Like the weeds in the field
Driven by the wind
Never know where I should be
Then you came and took my hand
Like a father to his child
In every step of the way
You are here by my side
Like a father to his child
In every step of the way
You are here by my side
Refrain:
No words can say how great you are, O God
No words can say how great you are, O God
Chorus:
For day by day, I travel in this journey
You walk me through and give rest to my soul
Singing praises in eternity, my heart and soul desires to be
My destiny in this Journey
For day by day, I travel in this journey
You walk me through and give rest to my soul
Singing praises in eternity, my heart and soul desires to be
My destiny in this Journey
Didn’t know where to stand
On this hungry land
For everywhere I find
People walking blind
On this hungry land
For everywhere I find
People walking blind
If they only realize
Just how much You care
They would gather here
To serve You Lord, our Dear
Just how much You care
They would gather here
To serve You Lord, our Dear
Refrain 2:
And feel the power, Your words have to reveal
And feel the power, Your words have to reveal
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
Of many billion people in the dark and troubled world
You make us see Your mysteries unfold
Now we praise You in the East
All the way to where the sunsets
Your righteousness let all the nations see
Of many billion people in the dark and troubled world
You make us see Your mysteries unfold
Now we praise You in the East
All the way to where the sunsets
Your righteousness let all the nations see
(repeat the chorus except the last line)
My Destiny. . . .
Singing praises in eternity, my heart and soul
desires to be
My destiny in this Journey
My destiny in this Journey
Coda:
My destiny in this journey
Lord guide me
In this journey
My destiny in this journey
Lord guide me
In this journey
Journey
This song is composed
by Jay Alvin Consigo, arranged by Albert Tamayo, and interpreted by Roselle
Nava. This was an entry for the ASOP Grand Finals for the year 2011.
As we analyze the
song, the writer has his journey in his life. At the first stanza, he is
comparing his life or himself to a wave and to the weeds that were driven by
the wind and without knowing where he should be. Until at the second stanza has
shown that there is someone who took his hand just like a father taking his
child and guiding him in his every steps he made. In the chorus part, he states
that he has his Guide in his every journey. As we see the third stanza, he is
describing this world as a hungry land and everywhere he finds, people are
walking blind. At the fourth, he is making us realize that there is God that
cares for us and we have to serve Him. At the bridge, he states that in spite
of billions of people in this dark and troubled world, He make us see the
mysteries unfold. So His servants in the east up to the way where the sunsets,
are praising Him because of His righteousness.
This song was made by
a writer who is describing his journey in his life without knowing at first
where he stand until there came who took
his hands and guide him with his journey in this dark and troubled world and
with those people who are blind. Thanks Be To God!
