Binhi sang Pagtuo

Dear Friends,
Greeting!
The Christ Emphasis Week of Central Philippine University started today with the theme “What do you want out of life?” and text John 1:37-39. Rev. Jerson Narciso, University Chaplain, reflected in his presentation of theme and text that when the would-be disciples of Jesus asked him “where do you live?” they were interested in seeing whether the private life of Jesus coincided with his public life. They found out that Jesus was consistent in “walking his talk” both in his private and public life.
This should be a constant challenge to all of us. We must be true to the words that we profess by showing it in our daily lives, both at home and in public.
Let me share to you our CEW Theme Song entitled, “Life can begin again.” This was composed by Pastor Joshua Zonita, Chaplain of Filamer Christian University. He performed it earlier at the Rose Memorial Hall during the two Opening Celebrations, morning and afternoon, with the Filamer Praise and Worship Team.
Verse 1
I want something real, not fancy words
I’m done with my false hope.
I want something whole, something pure
I’m tired of enslaving rules.
Refrain:
‘coz deep inside I’m broken, deep inside I’m weak.
The twist and turns of this life made me feel so down, oh down.
Chorus:
Show me your love Oh Jesus, teach me how to live for you.
Give me a sense of freedom, ‘coz nobody else will do.
I’ll take that zig zag, zig zag road if you’ll stay close with me.
This is the day, this is the hour to sing, life can begin again.
Verse 2
Having this clear night without stars is just like an illusion.
I want something fresh, simply new, somehow there’s something more than this.
Refrain:
‘coz deep inside I’m worn out, deep inside I’m dry.
I need your traveling grace now, Oh give me one more chance, just once more.
May God bless us all!
Sincerely,
Pastor Francis Neil G. Jalando-on
