When an old song starts playing in your heart.

There's this beautiful song that I've known since I was as young as thirteen or fourteen. This was sung and recorded by a Filipino-American singer Rachael Lampa. (Sang an awesome cover of Rocketeer with Tyler Ward. Ring any bells?) So for the past months, or even years, I've barely listened to it. Apparently that is due to the influx of new songs and by the normal course of time. But somehow as I was approaching the house tonight, I found myself singing it.

Today is a day of great blessings in so many aspects, all flowing from morning until evening. As it is also my mother's birthday today, I should say it is one of the best "it's-my-mother's-birthday" day ever to come my way.

Doink.

I've come to that point in my life where I've learned to see beyond the surface. Where I see the face of God in every challenging encounter that comes my way; in every instance where my ego is pushed to the ground. This is that point in my life where I see clearly how He saves me from something I don't deserve for something that lasts forever, be that my flesh will go running after it in search of a ground to reign in temporary triumph.

Why? Well, it all lies in this song that has resided in my heart all these years.

This is how I react to awesome news.
Um, I photobooth? Hahaha

Let everything that breathes, praise You
The earth, the sky, the sea, praise You
Just as nature shows to us your blessing
Soon I find my heart confessing


My love is not my own
It all belongs to You
And after all You've done
The least that I can do
Is live my life in every part
Only to please my Father's heart


Love is all You need to heal us
Flowing from the heavens, Jesus
And with one voice we'll sing together
And this will be our song forever

I'm done here. Happy life!
