Jordan Legaspi (24 July 1978 / Davao City, Philippines)
The vocation
The wind blows whispering words of love
From the north to the south a peaceful dove
Across the mile- west to east a gentle touch
And the warmth fills the coldness of my heart
The waves flash till daybreak a caring kiss
Feel this emptiness with thy master’s bless
From nightfall ignorance you wash great amen
And the tenderness painted oh thy heaven
The everyday offering burned
A little candle great light cast its shade
From the hills thy words of hope echoes
And the mountains thy joy is embracing arms
Earth breathe the freshness the dawn of faith
From age to age remembering the glorious death
Reaching to my ears the solitary life He offer
Bringing salvation living life rooted to prayer
