Lyrics

I
Ikaw ang kumot sa tag-lamig
Ang aking unan at kama sa paghimbing
Ikaw ang bahaghari pagkatapos ng ulan

II
Ikaw ang araw sa umaga
Ang aking hangin sa tuwing humihinga
Wala ang tulad ko kung ‘di Ka kilala

PRE-CHORUS 1
Ang awit na ‘to ay para lang sa’Yo

CHORUS 1
Himig ng pagpuri
Umaawit kami para sa’Yo
Tinig sa’king labi
Ito’y nagmumula sa puso ko
Wala na ‘kong mahihiling
Basta’t Ikaw ay nasa aking piling
Jesus, I love You… Lalalala
Jesus, I love You

III
Sa sandaling ito wala ‘kong hihingin
Pasasalamat lang ang tanging panalangin
Sa simpleng awit ihahandog ito

PRE-CHORUS 2
Dahil para sa’Yo ang awit kong ito

Himig ng pagpuri
Umaawit kami para sa’Yo
Tinig sa’king labi
Ito’y nagmumula sa puso ko
Wala na ‘kong mahihiling
Basta’t Ikaw ay nasa aking piling
Jesus, I love You… Lalalala
Jesus, I love You

BRIDGE
Higit pa sa yaman ng mundong ito

CHORUS 2 (MODULATION)
Ikaw ang maghahari
Umaawit kami para sa’Yo
Lahat ay nagpupuri
Pati mga anghel sa langit Mo
Wala na ‘kong mahihiling
Basta’t Ikaw ay laging nasa aking piling
Jesus, I love You (4x)
Jesus… I love You

Song Story

The real challenge for band member Timothy Joseph Cardona was writing something out of his comfort zone of alternative music and trying his skills on original praise songs.

In perfect timing, the overflowing blessings his family received that year provided him the appropriate prompt to write one. “Yung pasasalamat na ‘yon iniligay ko sa kanta,” said Timothy. (I put my gratitude in a song.)

What he came up with was a fun, pop standard composition that induced top critic Mon del Rosario to say that the song can be “potentially a major hit.”

Two other judges opined the same.”Very uplifting,” said guest judge Pat Castillo with a smile. “Sana ako na lang nagsulat ng kantang ito,” said fellow guest judge Rannie Raymundo. Even ASOP host Toni Rose Gayda gushed that she felt cleansed after hearing the song!

Timothy only wishes that people will eventually sing along to his song when they hear it playing.

“Malaking bagay na po iyon sa akin na kinakanta nila ‘yung kanta ko.” (It is a big thing for me to hear other people singing my composition.”)
