This day in history from:

Habang Atin ang Gabi (While the Night is Ours)

A good friend implanted this song in my head. Now I can't seem to take it out.

Hence, this song is dedicated to her.

I particularly adore this bare acoustic version.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Habang Atin ang Gabi
Lyricist: Armando Lao
Composer: Jay Durias

Sumapit man ang dilim
Hindi mangangamba
Magkakanlong sa dilim
Hindi nag-iisa
Dahil kapiling ka ooh

Lumalim man ang gabi
Hindi mahihimbing
Aabangan ang buwan
Habang binibilang ang mga bituin

REFRAIN:
May luha at dahas
Ng nagdaang umaga
Sa lambong ng gabi
Tila naglaho na
May luha at dahas
Sa darating na bukas
Ngunit habang gabi
Walang mababakas ooh

CHORUS:
Yakapin mo ako
Habang ating ang gabi/mundo
(Habang atin ang...ooh...)

Paglipas ng magdamag
Hindi malulumbay
Dahil buong magdamag
Tayong dal'wa sinta
Nangarap ng sabay

(Repeat REFRAIN)
(Repeat CHORUS 2 times)

CODA:
Yakapin mo ako
Habang atin ang gabi

Labels: acoustic, south border

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
