Dwells God

Arnel Aquino, SJ

Behind our restless search for greater meaning,
And answer to our deepest questioning,
Beneath relentless faith, boundless hope, surrend'ring love.
Behind our trust that all things will be better,
That peace will reign and mercy will prevail,
Deep in our hearts, in our souls, in all we are...

Ref:
Dwells God, eternal God,
self-giving God, all pow'rful love.
More than we ever know or may believe,
the truth remains that deep within us dwells God.

Behind the deep regret for all our failings
And hunger for the pardon of our sins,
Beneath our guild and shame, desire to rise from them again.
Behind our courage to forgive each other,
And willingness to heal other's pain,
Deep in our hearts, in our souls, in all we are...

...Dwells God, eternal God, self-giving God, all pow'rful love
More than we ever know or may believe, the truth remains
That deep within us dwells God.

Christ be Magnified

Manoling Francisco, SJ

I have been crucified with Christ,
Yet I live no longer I.
Yet I live no longer I,
For Christ lives in me.

May Christ be magnified, Christ be magnified
Through all I am, whether by life or death.
May Christ be magnified, Christ be magnified.
For to me, life is Christ and death is gain.

May Christ be magnified, O, Christ be magnified
Through all I am, by life or death.
May Christ be magnified, O, Christ be magnified. Oh!
For to me, life is Christ and death is gain.
For to me, life is Christ and death is gain.  Ooh...
