Oh Padre, en los cielos, tu Nombre Santo es. 
Que venga tu Reino y tu voluntad, aqui como en los cielos, que venga hoy.
Tuyo es el Reino, tuyo el Poder, tuya es la Gloria por siempre amén.

Padre Nuestro

Phew! That took a while. Here's our Day 3 song, which happens to be our love story. Hope you enjoy it...cause we are!
Words and Music by Andrew and Amy Fajkus

You were six, I was seven
In first and second grade
When first I noted your existence
Our names appeared in juxtaposition
Sharing a square on the calendar in June

Who could know, who would guess it?
That we would share much more
The pieces had been set in motion
Though at the time we had no notion
Our little hearts were learning how to love

Chorus 1
His ways were higher
Our hearts were filled with wonder
His plans were so much greater
That we would love each other

All the years blur together
But I seem to recall
A girl with laughter so rambunctious
Creative in so many functions
So in love with Jesus and His Bride

Yeah, it’s true, we were friendly
But I recall the day
I felt that friend-zone time was over
At a wedding in October
---Suddenly I saw you in new light

(dramatic pause)

….. Like I said, I’m a bit fuzzy
On when my affections bloomed
But by and by… Like 3 years later
Well, two-and-a half… in the dead of winter
 Finally, I made the fateful call

Sweet relief, sweeter surrender
Made long before that night
Gave up some dreams and expectations
Gained a fair amount of patience
… Something you would need to be my wife…

Chorus 2
His ways were higher
Our hearts were filled with wonder
His plans were so much deeper
In Him, our love grew stronger

We went slow, we went steady
We savored every part
Like long, romantic walks at Walmart
Eating too much frozen yogurt
Hanging with each others’ families
Talking through an entire movie
Praying through some stormy weather
Learning we are strong together
Holding tightly to each other
Promising our love forever

Chorus 3
His ways are higher
Our hearts are still in wonder
He’s molding us together
Best friends, in love forever


5in5 2016 Day 3 (Our Love Story) by Andrew and Amy Fajkus

My spirit is hovering over the waters so deep
To bring life to the lifeless and form to the formless I seek

Out of dust I have formed You, now receive the life I now breathe
Know it's I who have made you and you now bear my name

Breathe me in
Breathe me in

You will receive power when My spirit comes upon you
Bring life to the lifeless, I will breathe through you
From the north to the south 
To the east and west 
Every tongue shall confess JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
Lord of All

Receive

[5in5] Day 2 - Sweet Surrender (with Amanda Russman)

By Way Of Reminder

This song is based off quotes from the book Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It also reflects my feelings about a little room called #20. 

Lyrics:

Can you keep a secret?
It's the greatest secret.
Could you keep it if I told you one?
Can I really trust you?
I don't know why not to.
Let me let you in on all the fun

Come with me
And you'll see
Beyond that tree
A little gate
Here it is
A secret garden
And only me
Wants see it be alive

Can you keep a secret?
It's a stolen garden
But no one really wants it, no one cares
No one really goes there
So I don't  think it's unfair
I just want neglected things to thrive

Come with me
And you'll see
Beyond that tree
A little gate
Here it is
A secret garden
And only me
Wants see it be alive

Can you keep a secret?
I don't know what I'm doing
I just cleared the weeds from little buds
I quite think they liked it
It seems like they're excited 
To poke their little heads up from the earth

Come with me
And you'll see
Beyond that tree
A little gate
Here it is
A secret garden
And only me
Wants see it be alive

Waking up 
A secret garden
Now that's the best fun of my life

My Secret Garden at 5in5 (Day 3)

Here's Day 4 of 5in5 2013 - a fun song about wanting to be a real man of God.

This Man is Yours

Comfort

5in5 Day 5!!!

Again, feel free to attribute all imperfections to the fact that my upper respiratory system is in lockdown. (I have a really bad cold.) I was pretty much just focusing on getting out some semblance of the tones intended. :)


Oh Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace

Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubting, may I shine faith
Revive hope in despair
Send me where there is darkness to bring light
And joy into sadness
O divine Master

May I not so much seek to be consoled
As to console
Or to be understood as to understand
Or to be loved 
As to love with all my heart

For it is in giving that we receive
And in pardoning, we are pardoned
It is in dying that we are born
To eternal life

Prayer of St. Francis (An Instrument of Your Peace)

Though I walk through the desert place
Though my feet stumble and fall
Though the skies, they withhold the rain
Hope is failing, something dies away

The Lord, my Strength
The Lord, my Strength
He makes my feet walk on the heights
He makes my feel walk on the heights

In the barrenness, in the loneliness
Yet my confidence remains in Him

[5in5] Day 5: Collaboration Project with Omonse- "Heights"

like a weary traveler
wandering through this mystery
like a heart that's listening
for the truest melody

just write til the light
shines in 
stand up and sing
cause we're listening
we're listening

hey you beautiful souls
look at the wonder you bring
from the songs that you sing
hey you beautiful souls
you can set the world on fire
