In 2002 when I was alone at the Molave Dormitory in AUP (Adventist University of the Philippines) coz all my roomates were sleeping, I had nothing to do. In my idleness, I mean when I was dreaming, I thought I got an inspiration to compose a song. This was my first time ever to compose a song. I was so glad when the genre of my first song was religious and I used Indonesian for the lyric. The song was entitled "Pujilah, Muliakan NamaNya" (Praise, Adore His Name). I sang this song once in Depok Timur Church in 2004. Here is the lyric:
PUJILAH, MULIAKAN NAMANYAVerse 1:Allahku baik aku bertrima kasih
Dialah sang khalik yang maha pengasih
Allahku baik aku sujud padaNya
Dialah sang pemilik bumi sgala isinya
Pre-Chorus:Mulia, mulia, muliakan namaNya
Kabarkan kasihNya ke seluruh dunia
Mulia, mulia, muliakan namaNya
Kabarkan kasihNya ke seluruh dunia
Chorus:Oh, pujilah nama Allah
Pujilah sang gembala
Penuntun kita ke surga nan megah
Oh pujilah Tuhan, muliakan namaNya
Pujilah, muliakan namaNya
Verse 2:Ajaib kuasaNya pada isi dunia
Besarlah kasihNya kepada manusia
KasihNya tulus Dia slamatkan kita
Dia rela terhunus di salib di Golgota
Pre-Chorus:Mulia, mulia, muliakan namaNya
Kabarkan kasihNya ke seluruh dunia
Mulia, mulia, muliakan namaNya
Kabarkan kasihNya ke seluruh dunia
Chorus:Oh, pujilah nama Allah
Pujilah sang gembala
Penuntun kita ke surga nan megah
Oh pujilah Tuhan, muliakan namaNya
Pujilah, muliakan namaNya
Bridge:Oh, pujilah nama Allah
Pujilah sang gembala
Penuntun kita ke surga nan megah
Pujilah namaNya yang Maha Suci
Muliakan namaNya yang tinggi
Chorus:Oh, pujilah nama Allah
Pujilah sang gembala
Penuntun kita ke surga nan megah
Oh pujilah Tuhan, muliakan namaNya
Pujilah, muliakan namaNya
Ending:Pujilah, muliakan namaNya
