sweet and serene....

holy week...

april 5-12, 2009

or Lenten season...

a week devoted by Roman Catholic for the salvation of mankind by its Savior....

• its color is violet, signifies the Lent by the Church
• time of prayers and reflections
• a time for oneself to Him

it is the time of the year that a part of me is very lonely, though i do not have any reasons to...

it is the time of the year that i always feel a mistake in me... a wrongly things done but not committed...

it is a time of the year when i feel there will always be hope of light for tommorrow, even i have nothing to look forward to...

it is a time of the year that i always feel i don't have any rights to smile even when i have to...

it is the time of the year that i always feel that people around me are fools in their own way for celebrating it...

it is the time of the year that i always question my self, "why am i being so fool not to feel this but i always think of this???"

it is the time of the year that i feel that i am nothing compared to Him

it is the time of the year that i can't joke about but i don't know why? but still, i did once...

• it's not violet, it's red for blood, for suffering
• time of confusion, i never prayed or reflect on things but i always have a feeling that i am talking to Him always, that i know what i did wrong and right...
• time of crying to Him, i really don't know why, but i am sad...

Palm Sunday

the warrior is a child

Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing, strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me, I'm hiding all the tears

They don't know that I go running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
Deep inside this armour - the warrior is a child.

Unafraid because His armour is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest.
People say that I'm amazing - never face retreat
But they don't see the enemies that lay me at His feet.

They don't know that I go running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and look up for a smile
'Cause deep inside this armour...

Deep inside this armour...
Deep inside this armour...
The warrior is a child.

Even when I'm lonely and in pain

I see you in the beauty of the stars at night

Just like your love that never ends

I see you in the glory

Of sweet success

Every hour, everyday

I can see you Lord

Whenever I pray

I see you Lord

In sorrow and in happiness

I see you in the glory

Of sweet success

I see you Lord

Every hour, everyday

I can see you Lord

Whenever I pray

I pray...

I can see you Lord

Whenever I pray...

one more gift

Refrain:

If there’s one more gift

I’d ask of you,

Lord it would be peace here on earth

as gentle as your children’s laughter

All around, all around

Verse 1:

Your people have grown weary

Of living in confusion

When will we realize

That neither heaven is at peace

When we will live not in peace

(Refrain)

Verse 2:

Grant me serenity within

For the confusions around

Are mere reflections..

Of what’s within..

What’s within in me?(Refrain)

Lead me Lord

Lead me Lord

Lead me by the hand

And make me face the rising sun

Comfort me through all the pain

That life may bring

There’s no other hope

That I can lean upon

Lead me Lord

Lead me all my life

Walk by me

Walk by me across

The lonely road that I may face

Take my arms and let your hand

Show me the way

Show the way to live inside your heart

All my days, all my life

[refrain]

You are my light

You’re the lamb upon my feet

All the time my Lord

I need You there

You are my light I (just) cannot live alone

Let me stay by Your guiding love

All through my life

Lead me Lord

Lead me Lord

Even though at times

I’d rather go alone my way

Help me take the right direction

Take Your road

Lead me Lord

And never leave my side

All my days, All my life

[refrain 2]

You are my light

You’re the lamb upon my feet

All the time my Lord

I need You there

You are my light I (just) cannot live alone

Let me stay by Your guiding love

All through my life

All through my days

Lead me, O Lord

Lead me Lord
