savors this moment
As her soul connects to his quiet spirit
In a way no one has ever done.
Oh how she adores him!
But he happened so fast.
Well, maybe not as fast
As she did to him.
He loves her since they met.
To him, she was immaculate.
To her, he was too good to be true.
But at this moment,
While her eyes are locked in his tender gaze, 
Nothing else matters.
She feels the happiness
That he alone could give.
He feels the hope for love
That she alone could give.
Ah, Love! pure and passionate, 
And strange is the pain you give.
She sighed. 
She has one chance.
He remained.
He chose to fight for her.
And so did she. 
She smiled.
Took a step forward.
He held her close.
Lost in the wonder of her scent.
In the wonder of her choice. 
Ah, Love! Strong and true,
And beautiful are the days you give
To two souls you counted as one!

Hello, Tears.



Hello, Tears.
Why the sudden visit?
I'm not expecting you. 
Your slow, tormenting flow
Makes me feel that unfamiliar pain.
Why, Tears? Why?
I appreciate your presence 
At this very moment.
You may stay for a while
But please don't flood my sleep.
Please go easy on me.
I can't be hurt.
Do you understand?
Tomorrow, I'll see the traces you will leave behind.
But I hope you won't visit me again.
I don't like this bewildering pain.
So please go and don't remind me ever again.
Goodbye, Tears.

What is the Coolest Love Story?



What is the coolest love story?
It's you. 
And me. 
Together. 
It's us waking up to a bright morning
Fighting over the white duvet.
It's us having coffee and toast while reading
With that sunrise and chirping of birds 
It's us running down the pavement
Beating our lungs and legs.
It's us playing and sweating profusely 
And burning calories off.
It's us lathering each other in bath
Or brushing each other's teeth.
It's us hating the idea of work
For trying to separate us for a day.
It's us thinking of each other
In the middle of a mission.
It's us throwing texts and emails
Just to get through the day. 
It's us driving like a mad man
Hurrying to be home.
It's us forgetting that crazy stunt
Once reunited after a day's work.
It's us gazing the stars at night
Listening as you play the guitar and sing
Wondering what on earth have i done that i ended up with you.
It's us relaxing inside our house
Fighting over the remote control,
It's us talking about people and places,
And cursing and blessing them to our heart's content.
It's us laughing on the jokes you crack
That others hardly consider to be funny.
It's us stopping to a silly and quiet smile
Realizing how crazy it is that there is "us"
It's us dancing in the silent music
That only our hearts can hear,
Or laying my head on your chest
Intoxicated by each other's scent.
It's us ending each day 
In the comfort of each other's arms.
It wouldn't matter if it had been good or not
For as along as we're together again.
For us, we are enough
And there is neither small or grand. 
Everything is just happy and perfect
Because there is you and me. 
So what is the coolest love story?
Nothing.
Because there is no "us".

I'm Done



I hate you so much. 
Because you make me hate myself.
There are no words to describe how much I despise you.
This is the last time I will try to be at peace with you. 
I'm done.


BECAUSE OF YOU
By Kelly Clarkson
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-Om7UMSJc


I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
