Sa Iyo Lamang (Pilgrimsong's theme)



  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.
