A New Year Song

The garrish glares light now the sky And upward turns the people's eye In every heart a silent longing On every saged heart a silent wish For all things old must swiftly perish And all embrace the year's new coming And all be glad to sing A love song to the king A love song to the king And all be glad to sing To God who promised everything And saved us on eagle's wing And light gleams a thousand hopes A thousand kisses bring And marching feet conquer new the slopes And happy children sing The new year, the new year, another chance To live, and love again, and laugh, and dance And worship new the king And worship now the king

L'nass, it would be so nice if all hearts were singing for the king. If all hearts turned to Him, the world would have no need of war machines. This is lovely for the New Year. Luv, Andrea

I like this one, I would like to hear the music to it (challenge someone at soup to write it, perhaps in a contest)... the church does need its own new year song. One love
