MY FAVORITE SONGS:
STARS IN HEAVEN
(Composed in IloiloMBIS, Iloilo City by John Brillantes (1987 )
As I see the stars in heaven
Twinkling in the skies
I have seen the beauty
That God has made for us.
As the night is getting darker,
But the light still shines
And the light gets even more even more brighter
Like the Son of God.
CHORUS:
You are a star in God’s creation my friend, you are important in God’s eyes
He died for you,
and set you free
Let His love be shown in you…
Don’t let sin destroy that light
That God has given you
Confess your sins to God
It will brighten your life.
Don’t be shy to share that light
To the sinful world
Lead them to Jesus Christ
Who is the true light
(Repeat Chorus)
MY BIBLE AND I
(Composed in Malvar boarding hauz, Davao by John Brillantes 1987)
We’ve traveled together, my Bible and I
Through all kinds of weather
With smile or with sigh
In sorrow or sunshine, In tempest or calm thy friendship unchanging my lamp and my Psalm.
We’ve traveled together, my Bible and I when life has grown weary and death e’en was nigh but all through the darkness of mist and of wrong I found thee a solace, a prayer or a song.
CHORUS:
And now my dear Bible reveal er of light thou sword of the spirit, put error to flight and still through life’s journey until the last sigh we’ll travel together, my Bible and I
So now who shall part us, my Bible and I shall ism or schism, or new lights who try, shall shadow for substance, or stone for good bread, supplant its sound wisdom, give folly instead
(Repeat chorus)
LIFE WITHOUT CHRIST
(Lyrics by Tina Quaizon & Melody by John Brillantes in Angeles City)
As I think how blessed I am
I can't imagine life without your loving hand
As I closed my eyes
And see the beauty in me.
Lord, what will my life be without you?
Knowing that I exist only for you
To think that my life is without a price,
Yet for my sins you sacrificed.
CHORUS:
My life would be a huge chunk of darkness
My soul would be a vast space of loneliness
Every success I owe it to thee,
Without you Lord, without you Lord,
This Life's a misery.
Please don't let me astray,
Because your presence is my only joy,
Everlasting life is being with you, I know,
So let me live the life that Jesus showed.
(Repeat Chorus)
CITY OF GOLD
(Composed in Vinzon, by John Brillantes)
Heaven is a place for people,
A people bound for glory;
As you can see the beauty,
Of that magnificent city.
Chorus:
City of Gold, City of gold
That is the home in glory,
City of gold, city of gold,
That is the place prepared for me.
Heaven is a great big city,
Where streets are made of gold,
You can't see a teardrop fallen,
A place that happy people live.
(Repeat chorus)
Christ is the stairway to heaven,
We need to repent and accept Him,
To be a part of the Kingdom,
A people bound for heaven.
(Repeat chorus)
HEED THE CALL
(Composed in DCMBC, Matina, Davao City by John Brillantes)
Intro: I surrender all chorus..
Look behind you who's there,
Look beside you who's there,
Do you know the people around you,
Maybe you don't know that they are living in sin,
And are bounded to hell.
Maybe you don't care, maybe you don't mind,
But it's time that you should realize,
That the duty to share the love of God,
Is in the people of God.
CHORUS:
God calls you, He calls you,
His work must be done;
He uses people like you to share the gospel to the lost...
Whoever you are, God calls you.
In the mountain, in the hills,
In the valleys and in the cities;
Millions of people go, millions of people die,
But do they know that they are saved?
Sa kacebuanohan, sa kailonggohan,
Bisag asang katawhan,
Ato gayong ipalapnag sa tanan,
Si Kristo ang kaluwasan.
(Repeat chorus)
Kapit bisig kaibigan tayo'y magtulungan,
Isigaw sa buong mundo,
Mula Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao,
Si Hesus ang kaluwasan.
(Chorus)
Whoever you are, God calls you...
Coda:
I surrender all, I surrender all,
All to thee my blessed Savior,
I surrender all...
