Life Can Begin Again – Christ Emphasis Week Theme Song
Verse 1
I want something real, not fancy words
I’m done with my false hope.
I want something whole, something pure
I’m tired of enslaving rules.
Refrain:
‘coz deep inside I’m broken, deep inside I’m weak.
The twist and turns of this life made me feel so down, oh down.
Chorus:
Show me your love Oh Jesus, teach me how to live for you.
Give me a sense of freedom, ‘coz nobody else will do.
I’ll take that zig zag, zig zag road if you’ll stay close with me.
This is the day, this is the hour to sing, life can begin again.
Verse 2
Having this clear night without stars is just like an illusion.
I want something fresh, simply new, somehow there’s something more than this.
Refrain:
‘coz deep inside I’m worn out, deep inside I’m dry.
I need your traveling grace now, Oh give me one more chance, just once more.

What do you want from life? – Christ Emphasis Week Update
Christ Emphasis Week 2011
What a sight to see the students coming in groups, walking towards Rose Memorial Auditorium, University Church, and EMC Conference Room, to attend the Christ Emphasis Week convocations. Indeed, the students who received Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior in their hearts, whether they came forward or not, are now heaven’s treasure trove.

Christ Emphasis Week – What Do You Want Out of Life?
It’s Christ Emphasis Week (CEW) again at Central Philippine University.
This year’s CEW theme is “What do you want out of life?”
The CEW text is in John 1:37-39.
Beginning July 18 until July 23, class periods are shortened to give time to the regular CEW convocations scheduled for elementary, high school, and college students.
Nelson Ayala and his team from the Agape Philippine-American Ministries composed this semester’s CEW speakers.
Just a reflection, if Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the LIFE, then the question is not only “What do I want out of life?”
It is more comforting and God-directed if we could also be asking and reflecting, “What does LIFE (Jesus Christ) want from me?”
