Quotes About Life from Maya Angelou

"I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. 

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. 
I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.”
 
I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. 

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. 

I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. 
I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. 

I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
 
I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

— Maya Angelou

Footprints in the Sand: English & Tagalog Version

Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach

with the Lord..

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

For each scene, I noticed two sets of

footprints in the sand,

one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord..

When the last scene of my life flashed before me,

I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

I noticed that many times along the path of my life

there was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest

and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me

and I questioned the Lord about it:

"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,

you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why

when I need you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied:

"My precious child, I love you and would

never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints, it was then

that I carried you."

Mga Yapak sa Buhangin

Isang gabi, nanaginip ang isang lalaki.

Napangarap niyang naglalakad siya sa may dalampasigan na kapiling ang Panginoon.

Lumitaw mula sa kalawakan ang mga kaganapan mula sa kanyang buhay.

Sa bawat kaganapan, nakapuna siya ng dalawang pangkat ng mga yapak sa buhangin;

sa kanya ang isang tambalan, at sa Panginoon ang isa pa.

Noong lumitaw sa harapan niya ang huling kaganapan ng kanyang buhay,

muli niyang tiningnan ang mga bakas ng mga paang nasa buhanginan.

Napansin niya na maraming ulit sa kahabaan ng daanan ng kanyang buhay na mayroon lamang isang pangkat ng mga yapak.

Napansin din niya na nangyari ito sa pinakamabababa at pinakamalulungkot na mga panahon sa kanyang buhay.

Talagang ikinabahala niya ito at tinanong niya ang Panginoon hinggil dito.

"Panginoon, sinabi mo na kapag nagpasya akong sumunod sa iyo, palagi kang maglalakad na kapiling ko.

Subalit napuna kong sa panahon ng pinakamasuliraning mga panahon sa aking buhay, mayroon lamang isang pangkat ng mga yapak sa buhangin.

Hindi ko maunawaan kung bakit iiwanan mo ako sa panahong kailangan kita."

Tumugon ang Panginoon, "Pinakamamahal kong anak, iniibig kita at hindi ko magagawang lisanin ka kailan man.

Sa panahon ng iyong mga pagsubok at paghihirap,

noong makita mo ang isang pangkat lamang ng mga bakas ng mga paa sa buhangin,

ito ang panahong pinapasan kita."

Lyrics of Christian Songs 2

Lord I Offer My Life

All that I am, all that I have

I lay them down before You, oh Lord

All my regrets, all my acclaims

The joy and the pain, I'm making them Yours

Lord, I offer my life to You

Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory

Lord I offer my days to You

Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer You my life

Things in the past, things yet unseen

Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true

All of my heart, all of my praise

My heart and my hands are lifted to You

Lord, I offer my life to You

Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory

Lord I offer my days to You

Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer You my life

What can we give that You have not given?

And what do we have that is not already Yours?

All we possess are these lives we're living

That's what we give to You, Lord

Lord, I offer my life to You

Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory

Lord I offer my days to You

Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer You my life

Lord, I offer my life to You

Everything I've been through, use it for Your glory

Lord I offer my days to You

Lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice

Lord I offer You my life

Lord I offer You my life

Pass It On

It only takes a spark to get a fire going,

And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing;

That's how it is with God's Love,

Once you've experienced it,

Your spread the love to everyone

You want to pass it on.

What wondrous time is spring,

When all the trees are budding

The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming;

That's how it is with God's love,

Once you've experienced it.

You want to sing, it's fresh like spring,

You want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend

This happiness that I've found;

You can depend on God

It matters not where you're bound,

I'll shout it from the mountain top
I want the world to know

The Lord of love has come to me

I want to pass it on.

I'll shout it from the mountain top
I want the world to know

The Lord of love has come to me

I want to pass it on.

Lead Me Lord

Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon

Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life

You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I cannot live alone
Let me stay 
By Your guiding love
All through my life

Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord
Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I cannot live alone
Let me stay 
By Your guiding love
All through my life
You are my light
You're the lamp upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I  cannot live alone
Let me stay 
By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, Oh Lord
Lead me Lord
