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
