Burnout

Oh, 'wag kang tumingin ng ganyan sa akin
'Wag mo akong kulitin 
'Wag mo akong tanungin

Hindi katulad mo, ako ay 'di magbabago
'Di na tayo katulad ng dati
Kay bilis ng sandali

Oh kay tagal din kitang minahal
Oh kay tagal din kitang minahal

Kung iisipin mo, 'di naman dati ganito
Teka muna, teka lang
Kailan ka nga ba nailang?
Kung iisipin mo, 'di naman dati ganito
Kay bilis kasi ng buhay
Pati ikaw natangay

Oh kay tagal din kitang minahal
Oh kay tagal din kitang minahal

Tinatawag kita...
Sinusuyo ka pa...
'Di mo man marinig...
'Di mo man madama...

Oh kay tagal din kitang mamahalin
Oh kay tagal din kitang mamahalin

Mamahalin... mamahalin...



You have just read the lyrics of Sugarfree's Burnout. This song holds a special place in my heart because, when I was feeling tired and drained with all the difficulties I encounter in service, family and work, this was the song that He used to speak to me. 

Come to think of it... what if God can truly sing? I imagine Him with the guitar, in center stage, with a spotlight, singing this song directed to me. I imagined Him putting emphasis on these lines:

Tinatawag kita...
Sinusuyo ka pa...
'Di mo man marinig...
'Di mo man madama...

But sometimes, the circumstances in our lives have hardened our hearts and closed our minds. We reject Him, we reject everything. But does He ever stop loving us?

Oh kay tagal din kitang mamahalin
Oh kay tagal din kitang mamahalin

Guess not. We are already anchored in His love. We were created out of love, saved because of love and He will never stop chasing us no matter how far we go because YOU ARE NEVER FAR AWAY FROM HIS REACH.
