As the title suggests, Llamera’s song is about expressing one’s gratitude for God’s overwhelming love.

Other entries were “Sayo’y Alay ang Papuri” by four-time ASOP contender Antonio Rodeo and “May Dakilang Lumikha,” by brother and sister tandem Boeni Ben and Daisy Jean Aroy respectively.

In contrast to the usual power ballads in this competition, Sunday’s entries were a refreshing treat of R&B’s with cool and contemporary melodies.

Gracing the show as guest judges were powerful songstress Dessa and hitmaker Jungee Marcelo, whose works include Gary V’s Hataw Na and Daniel Padilla’s ““Nasa Yo Na Ang Lahat.”
