Eliezer (Hebrew: אֱלִיעֶזֶר, Modern Eli'ezer Tiberian ʼĔlîʻézer, "Help/Court of my God") was the name of at least three different individuals in the Bible.
Eliezer was Moses and Zipporah's second son. His name means "God is help" in Hebrew.
The verse in the Book of Exodus (18:4) states:
Both Gershom and Eliezer were born during the time Moses had taken refuge in Midian and had married Jethro's daughter Zipporah.
There is also an Eliezer known as Eliezer of Damascus (Hebrew: דַּמֶּשֶׂק אֱלִיעֶזֶר, Modern Damméseq Eliʿézer Tiberian Damméśeq ʾĔlîʿézer), son of Nimrod, and head of the patriarch Abraham's household mentioned in the Book of Genesis (15:2).
There is an interpretation in Bereshit Rabbah (43:2), cited by Rashi, that Eliezer went alone with Abraham to rescue Lot, with the reference to "his initiates" stated to be 318 in number (Lech-Lecha 14:14) being the numerical value of Eliezer's name in Hebrew, interpreted in tractate Nedarim (32a) as Abraham not wishing to rely on a miracle by taking only one individual. According to most interpretations, the unnamed "...slave, the elder of the household, who controlled all that was his" in Chayei Sarah 24:2 who acted as a marriage broker (sharchan) for Isaac was this Eliezer.

Paano ang buhay kong ito
Ngayon tayo ay magkalayo
Hindi pa ba sapat ang aking pag-ibig
Di ba't nag-sumpaan tayo
Sino, ano ang hinahanap mo
Bakit nagkukubli't nagtatago
Ang tunay mong hangarin
Ba't di sabihin sa 'kin
Mahirap ba akong mahalin
[Chorus]
Paano kita iibigin
Kung di mo ibibigay ang puso mo sa akin
Ano ang pumipigil sa damdamin at sa puso mo
Maghihintay ako sabihin mong mahal mo na ako
[Chorus 2]
Paano kita iibigin
(Paano ang buhay kong ito)
Kung 'di mo ibibigay ang puso mo sa akin
(Ngayon tayo ay magkalayo)
Ano ang pumipigil sa damdamin at sa puso mo
(Hindi pa ba sapat ang aking pag-ibig)
Maghihintay ako na sabihin mong mahal mo na ako
(Di ba't nag-sumpaan tayo)
Di ko matitiis ang malayo ka
Kung kailan ako nagmahal mawawala pa
Mawawala ka
[Repeat Chorus 2]
[Repeat Chorus]
Maghihintay ako (maghihintay ako)
Na sabihin mong (na sabihin mong)
