Chorus
Habang bata pa alalahanin ka
Bago pa nga ang masamang araw na
O Ama
O Ama
Hanggang sa pagtanda mga tema ng akda
Bawat pahina sa aking talambuhay ay Ikaw
O Ama
I
Salamat o Ama sa Iyong kabutihan
At tinawag Mo ako sa aking kabataan
Upang Ikaw ay mapaglingkuran
Sa loob ng bayan Mo
‘Di ko talaga inaasahang
Ako’y makakabilang sa banal Mong bayan
Kaya ngayon ay naririto
Nagpapahayag ng pasasalamat sa Iyo
Repeat chorus
II
Dukha man ako at bata sa gulang
Maglilingkod sa’Yo kahit na magkulang
At buhay, lakas ilalaan
Papupurihan, aawitan Ka nang magpakailanman
Ikaw ang siyang aking iibigin
Ngalan Mo ay laging luluwalhatiin
O Amang banal, salamat sa pagtawag
Ibinilang Mo ako na lingkod Mong tunay kaya…
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Kaya ipinapahayag sa Iyo
Nagpapasalamat sa pag-ibig Mo
Salamat po
Nawa’y marapatin Mo
Ang pagupuri sa Iyo
Pagpupuri sa Iyo
Repeat chorus (modulation)
…masama ang araw na
O Ama
…mga tema ng akda
…bawat pahina
Coda
…ay Ikaw
O Ama (2x)
Composed by an autocad operator, “O Ama” is an R&B praise song that relays a person’s deep desire to serve God at a young age.
Hailing from Taguig City, Jhoter Jone Villan has been joining ASOP Musical Festival a couple of times until he was finally commended as the first grand finalist for Year 8.
He said that he was nervous during the monthly finals but his mother’s encouragement reeled out his confidence, thus a hip display of his songwriting skills through his composition.
Rendering a cheery and apt performance of Jhoter’s song entry is former “Going Bulilit” star, Chacha Cañete.
