Madilim ba?

        I used to think that this song was "Jologs" when I first heard it aired over the radio.  Nowadays, this 1988 Awit Awards Song of the Year by Gary V. is starting to become my regular morning repertoire inside the bathroom.  It's a good thing the neighbors (and their dogs) are too far away from the bathroom window so they can barely hear the racket I'm creating every morning =)

        It's a spirit-lifting number with a reassuring message that He will always be there for me, no matter what...

Take Me Out of the Dark
- Gary Valenciano

Just what is it in me?
Sometimes I just don't know
What keeps me in Your love,
Why you never let me go

And though you're in me now,
I fall and hurt you still
My Lord, please show me how
To know just how you feel

You have forgiven me
Too many times it seems
I feel I'm not what you might call
A worthy Christian after all

And though I love You so
Temptation finds its way to me

Teach me to trust in You
With all my heart
To lean not on my own understanding
I just forget
You won't give me what I can't bear

Take me out of the dark, my Lord
I don't wanna be there...

 
        I really like this song but don't come to me saying na "tumatanda na ako", because I'll answer you back "eh ano? guwapo naman!", hehehe.  Well, ganyan lang talaga, it's just part of the pleasant discoveries that I find along the way as I journey through life with a renewed purpose.

        Life is surely worth living for Him!

        Now, if only I could find a guitar chord music sheet for this song -- my daily early morning rendition would be truly complete =)
