GOD'S BLESSINGS

New friends and old
Adventures so bold
God’s way of saying
Are you still praying

Met a senior friend who
Loves to laugh and play
Charming and daring
And she’s so caring

So when we let go
To step out boldly
God’s mission is done
As we unite as one

To find kindness and love
Acceptance and laughter
These are truly God's gifts
That we share ever after

So take that first step
And say how do you do
The riches of God’s blessings
Are just waiting for you

LIFE IS LIKE A SONG

Life is like a song
Waiting to be sung.
Will it be played softly
Or like the beating of a drum?

The lyrics are being
Recorded each and every day
In all that we do
And in all that we say.

If we choose to follow God and
Abstain from the devil and his ways
Our song will have a beautiful melody
One of purity and praise.

Now go ahead and write your glorious
Song as you live for God each day
For great will be your reward and
In heaven you'll forever stay.

REALITY OF LIFE

Life isn't just full of happiness,
It's sunsets, it's love, it's tears.
It's the thoughts of yesterdays memories,
That can wash away all out fears.

It's that very painful experience,
That each one of us has had.
It's the laughter that fills the air,
It's the tears when you are sad.

It's loving that someone special,
That at one time made you smile.
It's the pain of losing that person,
But the memories that make it worthwhile.

It's that child in every one of us,
Although in time we'll all be old.
It's the good times we'll never forget,
It's the memories we'll always hold.

It's the hug that we all need,
When we'd rather drown in our sorrow.
It's the hope in every one of us,
That makes us hold on for tomorrow.

LIGHT CONQUERS DARKNESS

If you’re in a darkened room,
And a small candle is lit,
The darkness retreats away
From light the candle emits

If two rooms are side-by-side,
One is dark, the other, bright,
And a door opens between,
The dark is conquered by light!

So when your life seems dark,
Just remember this law:
Light always conquers darkness!
Soon the darkness will withdraw,
And your heart will become bright,
As it is filled with the light.

MOMENTS OF MAGIC

by Ken Lim

Tomorrow brings enchanting moments
A brand new day of inspiration
Like a river flows
To where our dreams unfold
This feeling is never like before
A new beginning for all

Let us celebrate this moment
A brand new day awaits
Let us reach out for our dreams out there
Moments of magic we will share

Let us celebrate this moment
A brand new day awaits
We’ll always be, a city of friends
Time will bring for us to share
Moments of Magic

Time brings new hopes for us to move on
There’s more to treasure as we go on
The world is our stage
Let us find a way
Moving with a different time
Where horizon shines
