This Year

This is year I shall have love divine My heart from sin will be set free I will abolish vices especially wine My heart I shall only offer it to she The wife, who gave me children one two three. Human hearts cleave so quickly Their spirit longs with ardent hate Jealousy and spite lies thickly This year I hope they become straight The heart full of love they must restate. This year we shall hear God’s true voice Concentrate and listen all shall be revealed Love thy neighbour and you shall rejoice No more killings in the street in the field Like Christ on the cross you will be healed.
