The lyrics of this song was written by Charline Mae Aquino three years ago when we were still in junior high. She told me after that year to just get rid of this one from my composition notebook but I promised her that I would put some melody of it. I've seen this hidden talent of my friend and the night before her debut celebration last February 3, I decided to do what I have promised her. There were unfinished lines so I tried to finish them for her. So here are the lyrics and chords. Hope you'd all be blessed!

GREATER FAITH
Key: C
Intro: Am-G-F (2x)

Am                            G
      There are those days
                         F
when life may seem so empty
Am                                 G
      and you try to act alright
       F                                 G
but inside it feels so lonely

Am                   G                         F
    A smile you give, a tear you hide
you try to keep it all inside
Am                         G                             F
    but sometimes things are just too strong
                                          G
that you break down, all alone

Refrain:
                          F                           C
But you're not alone, you never were
       Am                             G
You think your life's not fair
      Am           G     F       G                       C          C7
But you know for sure, someone's up there

Chorus:
                              F
Just believe and remember 
        G                          C              C7
that God is there by your side
                                         F
He'll lead you now and forever
G                                             C
Let Him be your shield and guide
                   Am                Em
Don't feel down, don't lose hope
F                                                       Fm
Sometimes hardships are what's needed
             Am       G       F        G     C
To lean on and have a greater faith


Verse 2:
You try to fit in
but you end up out of place
you give it all your best
but it didn't go the way you wanted it to be

You strive to do what's good and right
But you end up making the same mistakes
Loss of hope is what you feel
you just need to get on your knees

Refrain:
But you're not alone, you never were
You think your life's not fair
But you know for sure, someone's up there

Chorus:
Just believe and remember 
that God is there by your side
He'll lead you now and forever
Let HIm be your shield and guide

Don't feel down, don't lose hope
Sometimes hardships are what's needed
To lean on and have a greater faith

Bridge:
Am    G         F
Lord, I need you (4x)

Refrain:
But you're not alone, you never were
You think your life's not fair
But you know for sure, someone's up there

Chorus:
Just believe and remember 
that God is there by your side
He'll lead you now and forever
Let HIm be your shield and guide

Don't feel down, don't lose hope
Sometimes hardships are what's needed
To lean on and have a greater faith
(repeat 2x)

To lean on and have a 
To lean on and have a
Greater Faith

Outro:  
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Greater Faith // Lyrics by Charline Aquino // Melody and Sang by Lovely Salandino // (Voice Memo #1)

It's been a year after i posted my original song. And today, I am coming back to you with a new and first cover of one of my #lifesongs, written by Marylou Villegas, whom I love dearly and one of the reason why I started my soundcloud account.

This has became my favorite song to sing since I was seventeen and I have always been singing this during my birthdays because it helps me so much in remembering that God would always pave a way for me and would guide me all throughout my journey called life. This cover isn't perfect and I was sick during the whole recording inside my bedroom. 

I hope everyone would be blessed by this song as much as it did to me and I pray that everyone who listens this would be remembered how God loves us. :)

A video cover of this would be uploaded on Youtube in the future. Be blessed today guys! <3

Journey (Cover)

This was our youth camp theme song back in 2016. The lyrics and melody are simple but sincere. became one of my favorite after the event. I hope you'll be blessed by this! :)
