Dawn is here, oats are being prepared
For the boss and his kindred
For lunch it's rice & saluna, veg soup and salad
For dinner it's kousa with laban.

M-orning sun comes up
A-gain above the junction, 
Y-our whole life is warmed.

A-nother day breaks, 
N-ew dawn has given your heart
N-o hurt, pain, and harm.

Seven years Jacob worked hard
for the love of sweet Rachel.
Tricked by his Uncle Laban
He married Leah.

Leah truly loved Jacob
but she must now step away.
It was but a rehearsal.  
Rachel is his bride.

Ang sapatos ay gamit sa paa, 
At proteksyon katulad ng bota; 
Isuot mo ito sa paglakad, 
Upang ikaw ay maging mapalad.
Ang mga turo ng Panginoon, 
Mabisa sa lahat ng panahon; 
Huwag mo nga itong huhubarin, 
Sa masama'y huwag paalipin.

Ang kasuotang galing sa itaas
Ay pandigma laban kay Satanas; 
Ang salita ng katotohanan
Ay may lakip na kapayapaan.
Banal ang ebanghelyo ng Diyos, 
Ang aral ay tulad ng sapatos....

They say in his old age, Isaac was blind
    yet like his father Abraham, unusually kind

  Rebecca, his wife, came from a family evil and cruel
    her brother Laban tried to rob Eliezer of all of his jewels ... 

  Isaac loved his 'hunter-son,' Esau, a chip off Laban's block
    in Esau's brother Jacob, her pure son, Mother Rebecca put her stock -- 

  Foiling Isaac's plan to give his blessing to Esau, one so cruel
    ~ Love that is blind must not be permitted to rule...
