*Based on the Song of Ruth - perhaps one of the most familiar and most well-loved passages in the Bible - "Pananatili" beautifully expresses the kind of love that sacrifices everything to embrace the way of another. At the same time, it is a song that contains Christ's reassurance that His love always remains with us.
Huwag mong naising lisanin kita;
Wala 'kong hangaring ika'y mag-isa.
Sa'n man magtungo, ako'y sasabay,
Magkabalikat sa paglalakbay.
Mananahan sa tahanang sisilong sa 'yo,
Yayakapin ang landasin at bayan mo.
Poon mo ay aking ipagbubunyi
At iibigin nang buong sarili.
Sa'n man abutin ng paghahanap,
Ikaw at ako'y magkasamang ganap.
Ipahintulot nawa ng Panginoon:
Ni kamataya'y maglalaho, anino ng kahapon.
Dahil pag-ibig ang alay sa 'yo, mananatili ako.
H'wag nang naising tayo'y mawalay,
H'wag nang isiping
Magwawakas ang paglalakbay.
