It is the month of February. In shopping malls everywhere, love is in the air again. Cute teddy
bears, chocolate and heart shaped decorations, pillows and anything with
hearts are up and are on display and for sale! Come, February 14, all the people around the world will
be celebrating "valentines day" (originated from Roman tradition in honor of
St.Valentine). For me, I believe love can be celebrated any day,
everyday and in every way. It's just that February has been the
customary tradition to celebrate, "love day". I'm sure married couples
as well as single people with their "special someone" are excited to
celebrate Vday.
Sorry to disappoint my readers, but I will not be posting about my
"someone special" in this blog. I want to dedicate this
post to our Almighty Father. I have heard a very beautiful song just the other day while checking out youtube. It is sung by
my favoring acoustic singer. Then I said to myself what a beautiful song of praise it is to our Almighty Father! So I then decided to make it my blog's theme song. So to honor Him
this love month, I am posting the lyrics and video below. Pilgrimsong is
the title of my blog. Why the title? because, I know I am a pilgrim on this earth. I'm aware
this is not my permanent home and what I am feeling, I express it better
through songs. For every entry, I try to make it a point to include a
song that goes together with my entry. Now, who says that love songs can
only be dedicated to a person?
I dedicate this song, to my dear Almighty Father. Like a line from a song that goes, "You are my source, You are my hope, You are the light that shines within me, You are the air that I breathe..." This song is for Him. I will never ever get tired of saying, "Thank You", and to sing songs of praise for Him everyday. This is the song of my heart for Him. My blog's theme song.

Dinggin mo aking pag-ibig,
sa Iyoý aking inaawit.
Puso koý Iyong masdan,
Ikaw ang sýang laman.
Himig ng pusoý ang alay,
sa Iyo O Diyos, aking buhay,
at hindi nagmamaliw
ang Iyong pagmamahal.
O Diyos, Ikaý aawitan,
bawat ngayon at kailanman.
Bawat himig at tinig,
na aking tinataglay,
sa Iyo, O Ama, lamang.
Sa Iyo nagtitiwala,
Buhay ko't aking magagawa.
Puso koý Iyong hagkan,
sa magpakailanman.
At hindi magsasawa,
awit koý ipadama.
Aking Diyos,
Ikaw ang aking ligaya.
