Letter of a Missionary

Dear Doc,

My love for you is not a secret anymore. The feelings that I have for you was revealed through the 10/40 windows of my heart. My only desire now is to reach your unreached heart. I know that your boundary is difficult to cross. But because of my deepest determination, I will climb every mountain, I will pass through many dangerous jungles and I will cross the deepest ocean to be with you for a lifetime.
The only sender that I have to support my mission is my heart that beats for you. I hope and pray that in God’s own time, you and I will live in the same tent together.

Love,
The Missionary

The Most Beautiful Thing

Words: Chernie Ong
Music: Joemar Caparas


I ran away and hide,
Thinking all these things was a lie.
Time passed by and I wait,
Hoping for something great.

I laughed with my friends,
I cried for the pains,
I thought nothing last forever,
That there’s nothing to remember.

I wanted to please the world,
But I just cannot afford.
In the end I fall,
And I don’t have anything at all.

Someone told me of someone,
Someone who loves me more than anyone,
I only laughed at myself and say,
Who would love a rug in display?

Chorus:

But just then I breakdown and cry,
How could someone so wonderful die?
He died on the cross to save me
Thinking not Himself but me.

And now someone did ask me,
What’s the most beautiful thing that happened to me?
I looked back and remembered the cross,
That’s enough for me to boast.

The world hates me now.
But who cares? I’ll never be down.
For if they knew what’s inside of me,
They would sing joyfully.

Now, I laughed with my friends,
I cried for the pains,
But I know something last forever,
Someday I’ll be with my father.

Wala Nang Hahanapin Pa

Sa mga oras na nag-iisa
Lungkot aking nadarama
Sa lumalabo kong pag-asa
Liwanag Iyong pinakita

Kay dami-daming hinahanap
Na di ko matagpuan
Pagmamahal na inaasam
Sa piling Mo’y aking nakamtan

Chorus:

Saan ko pa matatagpuan
Kalingang walang papantay?
Kanino pa mararanasan
Pagmamahal na tunay?
Kagalakang dulot mo
Di mabibigay ng kahit sino
Buhay na walang hanggan
Higit pa sa kayamanan

Bridge:

Ikaw, sa buhay ko’y gumagabay
Wala ng hahanapin pang iba
Dahil Ika’y nadarama
Puso ko’y panatag na

Walking in the Truth Together

Words: Heather Vargas, Joemar Caparas
Music: Joemar Caparas
Interpretation: Zion Batch


I’ll lead you to the right way
Just listen to what I say
Trust me with all your heart
We will never be apart

The enemy might be hiding
They attack when you’re deciding
Just be firm call My name
You will never be the same

Chorus:

Now and forever
We will walk in the truth together
You and I (you and i)
If afraid you must try
You and I (you and i)
It is fine if you cry
You and I (you and i)
I will be by your side
You and I
You and I

With suffering and sorrow
You may feel like scarecrow
Do not worry, do not fear
And never lose your hope

IKAW AY TUNAY

Words and music: Joemar Caparas
Interpretation: Crystal Mendoza


Sa kabila ng pandaraya nitong mundo
Pananalig ko Sayo’y di magbabago
Ang sandigan ko ay ang pangako mo
Na kailanman ay di mo binigo

Sabihin man ng iba, Ika’y di tunay
Ang buhay ko Sayo parin iaalay
Sapagkat ika’y aking nararanasan
Ako’y binigyan mo ng kapayapaan

Kaya’t Sayo lamang, ako’y maglilingkod
Ang himig at ang tinig ko
Sayo lamang ihahandog

Chorus:

Pagkat Ikaw ay tunay
Sa Iyo’y wala ng papantay
Ang Iyong kaluwalhatian
At karangalan ay di kayang tumbasan
At wala na ngang makahihigit
Sa pag-ibig na di mo pinagkait
O kaybuti mo Hesus sa akin.

I Will Abide In You


Words: Heather Vargas/ joms
Music: Joemar Caparas
Interpretation: Geverine Macassadoc


You’ve been with me from the start
Doing Your purpose and plan
I always feel Your love and care
In my own way I must share

The joy in my heart is overflowing
You’re giving me bountiful blessings
I want to express my gratitude
For in my life You’re so faithful

Chorus:

You deserve my praises
Lord, Your word is true
Every time I stumble
You’re always here to rescue
You are so powerful
My strength comes from You
That’s why, I will abide in You.

Bridge:

At times I may not understand
The works of Your mighty hands
But I am so determined to remain
Even though there’s so much pain
