I'm Lost

Dear Lord,

I couldn't recognize my self
   when I'm not with You...
Same also as I couldn't recognize myself
   when I'm with You...

I couldn't recognize my self
   when I'm not with You because
When I'm not with You,
    I am doing things which I know are sins.
When I'm not with You,
   My attitude are being swept by my unknown mood swings.
When I'm not with You,
   I am having strange and undefined feelings.

Same also as I couldn't recognized
   myself when I'm with you because
When I'm with You,
   I am able to do things that I cannot do with all by myself.
When I'm with You,
   I am having righteousness that I know, the source is not myself.x
When I'm with You,
   I am lost in the Presence that is so different with this world itself.

Lord...
I lost myself when
   I'm not with You.
And, I lost myself
   When I'm with You.

But Lord,
I don't want it when I lost myself
   and couldn't recognized myself
when I'm not with You.. 
I want losing myself,
   and couldn't recognized myself
when I'm with You..

May You always make me as someone who always desires to be with You.
May You always give me a heart that desire to be always with You.

Make me lost in myself.
Make everything about myself be lost.
So everything that is in me will only be all about You.
About You, alone...


(Original text from Filipino composition)

Dear Lord,

Hindi ko makilala ang sarili ko
  kung wala ako sa'Yo
gayundin naman...
Hindi ko makilala ang sarili ko
   'pag nasa Iyo ako.

Hindi ko makilala ang sarili ko
  'pag wala ako sa'Yo dahil
'pag wala ako sa'Yo,
  gumagawa ako ng alam ko na kasalanan.
'Pag wala ako sa'Yo,
  nagkakaroon ako ng ugali na hindi ko maintindihan.
'Pag wala ako sa'Yo,
  nagkakaroon ako ng masasamang
pakiramdam na di ko mapangalanan.

Gayundin naman,
  hindi ko makilala ang sarili ko
'pag nasa Iyo ako dahil 'pag
  nasa Iyo ako,
Nakakagawa ako ng mga bagay
  na 'di ko kayang gawin sa sarili ko.
'Pag nasa Iyo ako,
  nagkakaroon ako ng kabutihan na
alam kong hindi ako ang pinagmumulan.
'Pag nasa Iyo ako,
nawawala ako sa Presensya na
  ibang-iba sa kamunduhan.

Lord... Nawawala ako sa sarili ko
  'pag wala ako sa Iyo.
At nawawala rin ako sa sarili ko
  'pag nasa Iyo ako.

Pero Lord, ayoko 'yong nawawala ako
  at 'di makilala ang sarili ko
'pag wala ako sa'Yo.
Gusto ko iyong nawawala ako
  at 'di makilala ang sarili ko
'pag nasa Iyo ako.

Lagi Mo po nawa akong gawing isang
  tao na ninanais na palaging nasa Iyo. Lagi Mo po nawa akong bigyan ng
  pusong nais ay laging nasa Iyo.

Iwala Mo po ako sa sarili ko.
Iwala Mo po ang tungkol sa sarili ko. Upang ang lahat lahat ng akin ay
  maging patungkol na lamang sa'Yo.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
-Galatians 2:20 (NIV)


To God be the Glory!
