Good afternoon Canteeners,Troops, Vets, Allies, Volunteers....just quickly dropping by to say hello and share this song below (one of my favorites - I choke up every time I hear this) that was made popular by a Filipino Artist, Basil Valdez. What I don't know is if this is an original Filipino composition or not. But it doesn't matter since what matters is the message of the song. I'll post the lyrics and hopefully will be able to post the link so you can listen to it. One link has the vocals but you need windows media and the other has only the melody but no vocals. The melody plays right away as you open the link. One of these days, I will learn to do what Mojo2001 does with these songs.

Lift up your hands
Basil Valdez

Life is not at all that bad, my friend, hmmm
If you believe in yourself
If you believe there's Someone
Who walks through life with you
You'll never be alone
Just learn to reach out
And open your heart
Lift up your hands to God
and He'll show you the way

And He said, "Cast your burdens upon me,
Those who are heavily laden,
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads
For the yoke I will give you is easy
And My burden is light;
Come to Me, and I will give you rest"

When you feel the world
Is tumbling down on you
And you have no one
That you can hold on to
Just face the rising sun
And you'll see hope
And there's no need to run
Lift up your hands to God
And He'll make you feel alright

And He said, "Cast your burdens upon me,
Those who are heavily laden,
Come to Me, all of you who are tired
Of carrying heavy loads
For the yoke I will give you is easy
And My burden is light;
Come to Me, and I will give you rest"

"Come to Me, and I will give you rest"
