A Happy New Year

Ingemar Olsson

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 watting for this kingdom soon to come
where God is papa and Jesus king
When thios old world will be forever young
and the whole creation will join and sing:
Happy New Year ...
