Lyrics

I
Hindi maiwasan ang buhay sa mundo
Na gumagapang dahil sa pagsubok
‘Di maiwasang mangamba hanggang sa luha’y pumatak
Umiiyak, nanginginig, at natatakot

II
Hindi malaman ang gagawin, kaba ay nangunguna
Minsa’y nawawalan tayo bigla ng pag-asa
Ngunit ang Panginoon ay naghihintay lamang
Na Ikaw ay lilingon at tatawag

CHORUS
Gabundok man ang pagsubok sa buhay
Hindi dapat huminto sa paglalakbay
Dios ay nariyan at kailanman ‘di tayo iiwan
Paglingap Niya ay wagas para sa lahat

III
Minsan ang suliranin ay katulad ng bagyo
Halos ‘di mapigilan ang pagragasa nito
Subalit maghintay lang, ulan ay titila
At ang araw ay sisikat dala ay biyaya

REPEAT CHORUS except “para sa lahat”

BRIDGE
Magtiwala lang sa ating Maykapal
Hindi dapat tayo panghinaan
Bawat pangangailangan ay nakikita Niya
May Dios tayo na nariyan at tutulong
At tutulong…

REPEAT CHORUS 2X

Song Story

In November of 2016, the original song of teenage composer May Alona Trogue, “Gabundok Man”, was chosen to be the first grand finalist of ASOP Year 6. With its R&B style and millennial sound, her composition delivers the message: keep praising God in the midst of insurmountable problems and you will overcome. She said she was inspired to write this song after hearing biblical topics at their church.

Impressed by ASOP Year 5 winner Noemi Ocio, the young composer is also looking to make her way into the musical world.

Interpreter Brenan Espartinez is set to deliver a youthful rendition of the song at the grand finals night.
