That one final song :)

Goosebumps Goosebumps Goosebumps!  That’s what I am having everytime I go to church and pray for my brother.  It’s still the same goosebumps I’m having right now when I started out writing.  I’m quite irritated that I am not nervous and bothered.  Yesterday, we went to St. Jude Thaddeus Parish in Mendiola with my brother and his girlfriend.  But I decided to take a different seat away from them.  There I saw the crucifix.  I told myself, if in that mass, the final song I’d be hearing will be my favorite song, I should be glad that in my heart I know my prayers had already been answered.  God will speak to me through that song…  

The mass went along.  The reading and homily made me smile.  We believe when we see it.  The priest told everyone, to barristers inside this Church, claim now that you have already passed.  Be positive.  Claim God’s Victory now!  I smiled again, for it made reminded me of the previous blog I wrote.  I was waiting for the final song of the mass only to know that the novena is part of the mass and it has just started.  I forgot to bring my booklet, instead I just continue praying.  When the novena has ended, the priest had proclaim his last words… honestly, I almost forgot that I am waiting for something.  The Final Blessing has already been granted.  There I stood waiting for the Holy Water to be poured!  I was surprised to have received so many drops hehehehe… Then I look at the crucifix again… still praying… then I heard the intro of a song…. I had that one big smile on my face coz I knew that song very very very very well… And I am teary-eyed while singing my favorite Bukas Palad song. 

I WILL SING FOREVER OF YOUR LOVE, OH LORD

I WILL CELEBRATE THE WONDER OF YOUR NAME.

FOR THE WORD THAT YOU SPEAK IS A SONG OF FORGIVENESS

AND A SONG OF GENTLE MERCY AND OF PEACE. 

LET US WAKE AT THE MORNING AND BE FILLED WITH YOUR LOVE

AND SING SONGS OF PRAISES ALL OUR DAYS.

FOR YOUR LOVE IS AS HIGH AS THE HEAVENS ABOVE US

AND YOUR FAITHFULNESS AS CERTAIN AS THE DAWN. 

I WILL SING FOREVER OF YOUR LOVE O LORD

FOR YOU ARE MY REFUGE AND MY STRENGTH

YOU FILL THE WORLD WITH YOUR LIFE GIVING SPIRIT

THAT SPEAKS YOUR WORD

YOUR WORD OF MERCY AND OF PEAACE. 

AND I WILL SING FOREVER OF YOUR LOVE, O LORD

YES, I WILL SING FOREVER OF YOUR LOVE — 

LORD.

I looked at my brother, gave one assuring pat on his shoulder and said, “Rovs, I am very confident, you will pass.”  I was still teary-eyed when I said it but in bliss J  

To God be all the Glory!!!
