Tanaga 1 - Ang Kanyang Alay, Ang Ating Kaligtasan (His Sacrifice, Our Salvation)
Iniwanan si Cristo
Nang mapatawad tayo;
Lubos siyang naghirap
Upang tayo'y matanggap!
(Jesus Christ was forsaken
That we might be forgiven;
He was greatly afflicted
That we might be accepted!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 27 march 2012
Tanaga 13: Bagong Buhay (New Life)
Ang buhay na kay Cristo
Ay 'sang buhay na bago;
'Di na tulad ng dati
Ang inalay sa Hari.
(A life to Christ is given
Is a life that is diff'rent;
No more same as the old things
What is offered to the King.)

Tanaga 6 - Kay Yahweh'y Magtiwala (Trust To The LORD)
Tayo man ay manghina,
Tayo ma'y manghimagod,
Kay Yahweh'y magtiwala
'Pagkat s'ya'y ating tanod.
(Though to be weak we may be
And be lead in much distress,
Trust to the LORD Almighty
For over us, He watches.)

Tanaga 7 - Sa Aking Kahinaan (In My Weakness)
Sa aking kahinaan,
Yahweh, lakas ko'y ikaw,
'Pagkat sa karimlan man
Ika'y wagas na ilaw!
(In my utterly weakness
Great I AM, You are my might,
For even in the darkness
You're an everlasting light!)

A Salvation Story
I.
Once I saw myself sitting on my castle‘s throne -
In my heart’s realm, lording over my life alone –
Reigned in a kingdom which’s only a n illusion,
King of the self of mine but the slave of my own!
I slumbered from the truth – I’m only a captive!
Slave of pride, in prison of my ego I live
Being a slave of this throne, I am so passive;
I’m bound on this filthy castle and I can’t leave!
This is not a castle at all but a dungeon!
In this castle of my life I am imprisoned -
Feeling like a king of my own failing reason,
But blinded by my painful hallucination!
II.
To a sinful life I’ve sold myself like a slave
And being naïve went to the Prison of Grave;
From my unrighteousness, myself I cannot save -
'Fore the Lord’s holiness, so desp'rately depraved!
His wrath was upon me, for I was a sinner
His judgment’s ‘gainst me, for I was a dirt-bearer
His glory’s withdrawn from me, being transgressor
For my sin, I was sep’rated from the Master!
So I cried freedom to the Lord of Creation
And to the God Almighty, I cried redemption;
From my sinful living, I asked for salvation,
That He may deliver me from my transgressions!
III.
God, who is love, looked upon me with compassion;
With His loving-kindness, He heard my petition,
For He longed to pick me from my depravation;
From slav’ry, He desired to give me salvation!
And the Lord said, “From your sins, I’ll deliver you;
From all your unrighteousness, you will I rescue,
And I will replace your death with life that is true;
Your being and nature, all of them I’ll renew! ”
And from His Deity, Himself He had emptied
That from all my ungodliness, I might be freed;
To make Himself a sin for me, the Lord He did
That all my iniquities might be paid!
IV.
In a garden, the Son knelt in great misery,
In Gethsemane, He was pressed with agony;
Being so distressed, all His sweat became bloody,
And with great sorrow, He was crushed so severely!
And all of my sins and the world’s on Him were laid,
For all of us, a sin the Son of God was made;
That the Father may judge Him and our debts be paid
That His righteousness might be in us in a trade.
On the cross, the Son was forsaken and lonely
For the Father have turned from Him, being dirty
And He was left bearing Adam’s iniquity
So He cried, “My God, why have You forsaken me? ”
V.
Because of all my transgressions, He was wounded
He was flogged for all of the crimes I’ve committed
For all my sins, with suff’ring, He was afflicted
And for my iniquities, to death He had bled.
So all my impurities He bore at the cross
And my sickness was carried away with His loss;
With His fall, my sinfulness was brought to a toss
And with His death ended all my shame so gross.
Now with His death, I’m dead with my unrighteousness
And with the Lord died all of my uncleanliness;
With His burial, I’m buried with Adam’s curses
And in His tomb was stored all of my trespasses!
VI.
But from rest rose up the Almighty Creator
And over the Hades, He was the Conqueror;
From the dead has risen the God-Man our Savior
And over our falling short He was the Victor!
He’s risen that from my death I’ll be delivered
He’s resurrected that my sin might be conquered
To bring me back to pasture came back my Shepherd
And to set me free rose up the Savior my Lord!
Now forever has risen the Almighty King
That He may give me hope that is ever living;
Eternally lives the Maker of ev’rything
That He may give me life everlasting!
VII.
You, O Pharisee, why do you boast of your own?
Why do you put trust and hope on your works alone?
Why are you trying hard to earn your salvation
And striving so hard to earn your own redemption?
For a free gift is the grace of God that’s saving
Freely available’s the life everlasting;
Pricelessly given was His act of redeeming
And needless to pay’s His freedom that’s unbinding!
In your brokenness, seek for the Lord’s help alone
For the Great I AM, the Lord, holds your redemption;
In your sinfulness, don’t trust the strength of your own
For only Jesus is the Way to Salvation!

