This is another song added for Breaking Bread in 2023 by OCP. It is a collection of musical Beatitudes from Ricky Manalo with help for the music from Jesse Manibusan and was written in 2015. It is mostly English but has Tagalog in the refrain, albeit with alternative English lyrics. The Filipino words are the best thing about the song so if you are going to use it go all in. Otherwise there are a lot of musical settings of the Beatitudes and I’m not sure this is one I’d choose.
Who cares what I like – if you like it the sheet music is at OCP, where the text is in their sample.
I made a backing and the notes follow the version with the Tagalog chorus.
Maybe it is just this version that puts me off:
This is better:
I like this a lot – it has enthusiasm – and they are helping people to learn the song with scrolling chords and lyrics. I could learn to like it with their fine example.
