Langit sa Piling Mo

Langit ang buhay
sa tuwing ika'y hahagkan.
Anong ligaya sa tuwing mamasdan,
sa piling mo, ang gabi'y tila araw.
Ikaw ang pangarap, ikaw lamang.

what shall we say about heaven? What is heaven?
If we want a theological treatise on it,
we can consult various theologians and scholars. Can we maybe
summarize their point by saying that heaven is none other than

being with Christ (sa piling mo...)
, with Him is profound joy, (anong ligaya sa tuwing ika'y mamasdan)
for He is all we desire, (ikaw ang pangarap, ikaw lamang)
and with Him, nights are as days. (ang gabi'y tila araw)

May we experience the Risen Lord, the Unconquerable Sun,
transforming our nights into days, thereby allowing us to experience
heaven even while here on earth.
