Here's an impromptu e-mail I sent to parishioners after Mass this Sunday...

TO FELLOW PARISHIONERS:
 
Here's a sample video of fun-singing Ryan (our organist) and I did after 11AM Mass today. Ryan was kind and patient enough to allow me to learn the music we  had in our hands for the first time, hehe. We did 5 takes in all (we started to get hungry that's why we had to stop ). Anyway, this was TAKE 1.
 
This is a song written by a former contemporary in the seminary (he was the first songwriter-seminarian of our seminary who later became a priest and music director of  same seminary)... while the lyrics was written by our professor/rector/former music director who later on became a Bishop in the Philippines. These 2 special people TAUGHT ME MUSIC (informal though it was), which I'm so blessed to share with you always in my 11 years being with you.
 
They co-wrote this song in the early or midst 2000 when Bishop visited the U.S. (Tampa, FL).

(Addendum: Like I said we were just having fun-singing... I was out of tune a lot of times hahaha. I promise
I will perfect this song soon and will be teaching this to our choir and our daily Mass Group)

Here's the lyric to the song:
 
Words by Most Rev. Zacharias “Ites” Jimenez, D.D.
 
Music by TQ Solis, Jr.
 
1
We are the children of the universe
Vessels of goodness, truth and beauty
Ambassadors of peace and love
We are the children of the world.

2
We sing of joy to everyone's heart
To touch and lift the human spirit
We hum a tune of harmony
Dancing to the feast of life.

Refrain:
We hold the promise of the future
Waiting to be born
We keep the strength of awesome wonder
Of a brandnew day.

3
We are the flowers in the garden
Of myriad colors, timeless splendor
Among the stones, grasses and thorns
We steal the eyes of everyone.

4
We are the treasure of humanity
The hope of every human family
No gold, no gem can buy a dream
Dream that one day will come true.

(Repeat Refrain)
 
(Repeat Verse 1)

Coda:
We can heal a broken world.

when you have the time, puwede suwayan pod nimog compose into a song the following lyrics, fr chic?  (a little background: a prior composition on this had already been performed in cebu and tagbilaran; the composer was a young girl from leyte.  but it was composed for a choir in syncopated style, mao nga lisod kantahon ug solo kay morag yabag paminawon.  with assurance of no danger of copyright infringement here...)

What Is Faith?

Faith is sunlight in the rain
A lowly worm with a gift of grace
Faith is letting go a sad refrain
And taking in a song of praise

Faith is the planter who plants
Knowing well the vagaries of weather
Faith is the chanter who chants
With a voice that floats like a feather

There the scarecrow does its task
With its jacket all a-tatter
Faith is knowing how to ask
Of the scarecrow what's the matter

A pause in earthly changes
The serenity after the storm
Faith is seeing beyond the mountain ranges
A butterfly after the worm

Faith is knowing how to cry
Faith is the scarecrow feeling pain
Faith is seeing a butterfly
Of sunlight in the rain.

kindly post your composition and performance here at tb in the near future, if it's not asking too much.
