"....Because you Loved Me....."





There was this song sang by Celine Dion that has caught my attention a long time ago. I said to myself this is a perfect song that will describe exactly what my parents do to us since childhood. The song also in my opinion best fit to be in the book of psalms as in the same way I thought about how the Lord shared His life to us , a kind of love that penetrates deeply into our soul.


On Father's Day , I am dedicating this song to my Dad ( "Tatay" ). Tay this is for you. If you will follow the words carefully you have shown and demonstrated the entire song to me. And I believe even greater. I borrowed a video from youtube and I discovered this one as shown. This is what I have thought before , I remember the Lord and believed that He could be inside you when you shared these unforgettable moments with us. And I want you to know Tay that I am very grateful all these years and I promise to live to your expectation.....to see me at peace and happy.

I love you Dad. You and Mom will always be a treasure in my heart that nobody can take away from me. I am everything I am now because you loved me...



" Because You Loved Me " - By Celine Dion
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

" Heavenly Father this is also your day. Because of your love I shall live on to complete my mission here on earth.... "
