Here in My Life 

Bb                Ebadd9
I have never walked on water
    Gm7             Ebadd9
Felt the waves beneath my feet but
Bb                          Ebadd9
At your Word Lord, I’ll receive Your
Gm7                    Ebadd9
Faith to walk on oceans deep

Pre Chorus:
F          Ebadd9                            Bb       Bb/A
And I remember how You found me:

In that very same place
F          Ebadd9                             Gm7
All my failings surely would’ve drowned me
       Ebadd9
But You made a way

Chorus:
Bb                Bb/A
You are my freedom
Cm7
Jesus you’re the reason
        Ebadd9
I’m kneeling again at Your throne
Bb                     Bb/A
Where would I be without You
Ebadd9
Here in my life, here in my life?

Instrumental: EbMaj7 – Bb/A – Dm7add11 – Eb

Verse 2:
You have said that all the heavens
Sing for joy at one who finds
The way to freedom, truth of Jesus
Bought from death into His life

And I remember how You saw me:
Through the eyes of Your grace
And though the cost was Your beloved for me
Still you made a way!

Today’s song is brought to you by Hillsong Australia. I’ve been waiting for months for the album “Saviour King” to come out because of this song. Mia Fieldes did a marvelous job on the lyrics and chords.

Melts Your Heart, Not Your Hands

Movie and TV actress Celestine Cruz Gonzaga, popularly known by her screen name Toni Gonzaga is definitely blooming these days. Why? The answer is simple, Director Paul Soriano.

After tuning in to Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda’s morning show today, I couldn’t help but be happy for this couple. Toni and Paul makes a wonderful couple. Their love story is both inspiring and encouraging, reminds me of the book ‘When God writes your love story’.

Toni is one of the most visible artists in the local entertainment industry. With projects ranging from hosting, singing, and commercial modeling. No doubt, she is one of the most gifted and hard working lady in showbiz today. I like her not because she’s famous, but because her parents instilled in her Christian morals and values which are evident in her career decisions and life choices. She’s definitely a role model to the youth, especially to all filipinas.

Paul Soriano is a talented filmmaker/director from LA who now resides in Alabang and attends Alabang New Life. His directorial projects include popular TVC and Music videos of artists like Gary V, Regine Velasquez, and Julianne.

 



One Night with the King

There are five things in this world that I really cant’ stand:

One. Liars. I just abhor them and the lies they spread.
Two. People that stirs dissension among brothers/sisters.
Three. Cigarettes and alcohol. I can’t stand second hand smoke.
Four. Summer heat and mosquitoes.
Five. When filmmakers doesn’t do justice to a great story.

A perfect example of this is the movie entitled One Night with the King. I’ve been eager to watch this movie since its release in the USA last October. Esther is one of my favorite characters in the Bible and her story really speaks to women across all generations. I can’t hide my disappointment with this film, in fact, let me state it clearly: “I’m annoyed right to the bones.” When a good story is unfaithfully retold it really gets to me, especially when it’s peppered with explicit contradictions. Good thing they hired a great scriptwriter for this film, he saved the day!

King Xerxes: Tell me of your people, teach me of your ways
Queen Esther: My father told me, It takes the glory of God to conceal the matter and the honor of kings to search it out.

Hagai: Where are you from?
Queen Esther: I am… of the wind. Like the wind, blowing where I may please, and gathering where I choose.
Hagai: Well, we gather in an hour. Try not to blow away before then.

Mordecai: God, every day I pray for you to give me the paitence of Job, the wisdom of Solomon. And what do you give me? You give me the endless equivocations of a beautiful, young woman!
