Paanong di kita ibigin
Paanong di ka patawarin
Bago man isilang sa lupa
Ika’y akin na’ng inaruga

Paanong ako’y ‘yong lisanin
Paanong ako’y ‘yong limutin
Gayon man poot papawiin
Ang Iyong pagbalik hihintayin

KORO:
Sa bawat pagtawag ko sa ‘yo
Sa bawat hakbang mong palayo
Nananangis ‘tong yaring puso
Hangad pa rin ang piling mo

Paanong di kita ibigin
Paanong di ka patawarin
Bago man isilang sa lupa
Ika’y akin nang inaruga

CODA:
Paanong di kita ibigin

My thoughts:  At times, we hear God speaking to us but we just ignore Him.  At times, we hear God calling us, but we do not heed His call.  Perhaps, because we are busy or pre-occupied by things in this world.  Yet, when we need Him, He never turn His back on us.  His love never ceases even when we neglect Him.  His love never ceases even when we feel that we do not need it.  Like the father in the parable of the Prodigal Son, God is there waiting for us, His arms wide open and ready to accept us without any question.  He will not ask us why. He will not ask us where we have been, the most and only important thing is that we are back.

His heart cries whenever we neglect Him, yet He never complains.  In my life now, perhaps, I am feeling the same.  I know that my love is nothing compared to that of God, yet I know He must have felt the same thing I am feeling now.  Before, my thoughts are focused on the man I love.   Now, he has left me.  Unlike God, I ask why and how could he do that to me.  Unlike God, I cannot accept him again, if he will ever come back, unless he proves himself worthy and changed.  Yet, like God, my heart cries with his every step away from me.  Like God, I still love him in spite of everything.

Now I know, how God must have felt during those times when I ignore His words and as I move away from Him.  Now, I hope not to hurt Him again.
