I’ve been inspired so much recently as I have been attending Team Revival and Koinonia Group sessions. So inspired in fact that I have easily completed 2 new compositions which I am giving to my community. What better way to help and give back than by helping inspire others and bringing them closer to God by means of music.

I have always written songs for other record companies… secular material… but never did I really put my heart into creating music for my Lord and Savior… until now.

I felt this sense of overflowing and overwhelming love and inspiration which I haven’t experienced before… and so, I spent time considerable time praying, asking the Lord for guidance as I created these musical works.

I ended up finishing 2 contrasting songs. Both professing love and faith but in different approaches.

The first one sings of thanksgiving. Written in tagalog, the song is entitled, “Munting Awit” (in English, “Little Song”). The melody is easy to follow. A song that could probably be used during worship.

The second is upbeat and free-flowing. Entitled, “From Now On”, It talks about discovering God and the transformation it has brought about after living a meaningless life of worldly matters. Very contemporary in arrangement and melody. Something a non-practicing Christian-Catholic could easily pickup and listen to.

I thank my community, Elim, their elders and facilitators, for all the guidance and spiritual sustenance they have provided… I yearn more and more to know my Savior and to offer everything I have and all that I am.

The more I surrender… the more I am filled up.

To God be the Glory.