*Tetelestai! (It Is Finished!)
Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
The enemy's already trampled on
And triumphantly doomed to destruction.
Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
Fully paid are our debts and transgressions
To us is complete justification.
Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
Our wounds are already healed by the Son
And in His name, our sicknesses are gone.
Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy Oe
All our chains He has broken and brought down
And our bondages He has made undone.
Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
For eternity in heaven's been won
And granted for us is the salvation!

Loftiness And Lowliness
From loftiness one becomes lowly
. and from lowliness one becomes lofty.
Consider the highest of the peaks;
. it has nothing but rocks and snow only.
Consider the lowest of the plains;
. it is filled with every kind of life.
Consider the biggest of the behemoths;
. the thoughts of its mind are all about
. food alone.
Consider the the smallest of the mammals;
. it can be shrewder than any creature.
Consider the tallest of the trees;
. it is the first thing that a lightning
. strikes.
Consider the shortest of the shrubs;
. no fiercest northern wind can uproot it.
Consider the heaviest of the clouds;
. it is the soonest water to fall.
Consider the slightest of the vapors;
. it shall continue its rise.
Consider the mature palm branch;
. it is brought down by its heaviness.
Consider the new and fresh leaf;
. its lightness lifts it up.
Consider the size of the elephant;
. by it, this animal would be the first
. a hunter notices.
Consider the smallness of the ant;
. with it, only a few is interested
. with it as a food.
Consider the fruits on the trees;
. most of them are useless when they fall.
Consider the crops on the ground;
. they are more useful where they are.
Still, consider the large watermelon;
. its stem cannot lift it up.
Then, consider the plum on its tree;
. its weight raises it high.
Consider the mass of the rock;
. it falls straightly to the ground.
Consider the lightness of the feather;
. it settles down gently.
And consider the top of earth;
. it is made up by mud and dirt.
Consider the bottom of the ground;
. gold and precious stones are found in it.
For the Great I AM has more grace
. for the humble than the proud;
. pay attention, you lofty ones,
. for there is wisdom in meekness!

Tanaga 2: Ating Pag-ibig (Our Love)
(In Filipino)
'Di sa tayo'ng umibig
'Di tayo'ng nag-alay -
Una'ng Dios sa pag-ibig,
Buhay n'ya'y kanyang bigay!
(Not that we're the ones who loved,
What we laid, it's not of it -
Our God is the first who loved
And His life is our profit!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 15 march 2012
Tanaga 9 - Sa Jerusalem (To Jerusalem)
Si Cesar ay namatay
At Roma'y bumagsak -
Ariel, Hari mo'y buhay
At 'di ka mawawasak!
(Caesar is no more to thrive
And fallen now's Ancient Rome -
Ariel, your King is alive,
Abaddon won't be your home!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 4 january 2012
Tanaga 3 & 4 - Tagumpay (Victory)
Hindi sa kalakasan
Ni sa kapangyarihan
Kundi sa Espiritu
Ng Dios ng kabanalan.
'Pagkat lama'y papanaw
At mundo'y magugunaw
Ngunit ang 'Spiritu Santo'y
Ating wagas na ilaw
(It's not by human flesh's might
Nor by its power to fight
But by the Holy Spirit
Of the Holy God of light.
For human flesh will falter
And universe will flicker
But the Spirit of Jesus'
Our Shekinah forever!)
