A Happy New Year

One time a year everybody’s wondering
about the new year, what will it bring
Will it bring us sorrow, will it bring us happiness
Will it be a good year, or will it be a mess

Happy New Year in every land
Happy New Year for everyone
I do believe, and that is clear,
that a year with Jesus is a happy year

Another year when children will be born
into this world, to maybe weep and mourn
as innocent victims of poverty and war
Let’s get together in fighting for
a Happy New Year …

We’re waiting for this kingdom soon to come
where God is papa and Jesus king
When this old world will be forever young
and the whole creation will join and sing:
Happy New Year …
