himig ng aking buhay

-by Arnel Aquino, SJ

Sikat ng umaga
Buhos ng ulan
Simoy ng dapithapon
Sinag ng buwan
Batis na malinaw
Dagat na bughaw
Gayon ang Panginoon kong
Hesus ng aking buhay

Saan man ako bumaling
Ika’y naroon
Tumalikod man sa ‘yo
Dakilang pag-ibig mo
Sa aki’y tatawag at magpapaalalang
Ako’y iyong iniibig
At siyang itatapat sa puso

Tinig ng kaibigan
Oyayi ng ina
Pag-asa ng ulila
Bisig ng dukha
Ilaw ng may takot
Ginhawa ng aba
Gayon ang Panginoon kong
Hesus ng aking buhay

Saan man ako bumaling
Ika’y naroon
Tumalikod man sa ‘yo
Dakilang pag-ibig mo
Sa aki’y tatawag at magpapaalalang
Ako’y iyong iniibig
At siyang itatapat sa puso

Saan man ako bumaling
Ika’y naroon
Tumalikod man sa ‘yo
Dakilang pag-ibig mo
Sa aki’y tatawag at magpapaalalang
Ako’y iyong iniibig
At siyang itatapat sa puso

below is a rough translation of the song (~_~)

the light of day,
the pour of the rain,
the breeze as evening comes,
the glow of the moon,
the clear stream,
the blue ocean.
that is my lord,
the lord jesus in my life.

wherever i look,
you are there.
i may turn my back from you,
your great love
calls me and reminds me
that you love me.
and i feel it in my heart.

the voice of a friend,
the lullaby of a mother,
the hope for the forgotten,
the arms for the poor,
the light for the scared,
the relief from the humble of hearts.
that is my lord,
the lord jesus in my life.

wherever i look,
you are there.
i may turn my back from you,
your great love
calls me and reminds me
that you love me.
and i feel it in my heart.

wherever i look,
you are there.
i may turn my back from you,
your great love
calls me and reminds me
that you love me.
and i feel it in my heart.
