Pagsapit ng gabing kulimlim naririto Ako
Papawiin Ko ang lumbay mo
Kukumutan ka ng saya
At aakayin Ko ang pagsikat ng umaga

Yakapin mo’ng kaloob Kong buhay sa iyo
Sa piling Ko damhin mo ang mundo
Sa kapwa mo muling mabibigo
Kapayapaan Ko lamang ang sasagip sa iyo.

Anumang tagal ng gabi, kasama mo Ako
Di mo man tanto, narito Ako
Ang buhay Ko’ng nagdudulot ng buhay sa iyo
Kadilimang ito ay kakayanin mo

Pagsapit ng gabing kulimlim naririto Ako
Papawiin Ko ang lumbay mo
Kukumutan ka ng saya
At aakayin Ko ang pagsikat ng umaga

My thoughts: My sister and I bought the God of Silence CD of the Bukas Palad Ministry a few months ago.  That is after we heard and saw the song Empty Space in YouTube.  The CD contains a lot of inspiring songs, in fact, all songs are great in different ways.  This song is the one I have been listening to more often for the past few weeks.

It reminds us of God’s promise to carry us during our lowliest times.  He promise us that He will be there during the darkest moments of your life, even when you do not notice it.  He will never leave us but will remain with us until we see the sun shine again.

It also reminds us, that everyone can betray us or hurt us, but God will still be there with you no matter what.  In my life, I had been betrayed and hurt a lot of times by other people - people I love, people I trust.  My boyfriend for four years who was also my friend for more than 10 years betrayed and hurt me just recently.  I was so devastated, hurt, I was badly bruised.  Perhaps, I am bruised to the core.  I have built my world around this man and now, he is gone.

Yet, I know God is still there with me.  He is there when I was happy loving this man and He is there now that this man left me.  It is comforting to know that there is someone who loves me in spite of my imperfections.  That there is someone who never left my side even if I take Him for granted.  Someone who is more worthy of my love.  Someone who will make sure that I will be allright and things will be better when I am ready.

I am still hurting now.  There are times when I still cry.  There are still times when I lose hope and doubt that things will be better.  Yet, when I close my eyes and pray, I realize that God is still there, watching me, loving me.
