Light of a Million Mornings

It made me feel the same way it did years ago when I watched Pauie and the rest of the UPSA perform it live in the Abelardo Theater (UP College of Music). I was in awe, and in a way, inspired.

Light of a Million Mornings became my favorite UPSA piece, next to The Circle of Life (hehehe).

Watching it on You Tube, and reading the comments complimenting Pauie on such a job well done, made me feel proud of my friend. We auditioned together for a then new organization at the UP - the Music Circle. They took notice of her awesome performance - how talented she was, and how she lights up when she sings. Anyway, we didn't push through with Music Circle, but months later - Pauie signed up with the Singing Ambassadors.

She's been a member for many years now, and it has been an integral part of her life. And we, her friends, have been sworn in to the UPSA fans' club as lifetime members. :) We would troop to the UP Theater, or to the College of Music, to watch their concerts, and it was always an amazing show. Even after college or when we had our differences, we would go.

I love the musicality of this song, having seen it performed by Pauie and the UPSA made it even more beautiful for me. But what appeals to me, is what the song actually conveys - deep faith in the Lord, and the joy that faith could bring into one's life. I was surprised that over at You Tube, people are comparing the performances and pitting Regine's version over Sarah's, but that's not the point. It's not who sings it better. Anyone who has found something they believed in, a faith that sustains them, deserves the right to sing this beautiful song. We all deserve to have the light of a million mornings fill our hearts.


Wouldn't it be nice to be a candle that shines for the Lord? I think I saw myself as one, when I was younger and more - spiritual.

Anyway, I really just wanted to show everyone that my friend's on You Tube. Haha :)
