​DEAR NEW YEAR 

​Dear new year 
We expect you with joy
And long for you with happiness, 
So open wide your ear
Like an old boy 
Turn everything around in easiness 
For the new moon
To blossom soon. 

Dear new year 
We abound in fear
As we wear and tear, 
But we know you bear
All that would clear
And make us dear
Because your divine gear
Shall navigate our rear
For the world to hear, 
Then we shall be near
With our ready pear
To reach for the moon. 

HERALDS OF JESUS ​

​Heralds of Jesus 
Take a message to Herold 
Tell him, Joseph is poor
He would not be at the banquet 
Mary is not wayward 
She would not sleep with him.

Heralds of Jesus 
Take a message to Herold 
Tell him, the manger is a hospital 
And the animals, divine midwives, 
No complications, no emergency 
No baby swapping, no bills. 

Heralds of Jesus 
Take a message to Herold 
Tell him, the wise men are destined 
And so are their gifts,
Their stars are celestial 
And so are their paths, 
Their visit is predestined 
And Jesus is their king. 

Heralds of Jesus 
Tell Herold and his kingdom 
Jesus is born, born in Bethlehem 
The Lord to conquer and save, 
He, to rule and reign.
