STILL WE SING ALLELUIA
Music and lyrics by Paulo K Tiról

Through flowing tears: Alleluia.
Through growing fears: Alleluia.
Through the weariness of now,
we still find the voice somehow
to sing Alleluia.
Still we sing Alleluia.

When joy runs thin: Alleluia.
When hurt sets in: Alleluia. 
When our days are long and rough, 
still, our faith is cause enough
to sing Alleluia.
So we sing Alleluia.

For the Lord has risen and conquered sin,
in him we know:
that light and life and love shall win.
And so,

with one thing sure, Alleluia,
one word endures: Alleluia!
What gives meaning to our days
but to lift our hearts in praise
as we sing Alleluia?
Yes, we sing Alleluia!

In fading light: Alleluia.
In deep’ning night: Alleluia.
At the hour of our death, 
with our last remaining breath,
let us sing, Alleluia! 
Alleluia!
Still we sing Alleluia.

Still We Sing Alleluia

Beautiful Surprise

Beautiful Surprise

Joseph's Lullaby

Millions of prayers are lifted each day,
Millions of questions are asked.
For favors and futures
For healing and hope;
For trials and tests to pass.

And I wait and I wonder when answers will come,
Wonder if You've even heard.
Times that I find myself yielding to doubt,
I call to mind these words:

In Your own way, in Your own time,
In Your own wisdom, not in mine.
By Your love, by Your Holy will,
All pray'rs will be answered in Your own time.

I've had my moments of darkness, O Lord.
I've had my share of pain.
I've felt abandoned, unloved and alone
With no shelter from the rain.

Yet at times when I feel I'm about to give up,
Your love takes me by surprise.
In ways unexpected, Your goodness unfolds
Before my very eyes.

So I know that someday, somewhere, somehow,
You will reveal Your plan.
Give me the grace to surrender to You,
To trust Your loving hands!

All pray'rs will be answered in Your own time.

Open My Eyes Lord

Lead Me, Lord
Words and Music by N. Arnel A. de Pano


Lead me, Lord
Lead me by the hand and make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain that life may bring
There’s no other hope that I can lean upon
Lead me Lord, lead me all my life

Walk with me
Walk with me across the lonely roads of everyday
Take my arms and let your hand show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
Lead me, Lord all my life

You are my light
You’re the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord I need You there
You are my life 
I cannot live alone
Let me stay by Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord

Lead me, Lord
Even though at times
I’d rather go along my way
Help me take the right direction take Your road
Lead me Lord and never leave my side
All my days, All my life

You are my light
You’re the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my life I cannot live alone
Let me stay by Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, O Lord
All my life

Lead Me, Lord

Your Heart Today

I Saw My Lady Weep

Wonderfully Made
Words and Music by Paulo K Tiról
Sung by Joseph Legaspi

I've seen ev'ry tear that you've cried.
The fears and the failures you struggle to hide.
The worthiness doubted beneath all that pride.
The visions and dreams left behind.

I know your remorse and regret.
The secrets and stories you ache to forget.
So many people you'd die to be yet

I choose you, I choose you.
Do you know why I choose you?
I choose you.

If only you could see yourself the way that I do,
And know yourself the way I know you
Then you'd love yourself
As somebody who is wonderfully made.
Wonderfully made are you.

When you were first formed I was there
I've counted each step and each strand of your hair
How precious you are and yet so unaware 
That no treasure could ever compare

With all of your bruises and stains
I call you beloved that never will change
The mountains may crumble but this will remain:

I choose you, I choose you.
Do you know why I choose you?
I choose you.

Forever and ever I choose you.
Just as you are, I choose you.
Again and again, I choose you.

Wonderfully made,
Wonderfully made,
Wonderfully made are you.

Wonderfully Made

One More Gift
Words and Music by Fr. Manoling Fransciso, SJ

REFRAIN:
If there's one more gift
I'd ask of You, Lord
It would be peace here on earth;
As gentle as Your children's laughter
All around, all around

Your people have grown weary
Of living in confusion
When will we realize
That neither heaven is at peace
When we live not in peace (REFRAIN)

Grant me serenity within
For the confusions around
Are mere reflections
Of what's within
What's within me (REFRAIN)
