Lyrics

I

Nagliliwaliw nang iyong tinawag

Sa sanlibutang mandaraya

Maganda sa tingin, nakatago’y sumpa

Sa mga taong masasama

II

Nang makasumpong ng kabutihan

Sinuri ko’t pinag-aralan

Ikaw na nga ba ‘yan? Ikaw na nga ba ‘yan?

Kristo Hesus ng katotohanan

Pre-chorus

Karunungan, kapayapaan

‘di natutunan kaninoman

(‘di sa mga bulaan)

Kundi sa ‘Yo, sa ‘Yo lamang

O Dios ng katotohanan

Chorus

Utang ko sa ‘Yo ang aking buhay

Nais ko ngayo’y magtagumpay

Sa hinihingi Mong kasakdalan

Salamat sa Iyo, o Dios ng katotohanan

III

Katotohanang napatunayan

Tinanggap ko sa aking puso

Itong aral Mo at bautismo

‘di kayang tibagin ng kahit sino

Repeat pre-chorus and chorus

Instrumental

Repeat chorus

Coda

Dios ng katotohanan

Song Story

Music Director Darrell Joseph Villanueva describes his song, “Dios Ng Katotohanan”, as the overwhelming emotion a person feels upon hearing the truth about God’s teachings for the first time. He also mentioned that it is an expression of gratitude for receiving God’s grace after that.

Being a professional in his craft, Darrell sees challenges in composing a praise song. An important note is how one can create an expression of faith through a song that anyone can relate to.

That’s what he imposed on himself when he decided to join ASOP and was able to compose an alt-rock anthem of giving praise to the God of Truth.

A suitable discovery by the name of Niña Espinosa will surely be wowed at in ASOP Year 8 Grand Finals Night for the interpretation of Darrell’s qualifying entry.
