2010- Hallelujahs

2010… Hallelujahs 

The New Year has just begun.
Resolutions and goals set.
Health, wealth, success and great fun
Peace in life holds no regret. 

Friends and foe be not forlorn.
Adorn a cheery nature.
Contemplate, but never scorn.
Man is a God-made creature.

So, as the days pass this year,
Spread hope, peace to all nations.
Live uprightly without fear.
Replenish God's creations.

Think of ways to, “Be ye kind.”
Take action at dawn's waking.
Sweep out evil thoughts of mind.
Live perfect, sin forsaking.

Seek not to another bind.
Make goodness follow your path.
And when holiness you find.
Feel the pleasure of no wrath.

God and man on life missions
Shall together bring about
Successful souls.  Submissions.
Perfection.  Hail the King.  Shout!
