[Verse 1]
This is Jun[Am]e Keithley Castro.
My personal conversion began with
the events that brought people power
to the attention of the world in 1986.
Born and raised a Catholic,
I had rebelled against my faith
years before.
But in 1985, by some quirk of fate,
I found myself at Lunetta
for the commemoration of
the end of the Marian year.
My son had been one of those chosen to lead,
alongside cardinal sin,
an act of entrustment to the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
Though I no longer believed
in these expressions of Catholic piety,
as a mother I found myself
echoing my son's words,
and thus consecrated myself to
Mary's immaculate heart.
She then led me to [Dm]total surrender
[C]on the night [Am]when Raggio Bandido
emerged as a voice of hope
from the deafening silence
of the airwaves of fear.
Fifteen years later,
the children of the people
who were the spiritual warriors of 1986
emerged and poured into EDSA
by the hundreds of thousands.
As I stood on that stage
on the night of January 17, 2001,
and looked down at their eager faces,
I realized with a great sense of awe
that God was again moving in our land.
[Dm]There, [Am]underneath our mother's mantle,
we [Dm]were one [Am]with the saints
by our witness on Epifanio de
los [Dm]Santos Av[Am]enue,
Edsa 1 and 2.
And so, with the rest of
our nation and our people,
I too echo our mother's words.
My soul magnifies the
greatness of the Lord,
[Dm]an d my spirit[Am] rejoices in God my Savior.
[C]For he who is mighty
has done [F]great things for me,
[Gsus4]and holy is[C] His name.[Em][C][F]
[Dm]Amen.
It's a [C]time of joy, a [G]time of peace,
a [Am]time when hearts are [F]then set free,
a [Em]time to heal the [Am]wounds of divi[Dm]sion.
[F]It's a [C]time of grace, a [G]time of hope,
a [Am]time of sharing the [F]gifts we have,
[Dm]a time [Gsus4]to build [C]a world that is [F]one.
[Gsus4]It's the [F]time to give thanks
[G]to the [C]Father, Son, and [Am]Spirit,
and with [F]Mary, our [Dm]mother,
we sing this [Bb]song.[F]
[Gsus4]Open your hear[C]ts to the Lord[G]
and begin [Am]to see the m[F]ystery
that [Dm]we are all togeth
[F]er as one [Bb]family.
[Gsus4]No more wall[G]s, no[C] more chains,[Em]
no more [Am]selfishness [F]and closed doors,
For [Dm]we are in th[C]e fullness of God's ti[Bb]me
[Gsus4]It's the time [F]of the gr[Dm]eat[Gsus4]
ju[C]bilee[F][C][Dm]
[Gsus4]It's a time of p[C]rayer, a time of g[G]race
A [Am]time to lift our [F]hands to God
A [Em]time to recall [Am]all o[Dm]ur graces
[Gsus4]It's a time to t[C]ouch, a time to r[Em]each
Those [Am]hearts that often [F]wander
A [Dm]time to bring them [F]back to
God's em[Bb]brace[Gsus4]
[C]It's [F]the time to give [G]thanks
To the [C]Father, Son, and [Am]Spirit
And with [F]Mary, our [Dm]mother,
we sing this [Bb]song.
We sing this [Dm]song.
[A]Open your [D]hearts to the [A]Lord
and begin [Bm]to see the m[G]ystery
that [Em]we are all together[G] as one fa[C]mily.
[A]No more wal[D]ls, no more cha[F#m]ins,
no more [Bm]selfishness [G]and closed doors.
For [Em]we are in th[D]e fullness
of God's [C]time.
[A]Open your [D]hearts to the [A]Lord
And begin [Bm]to see the m[G]ystery
That [Em]we are all together[Dsus4]
[G]as one [C]family.[G]
[A]No more [D]walls, no more [F#m]chains
No more [Bm]selfishness [G]and closed doors
For [Em]we are in the fullne[D]ss
of God's [C]song
[Asus4]It's the [A]time [G]of the gr[Em]eat j[Asus4]ubilee
[D]Ope[G]n y[Asus4]our heart[A]s to [D]the Lord[F#m]
[D]It's [G]time of [Em]the great jubilee!
